Make sure you're familiar with all of the resources available at your own school library. Your school library media specialist can help you navigate the school's databases and assist you with interlibrary loan.
Individuals wishing to have borrowing privileges at Stony Brook University Libraries may have courtesy borrowing privileges by completing a Community Borrower application form.
Community Borrower cards are issued for 12 months. Please allow two weeks for processing if submitting by mail. On-site applications may be submitted at the Main Stacks (3rd floor) Monday-Friday, 8:30am-5:00pm. If you wish to renew, please contact the library two weeks prior to expiration to renew and submit payment.
Courtesy borrowers such as Stony Brook Alumni, Community Borrowers, and affiliates (e.g. BNL, OLLI, Southampton Hospital staff) may take out up to 25 items at a time for a period of 60 days with a 30 day renewal.
The form and the $60 annual fee can be brought or mailed to:
