Access to the Library: Alumni/Alumnae

This guide provides information on access to the Brooklyn College Library for alumni/ae, friends, and the wider community of patrons.

Library Information for Graduates/Alumni

Brooklyn College alumni can show their Alumni Association ID card to visit the Library and use Library resources on-site at the Library. 
Alumni/ae may secure an Alumni card from the Brooklyn College Office of Alumni Engagement, 1239 Ingersoll, (718) 951-5065.
 

Important: Due to agreements with our vendors, remote access to Brooklyn College Library's electronic resources (e.g., databases, ebooks) is not available.

However, you can still access e-resources from home! Many public libraries offer extensive collections of e-books, journals, and other materials. Simply visit the website of your local public library and search for their online resources. You will need a library card to access their e-resources, but most public libraries allow you to obtain your card online. 

If you are still in New York, be aware that we have three library systems: Brooklyn Public LibraryNew York Public Library, and the Queens Public Library.
