Q. Do I need to be an ASU student to use the library? (Visitor Information)
Answer
Public visitors are welcome at any of our eight locations on the four ASU campuses. Hours of operation vary depending on the library and the time of year (library locations and find contact information). While you are in the library, you may connect your devices to the ASU Guest wireless network.
The ASU Library is open to the public and home to our research collections, open stack collections at every library, and a variety of units and centers designed to engage learning and collaboration for all. Community Borrowing Cards are available for purchase for non-ASU affiliated library users, which provides borrowing privileges for most items from the open stacks collections. In addition, the ASU Library houses a rich collection of rare, unique and distinctive materials. Get started by speaking with our experts at Ask an Archivist.
Please note, building access to our Downtown Phoenix campus Library is limited to current ASU students, staff and faculty with active Sun Cards. Members of the public and Community Borrowers should call 602-496-0300 to arrange a visit.
More information can be found on the Services for Visitors web page.
