Columbia University alumni and Friends of the Columbia Libraries are welcome to visit one or more of the libraries on the Columbia campus. Visitors must first register with the Library Information Office at Butler Library.
 
Graduates of Columbia University have lifetime reading privileges and may apply for borrowing privileges for a small monthly fee ($30 per month). Additional information about securing library privileges can be found at the Library Information Office at Butler Library.
 
Friends of the Columbia Libraries who are not Columbia University alumni are offered reading and borrowing privileges based on their membership category. For additional information about securing privileges, please to the Becoming a Friend page.
