Community memberships

• Members of the community must purchase a library borrowing card in order to borrow items from the Library.
• Cost: $100 for 6 months or $200 for 12 months

Note: Purchasing a borrowing card does not provide remote access to the Library’s electronic resources, nor does it give you access to all Library services and resources.

To purchase a membership:

1. Complete the McGill Library Borrowing Card Application Form.
2. Visit any Loans Desk at any branch except the Birks Reading Room, the Edward Rosenthall Mathematics and Statistics Library, the Islamic Studies Library, and the Geographic Information Centre.
   • All major credit cards and Interac are accepted. Cheques are only accepted at the Office of the Dean of Libraries.
   • Bring a photo ID & proof of address.

Once your application has been processed, you will be provided with a library card that you can use to borrow items.
