No, anyone can use the library. However, if you are not ASU staff, faculty or a currently enrolled student and would like to check out books, you will need to purchase a Community Card from the Circulation Desk. To find out more about Community Cards, visit the Circulation Desk across from the Hayden Library main entrance, or phone Circulation at 965-3605. Community Cards must be applied for in person. The ASU Libraries' Interlibrary Loan services are only available to ASU staff, faculty and currently enrolled students.
Interlibrary loan is available to the non-university community through local public libraries.
However, email accounts cannot be accessed in the library. Fifty minute orientation classes are held at various times throughout the school year. These free classes provide a general introduction to using library resources such as the online catalog and electronic journal indexes. A printed self-guided tour is also available at the library. ASU instructors can request subject-specific instruction for their classes from the Hayden Library's subject specialists.
