This serene old library overlooking Central Park contains an extensive modern medical collection of monographs and journals. This is the only medical library in New York that is open to the public. Card catalogs are still being used for part of the collection. If any of the Metro member libraries has an item that John Jay does not own, that you wish to consult, John Jay reference librarians can give you a yellow Metro card that entitles you to visit that library. If you plan on being a more frequent visitor to any of these libraries, it is more appropriate to make arrangements directly with that library.
Many libraries grant visiting privileges on payment of a small fee.
