LIBRARY SERVICES FOR BRYANT ALUMNI
ALUMNI CARD
Bryant alumni wishing to use the Douglas and Judith Krupp Library need to obtain an Alumni Card from the Bryant University Alumni Office. To obtain an alumni card, call the Office of Alumni Relations at 401-232-6040 or e-mail the office at:alumni@bryant.edu. The alumni card is issued at no cost to anyone who has been awarded a degree from Bryant University.
Once an Alumni Card has been acquired, you must fill out a library application at the Douglas and Judith Krupp Library Circulation Desk. The barcode number for your alumni card will be issued at this time. Your Alumni Card can be activated at any time the library is open. (library hours)
PRINT BOOKS
With an alumni card, alumni can check out books from Bryant's circulating collections. Books in the main circulating collection can be checked out for 4 weeks. Leisure reading items (MCN collection) are available for a two week loan period.
Also, please note that RI residents can borrow books from local public libraries and the University of Rhode Island: "All Rhode Island residents who are at least 18 years of age with proof of Rhode Island residency; ... are considered Special Borrowers. They are welcome to use the URI Libraries for all services, EXCEPT Interlibrary and HELIN loans from non-URI locations."
