Yes, Ellis Library is open to the public.  Anyone in the community is free to come and use our collection on site, and we issue guest accounts for computer use at the Checkout and Information Desk.  With a guest account, non-affiliated members of the public have access to our databases for up to 2 hours a day. If you are interested in obtaining a guest account please stop by the Checkout and Information Desk on the first floor.

If you would like to create a library account to check out materials, please see this visitor borrowing guide to determine if you qualify for a courtesy card or if you should apply for a Friends of the Library Borrowing Card.
