Guests are welcome to visit and use common areas in the library; to browse and read library collections on site; and to consult the library’s electronic resources on site. College policy requires visitors who request library computer use or Internet access to get a “guest log-in.” Please ask at the Circulation Desk. Those seeking to borrow materials from MCLA but ineligible for borrowing privileges are encouraged to contact their local library’s Interlibrary Loan department. Massachusetts residents may also be able to borrow MCLA materials via Commonwealth Catalog.

You may be eligible for an MCLA community borrower card. Residents of Berkshire County ages 18+, MCLA alumni, and current Williams College faculty, staff, and students may apply for a community borrower card by visiting the MCLA library during regular business hours (M-F, 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m). Please see our community borrower policy for more information.
