Most Penn libraries are open to the public (with a valid photo ID) on weekdays until 6pm.

On evenings and weekends, students with a valid photo ID from Drexel, Bryn Mawr, Haverford, Swarthmore, St. Joseph's or Villanova, a BorrowDirect Plus Partner, or a SHARES partner (including Temple, Princeton, and Penn State), may access many Penn Libraries spaces. Please see visitor access policies for individual libraries for more details.
