The library card for faculty, students, and staff is your University ID card. Please report any lost or stolen cards to IT Helpdesk (Glynn Annex) for replacement. If you change your address or phone number, please contact us to update your account. The telephone number of the Circulation Desk is (716) 286-8020.
The first time you use your card for borrowing in the Library, you may need to provide basic demographic information such as address, phone number, and email. You will also need to create a four (4) digit PIN to access your account online. You will need this PIN to renew books and place holds for material.

We are an Empire State AcademicShare library. Therefore, AcademicSHARE Member libraries minimally agree to allow on-site access and lend materials to any current college student, staff, and/or faculty member from another Empire State AcademicShare member academic library. However, at minimum, a verifiable valid college I.D. is required. The library may choose to treat the college I.D. as confirmation the student/faculty member is in good standing. Other proof of identification or status may be required.
In addition, all Western New York Library Resources Council AcademicSHARE Members agree to provide on-site access to resources to all current InfoPass cardholders or individuals who present an AcademicSHARE Pass. Safety restrictions and borrowing privileges will vary by institution; please contact the individual library for more information.
For Niagara University Community members (faculty, staff, or students):
Alumni and Courtesy Card members should contact the Library at (716) 286-8020 to have their cards deactivated. You will need to visit the library with your photo ID to receive a new Courtesy Card.
