We do not lend out multimedia materials to other CUNY campuses. They must present a current, valid ID card from their home campus with a library barcode from their home library. As well, J-School students, faculty and staff may use their current, validated J-School ID with a library barcode, to borrow books from other CUNY libraries.

CUNY-Wide Courtesy Book Return

Under a CUNY-wide courtesy book return agreement, books borrowed from one CUNY library may be returned to any other CUNY library. The books are then shipped to their home library via an intercampus delivery system.
