Smith College affiliates including alumnae and spouses, partners and dependents of Smith employees may use their Smith OneCard to borrow materials. High school students and auditors enrolled in a Smith course and Learning in Retirement students may stop by the Neilson Library service desk to obtain a Smith Library card.

Area Residents of Hampshire, Hampden and Franklin Counties, 18 years or older, may purchase limited borrowing privileges from the Smith College Libraries.
