Penn State Students, Faculty and Staff:
Members of the Penn State community may register with the Libraries by presenting a valid Penn State ID and completing a registration card at any Lending Desk. Please note that a signed registration card must be completed before exercising your library privileges.

New! Electronic Registration - new students, faculty and staff may register with the libraries electronically. Electronic registration is a two-part process:

  1. Pick up your PSU Access Account at any ITS Signature Station. Your electronic signature indicates your agreement with all Libraries' policies.
  2. Complete your registration online by updating your address information and status with the Libraries. Approximately 24 hours after you retrieve your PSU Access Account, you will receive an email from the Libraries containing a link to a webpage that will allow you to complete your library registration.

Pennsylvania Residents:
Residents of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania who are not directly affiliated with the University may register with the Libraries by presenting a picture ID with proof of residency (Pennsylvania Driver's License or Pennsylvania ID card), proof of current address, and by completing a registration card at any lending desk. There is a $1 privilege fee for issuance of the initial Lion card and a charge of $5 for any subsequent lost cards.

All Registered Patrons may update their address online at My Library Account or at any lending desk.
