Summer School students carrying a valid Harvard University ID card have access to many Harvard libraries and museums.  

Library Privileges 

Students must present a valid Harvard University ID card for admission to most Harvard libraries and to enter the bookstacks and borrow books in those libraries. Questions about library privileges should be directed to the library privileges desk in Widener Library or to the circulation services desks at other Harvard libraries. 

Students who wish to access electronic resources available on the Harvard Online Library Information System (HOLLIS) from a nonlibrary computer need a HarvardKey to do so. (See Online Resources and Logins). 

Students are subject to the lending policies of the libraries. No book may be removed from any library without authorization. Mutilation, defacement, or abuse of any library book or library resource is forbidden. Transcripts will not be issued to third parties for students who fail to return library materials or fail to settle their library accounts by the end of their summer session(s). Harvard libraries charge borrowers overdue fees when a book borrowed by a Summer School student is not returned on or before its due date. See Computer, Network, and Library Use for library rules and regulations.
