Library Access for Johns Hopkins Affiliates
Affiliates include:
- Enrolled students at any JH school
- JH staff and faculty
JH affiliates must use their J-card (mobile device card or physical card) to pass the security turnstiles. If unable to swipe through security turnstiles, a government-issued ID may be used instead.
Non-Affiliate Library Access
Individuals who are not considered JHU affiliates include:
- Alumni
- Students from other schools who are not enrolled at Johns Hopkins or the Peabody Conservatory
- Contractors
- Parents of enrolled students
- The general public
All non-affiliate visitors must show a government photo ID (e.g., driver’s license or passport) to enter. Public hours end at 10pm, or when the library closes (if earlier).
