Library Privileges for Users

Non-affiliated individuals may apply for library privileges in-person at any UC Davis Library location (excluding the Mabie Law Library). Individuals must present a current government-issued photo ID and verification of status or payment when registering. For fee-based library accounts, payment is due at the time of issuance or renewal. The UC Davis Library accepts payments by check (payable to “UC Regents”) or exact-cash only. Library locations are unable to make change.
