Friends of High Library


The resources of the High Library are available for use by visitors in the building.  The collection includes general circulating materials, reference items, current and archival periodicals, databases, microforms, CDs, videos and DVDs.  The library also houses Church of the Brethren and Elizabethtown College’s archives.

All of the library’s collections are available for guests in the library.  If you would like to check out library materials, we invite you to become a Friend of the High Library.  For an annual $20. membership fee, you can check out the library’s circulating materials and have in-house access to other library resources.

To get a membership card, present your current driver’s license at the library circulation desk, along with cash or check (payable to ‘Elizabethtown College’).   The membership will begin immediately and continues for one year from date of issue.  Cards can be issued to high school students who are 16 and older.

Guests and Friends of the High Library have limited access to the library computers but can have access to College’s wireless network. Information on connecting to the wireless network is available at the circulation desk.
