Fuller Library > Circulation > Access Policies

Covid-19 Update:

Please note that the Hubbard Library is presently only providing physical services to current students, faculty, and staff. Book checkouts are now available within the library (masks still required). These circulation services are presently available according to our amended policies regarding patron status and renewals. Library material due dates will be back in effect starting April 30th, although fines will still not be issued. You can read the latest announcements on library policy updates here.

The Fuller Community

The David Allan Hubbard Library exists to serve the information and research needs of Fuller Theological Seminary and the broader graduate theological academic community. The Fuller Library is a private library only for the use of Fuller students, faculty, staff, other members of the immediate Fuller community, and authorized library-card holders (see below).

Members of Consortia Institutions

The library belongs to several library consortia. This is the preferred manner through which members of other graduate institutions can gain access to the library. Please inquire with your institution’s librarian about consortia membership and reciprocal borrowing participation. These consortia are the Southern California Theological Library Association (SCATLA), ATLA, and the Statewide California Electronic Library Consortium (SCELC).
