John Gray Park '28 Library - Community Use

John Gray Park Library – Use by the Larger Community

The primary goal of the John Gray Park Library is to support the mission of the School.  As such, our resources are focused on the students and teachers at Kent.  We recognize that our institutional resources may benefit the larger community as well and we make them available in a number of ways including the Connecticut Interlibrary Loan System at your local library.  We urge community members to take advantage of their local library resources and through them our resources via Interlibrary Loan.

If you would like to visit our library on campus, please use this form to contact the library for an appointment or call (860) 927-6200.  The general guidelines for use are:

• Use of the John Gray Park Library is at the discretion of and contingent upon availability of library staff.
• Use will be scheduled in advance and outside of the School’s highest-use academic times.
• Under certain circumstances, the library may set up an account for a “community patron.”  The account requires appropriate contact and identifying information and is subject to our standard loan procedures.
• Community patrons may not check out titles newly acquired by the library or other materials the library staff believe to be important to retain on campus.
• All decisions with regard to the use of the library and its resources are at the sole discretion of the library staff.

Once again we urge you to take advantage of the resources of the public library system, as the majority of the materials available to you on campus are also available through the CT Interlibrary Loan system.
