In January a new entrance turnstile system and a Welcome Desk staffed by the University of Delaware Police Department was installed in the Morris Library.

UD students, faculty and staff, and those who have already registered for and received a Library Frequent Visitor Card, hold their ONEcards to the card readers at the turnstiles to lower them and enter the library.

For those who do not have a UD ONEcard, state-issued photo ID like a driver’s license, or government-issued or school-issued identification will be needed to enter the Morris Library.

Visitors under 16 years of age need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian with photo identification in order to sign in at the Welcome Desk and enter the Morris Library.

Frequent visitors to the Morris Library who are 18 years of age or older and who do not have a ONEcard may visit the Circulation and Reserve desk to register and have their photo taken for a free Library Frequent Visitor card. Once received, this ID can then be held to the card reader at the turnstiles for easy access to the building.
