Comprised of the College Archives, Mortimer Rare Book, and Sophia Smith Collections.

As a Smith staff member, you have access to numerous newspapers and magazines. Learn how you can create a New York Times account, browse local news, or flip through your favorite magazines.

Staff are able to borrow books from Smith Libraries, in addition to the collections of the Five Colleges. Learn about the self check-out kiosks and app!

Here at Smith, and the rest of the Five Colleges, overdue fines have been eliminated! This was done in the hopes of removing barriers to access.

While you won't accrue fines over time, a fine of about $85 will be billed to your account if the book is over 28 days overdue. However, the average bill of $85 is completely cleared if the item is renewed or returned before it has been replaced!!

If you ever have a question about a fine or billing in general, you are always welcome to reach out to librarybilling@smith.edu where you will reach a librarian who is here to help you!

ScholarWorks is our open access institutional repository providing scholarly and creative content by Smith College faculty, students, and staff (student work may be restricted to the Smith community).
