Community Patron Membership 

Beginning January 2nd, 2017 the Sr. Helen Sheehan library is proud to offer a Community Patron Membership for residents in the Brookland/Edgewood communities, generally in the 20017 zip code. This membership allows constituents of the greater Trinity Washington University community to utilize the resources of the University’s library. With this free membership, community patrons will gain access to the library’s physical space and all the amenities that come with it. Community patrons will enjoy access to computers, high quality information via Trinity’s scholarly databases, and quiet study spaces.  Community patrons may peruse the library’s collection of books and periodicals at the library, but may not borrow books from the library.  Community patrons may also utilize printing services at 10 cents a page. To gain access, candidate community members will simply need to register for the program, obtain a Trinity ID (member card), and they will be able to seamlessly come and go from the library as they please. Policies and library information are below.
