Hello,

We are part of the Southern California Theological Library Association (SCATLA), the American Theological Library Association, and the Statewide California Electronic Library Consortium. These organizations have reciprocal borrowing programs with some member institutions. 

You might want to check if your seminary is part of these associations, and if they participate in any reciprocal borrowing program. If so, bring any necessary documentation (e.g. application forms and ID) to the front desk at the Fuller Library and our service staff will help you establish a library account. 

We also allow local clergy with a valid pastors license or other evidence of institutional affiliation to establish clergy accounts for (limited) borrowing privileges at the Fuller library. 

If neither of these conditions apply to you, please feel free to visit and request an Entrance Application at Fuller library's front circulation desk. You will not be able to use the library on this initial visit, but a response to your application will be returned in 5 to 7 business days. You may also email an entrance request to lib-info@fuller.edu, where you will be asked to fill out an application form. Applications will only be accepted by those conducting graduate level research in the areas of theology, missions, or psychology. 

An overview of all of our access policies can be viewed here. If you have any specific additional questions please email us at lib-info@fuller.edu or call the circulation desk at 626.584.5618.
