Mary Baldwin provides an academic library for the use of its students, faculty, and staff. In keeping with the University commitment to the Staunton/Augusta area, community residents are welcome to visit and to use designated library materials in accordance with library policies. Mary Baldwin reserves the right to restrict any individual from entering Grafton Library or from using any of its materials, equipment, facilities, or services.
A library account is $25 per year for community residents over the age of 18 who live in Staunton, Waynesboro or Augusta County. To apply, you must present a photo ID showing your current address and pay the application fee.
A library account is required to borrow materials from the library’s general collection. Community borrowers may use designated workstations to search the library’s online catalog; however, other online resources are restricted to Mary Baldwin faculty, staff and students.
