Retiree Information - Libraries

A campus path under a clear blue sky, lined with vibrant red and green autumn trees, leading toward a tall brick clock tower in the distance as students walk by.

You are very welcome to use the Libraries. You can:

Check out books. Please bring your Purdue ID. If you do not have a PUID as a retiree, you will want to visit the Purdue ID office.
