The Samuel J. Wood Library

If after graduation or retirement you live close to WCM, please come in to the Samuel J. Wood Library!  You will be able to access the library resources (physical and electronic) on-site.

• Alumni of the Medical College must show an alumni card from the Office of Alumni Relations for access to the Library.
• Alumni of the Graduate School must present a letter of verification from the Graduate School Office. A separate library card will be issued to eligible alumni at that time.
• Members of the Center Alumni Council must show a current membership card.
• Retirees must have a valid ID Card issued by WCM or NYP Human Resources Dept.

Check our e-Resources A-Z listing for the resources that are available to you while on-site at the Wood Library. For more information on library services for WCM alumni and retirees, visit our web page on Alumni and Retiree Services.
