The Phillip Capozzi, M.D. Library of New York Medical College is located in the Basic Sciences Building (BSB) on the Valhalla, New York campus. A branch library is located on the ground floor of the Skyline Building.
The BSB library facility is open for use 24/7.* The Skyline Library facility is open all hours the building is open. Please refer to the library calendar page for up-to-date information on specific library service hours and holiday closures.
All NYMC faculty, students, employees have full onsite access to the Capozzi Library with their NYMC ID card -- after service hours with scannable ID access.
Resident and fellow access is by appointment only and only during library service hours. If you have an appointment, upon arrival please stop at the Public Safety Desk to be escorted to the library. Check in at the library's Access Services desk with the name of the person with whom you have an appointment. Picking up a poster that has been printed for you also constitutes an appointment. (Note that this is a procedural change as of 2/15/24).
A library barcode is required to check out physical materials. All valid users (students, faculty, employees, residents, or fellows) can obtain a library barcode in the library during service hours at the Access Services desk. Acceptance of a barcode assumes users understand and accept the terms of use, including timely return of materials and payment of fines and fees (see below)

Remediation
* A $30.00 administrative fee will be assessed once a book is considered “lost” by our system. At that point the borrower will be invoiced for the replacement cost of the book plus the administrative fee. If the book is returned the borrower will pay accrued overdue fines (up to maximum above) plus the $30 administrative fee. If the book is lost, the borrower will pay the cost of the book plus the $30.00 administrative fee.
The library strives to create an environment which is clean and suitable for study. All library users are expected to respect the needs of their fellow students and abide by rules dictating behavior in the library. Additionally, all users need to respect the study environment in the library and leave the space in the same condition that they found it.
Eating produces not only mess but creates noises and smells that those seeking a study environment find objectionable. For these reasons, eating food in the library is not permitted. Hot and cold beverages are permitted only in spill resistant containers with lids. Bottle with screw lids are acceptable if the cap is replaced.
Exceptions to the food policy may be made for special events and must be approved in advance by the library director.
Please respect the needs of your fellow students. The library is recognized as a space that one can expect quiet. Any noise should be minimized. The study rooms and classrooms are not sound proof, so please act accordingly.
