After Hours Service is offered on a calendar year subscription basis. Each attorney must maintain his or her own individual subscription.
New subscribers may renew (with an existing keyfob) for $100 or sign up for new access for $108.

Apply for After Hours access
Applications take at least one business day to process. Persons submitting applications on a Friday may not be able to start using the service until the following Monday evening. Each new subscriber must come to the library during regular hours (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday) to pick up the key fob and go through a brief After Hours Service orientation.
By signing up, subscribers indicate that they understand that this After Hours registration is for themselves only; no other person(s) may use their keytag to enter the library. Subscribers also agree that while using the library after hours, they are subject to all library rules and regulations in effect during regular library hours. Failure to adhere to them will result in immediate termination of the after hours access subscription.
