Do VCU alumni have access to checking out books? I read through the different patron types but I do not believe I fit in any of the categories anymore. I graduated from VCU 2 years ago and am now doing graduate work through a different school. I am currently living back in Richmond and am working on my thesis and wanted to see if there was anyway I could use Cabell Library's resources. Thank you for your help!
