In the Know @ the Bentley Library

Book Talk titles available now at the Bentley Library. These titles will be discussed during the upcoming Bentley Community Learning Conference (Tuesday July 23rd & Wednesday July 24th). 

At the end of every academic year we tabulate the library’s most popular books, audiobooks, DVDs, and OverDrive downloadable ebooks and audiobooks based on the number of times they have been borrowed (excluding items placed on reserve for a class). These are our very own "Bentley Bestsellers" lists!

Looking for something new to read, watch, or listen to? Our new acquisitions lists are a great place to start browsing!

We added 176 new books, DVDs, and audiobooks to the library's collections in May. Go to the New Books & DVDs page to browse the new arrivals by subject or format. When you see something you want, click the “Request” button to place a hold on it.

During exams period they work overnight to provide the 24-hour library access Bentley students desire.
