In the Know @ the Bentley Library

Dear Bentley community,

We are celebrating Pride Month with a display of recently received books that highlight LGBTQ+ history, experiences, stories, and authors. This collection includes more than fifty noteworthy and award-winning works—fiction, memoirs, short stories, graphic novels, and nonfiction—published within the past two years. 

The library will be closed Monday, May 26, in observance of the Memorial Day holiday. Regular summer session hours resume at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, May 27. View the online calendar for complete hours information.

Hey everyone! Ready for a summer reading adventure? The Big Library Read is back, and this time, we're diving into Uncommon Measure by Natalie Hodges from May 15-29.

As another academic year comes to a close, we find ourselves saying farewell to some of our beloved student employees. While we are excited for them to embark on new and exciting journeys, we can’t help but feel a deep sense of gratitude for all they’ve contributed to our library. Their hard work and dedication have been instrumental in keeping our doors open and ensuring the highest level of service. 

The library's summer schedule will be in effect starting May 10. We will resume our normal hours of operation when fall classes begin on Tuesday, September 2.

Bentley Library is thrilled to announce the arrival of a new addition to our campus—the Little Free Library (LFL) at the WellNest in Copley North! This charming little library is designed to resemble the Bentley Library, complete with its recognizable clock tower, bringing a touch of our library's beauty to this new student space.
