To celebrate Women's History Month, we invited the Center for Women and Business to share their must-read favorites. They came through with fantastic suggestions—presenting this year’s CWB Staff Picks!
Take a breather from midterms and join us this Wednesday for a relaxed, hands on crafting session about stitching, embroidering, and embellishing—all things letters, especially creating your own letter B!
We’ll have plenty of supplies and guidance on hand. Just bring your creativity! Whether you enjoy cross stitching, knitting, crocheting, weaving, sewing, or exploring any other fiber arts, this is a perfect chance to share your skills or try something new.
New to crafting? Come observe, ask questions, and get inspired in a friendly, no-pressure environment.

The Bentley University Library is excited to launch an Open Educational Resources (OER) web series for faculty and staff during the month of March.
The OER web series consists of three parts, each lasting for approximately 30-45 minutes. These sessions will be conducted live on Zoom, allowing participants to engage in real-time discussions and ask questions. However, if you are unable to attend any of the live sessions, don't worry! Recordings of each session will be made available to all registered participants, ensuring that you won't miss out on any valuable content.
The 17th annual Best Books display has arrived! Our display features more than 300 titles published in 2025 that have appeared on 18 year-end best books lists*, covering a broad selection of fiction and nonfiction across subjects and genres. Some of these books are bestsellers that you'll surely recognize, while others are critically acclaimed works that may have received less publicity or escaped your attention.
Join us on Wednesday, February 4, for Hearts & Yarns, a relaxed, creative drop-in crafting session with a heart themed twist!
We’ll provide the supplies and guidance—just bring your imagination! Whether you knit, crochet, weave, sew, or dabble in other fiber arts, this is a great chance to share your skills or learn something new.
