In the Know @ the Bentley Library

“Double, double toil and trouble. Fire burn and cauldron bubble.”
– William Shakespeare, Macbeth

October and Halloween whisper a promise of thrills and chills. It’s that magical time of year when shadows lengthen, pumpkins grin from every porch, and our imaginations run wild. Whether you’re conjuring nail-biting stories around a campfire, curling up under a blanket with a psychological thriller as the dark sky looms overhead, or dimming the lights to watch a horror flick by candlelight, the season calls us to lean into the unknown.

Bentley University Library is surveying students to understand your experiences and thoughts on textbook costs and access to affordable materials.

Celebrate the season with cozy creativity! Join us for a relaxed yarn crafting session where you can make pumpkins, leaves, vines, or anything that captures the spirit of Fall.

Welcome back, Falcons! We hope you had a great summer and are ready for a new academic year. We want to help you be prepared, so here are six things we'd like you to know as you start the semester. We highly recommend that you don't wait to:

1. Get Connected to the Printers

Bentley faculty research takes many forms: art and articles, essays and editing, and of course, books.

In observance of Labor Day, the library will be closed Saturday, August 30 through Monday, September 1. We will start our regular fall semester hours at 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday, September 2. For more information about library, research help, café, and IT Help Desk hours, please view the online hours calendar.

Welcome to all the new graduate and undergraduate students arriving to campus this week! We are excited to meet you and want you to feel at home at the Bentley Library. 

We know that orientation week is packed with activities, but please stop in when you have time. You'll find a new student welcome table in our lobby stocked with important information about the library (including printing and study rooms) and giveaways.  Library staff are on-hand to answer any questions you have.  

As many of you have known, our online museum pass reservation system was down as we searched for a new vendor. After many months, we are excited to announce that we have found and implemented a new system!
