In the Know @ the Bentley Library

Extended study hours for final exams will begin on Monday, December 9 (the day before Reading Day). The library will open at 7:00 a.m. on all weekdays during exam period and stay open until 2:00 a.m. (excluding Friday & Saturday when we will be closing at 9:00 p.m.). 

Additionally, the library’s classroom on the lower level (room 11) will be open throughout exams as a bonus quiet study space to accommodate more students. We expect the library to be busy during exams—please be respectful of those studying around you.   

Check out these Reading Day Relief events at the library! Starting at 11:00am on Tuesday you can enjoy drinks and snacks and make a fun winter decoration using upcycled magazine paper with the curator of the RSM Art Gallery. Then, pop in to our friendship bracelet, button making, and crochet activities. We're closing out Reading Day with our first-ever board game night, co-sponsored by the Bentley Association of Board & Tabletop Games (BABT). Please stop in to as many as you can.

Bentley Library will close for Thanksgiving Break at 10:00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 26. The building will reopen and library services will resume on Sunday, December 1, at 1:00 p.m.

November is Native American Heritage Month and what better way to celebrate than by diving into new books by Indigenous authors? We're highlighting 10 new titles we recently added to our collection, and if you'd like to browse further we've curated an Indigenous Voices collection of over 100 books to explore. Whether you’re looking for novels, short stories, histories, memoirs, or poetry, we're certain you'll find something to enjoy.

Daylight saving time is over which means the average time of sunset is before 5:00pm. Don’t let the dark stop you from a productive study session and borrow a light therapy lamp to use for 2 hours while studying in the library! It will be like you are sitting by a sunny window.

In collaboration with the Bentley Library, the Bentley Investment Group (BIG) curated a Libby/Overdrive collection of 25 recommended business, economics, investment, and finance books. Use the OverDrive website or the Libby app to start browsing, downloading, and saving their picks now.
