In the Know @ the Bentley Library

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 a few important tips and reminders.  

We highly recommend that you don't wait to get connected to the Falcon Printing network and download the study room app so you'll be ready when you need them!

How to Book a Study Room:

Start the semester off with a visit to RSM Art Gallery! All are invited to a closing reception for Pareidoliac Grotesques by Ellen Wetmore on Thursday, September 5, from 5:00–7:00 p.m.  Drop in to meet the artist and view the exhibit before it closes. 

In observance of Labor Day, the library will be closed Saturday, August 31 through Monday, September 2. We will start our regular fall semester hours at 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday, September 3. For more information about library, research help, café, and IT Help Desk hours, please view the online hours calendar.

Welcome, new Falcons!

A frequently asked question at the library is "do you have my textbooks"? The answer is, "maybe".

Although the Bentley Library does not purchase textbooks, it is worth checking to see if (1) your professor has placed a copy of the textbook on reserve at the library or (2) your textbook happens to be in the library's regular book collection.

(1) Check Course Reserves

We will be closed nights and weekends while classes are not in session - Tuesday, August 20 through Sunday, September 1.  We will also be closed on Monday, September 2 in observance of Labor Day. Regular semester hours will resume with the start of fall classes on Tuesday, September 3.
