The Bentley Library is pleased to share the latest version of Bentley Library by the Numbers!

In order to accommodate our staff, the library will be opening at noon on Sunday April 9th. We greatly appreciate your understanding.

Make a short stop by the main floor of the library to explore a popup display of all things baseball.

“Poetry survives because it haunts and it haunts because it is simultaneously utterly clear and deeply mysterious; because it cannot be entirely accounted for, it cannot be exhausted.”
― Louise Glück

March is Women’s History Month! While the very first International Women’s Day dates back to 1911, the designation of a full Women’s History Month didn’t happen until 1987 after being petitioned to Congress by the National Women’s History Project, an advocacy group based out of California.

Bentley Library will close at 12:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 14, 2023. 

Due to the storm, Bentley University has announced that administrative offices will close at 12:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 14. Weather permitting, the Bentley Library will open at 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday, March 15. 

Spending time at the library may not be at the top of your "fun things to do during Spring Break" list, but we'll be here if you need us! Drop in to borrow books and movies, pick up a museum pass, or simply to enjoy the quiet. Be sure to check our modified hours to ensure we're open before visiting.
