In the Know @ the Bentley Library

Welcome back from spring break! As you head into the second half of the semester, we want to ask for your cooperation in making the library a conducive environment for all. We have been delighted to see the library being utilized by so many students this semester; however, we have observed an increase in noise levels and have fielded a few complaints and questions about study space policies.

Here are some reminders and tips about how to get the most from your visit to the library while remaining respectful of your fellow Falcons: 

Need a study break or a relaxing night with friends?

The library’s Nintendo Switch consoles and games are available for you to borrow! Our Switch Kits come with everything you need to connect to your TV or play on the go. We even have extra controllers to borrow for multiplayer games!  

The Bentley University Archives is proud to present Leading & Learning: A Century of Women at Bentley, an exhibit of photographs and documents curated from the University Archives, exploring over one hundred years of women’s activities and achievements throughout the course of Bentley’s history.
