Throughout final exams period the library modifies our hours on most days to open earlier and close later than normal. This semester extended study hours will begin on Wednesday, April 30.

The library will open early at 7:00 a.m. on all weekdays and stay open until 2:00 a.m. with the exception of Friday and Saturday when we will close at 9:00 p.m.

The library will be closed on Saturday, April 26, to accommodate the Spring Day concert being held on the Library Quad. No access to the building will be permitted and library services will not be available. The IT Help Desk will be providing remote support from 8:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m. on Saturday – visit their website for contact information.  

Bentley Library is thrilled to announce the arrival of a new addition to our campus—the Little Free Library (LFL) at the WellNest in Copley North! This charming little library is designed to resemble the Bentley Library, complete with its recognizable clock tower, bringing a touch of our library's beauty to this new student space.

April is National Poetry Month, and with Earth Day approaching on April 22nd, our library is excited to celebrate both events with a special pop-up display featuring a collection of nature poems.

We are excited to announce the arrival of a HUSH Pod to Bentley Library. This pod will be available for students and staff to use, explore, and test out. It is a single occupancy soundproof space that will allow you to take a hybrid class, conduct a zoom interview or appointment, or even just step away from the din of the building. 

How can art be a part of healing? This question is at the core of Sheila Gallagher’s exhibition, Vōtīvus. All are invited to the RSM Art Gallery for an opening reception for the exhibit on Thursday, April 10, 5:00-7:00pm. We hope to see you there!
