Honoring Sexual Assault Awareness Through Literature

The Bentley Library is excited to present the newest edition of Bentley Library by the Numbers! This infographic highlights some of the most fascinating insights into library usage, including study room reservations, peak times at the Reference Desk, and the number of visitors to the 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?
