In the Know @ the Bentley Library

Sunday September 22nd marks the start of Banned Books Week 2024! This annual event brings awareness to library censorship happening around the country.

RSM Art Gallery is pleased to announce that Multiversed, featuring artists Jameel Radcliffe, Rebecca Greene, and Nygel Jones, will be on view beginning September 20, 2024.  To celebrate, the gallery is hosting an artist talk and opening reception on Friday, September 27, 5:00-7:00 p.m.  We hope to see you there!

Collaboration is a creativity multiplier for artists and designers, allowing them to innovate and push the boundaries of artistic expression.

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
