Congratulations, Class of 2026 grads! The degree is just the beginning of your journey. Now is your time to be an unstoppable Force for whatever comes next! 🎓✨🎉
The library is here and open all summer with our summer 2026 schedule starting tomorrow! We will be open Monday - Thursday 8am-7pm and Friday 8am-4pm. We will be closed on weekends throughout the summer and as always, be sure to check for changes around holidays! Stop in for your museum passes, vacation reads, or DVD binges!
The end of the year is a bag of mixed emotions; we love seeing our students get to go off and pursue their dreams but we hate having to say goodbye. This year we have ten graduating student employees and, as is our tradition, we asked them to pick a book meaningful to them to be dedicated in their honor in our collection. Congratulations, Class of '26! You will be missed!
Take a break from studying and join us on Thursday, April 30, for Reading Day Relief & Crafternoon activities! Stop by for free snacks, fun crafts, games, and other ways to unwind.

Happy Earth Day! To celebrate, the Bentley Library partnered with the BSLCE and Collins Creative Corner to encourage the Bentley Community to make, look at, and read about eco-art and sustainable design and the way artists, designers, and architects take inspiration from studying nature to build environmental awareness. Stop by the library through May 21 to check out the books on the “Earth Day: Eco-Art, Architecture, and Design for Change” display, and visit our blog to learn more and for a link to the online collection.
