The library serves as the intellectual and creative center of academic life at Brooklyn College. Each day between three and four thousand students and faculty enter the library to use the online catalog, ask a reference question, borrow a book, listen to a sonata, examine a manuscript, or explore the Internet. As one of the largest and most technologically advanced academic libraries in New York State, the Brooklyn College Library leads the way in information access and dissemination in Brooklyn, the City University of New York, and beyond. The recent $73 million renovation of the library houses our substantial physical and digital collections, the Brooklyn College archives, and a new media center. The library boasts 277,650 square feet (6.5 acres) of space; 2,317 student seats; 21.5 miles of shelving; 22 group study rooms; 5 computer classrooms; and more than 400 computers for student and faculty use. The faculty and staff of the Brooklyn College Library support the academic work of the College's students and faculty and their freedom of inquiry. Our commitment is reflected in the care with which we build and preserve our physical and digital collections, provide students and faculty with information literacy and research instruction, facilitate interlibrary loan and document supply; and link faculty and students to global information resources through the library's pages on the Brooklyn College Web site. A safe, inviting study and research environment, the library is tailored to suit the Brooklyn College community and is responsive to the needs of persons with disabilities. As a member of the community, the library is proud to preserve the cultural heritage of the College and the borough in its special collections. A rich program of cultural events, presented in the Brooklyn College Library Woody Tanger Auditorium, rounds out our offerings.
