Manhattanville College Library
The Manhattanville College Library is more than a place to study. It’s where all students go, on campus or online, to achieve academic success. Friendly people are ready to help with assignments in every subject. The Library is open 24/5 when fall and spring classes are in session. Wi-Fi and coffee are easy to find. Students make constant use of library computers, printers, copiers and scanners. There are rooms for working in groups, video viewing facilities, and a bustling crossroads at the center of campus to meet fellow students and professors. The library is also an important refuge, a quiet place students can count on to get work done.
Manhattanville librarians teach students to become informed citizens and critical consumers of information. Students become experts at evaluating and effectively using information, a critically important skill in work and life after college. The ePortfolio lab upstairs is where students learn how to showcase their most impressive academic achievements.
Students should visit the library service desk to have a barcode added to their ID card.
