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 staff members are ready to help with assignments in every subject. The Library maintains ample building hours for student convenience. Wi-Fi is available. Here you will find computers, printers, copiers and scanners. There are rooms for working in groups, video viewing, 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 that 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. The Digital Innovations lab upstairs is where students learn how to showcase their most impressive academic achievements using e-Portfolios and other software.
