Spring 2025: Welcome New & Returning Students

We are excited to have everyone back after a quiet month between semesters. We will be open our usual hours seven days a week: 7 AM to 11 PM. Each of the service desks in the library has shorter hours than the actual library hours (details on the Hours page of the library website). 

There are number of new things to announce: 

  • A fully opened 4th floor! Both sides of the floor are now available for use, adding 102 open seats and 10 group study rooms that can be booked in advance. 
  • New study cubicles on the 4th floor. On the west side of the floor, near the plaza are two rows of cozy cubicles for individual use. They feature lots of desk space and power outlets. 
  • Revamped docking stations on the 2nd floor. Located across from the reference desk, these docking stations now have seating and let you connect your laptop or iPad to a large external monitor. 

If you’re new to Baruch, we’ve got pages details all the many services and resources you’ll want to know about: 

Questions? We’ve got lots of way to get answers: 

  • call us when the reference desk is open at 646-312-1610 
  • stop by and ask us in person  

Library Hours for the Winter Session

Yes, the library is open! During the winter session (through January 23), the library is open from 9 AM to 10 PM seven days a week (except on January 20 when we’ll be closed for the holiday). As noted on the hours page on the library website, each of the service desks in the library have their own hours:

  • Circulation Desk: 9 AM – 5 PM (Mon-Fri), closed Saturday-Sunday
  • Tech Loan Desk: closed (all tech items loaned from the Circulation Desk instead)
  • Reference Desk: 10 AM – 5 PM (Mon-Fri), closed Saturday-Sunday

On Friday, January 24, the library will be essentially closed. Students who have materials checked out that they want to return can do so at the Circulation Desk between 9 AM and 5 PM that day but there are no other services available in the library (no use of computers, printers, scanners, study tables, or checking out items). Faculty, though, can enter the library and use our services as they prepare for the spring semester.

Speaking of spring, we’ll re-open fully on Saturday, January 25, and will have our usual hours of 7 AM to 11 PM seven days a week.
