The mission of the Bay State College Library is to support teaching and learning at Bay State College through resources, research help, and instruction. Students and faculty can reach out to the librarian during business hours to get assistance with research and citations, and the learning commons offers study space for individual and groups.

All Bay State College students and faculty, regardless of location, have access to the library's electronic resources, including ebooks, online research databases, and academic streaming video content. The library participates in an interlibrary loan program through its Massachusetts State Library membership. Faculty and students can request articles through this service.

Additionally, all Massachusetts residents and/or students studying in Massachusetts have access to resources available through the Boston Public Library. You can find information on the Boston Public Library website.
