Welcome to the Bank Street Library
The Library is home to a children’s collection, a graduate school collection, electronic resources (databases and computers), and an archive. We offer spaces for patrons to enjoy books, and work on assignments. We hope to see you soon on the 5th floor of Bank Street College. The Library is open for graduate school students & faculty, parents, and alumni.
Register with the Library
If you are new to Bank Street, e.g., graduate student, faculty member, alumni, staff, or parent and would like to check-out books in print, please register with us first. Registering will allow you to log in to the catalog, place holds on books, and take them home to read. Please note, School for Children students do not have to register. Come to the circulation desk in the Library on the fifth floor and register in person. Questions? Email us librarian@bankstreet.edu

The Library has a variety of research options available to graduate school students. Please note that only the research databases require a login.
Book lists and recommendations are located on the Library website, in Educate (Bank Street’s institutional repository), or in a Research Guide. No logins are required to review resources, and whenever possible we try to hyperlink titles to the Bank Street Library catalog.
Join us for our next installation of the Library Salon series, where authors Laurie Rabinowitz and Amy Tondreau, along with Bank Street Graduate School of Education alums Charlotte Maltby, GSE ’24, and Todd Lavine, GSE ’22, discuss a cohesive, comprehensive framework for literacy instruction that meets the needs of all learners.
