Welcome to the Bank Street Library
The Library is home to a children’s collection, a graduate school collection, and electronic resources (databases and computers). We offer spaces for patrons to enjoy books with little ones, work on assignments, and engage in group work. We also host several events: Library Salons, BookFest @ Bank Street, and the Irma Black Award ceremony, to name a few. We hope to see you soon on the 5th floor of Bank Street College.

Research Guides
What are you researching today? These Research Guides are created by librarians and library staff to assist you in your research project.
Make an appointment to see a Reference Librarian for a one-on-one research consultation, and help with APA citations. We prefer at least two business days notice for all appointments. If you need immediate assistance, please see a Librarian at the Reference Desk, or Ask for Help Online

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.
The Library has been collecting and cataloging Something About the Author (SATA) for years, in fact we have 344 volumes as of October, 2019. If you are doing an author or illustrator study this is the resource you should be consulting.
