The recently-renovated Beatley Library is one of Simmons College's pride and joys. The building is five stories and contains room for up to 240,000 physical volumes, and features a state of the art system that allows the shelves to move apart and together to conserve space. The library contains a number of PCs and Macs for use by Simmons students, as well as protected wi-fi throughout the building.
In addition to books, Beatley Library is also home to numerous study and and conference rooms that are made available to students on request.
Simmons College Library participates in the Fenway Library Consortium, allowing their patrons to access books from other schools in the area as well as the Boston Public Libraries.

The Cardinal Cushing Library is home to Emmanuel College's 100,000+ periodicals and books, as well as their Academic Resource Center and computer labs. The building is entirely wireless so that students may complete their tasks comfortably in any of the study nooks contained within the library.
The Cushing Library is a member of two different partnerships for inter-library loans: the Fenway Libraries Online Network and the Fenway Libraries Consortium. Both alliances allow students to borrow from neighboring schools as well as the Boston Public Libraries.

The Library has limited hours during the summer months, but during the school year they operate Monday through Thursday 7:30am through 1am, Friday 7:30am through 8pm, Saturday 9am through 8pm, and Sunday 12pm through 1am.
