The Bainbridge College Library is located in the Academic Building. It serves the entire college, providing access to knowledge for both students and community citizens. The book collection has more than doubled since opening day, reaching a size of some 34,000 volumes in 1997. The book collection is composed of materials that are carefully chosen to support the students' academic requirements as well as to provide more in-depth reading for those who are interested. Currently, the collection provides access to some 600 periodical titles in both hard copy and microfilm.
Back issues extend, in some cases, into the early years of the twentieth century.
Of additional interest are newspaper collections on microfilm including the entire run of newspapers published in Bainbridge, and selected back issues of the New York Times. GIL allows patrons to search library holdings from Bainbridge College and other libraries in the state university system and access patron information such as checkouts, fines, and holds. The Library is staffed by professional librarians during all operational hours. Between quarters the Library is open from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Summer hours may vary and are posted in the Library. A classroom-centered library orientation program is part of general student instruction, and personal service is readily available in all areas of the Library.
