Hampshire and Five College Borrowing Policies
Hampshire College students may borrow library materials, including books, CDs, videos, DVDs, and media equipment, directly from the Harold F. Johnson Library. Items may be borrowed directly from Five College Libraries, or requested for delivery to the Harold F. Johnson Library. See the Library’s website for information regarding borrowing policies and loan periods. Items not owned within the Five College Libraries may be requested via Interlibrary Loan.
Study Spaces
The Library offers many study tables and lounge furniture for individual or group study. Some library rooms are bookable for group study, see our room reservation policies page for more information. Students may apply to reserve study carrels on the 2nd or 3rd floors. Carrels are assigned to students for a semester at a time, and students may use them as their personal study space during the Library’s open hours. The Airport Lounge, which is adjacent to the Library, offers study space and 24/7 access to computers and a color printer.
