There’s no place like home.

Covid-19 may have closed the doors on City College’s libraries, but it hasn’t shut down the services

THE DIVISIONS

At City College, there is no single library, but different divisions each featuring collections that serve the research and study needs of different groups of students and professors.

The Morris R. Cohen Library

When most CCNY students think of “the library,” what they have in mind is the main library in the NAC, the Morris R. Cohen Library, which specializes in the humanities and social sciences and serves as the primary library for the college.

The Music Library
https://library.ccny.cuny.edu/musiclibrary

For jazz fans, it offers a brilliant collection of jazz recordings, plus scores, 12,000 books and videos. It’s in Shepard Hall.

Architecture Library
