Staff
Welcome to Ladd Library!
Our library collections and facilities are available to you.
Your Bates College photo I.D. (keycard) is required for all library transactions.
Some of our most popular services include:
- CD and DVD collections. Browse the most recently cataloged offerings on the display racks in the Audio/Video Area located on the ground floor, search the catalog for your favorites or see our list of Circulating Feature Films.
- Featured Books. Located on the main floor opposite the Reserve desk. These books are selected from the New York Times Bestseller List, or have received reviews in other notable publications. The titles in the collection change constantly. New titles are added as they are received.
- New Books. Displayed for one week on the New Books Shelf. The display is located on the main floor of Ladd as you approach the Instruction Room. Feel free to browse the display and check out the titles that are of interest. The display is changed on Wednesday of each week.
- CBB, MaineCat and NExpress. If you don't find what you're looking for at Ladd, you may request the title through either of these services. Materials borrowed through the CBB consortium offers extended loan periods ( ordered via NExpress or MaineCat system). Most items are delivered in two or three days. More information at:
