Commuter students have specific needs, and Butler Library can help meet those needs. We have spaces for students to work and resources you can access from both on and off campus. You can borrow a laptop to bring to class, or search our online collections from home to find ebooks and journal articles for your research. Need more help? Try searching our FAQ. And remember that you can contact us with any questions.
Find out more about campus resources and services for commuter students at Student Life's commuters page.
If you're looking for a way to get more out of your commute, take a look at the free, digital resources through the New York Public Library.

The NYPL has thousands of e-books and audiobooks available to help make your commute fly by!
