Due to library renovations, the print collection has been temporarily removed from the library building. However, if you are on the Boston campus, you can request print material from our off-site storage space using your Northeastern ID and password. Please allow up to 2 days for delivery.
Most of our collection is available online through Scholar OneSearch. If you need something that we do not own as an e-book, you are welcome to Recommend a Purchase. Please keep in mind that not all publishers sell e-books to libraries, and requests may be denied due to unavailability of a library e-book license.

Does the library have any fun books?
Yes!
On all campuses, we are proud to offer free access to OverDrive.
This extensive and growing collection of e-books and audiobooks features recent fiction, popular nonfiction and more. All Northeastern users can borrow materials for up to two weeks at a time using Northeastern credentials. OverDrive e-books and audiobooks are available with most e-readers and mobile devices. OverDrive also offers the Libby app, which allows you to read and listen on the go.
On the Boston campus, the Hub space on the first floor of Snell Library features a browsable print collection of recent fiction, popular nonfiction and other non-scholarly materials from our larger collection. Feel free to take a look and check out any books you're interested in!
