Two library systems for HSAS students
HSAS students have access to two library systems: the New York Public Library and the Lehman College Library.
New York Public Library provides electronic resources online from anywhere as well as onsite resources in library locations. Requires a NYPL card and PIN.
Lehman College Library offers:
The Leonard Lief Library
The Leonard Lief Library (Lief is pronounced "leaf") on the Lehman College campus is a spacious, well-equipped home base for research and study.
HSAS students may use this library until 8 p.m. during regular college sessions.
During school hours, students may come to the library during their lunch period.
Are you registered?
Students must have Lehman IDs and register with the library to check out books.
Students cannot take out books or access the available databases without a registered and activated library account. To register, students must first obtain Lehman College ID cards. The link here opens the registration form. Bring the completed forms to the Circulation Desk. After they create an account for you, ask them to activate your account.
These accounts are now being automatically renewed each semester for continuing students, so students only need to register once.
