Ask a Librarian
The Library never sleeps! Chat live with a Librarian: 24 hours a day; 7 days a week. Librarians here at BCC or at other CUNY colleges will most likely answer your question during the hours the library is open. After hours, you’ll get answers from librarians at colleges across the country and the world.
