The Henry H. Howard & Gertrude L. Bagley Library is open for student and faculty use six days a week during the academic year, and is also open on a reduced schedule during the summer sessions. All students and faculty have full privileges for borrowing library materials, using computer databases, and requesting interlibrary loan materials.

The collections consist of books, hardcopy periodicals, full-text periodicals in online databases, Internet, videos and other educational materials. Library users can print from computers and there are photocopy services in the library building. The building has WiFi for the use of laptops and other mobile devices. The new building offers many new services including group and individual study rooms, a 24-hour study room, a quiet study room, a video viewing room, a conference room and expanded space for the growing collections.

The library constitutes an important part of the academic life of the campus. Most of the library collection is in English, since that is the language of instruction. However the Latin American Collection consists of English and Spanish language materials on Latin American subjects. There is also an extensive collection of bound Nicaraguan newspapers in Spanish, most of which is unavailable through online services. Due to the importance of some of these collections, they are also available for use by visiting scholars.
