O’Neill Library

Hi, I’m the Answer Wall! I’ve been perched in the O’Neill Library lobby at Boston College since February 2017, except for a year in 2020 when I went fully online. Ask me a question by posting a post-it on me in O’Neill Library. I’ll answer within a day on weekdays. I snooze on the weekends, because answering questions is hard work!

I just graduated! Thank you so much to all of the BC Staff – especially the librarians who helped me w/research :) ❤️

Enjoy London! Call, text, etc. your boyfriend with tales of your exciting adventures. We will try to keep him amused while you are away.

Purge dates indicate when you will be removed from the library system. That basically means you won’t be able to check out items after that date. The date depends on when you graduate and is usually a few months after graduation. If you are expecting to be at BC after that time, you should reach out to Student Services or talk to the library staff at the circulation desk, and they can definitely help!
