Reserve a Locker

Obtaining a Locker

O’Neill Library offers short-term lockers that can be borrowed for up to 24 hours. Additionally, both Bapst and O’Neill Libraries provide long-term lockers that can be assigned for the entire academic year. These lockers are available on a first come, first served basis for both graduate and undergraduate students.

How do I borrow a locker?

  • Keys for short-term lockers can be borrowed from the level 3 User Services desk.
  • Academic year reservations begin on August 25, 2024. Complete the reservation form to secure a locker. Within 48 hours, you will receive an email containing your locker combination code.

Where are the lockers located?

  • O'Neill: Short-term lockers are located opposite the vending machines on level one. Long-term lockers are located on the west side of the fourth floor, adjacent to the Graduate Reading Room.
  • Bapst: Lockers are located in the Student Lounge (first floor). 

What else should I know?

Long-term lockers may not be used to store perishable food or library materials (including Periodicals, DVDs, CDs, and materials from the Reference Collection) that have not been checked out to your account.

Students who check out long-term lockers will receive an email three weeks before the expiration date with a request to empty their locker. Materials left in lockers will be handled as follows:

  • Library materials: will be removed from their library accounts and returned to the stacks.
  • Personal property: will be held at the library for one semester before being processed as lost property. If you have questions, email notices@bc.edu or visit the User Services desk.

Boston College and Boston College Libraries are not responsible for any loss or damage to material stored in lockers. We also do not take responsibility for unclaimed materials left in lockers after the expiration date.
