Named for the 11th president of Wells College, Louis Jefferson Long Library has a collection of over 218,000 volumes and subscribes to almost 400 periodicals and newspapers.  Collection strengths are in the areas of art, history, literature, local history, philosophy, and women's studies.  Long Library features an open-stack system, individual study carrels, microform readers and a walk-through art gallery.  The library has recently installed wireless connectivity throughout the facility.  Additional features are a computer network printing lab accessible anywhere on campus, various academic support services such as The Writing Center, and if laptops and lattes are your pleasure, the library is also home to the Commons Café.

The Voyager online library catalog is provided as part of the library's integrated library system.  This catalog is available both in the library and from any remote site.  Students, faculty and staff can access their personal library records from the online catalog and have a personal inventory of borrowed materials.

Long Library has access to numerous electronic resources.  Many of the databases provide full-text access to thousands of periodicals.  Some of the more well known databases are: EBSCO Host Research Databases; FirstSearch; Grove Music; JSTOR; LexisNexis Academic; ProQuest; and PsycInfo.  Database training is available as part of the library's bibliographic instruction program and by individual appointment.

Additionally, coordinated resource sharing via a computerized interlibrary loan network is available to all members of Wells College.

The Wells College Archives is also housed in the library.
