The Art Institute of Ohio - Cincinnati maintains a 2,000 square foot library of curriculum-related resources. Technical and general education materials, academic and professional periodicals, and audio-visual resources are available to both students and faculty. The Library offers a computerized journal index and access by way of modem to the online library catalogs of other area colleges and universities. Students may have borrowing privileges at several local libraries. Internet access is available for research.

Students are oriented to the library early in their curricula, and the college has a full-time, professional Director of of Library Services, as well as a part-time Technical Service Librarian  and three part-time college work study students to assist students in using the library's resources to best support their learning. Faculty are encouraged to make regular assignments which require use of the Library, and students are encouraged to become familiar with the available resources as early as possible. The library also provides students with a quiet and pleasant environment for study and recreational reading.
