The circulating books are located on the 13th floor of the library. Included in these collections are approximately 20,000 textbooks on a variety of health care topics, dating from the 1960's to the present time. Circulating books are shelved in two locations, depending on their size: "oversized" and "regular".

The "oversized" books are physically larger, and are shelved just to the right of the stairwell on the 13th floor. They are designated as "Medical Oversize" in the Library Catalog, and have orange tape on their spines. The "regular" collections are located just past the oversized books, and are designated as "Medical" in the Library Catalog.

All of these books can be checked out of the library for 28 days with an option to renew. Faculty, staff and students of the Boston University, the Boston Medical Center, and members of the Boston Library Consortium are eligible to check out books from the library.
