The Arthur J. Hidalgo Library in Brooklyn contains more than 15,000 resource materials to support the institute's educational programs. The library's core collection includes books, periodicals, professional journals, audio, video and CD's, and electronic resources such as e-books and databases.

The ASA Libraries are recognized by the New York State Education Department as an Advanced Level Electronic Doorway Library.

The ASA Libraries have 13 MLS librarians and professors of Information Literacy and 8 library assistants. The library staff provides a wide range of reference services and workshops and tutorials on Information Literacy subjects.
