After examining data related to late night library usage and considering student input, the University officers have decided to modify library hours for fall semester dead week and exam week, according to Tom Greene, provost. Spring semester hours have also been modified; the library will open earlier and close later. Access to the library after midnight will require that community members use their ID cards. The lower level of the library will also be closed at midnight. After midnight, the library will be staffed with public safety personnel and professional library services will not be available. At the end of spring semester, library usage data will be reviewed to determine future library operation hours.
As fall semester comes to an end, the library will be open during its regular hours until Dead Week (or Reading Week) when extended hours will be offered as follows:
- Monday Dec. 2 to Friday, Dec. 6: 7:30 a.m.-12 midnight
- Saturday, Dec. 7: 10 a.m.-12 midnight
- Sunday, Dec. 8: 10 a.m. -2 a.m. Access by card swipe required after midnight; lower level closed at midnight.
- Monday-Wednesday, Dec. 9-11: 7:30 a.m.-2 a.m. Access by card swipe required after midnight; lower level closed at midnight.
- Thursday, Dec. 12: 7:30 a.m.-10 p.m.
- Friday, Dec. 13: 7:30 a.m.-5 p.m.
