Suggestion:
- I think it would be helpful if the denton library extended their hours, as well as during finals. If you conducted a survey to all students I think you will find a need. Especially, with graduate students that have night courses. I do not know what you use to monitor the library use but many graduate students decide not to come to the library because you close so early and by the time they got started with their work it would be time to leave/the library closes.



Response:

My reply: We would love nothing more than to be able to accommodate your needs for extended hours. This has been a suggestion presented to us many times. As you may already know we are open on Sunday’s from 2:OO PM – 12 Midnight.
Monday through Thursday 7:30 AM – 12 Midnight and Saturdays 9 AM – 6:00 PM. Due to budget constraints we cannot keep the building open longer than the hours I have given you. We would like to, but it would require adding additional staff and at this time we cannot add staff.

Thank you for taking the time to notify us. We appreciate it.

Suggestion:
- It would be really awesome, if an announcement could be made like right now for people on the 3rd floor to be quiet. Right now, please.


Response:
Your message concerning last night’s people talking on the 3rd floor just reached me this morning. I am in hopes you are talking about the students participating in the Coffee Breaks that are offered to all students studying in the library for finals. This would be the only time there would be loud talking taking place on the 3rd floor. We will be having coffee breaks at night in the Library thru Thursday night.
If by chance this was not the case, please notify a full time staff employee at the reference desk and they will be happy to take care of the matter. Also, there are many study rooms that can be reserved online for your convenience and those on the southeast side of the building are very quiet.
Thank you,
