Suggestion: Why don't we have 24 hour access to the library? If it's budget costs, then I think we could at least have earlier opening hours on a regular basis. I think 7:30 am is an inconvenience.

Response: Thank you for your question. The Libraries assess hours of operation every year and a few years ago in response to student use we extended hours on Friday nights. More recently we began extending hours during finals. Based on building use, availability of staff, student workers and security personnel and advice from our Student Advisory Committee Blagg Huey Library is open from 7:00 am until 2:00 am during finals. The Libraries and Dining Services work together to provide coffee breaks and healthy snacks during finals.
