Suggestion

- I think it would better benefit students if the extended hours for finals week started the Friday before finals week. Most finals are on Monday and Tuesday, so only extending hours on Sunday before finals just assumes everyone is cramming. I love to come to the library because it gives me a place of calm so I can focus on the crazy, so I think it would be great if hours were extended earlier.

Response:

Thank you for your suggestion about extended hours:

Every semester the Library reconsiders their extended hours for finals, usually based upon our attendance numbers from the previous semester’s finals. We did extend our weekend hours last year and found that there were not many students coming to the Library so that is why we did not extend them more than on Sunday this year. We do appreciate hearing your feedback and will definitely reconsider the hours next semester to better accommodate our students’ needs.

Thank you for your suggestion. The Libraries enjoy hearing from our students. If I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,
