With the term winding down, final class projects are due and exams are on their way. Those who are willing to stay up all night to get the work done can head to the Knight Library, which will be open 24 hours a day starting Tuesday until Dec. 10.
The Knight Library started the all-day, all-night program in spring 2003 to cater to students’ extra study needs during dead week and finals week. Library spokesman Ron Renchler said the library has had “a very good turnout” of students using the facilities overnight in the past.
Last year it cost the library about $5,000 per term to implement the extended service, according to a March 8 Emerald article.
Students, faculty or staff who wish to remain in or enter the library during extended hours will need to show their University IDs. While users will have access to photocopy machines, printers and computers, they will not be able to check out materials, videos or reserves during these extended hours.
Extended hours run from 12 a.m. to 8 a.m. Monday through Thursday, 7 p.m. Friday to 11 a.m. on Saturday and 7 p.m. Saturday to 11 a.m. Sunday. The library will close at 7 p.m. on Dec. 10.
All other University libraries will maintain their regular hours.
Intersession hours begin for all libraries from Dec. 11 through Jan. 2. Campus libraries will be closed weekends until Jan. 2, when the Knight, AAA and Science libraries will be open from noon to 6 p.m.
