Summer Opening Hours

The library on Bedford campus is excellent because it is 24/7, however, we were not told that it was no longer going to be 24/7 until the end of term. why is this? to save money? but my fees are still the same price even though i do not have access to learning resources at all hours. What about Masters course that run from October to October they could potentially only have access to the library 9am - 6pm between June and october, the busiest time for MA students. We rely highly on our Library resources and to not have this available at all hours will be a shame. Personally for me i work full time and come in to the library after work to complete my assignments - how will this work for me?
