Opening Hours

 You said

I am writing to seek for possible extension of library opening hours especially on weekdays.

 Currently the library opens till 8pm on weekdays. This is not conducive and inclusive as some students are on placement till 8pm. This makes it impossible to access the library during such hours. 

 Also some students with kids find it hard to study at home and during the day because of childcare, so night studies becomes more convenient. 

 Third year students currently working on their final year project needs longer time of study and access to access to library will go a long away. 

 Prior to pandemic, library is open 24/7 using I'D access and library staff stays till 8pm. I wonder if some students like third year students can be given longer access to library or if the library can return to previous opening time especially with exams round the corner.

 Please, I will appreciate if can give some thoughts into and consider the request.

Many thanks for your enquiry. I am sympathetic to your request and can reassure you that library opening hours are constantly under review. The University is mindful of the advice issued by government and the safety of the University community.

 As the pandemic is not over there are many restrictions still in place. These hopefully, will change at each stage of the government’s Roadmap. Please monitor the opening hours on offer weekly after Easter to see if any changes may be made.
