Change to library hours

Since the library's hours were changed in January, we've continued to take a careful look at how the building is being used, especially in the evening. Our ongoing observations have shown us that library use remains high until midnight on most nights, and drops of significantly after that. As a result, we have decided to extend the operating hours of the full building until midnight Monday through Thursday, effective March 2. (The full Library was already open until midnight on Sundays.) The main level gallery space will still remain open until 2 a.m. Sunday through Thursday for study, computer access and wireless Internet capability.

During final exam periods, the full Library building will remain open until 2 a.m. and the main level gallery space will be open 24 hours a day. (Stay tuned for more information on exact dates.)

NEW LIBRARY HOURS (as of Monday, March 2, 2009)
Sunday: Noon to Midnight**
Monday - Thursday: 8 a.m. to Midnight**
Friday: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Saturday: 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

** The main level addition will remain open until 2 a.m. Sunday through Thursday.

Due to the continuing inclement weather, LNDL will be closing at 9 p.m. on Wednesday, January 28.

New Library Hours

Those of you who are avid library-watchers will already know about this change. But in case you didn't see the announcements sent out to Loyola and Notre Dame, we wanted to post information about the change to library hours here, as well. We hope that the change to our hours will not prove to be too disruptive to anyone's schedule.

Over the last several months, the leadership of the Loyola/Notre Dame Library has been studying student and faculty usage of the Library to determine the best hours to be open. This analysis was performed to help determine how to conserve resources such as energy and personnel and subsequently reduce the Library’s carbon footprint.

Consequently, beginning on Monday, Jan. 26, the Loyola/Notre Dame Library changed its hours of operation during periods when it will have the smallest impact on students and faculty. Making these modest reductions in the Library’s weekend hours, when usage is low, will lower energy consumption and cut operating costs.

In addition to more limited weekend hours, the majority of the Library building will also close earlier during the week, while the main level addition will remain open until 2 a.m. for study, computer access and wireless Internet capability.

During exam periods, the full Library building will remain open until 2 a.m. and the main level addition will be open 24 hours a day.

NEW LIBRARY HOURS**
Sunday Noon to Midnight
Monday - Thursday 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Saturday 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

** The main level addition will remain open until 2 a.m. Sunday - Thursday.

Welcome back!

The library re-opened today, with a few limitations on hours for the next week:

Monday, Jan. 5 - Thursday, Jan. 8: 8:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m.

Saturday, Jan. 10: 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
