Library Hours

The hours of the library should include Saturday hours of at least until 5:00 p.m. or better yet 7:00 or 9:00 p.m. Students should not have to go to Starbucks or somewhere else to study. The library should be open on Sunday from 1:00 TO 5:00 and open during the week until 10:30 or 11:00.



Thank you for your suggestion and there isn't one Library staff member who does not agree with you.

However, the budget realities of the state government that funds us, as well as the limited resources provided to community colleges are harsh realities that have an impact all over our campus.

We do the best we can and study the peak hours and use to best serve students. We look forward to a better economic time when we can expand our hours in the evenings, early morning and longer hours on Saturdays and afternoon/evening hours on Sundays.

there needs to be longer hours on the weekend. ALSO, why aren't the hours listed on the main page of this website !

I agree. The library should be open on longer hours on saturday and definitely open on sunday. the library environment makes learning and studying easier and lighter. PCC should have their library open 24/7. Cal Poly now have their library open 24/7 and Occidental College have their library open 24/5 because a lot of students were demanding it.

I agree to this. I think at least during the Exam ... I agree to this. I think at least during the Exam Time the Library could be 24/7 or enough Facilities must be provided for the Students to ensure that the Study shouldn't be effected
