The Library will be open during the August holidays up till 11 pm on all weeknights except Friday. That was the content of a sucessful motion by the student representatives at last Thursday's Professorial Board meeting. The motion is expected to be ratified by Council in two weeks time.

The motion reinstated Library opening hours which had been in force before the cuts in hours earlier this year (to 6 pm closing). The motion was passed easily despite cold water from the Librarian and the head of the Library committee.

Part-time students including many Commerce students, married students and older students should benefit from the extended weeknight openings. Also benefited will be those students, on or off the pitiful STB, who are forced into full-time jobs during the August holidays.
