You have spoken, we have listened. You’ve been telling us about your different schedules and different study needs and in response Frances Harvey Green Library is creating a space to be open 24 hours, 5 days a week for Spring Exams. The 24five Zone will be open Sundays 12 noon through Fridays 10pm April 29th through May 11th, 2018.
University Librarian Mary Page says, “We are so excited about the launch of the 24five Zone. We believe there is a need for providing WCU students with study and collaboration space during overnight hours, and through this pilot, we hope to learn more about what those needs are and how to best meet them. If the pilot is successful (and we think it will be), the plan is to offer extended hours beginning in September 2018 as a regular service. Many people and departments worked with us to make this project a reality, including Public Safety and Facilities. We are so grateful for their expert advice and assistance.”
“Students will have access to computers, printers, and scanners, as well as plenty of seats. As someone who frequently assists students working late into the night, I’ve very happy overnight hours will be available and hope that students will take advantage of it,” said evening/weekend Library Help Desk supervisor Kevin Maguire.
When asked what students need to know, Officer Gene Klecko responded, “Be sure to have your RAMCard with you. The 24five Zone will only be open to current students and you will be required to present your valid ID to enter. Students should enter the 24five Zone through the Starbucks on the first floor.”
As always your feedback is very important to us. Tell us what you think, tweet @FHGLibrary #24five!
