Middleton Library’s extended hours are back, one day after the 24/5 schedule was suspended temporarily, said Sigrid Kelsey, director of library communications and publications.
The extended schedule was cancelled on Sunday because the security company was suspended from working with the University by the state.
“From what I understand, LSU told us that effective immediately, this company was longer allowed to work for LSU until they became compliant, and compliant with what, I’m not sure,” Kelsey said Sunday. “There must be some sort of state guidelines.”
Kelsey said security guards are now back for evening hours.
A temporary security contract with Lofton Staffing Services is in place, Kelsey said.
“We anticipate that the 24/5 hours won’t have anymore interruption,” Kelsey said.
Kelsey said she does not have further information on security company that was fired. 
Extended library hours were first introduced this semester to offer a place that students can consistently study on campus.
