Middleton Library is helping to students prepare for midterm exams by extending its hours this week.
 
The library will stay open until 2 a.m. each day through early Friday morning.
 
Nancy Colyar, assistant dean of libraries, said the first and second floors of Middleton will be open late, but the rest of the library will continue to close at midnight.
 
“Other than finals week, this is our busiest week of the semester,” Colyar said. “We are pleased that we can provide students a place to study and use the computing labs in a safe, quiet environment, especially while the Student Union is not fully reopened yet.”
 
CC’s Community Coffee House, located on the first floor, will remain open until its usual 11 p.m. closing time.
 
Student Government worked with the library in 2008 to extend hours until 2 a.m. permanently, but Middleton returned to the midnight closing time because of budget constraints.
 
SG passed a resolution the following year supporting extended hours during concentrated study periods such as midterm and final exams weeks.
