Library offers 24/7 hours during exams

It's time to crack open your textbooks, uncap your highlighters and get down to business.

In order to provide students with a safe, quiet place to study, the Library and Media Services on Fanshawe's London campus will once again offer 24/7 access during exam season.

“There are people who find it really, really wonderful that at 3 a.m. when they get the study bug or when they're cramming — we all cram, let's face reality! It's nice to know that you have a safe place in which you can do it,” said Martie Grof-Iannelli, senior manager of Library Media Services at Fanshawe.

The 24/7 Library access begins at 8 a.m. on April 14 and runs until 5 p.m. on April 25. Fanshawe student ID must be presented to gain entry. The library will be closed for Good Friday, but reopens on Saturday at April 19 at 8 a.m.

Students can check out books and other media during the Library's regular hours (Sunday 1 to 5 p.m., Monday to Thursday 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.). “[The Library is open] strictly as a study spot — it's not with service,” Grof-Iannelli said. “There's no one here that's going to be checking in and out books, but we have a security guard... He keeps the decorum of the place so it's a safe place in which people can study.”

Please note that the Library Student Research Lab hours won't change, because it's already open 24/7.

So head to the Library and shhhh! Get studying!
