VCU Libraries will expand its around-the-clock service at James Branch Cabell Library on the Monroe Park campus March 18.
For some five years during semester-end, high-need periods, Cabell Library has expanded service hours from Sunday morning to Friday evening to better serve students.
Adding more hours of service has been the student body's No. 1 request for years.
The Office of the Provost is funding the pilot program, beginning this semester and continuing during the 2012-13 academic year to assess actual demand during these longer hours. Whether the program continues beyond the first year will depend on how it's used by students.
Cabell Library will launch the new service hours immediately after spring break: March 18. Cabell will operate without closing from 10 a.m. Sunday to 10 p.m. Friday. The library will be open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturdays. During the summer, the hours of operation may be reduced to match the lower student enrollment during the summer months.
