Perhaps open earlier
&
Open earlier in the morning @ around 6:30. Classes start @ 8:00
Classes at 8 are why we open at 7:30 on Monday though Friday when classes are in session (snow permitting!). A few years ago, we moved from opening at 7:45 to 7:30 in response to student requests, but because of the amount of staff hours we have, and the amount of hours the library is open, we can’t push opening earlier. During 24/7 periods, we also track library use, and we have very little use at 6:30.
Opening at 7:30 lets people at least stop by and drop off, pick up, or print materials before class at 8:00.
