"The increase in opening hours is an excellent move
forwards, mainly the weekend as I work full time so extended opening
hours allows me more opportunities"
"The extended opening hours of the Caulfield branch
has been extremely welcome! Thanks from those of us working students."
"The thing that really bugs me is the opening
hours. I think it should really open earlier, I mean if you have a 9am
lecture or tutorial…"
"It
would be really great if the library was not closed on public holidays
(eg ANZAC Day) as due to work commitments that is an important time to
be able to access the library" |
- The library has extended hours at branches in
response to demand
-
Berwick Library is now open weekends during
semester;
- Caulfield Library hours now extend from 8am to
midnight on weekdays and together with weekends the branch is open
99 hours a week during semester;
- Clayton branch libraries are open for extended
hours before and during exam time.
The library continues to monitor opening times.
"The current library opening hours seem to please
most library users. The issue is important to our users and our
performance has improved resulting in many favourable comments. The
library continues to monitor use and earlier opening times and opening
on public holidays are options that will be considered."
