Man: Did you see the announcement about the library staying open until midnight? I think it's a great idea. I often have to leave at 10 p.m. right when I'm in the middle of studying for finals. With the extra two hours, I can finish my work without rushing home. Also, the new study rooms on the ground floor are perfect for group projects. My friends and I often struggle to find a quiet space to work together, and those rooms will solve that problem. The extra student assistants will also make the library safer and more organized at night. I'm really happy about this change.
