Campus Announcement: The university will extend the library's opening hours to 24/7 starting next semester. This change aims to accommodate students' varying study schedules and to provide a quiet space for late-night study sessions. However, to ensure safety and security, students will be required to show their university ID cards at the entrance after 10 PM.

Woman: Did you hear about the library's new 24/7 hours? I'm thrilled! I often lose track of time studying for my biology exams, and it's so annoying when they kick us out at midnight. Now I can stay as long as I need.
Man: I guess, but I'm not so sure it's a good idea. The ID check after 10 PM seems like a hassle. What if you forget your card? You'd be locked out right when you need to study most.
Woman: That's true, but I always carry my ID anyway. Plus, the extra hours will really help me balance my part-time job and classes. I can study late after work instead of rushing during the day.
Man: But think about the security staff. They'll have to be there all night, which might mean less funding for other resources, like new books.
Woman: I see your point, but I think safety is worth it. And honestly, the demand for late-night study space is huge—many students like me struggle to find quiet places. The 24/7 option is a big win.
