📖 Reading Passage
Campus Announcement: Starting next semester, the university will extend library hours to 24/7 during finals week. The extended hours will apply to the main library only. Additional security staff will be hired to ensure safety. This change aims to accommodate students' study needs during peak exam periods.

Man: Did you see the announcement about the library being open all night during finals? I think it's a great idea. I often pull all-nighters before exams, and right now, the library closes at midnight. It's really inconvenient to have to pack up and move to a coffee shop that's noisy and distracting. Having a quiet place to study would help me focus better.
Woman: I agree, but I'm worried about safety. Walking back to the dorms at 3 a.m. can be scary. The announcement says they're hiring more security, though. That makes me feel safer. Also, with the library open, I won't have to walk to off-campus study spots late at night. I think it's a smart move, especially since finals are so stressful.
