Through a pilot program in collaboration with the Student Association (SA), E.S. Bird Library will be open 24 hours, seven days a week during midterms, including the weekends of Feb. 24-26 and March 3-5. Bird Library normally closes at 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights.
SA is covering the costs of security and custodial services for the additional 56 open hours. The initiative was championed by James Franco, SA Academic Affairs chair.
