SDSU Library — Attraction in San Diego

So incredibly disappointed the library has changed their hours from "24/7" to "After hours." Now the library is barely open the hours that the students need!! They claimed to have done this due to student reviews, yet no one asked for this... Whenever I am at the library, especially on Saturdays, students constantly come at around 4 PM, unaware that it now closes early.

HIRE MORE PEOPLE FOR THE LIBRARY We’re an R1 school, for god’s sake, we need our library more than ever. We want to study. At the very least, keep it open 24/7 for the 10 days before midterms and finals. I understand that funding is tight, but come on, it’s...
