Comment About Friday Hours
One of our patrons recently wrote to us about our Friday hours:
"I recently came to the library on a friday night hoping to get some work done before the weekend. I got there at 7, and was told the library closed at 8. I am very confused why a college lbrary closes so early. If you value education, why isn't the library open like any normal day of the week. I was very upset about this."
Library Director David Schoen responds:
"Sorry we weren't able to meet your needs. The Library at Niagara University is subject to budget constraints typical of a smaller Catholic college, which means that expenditures need to be optimized and we have to make choices that will occasionally disappoint patrons. When studying what hours we should be open our statistics show low usage on Friday evenings, hence the 8 pm closing time. The libraries of the two colleges most similar to Niagara University in the region, Canisius and St. Bonaventure, also close at 8 pm on Friday nights.
Thank you for taking the time to send the suggestion. We will include your suggestion in any future analysis of library hours we perform."
If you have any comments about the library, please write them in our comment book on the first floor near the DVDs or submit them using the comment box on our home page. Thanks!
