In response to student requests, the James Branch Cabell Library on the Monroe Park Campus will be open 24 hours a day, 5 days a week for the last three weeks of the semester.

"From April 24 through May 13, we will open our doors at 11:00 a.m. each Sunday and remain open until our regular Friday evening closing time. Saturday hours during Library Lite All Nite will remain unchanged," according to the news release.

"We are offering these overnight hours on a trial basis only. Most of our library and building services will follow their normal operating schedules during these 3 weeks, but the Cabell Library's circulation staff and VCU Police security staff will be on hand all night to ensure a safe study environment for library users with valid VCU identification.

"Library computers, including access to the VCU Libraries catalog and databases, the Internet, and Open Office productivity applications, will be available throughout the night with brief interruptions to accommodate routine backup and update procedures."
