Helm-Cravens Library Open Late During Finals Week

Some confusion about our library hours has arisen because the Student Technology Center in the Helm Library is closed next Thursday and Friday for renovations. The Helm and Cravens Library itself is open. We are even extending our hours as we always do during finals week thanks to the Student Government’s sponsorship. Sunday (December 10) we will be open 1pm-2am; Monday-Thursday (December 11-14), 7:45am-2am; and Friday, 8am-4:30pm.

Signs are posted at all of our entrances with the Finals Week hours, and notes are put up on our website. If you have any questions, contact Dan Forrest, Coordinator of Access at 5-6164 or email dan.forrest@wku.edu.
