To give students, faculty and staff even greater access to its extensive services and resources for research and study, Auburn University Libraries will be extending its hours at the Ralph Brown Draughon Library on Friday and Saturday evenings during fall and spring semesters to 9 p.m. This change will take effect on Jan. 31.

“We’ve been hearing for a while that students, especially graduate students, wanted more weekend access for their work,” said Dean of Libraries for Auburn University Libraries Shali Zhang. “We are pleased that we can now offer these extended hours to our students needing more time to accomplish their research or to find a great place to study.”

Previously, the library was open until 6 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, a total of 134 hours each week. The library will now be open 140 hours each week during fall and spring semesters. The new hours will be:

  • Sunday 1 p.m. until Friday at 9 p.m.

  • Saturday 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
