(Oct 3/21) I have a daughter who likes studying in libraries because it helps her focus and maximize her every minute of the time. But all libraries are closed during weekends and during fall terms they are operating with reduced hours, especially health science library is only open 11 am to 4pm Monday to Friday due to COVID. But most of students and staff got vaccinated and most of our lives are back to normal with safety measures. Even though the university wants to avoid congregations of students inside buildings by reducing hours, in really students are gathering outside of school, eg) having homecoming parties, watching foot ball games held by McMaster. Keeping libraries closed would prevent COVID spread? I dont think so. Students need a space to study. Its very frustrating. Closing libraries during weekends and 4pm during weekdays... where do you think Students should go and study?
