Starting on Oct. 9, the Wolfson Campus library will be open to students on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The new schedule stems from additional funding.
“We used to be open on Saturdays,” says Library Director Zenaida Fernandez. “However, due to lack of funding, we had to keep the schedule to five days a week.”
New personnel has been hired specifically to keep the library running on Saturdays.
The positions added are one full-time librarian, one full-time front desk technician and a part-time technician for computers and periodicals.
According to Fernandez, there must be at least three employees on site for the library to function properly.
“If this funding persists, we will continue to stay open six days a week, in order to assist students,” Fernandez said.
