I mean, the students wish it was open 24 hrs a day. The rite of passage for seniors is dancing on its reference desk. And, I have seen people order strippers TO the library. Not because they were causing a ruckus, but because they didn't want to leave the library (they had to study, you see?). I am friendsters with the library. I was a tour guide at Reed, and part of the speech was, "If you stand in the library lobby for 24 hours you'd see every Reed student pass you by." As a student that was more a commentary on how hard we worked. As an employee/librarian--damn that's a captive audience!
