Midnight to 3:00 a.m., with valid Dalhousie ID
Sunday through Thursday
March 8 – April 24, 2010
Stressing about finals? Need more late night study time? We hear you!
Beginning March 8th, the Learning Commons in the Killam Library will remain open after midnight, Sundays through Thursdays, until the last day of exams.
- Extended hours apply to the Learning Commons only. The Help Desk, Circulation Desk, and upper Library floors will close at midnight.
- Access to the Learning Commons after midnight requires a valid Dalhousie ID card, also known as DalCard. If you are already in the Library, you will be asked to exit at regular closing hours and re-enterto swipe your ID card.
- Getting home: To improve your safety when you leave campus, you can move your car into the McCain Building Parkade across from LeMarchant Street at midnight and park there at no additional charge.*
- If you are walking or biking, consider becoming “study buddies” with friends or classmates who live near you, and head home together for improved safety.
Dal Night Owls is an initiative of Student Services and the Dalhousie Libraries.
*Prior to midnight, you can only park in the McCain Parkade if you purchase a ticket from the dispenser. We’re sorry we can’t make it free earlier, but this is the main parking area for events at the Arts Centre each evening. Cars must leave the Parkade when the Learning Commons closes at 3:00 a.m.

Great idea! The more universities have extended hours in Halifax, the better.
I have noticed the “Night Owl” name used during extended hours by another local library for the past few years … 🙂
