Spring 2026 Finals Week in Evans Library

Finals week is the busiest week for the library as students study and finish end of the semester projects. Spring 2026 finals week was no exception; in fact, it was record breaking. Beginning Friday, May 1, the library implemented extended hours, remaining open until midnight on Friday and Saturday and operating continuously from Sunday through Friday, May 8 at 5:00 p.m. During that week the library welcomed10,958 visitors - the highest weekly attendance on record and a 40.6% increase over a typical week during the semester. The nearly 11,000 students who used the library found a supportive and welcoming environment designed to meet a variety of needs, including stress-relief activities, quiet study, collaborative work, opportunities for rest and relaxation between exams, and access to nutritional and caffeinated sustenance early-morning through late-night hours.
