Please sign this petition to keep the Georgia State University Library open 24 hours a day during the academic school year. We've all been there, you've had that project that you waited until the last minute to start and now it's time to pull an all-nighter. The problem arises when you realize that you have no where on campus to work and study that is open 24 hours. I do realize that if you life in University Housing there are study rooms available, but as our campus continues to grow, more and more of us are living close to campus in student apartments and we need the library to be open to do research, print, have a stable wifi connection, and have a quiet safe place to study.

I spent a long night in the lobby last week watching students struggle to find a quiet desk after the doors locked. Your stories about lacking reliable internet or a safe place to work confirm that this is a necessity rather than a luxury for our campus community.

Seeing this momentum grow reminds me of all those nights I spent searching for a quiet corner to finish my degree. It means the world to see so many of you acknowledge that a safe and accessible library is not a luxury but a necessity for our survival as students.

We're a large research university. It only makes sense for us to also have a 24 hour library.

The hours they have now do not have the greatest benefit to students with very different life schedules. Access to the library should be 24 hours at least monday though friday and most especially during midterms and finals.

PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU GSU. I neeeeeed a place to study in the midst of the night that isn't distracting like my apartment is. Besides, I give Yall a lot of money each year, the least you can do is keep the library open 24 hours, LIKE EVERY OTHER COLLEGE DOES (not peer pressuring you or anything, but come on, it's 2014 about to be 2015. Get with the program here GSU)

Definitely agree 100%. This would be great for those who cannot study at home, and those who needs reliable wi-fi for research.

I did not appreciate being kicked out of the library while I was trying to turn in a 20 page paper!!! Absolutely ridiculous! The library needs to be opened for 24 hours especially during finals time!!!

For such a big school and library, especially given the location, it really needs to be open 24/7.
