Gelman Library will operate on a reduced schedule until the end of the summer, University Librarian Jack Siggins said Monday.

GW eliminated the 24-hour, seven-day per week schedule at the library at the end of June. The new hours are 7:30 a.m. to midnight every day. The move will help the University save money and energy, Siggins said.

“We decided to cut back on library hours in order to save energy because use of the library is not at its height at all during the summer,” he said. “It also saves a lot of money since we are not hiring for more hours.”

The regular Gelman Library schedule will resume on August 31.
