Library hours refer to the specific times during which a library is open and accessible to users. These hours indicate when patrons can visit the library to borrow books, access resources, use computers, study, and receive assistance from library staff. Libraries typically establish their hours based on factors such as user demand, operational capabilities, and institutional policies. Opening and closing times may vary on weekdays, weekends, holidays, and during academic breaks, reflecting the library’s commitment to serving its community effectively.
