More weekend and evening hours at the Library this fall

Increased evening and weekend hours

 You asked, we listened

We've increased our evening and weekend hours across all SFU Library locations.

You told us you needed more time for studying, research, and collaboration at all campus libraries. For the fall semester, the library will be open more hours, including expanded hours on evenings and weekends. 

Visit Hours: Opening & closing times for up-to-date opening and closing hours at all library locations.

Please visit during these service hours for: 

  • access to physical or paper-based course reserve readings

  • in-person check-out and check-in of books and other materials

Belzberg Library (SFU Vancouver)

Background

Beginning in early 2024, the Library reduced some building hours and public services as a result of university-wide budget cuts. 

We have now been able to reallocate resources, allowing us to restore some of our public service hours for Fall 2024.
