Does the library have extended hours during examinations?

  • KNUST Library Help Desk

Yes. During mid-semester and end-of-semester examination periods, the KNUST Library provides 24-hour service to support students with their revision, research, and examination preparation. This extended service allows students to access designated library facilities and study spaces throughout the day and night during the announced examination period.

The 24-hour service is intended to provide students with a quiet and conducive environment for individual study, reading, research, accessing library resources, using computers and online databases, and preparing for examinations. Students who prefer studying during late-night or early-morning hours can therefore make use of the library during these periods.

However, not every library service may operate continuously for 24 hours. Services that require library staff, such as circulation, reference assistance, borrowing, and other administrative services, may have specific operating hours even when study facilities remain accessible.

The 24-hour schedule normally applies only to designated examination periods and facilities, and the exact dates may change each semester. Students should therefore check official KNUST Library announcements, notices, and communication channels for confirmation of when the 24-hour service begins and ends and which facilities are included.
