Will you ever be open for extended hours?
Well, when we're open we have to staff Ex Libris, so every hour we have to sell a certain amount just to break even. (This is why we are usually closed on Saturdays.) We tried staying open until 2:00am during 5th week of Autumn 2003, but didn't sell enough to make it worthwhile. But feel free to convince us otherwise...
Interims and Finals Week
We tend to be closed or have drastically reduced hours during interims and summer. ("Interim" sometimes includes first week and finals week: it's a flexible time.) This is because demand isn't high enough for us to afford staying open these days.
The doors are closed, but I still see light/hear people inside.
When the doors are closed, we're closed—you may hear music and talking as we clean up, but we aren't doing business anymore. We shut down the register and take inventory during closing, so selling after this time throws off our bookkeeping. Go get something from the vending machines in the canteen.
If you're looking for a place to grab coffee when we are closed, we recommend another student-run coffee shop. See the directions page for more details.
