24/7 Spaces

Now you can stay until your work gets done, or start studying as early as you need to! The Library offers three spaces that are open 24/7, including a quiet study area and an open computer lab (Poly Connect Lab) featuring 50 PC and Mac workstations.

Bring your ID

Cal Poly IDs are required for access when the main Library is closed: during the Winter Quarter 2013, the 24 hour area is open all day and night.

Hours may vary during quarter breaks, holidays, and the summer quarter. Please check our hours page for details.
