It's the weekend before finals and you close at 10? This is an outrage. I'm in the Reg struggling for a place to study. I should not have to deal with this for $50,000 a year. The A-Level is closed, the 1st floor has limited space, what am I supposed to do?
There is always Harper Commons...open 24/7 until the end of finals week.
Unfortunately, we can't keep the Reg open in similar fashion: after Circ closes, there are only 2 staff on duty*—at Entry Control and the security desk—who generally can't leave their posts.
When the new cafe space opens in Winter Quarter, we're hopeful the additional seating will allow more people to take advantage of the first floor all-night study space. (We've heard that while the cafe itself will close in late evening, but the space will remain open all night.)
*Frequent users of the all-night space may spot an occasional reference librarian or reading room staff member on the first floor. Feel free to ask them questions, but they aren't really on duty...
