The Peachtree

City Library will stay open late Tuesday through Thursday to provide a

haven for local high school students cramming for exams.

The library

will remain open until 10:30 p.m. for students those evenings, but it

closes at 9 p.m. for the general public. Students choosing to remain must

have a current student ID and PINES library card.

Only the reference

area will be open to assist students. One staffer will be at the circulation

desk to answer phones in case of an emergency; no regular library business

will be conducted after 9 p.m.

No students

will be allowed inside after 9 p.m., and monitors will be stationed at

the front and back doors. Students leaving the building must have their

hand stamped in order to be readmitted.

When the library

closes at 10:30 p.m. each night, the only exit will be through the front

door. A police officer will be on hand to monitor the parking lot, according

to Jill Prouty, the library's technology and training manager.

The library

will also extend its regular operating hours Sunday when it closes at

6 p.m.
