Commons After Hours

Commons After Hours is the library's late night study space at the Hayward Campus Library. It's open until 2am Sunday - Thursday, and located in the Learning Commons on the Lower Mall. Computers, printers, wireless access, chargers, and vending machines with snacks are available. A valid CSUEB Bay Card is required to enter and at all times while inside. The entrance is in the courtyard, between the library's main entrance and the ATM machine.

You can also study late at San Francisco State and San Jose State. You must be currently enrolled or employed at CSUEB and bring your Bay Card.

San Francisco State University Extended Hours
SFSU Research Commons is open 24 hours, 7 days a week except holidays and breaks. See https://library.sfsu.edu/hours for current library hours. To get a card to use the extended hours, you must bring your Bay Card to the SFSU help desk before 10 pm.

San Jose State University Extended Hours
SJSU Library is open to students 24 hours Sunday-Thursday except holidays and breaks. See https://library.sjsu.edu/library-hours/library-hours for current library hours. To get a card to use the extended hours, you must bring your Bay Card to the SJSU circulation desk before 11 pm on Monday-Thursday or before 7 pm on Sunday.

Got questions? The Library Peer Welcomers can help you find answers. CSUEB is a big place. Lots of buildings and offices. Where do you find a tutor or advisor? How do you find a good place to study, get help with an assignment, or figure out BlackBoard? Sometimes, the hardest part is figuring out where to start.

This Spring, the Library Peer Welcomers will help you out. Friendly students right at the library front door Monday-Thursday from 11:00am-3:00pm during the first few weeks of the semester. They'll take any question you've got, and if they don't know the answer right away, they'll help you get started.

Of course, if you're here at a time when we don't have a Peer Welcomer at the entrance, just go over to the Circulation Desk or the Reference (Ask Us!) Desk and we'll help you from there.
