About Library Hours 24
Making library information accessible to everyone, everywhere, at any time.
Our Mission
We believe that access to information shouldn't be limited by time or location. Library Hours 24 exists to connect people with the libraries they need, when they need them, by providing accurate, up-to-date information about library hours and services worldwide.
Our Story
Library Hours 24 was born from a simple frustration: trying to find accurate library hours late at night before an important deadline. What started as a personal project to collect library information has grown into the most comprehensive library directory on the web.
We understand that life doesn't always fit into standard business hours. Students pull all-nighters, professionals work unusual schedules, and families need flexible access to educational resources. That's why we specialize in not just providing library hours, but highlighting libraries that offer extended and 24-hour access.
Every day, thousands of people use Library Hours 24 to find study spaces, research facilities, computer access, and quiet places to work. We're proud to support students, researchers, job seekers, and lifelong learners in their pursuit of knowledge.
