    Well one of my lecturers said that Friday and Monday are bank holidays, so we won't be in

    Unless they were mistaken, no we are not in :)

    Don't take this as gospel btw..

    Well I got an email telling me my lecture on Friday was cancelled, so I wouldn't have gotten that message if I was supposed to be in right?

    Enjoy your day on Friday, you may find it a bit lonely and there wont be much to eat, but there will be no problem getting parked.

    Depends on the lecturer I think.. I know that my lectures are cancelled.. It's on your timetable so I don't think we're officially off

    I can't see how it depends on your lecturer, if the building is closed you can't get in. The only discretion the lecturer has is to decide how to reschedule the lecture. Equally you can submit stuff on Blackboard ot whatever, but the offices are closed.

    There is a reading room but the full library is not open. I don't think you can get books and that. This is just what my programme officer told me. :D

    I know the health sciences library is closed on Good Friday.
    What a load of crap, no need for it to be closed.

    Reading Room service just means the library is open but none of the desks will be! Like it is when all the librarians go home in the evening but the place is open til midnight. I think.

    Hardly news, this has been the case in every year since the foundation of UCD.
