Announcement: Starting next semester, the university will extend the library's hours on weekdays from 10 PM to midnight. This change aims to provide more study time for students during exam periods. However, to cover additional staffing costs, the library will reduce its weekend hours, closing at 6 PM instead of 9 PM. The university believes this adjustment balances student needs with budget constraints.

M: Did you see the library announcement? I think it's a terrible idea.
W: Really? I thought the extra late-night hours would be great for cramming.
M: But they're cutting weekend hours! I always study at the library on Saturdays and Sundays. With weekend jobs and family stuff, many of us only have free time on weekends. Plus, late nights aren't healthy – students should sleep, not stay up even later.
W: I see your point. But maybe they think exams are mostly on weekdays?
M: No, the real issue is that they're taking from weekends to give to weekdays. That hurts commuters and part-time workers. They should have found other ways to save money, like reducing new book purchases.
