  • Check today’s date on the Steen Library Hours page before you go.

  • If you need a study room or a floor-specific space, confirm that space’s hours too.

What time does the library close?

The Ralph W. Steen Library at Stephen F. Austin State University does not have one fixed closing time. Its live hours page shows different closing times by date and by space, including First Floor, Upper Floors, and study rooms, so you need the current day’s listing for the exact closing time.

  • The live hours page is the official source for the current day’s closing time.
  • The library’s main page points students to the Library Hours page for up-to-date access information.
  • During fall and spring semesters, ID cards are required for access between 10 p.m. and 7:30 a.m., Sunday through Friday.

How to confirm today’s closing time

Open the Steen Library Hours page and check the row for today’s date. If you are planning to stay late, also check whether you need an ID card for after-hours entry during fall and spring semesters.

  • Use the library’s official hours page rather than an old schedule or social post.
  • If you need a study room or a specific floor, verify that space’s hours separately.
  • The library contact and visiting pages also link back to the hours page for current details.
