Welcome to the Fall 2023 Night Owls guide! The Library is here for you during reading days and finals week to create space for brain breaks, de-stressing, snacks, coffee breaks and so much more! As is tradition, we will also be keeping the building open all day (24 hours!) between Dec 10-14.
Check out the tabs in this guide to see all that the Library has to offer. From Library-hosted events and activities, to study resources and self-care tips, to winter reading recommendations – there's something for everyone!

Night Owls is The Claremont Colleges Library's finals week programming, activities, and events. At the end of every semester since 2015, our goal has been to provide opportunities for brain breaks, snack breaks, de-stressing, and relaxation while working on final exams and projects.
For Fall 2023, we are excited to offer longstanding programs such as Craft Night and Owl See You in the Stacks to help you incorporate breaks into your time spent at the Library, as well as offer events that set you up for success during finals, such as Fireside Writing and Stop & Breathe (30 minutes of light stretching and deep relaxation).
Community Access Blackout Dates: Tuesday, December 5 - Thursday, December 14.
In order to prioritize access to the Library for students, staff, and faculty of The Claremont Colleges during the last week of classes and finals week, only current Claremont Colleges students, faculty, and staff will be admitted to the Library from 12/5-12/14. Please be sure to bring your college ID when entering the Library.
