Only issue is that my libraries close 5pm on weekends and 7pm on weekdays. Nothing for night owls.

If there would be enough demand to pay for it, it would stay open longer.

Libraries aren't paid for that demand though

They could be!

Here's a line from my local library's site:

> Our auditoriums are provided as a public service for use by individuals, institutions, groups, organizations, and corporations for a small fee, when not being used for library-affiliated or sponsored activities.

Yeah, I was spoiled by my college town. Libraries open until 2AM, a 24 hour space for students. Even a few cafes downtown open 24 hours a day. Suburb life is mostly fine, but that's one thing I miss most.

Gotta travel 20 miles to downtown for anything resembling night life.
