MidCoast Council is supporting the regions HSC students achieve their study goals.
Council's Forster Library and Taree Universities Campus will remain open exclusively after hours for HSC study nights.
The centres will be open until 8pm and there will be free wi-fi, photocopying, printing and refreshments, snacks and also pizza with the support of Dominoes.
MidCoast Council's Manager of Libraries Community and Cultural Services, Alex Mills, said it's great to be able to help HSC students during this period.
"When the HSC students are so keen to get the dates locked in, it is easy to see how beneficial the nights are for them," he said.
"The HSC can be an extremely stressful period in a young person's life. This is something we can do, provide a safe, quiet place where they can study and keep their bodies fuelled. The program has been running successfully for many years supporting many students who don't have quiet spaces at home."
Forster Library's extended opening hours will be Tuesday nights 23, 30 July and 6, 13, 20 August.
Taree Universities Campus extended opening hours will be Wednesday nights 24, 31 July and 7, 14, 21 August and Thursday 25 July and 1, 8, 15, 22 August.
Students are encouraged to utilise any of the 11 branch libraries across our region and take advantage of the free printing when they receive their HSC Print Card from school.
