  1. I am not affiliated with Hopkins but I am a Maryland resident (if that makes any difference). I need to study long hours for a bord exam I'm taking and need a quiet safe place to study. Which of these places you mentioned are open 24/7 or at least open very late into the night?

  2. Hello, The Eisenhower and Brody library buildings are only open until 6pm in the summer. The hours for both buildings are listed at the top of our home page at https://www.library.jhu.edu/. Also, here are things that visitors need to know: https://www.library.jhu.edu/policies/visitor-access-to-msel-brody/. I'm sorry that we're not open for the hours that you asked about, but you're welcome to come while we are open. (The quietest floor is in Eisenhower, down on D-level.) Best of luck on your exam.
