On Easter Sunday, April 20, the USC Upstate Library will begin its overnight and extended hours schedule for the end of spring term and final exams. The library will be open 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, to accommodate your study, research, and computing needs. The library will also have extended hours on select Friday evenings and will be open its regular hours on Saturdays as well.

Here’s the end-of-semester schedule:

  • Sunday, April 20: Library opens at 2 pm and remains open continuously until Friday, April 25, at 12 midnight (24-hour schedule)
  • Saturday, April 26: Library is open from 10 am to 5 pm
  • Sunday, April 27: Library opens at 2 pm and remains open continuously until Friday, May 2, at 12 midnight (24-hour schedule)
  • Saturday, May 3: Library is open from 10 am to 5 pm
  • Sunday, May 4: Library opens at 2 pm and remains open continuously until Tuesday, May 6, at 12 midnight (24-hour schedule)

This schedule is based on available staffing and therefore is subject to change.

When the library is closed, students can get research help through the Ask a Librarian chat service. This service is staffed by real people (not bots!) and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The exhibit is centered around the phrase, "Good trouble, necessary trouble,' coined by late U.S. Representative and beloved American civil rights leader, John Lewis, who once stated that engaging in "good trouble, necessary trouble" was important to achieve change.

Featured in the exhibit are a range of colorful poster portraits of these leaders, including the following:

  • Jackie Robinson, American baseball player and civil rights advocate
  • Judith Heumann, lifelong American disability rights activist
  • Mohandas K. (Mahatma) Gandhi, Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist, and political ethicist who employed nonviolent resistance
  • Shirley Chisholm, American politician and economic, civil, and women's rights activist, who was the first Black woman elected to Congress and the first Black candidate for a major party nomination for President of the United States
  • Nelson Mandela, South African anti-Apartheid activist, political prisoner, politician, and statesman
  • Greta Thunberg, Swedish environmental activist
  • Harvey Milk, American politician and Gay rights activist, who in 1977 became the first openly Gay man elected to public office in California
  • Autumn Peltier, Anishinaabe Indigenous rights advocate and water conservationist from Canada

These poster portraits were created by Mr. Johnson Paints, an artist, educator, and online retailer from Minneapolis, Minnesota. They will be on view in the library through Fall 2024.
