Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to respectfully request that the school library be opened for an additional two hours each day, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Currently, many students finish their lessons at 3 p.m. and are unable to utilise the library for research and reading, which hampers our academic progress.
First, studies by the Ministry of Education show that students who spend at least two extra hours a day on independent study improve their exam scores by up to 15 %. Extending the library hours would therefore directly enhance our performance. Second, many of us feel a strong desire to explore books beyond the textbook; the limited time leaves us frustrated and eager for more opportunities. Third, the headmaster's own statement last term emphasized the importance of fostering a reading culture in our school. Aligning with that vision, a two‑hour extension would demonstrate the school's commitment to academic excellence.
In light of these reasons, I kindly ask that the library be opened from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday, starting next month.
Thank you for considering this request. I look forward to your positive response.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to request that the school library be opened for an additional two hours each day, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Currently, many students finish their lessons at 4 p.m. and cannot use the library for study, which limits our learning.
First, research by the Education Board indicates that extra study time improves grades. Second, many students feel bored after school and would welcome more library time. Third, the headmaster's recent speech highlighted the need for more extracurricular activities. Therefore, I kindly ask that the library be opened from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Friday, starting next term.
Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to request that the school library be opened for an additional two hours each weekend day, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. While weekdays are fully scheduled, many students would like weekend access for project work.
Extending weekend hours would give students more flexibility and encourage independent learning.
Thank you for your attention.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to request that the school library be opened for an additional one hour each day, from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. Many students finish lessons at 3 p.m. and would benefit from a short extension.
Studies show that even a single extra hour can help students complete assignments. I hope you will consider this modest request.
Thank you.
