Dear Sir,
Following the student council meeting on 5 September, I write to request an extension of the school library's opening hours during the forthcoming examination period. At present the library operates from 08:00 to 15:00 on weekdays. We propose extending the hours to 07:00-17:00, allowing students additional evening study time.
The extended hours would provide two key benefits: first, they would enable pupils who have after‑school commitments to access quiet study space; second, they would reduce overcrowding during the limited current hours, improving the learning environment.
We respectfully ask for your approval of this proposal and your assistance in informing staff of the new schedule. Your support would greatly enhance our students' preparation for the exams.
Yours faithfully,
