Night before Mardi Gras day

The library is opened on the day before Fat Tuesday, a day all students, faculty and staff have off (Fat Tuesday, that is.) I'm so bored I can barely stand myself. I've been here since 6:00pm and I've been asked 2 questions. I don't see much point to being opened on Monday and then closed Tuesday. Why can't we have Monday off as well? Do you think I could be any whinier?
