Coffee, Tea, or Milk?

The library is set once again for a period of change. Last October we ventured into new territory by offering beverages and snacks in the library. We did a lot of research and talked to other libraries offering this service, but you never really know about something until you try it for yourself. This was new territory for our contractor too and, unfortunately for us, she has decided that the coffee business might not be for her.

I have to say that I am disappointed, especially since we are moving the kiosk to a new, more prominent spot in the library. But we have advertised for a new contractor and I am hopeful that we will have a coffee bar in the Library on a permanent basis.

One of the difficulties we have run into is knowing when to have refreshments available and what type of refreshments those should be. So, what do you think? If you are a user of the library, tell us what you would like. If you aren't a user of the library, tell us what you treat yourself to at the bookstore. Maybe we can offer something similar and save you some money on books too!
