I, along with so many of the library patrons here where I work for another month (!), have been bemoaning the loss of the library coffee shop for years. Unfortunately, for most of its existence, the coffee shop wasn't all that great. A chain with mediocre coffee, bad food, and deteriorating management, it still added a little warmth and city complexity to the library. So, since it was gone, and maybe even a bit before that, I harbored the fantasy of putting a good quality coffee bar right into the library. Surely I have articulated my plans for such a thing here. Not believing in outsourcing I felt the coffee stand could be staffed by interested library staff throughout the day, and it could be priced at a self-sustaining rate.
It's too late for this sort of thing to happen at my library. And certainly it is too late for me, but I thought I would offer my parting shot at this small dream...

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
