Good afternoon,

In a few years, our library's front entryway will be renovated. At that time, we'd like to add a small cafe for our patrons to use. If your library has a cafe, can you please respond to the following questions and email me off-list at rebekah.craft@baldwinlib.org?

Thank you for your feedback!

Rebekah

Does your library currently house a cafe or has it ever housed a cafe?

Why types of food and beverages does/did your cafe offer?

What was/is the approximate size of the cafe?

If you cafe has closed, how long was it open to the public?

If your cafe has closed, why did it close?

If your cafe was/is managed and staffed by an outside company, did/do you have any issues?

Is your library within walking distance to coffee shops or cafes?

What is the approximate distance of the closest coffee shop or cafe to your library?

Are there any specific populations that your library serves that helped/helps to make your cafe a valuable resource to your community?

If you've visited another library out of state that had a cafe, what library was it?
