The University of Virginia’s main library has a Greenberry coffee shop in the lobby.
My UVa grad claims it exists because the university hasn’t figured out a way yet to have a caffeine iv drip for the grad students…

The only tiny problem with that is they may very well have to invent a new fee for coffee spills on materials. I would absolutely LOVE to find a coffee shop in the library up here! They already have like a dozen computers. I could just give the baby to my mom and go to ‘work’ at the library……. Yummy……

My library had a cafe that they closed down and turned into a used bookstore.

Our new (5 year?) library in Eugene Oregon has a coffee place outside (yet inside the building itself) and they also serve bagels, tofu pate on bagels, muffins etc. At first I thought this was weird but when I started to come to the library close to lunch time and didn’t want to leave (and was starving) this was a good place to go. Right next to the coffee place is a used book store that the library owns – people donate books to the library and the better ones that are not needed in the library itself are sold for pennies on the dollar. It is always very busy and I like seeing people enjoying that part of the library also. Most people buy the books, read them and then donate them back. I think cookbooks and travel books are the biggest sellers, followed by how to raise children. You only need those for awhile. Then you just give up. (just kidding!)

I was happy with bookstores having coffee shops inside them, a library would be even better.
