The library in Belen, NM, has a cafeteria, also. Right outside of it is a chess area with multiple playing surfaces where the local chess club meets---in such a "nowheres-ville" place. Like the post above. In the southwest, you chant, "Rain, rain DON'T go away: stay again another day."C.

All libraries should be so civilized, especially to have a coffee shop. I am going to suggest this to my local library!JuliaRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795348297295716491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-20817695504921872632008-07-28T18:11:00.000-07:002008-07-28T18:11:00.000-07:00meggie -- our native aspens are really, really han...meggie -- our native aspens are really, really handsome trees & very popular in landscaping hereabouts.Granny Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07302978680897139954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-87296975724638501592008-07-28T16:18:00.000-07:002008-07-28T16:18:00.000-07:00Those aspen tree trunks are very striking!Those aspen tree trunks are very striking!meggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00061112627819270427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-90300090778797130052008-07-28T12:08:00.000-07:002008-07-28T12:08:00.000-07:00tony -- it's sort of inevitable; one look thro...tony -- it's sort of inevitable; one look through a glass brick & you've got to get out the camera!<BR/><BR/>anon av -- the chamber, you say; my Sson chided me for the same reaction you are having. He says, like, why am I writing so as to encourage more people to move here! He has a point.<BR/><BR/>tombo -- yes, indeed, there is a little cafe; I'm not sure just what the hours are & I haven't patronized it as yet, so I can't comment. Speaking of coffee houses, my favorite Spaghetti Western coffee house on Sheldon has gone belly up. Too bad! I enjoyed their gelato.<BR/><BR/>change -- thank you for enjoying the post.<BR/><BR/>katie -- yes, indeed, coffee! It's an idea adapted from college libraries, as I understand it. A splendid idea.<BR/><BR/>avus -- like I said to tony, what person with a camera could resist those glass bricks!Granny Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07302978680897139954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-18958504715286820352008-07-28T10:48:00.000-07:002008-07-28T10:48:00.000-07:00Like those glass brick piccies - great stuff!Like those glass brick piccies - great stuff!Avushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16512540148378201058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-19337896115873101232008-07-28T09:44:00.000-07:002008-07-28T09:44:00.000-07:00Whoa!

Except I HAVE been there, just a few weeks ago, and I didn't smell the coffee. I will have to scoot down there.<BR/><BR/>I LOVE your pictures.

I haven't been to the library in years (haven't even seen the inside after renovations), but I spent a lot of time there as a kid.<BR/><BR/>That room looking into the courtyard used to be nothing but children's books, and that is where they would have the summer-time reading time where you could take your kid and have one of the parents read to everybody.<BR/><BR/>Good times...TomboCheckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11076931481931258301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-2518475363541023902008-07-28T07:03:00.000-07:002008-07-28T07:03:00.000-07:00Great PR for the library.
