Coffee and a Newspaper

December 31, 2015

Do you remember how the Internet was going to kill libraries? It may be happening in some places, but I was in the main B'game library this week and it was pleasantly busy. The remodel gives it a bit more of a communal feel and the imminent arrival of the cafe will add to that feel. With Philz about to open a block away, I wonder what brand(s) the library will be serving? The sign that says Fika is a Swedish reference to "coffee break", but that may or may not translate to using the Gevalia brand.

While you are grabbing a coffee, the kids can turn in their poems:
Haikus, sonnets, odes and a variety of different genres of poetry will come into focus over the first month of the new year at the Burlingame Library.
Local students between kindergarten and fifth-grade are encouraged to create their own original work and present it at the children’s desk at the library, 480 Primrose Road, in exchange for a new book of poems.
