Adding a small café area for a quick drink or snack.

The café will be a small area to grab a drink or snack (it will be located where the reference desk is currently located). This is a community space, and a coffee/tea area is a common feature of today's libraries. People often spend a lot of time here. If a patron wants to take a break from studying while remaining in the library, we want to abe able to accomodate that. It will not be a restaurant.
There will be comfortable seating and tables that will be easy to clean and sanitize; and of course charging stations.
The new partition will make it easy to restrict food and drinks to allowable areas only, including the new outdoor terrace during the warm weather months .
We anticipate that we'll have several options regarding food choices, keeping dietary restrictions in mind.
This project would begin after the completion of the partitioning of the Main Reading Room.
