What a great program!

Free coffee for visitors! On Mondays and Wednesdays from 9-10:30am, students from the School of Expressive Arts and Learning - SEAL will be serving locally brewed Spiritus Coffee Co. coffee. This post-high school transition program provides opportunities to gain hands-on experience in customer service and drink preparation. We're excited to have them! Stop by to warm up your fall mornings with a hot beverage.

Can't stop by on Mondays or Wednesdays? Free self-service coffee provided by the Helen Plum Library Foundation will still be available on Tue, Thu, and Fri mornings while supplies last.
