[ISLMA-Share] Coffee Bar in HS Library?

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I have had a coffee bar for three years.  We have two Keurig machines and
offer coffee, capucchios, hot chocolate, and apple cider.  We have had good
success with it, but I'm retiring in 2018 so I'm not sure if it will
continue.  We charge $1.00 for a cup/lid and k-cup; $.75 if they want to
buy just the k-cup; and $.50 if they want to buy just the cup/lid.  We stay
within the limits of the food initiatives.  I have also made a frequent
buyer card so if they purchase 10 beverages, then they get the 11th one
free.  The kids really like it.  Also, the great thing is that the kids are
stopping by the library and many times, grabbing a book to read while
they're waiting for their beverage.  I figure it is a win-win situation for
all!
