[ISLMA-Share] Coffee Bar Pictures

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Our setup is not fancy - we just have a corner of our circulation desk as
our "coffee bar." Some things that have been very helpful: the
container/holder for the k-cups, sugars, creamer, cups, etc. I think I got
it for under $20 on Amazon. We keep a large pitcher of water next to the
Keurig for quick refills (student helpers are our runners to get more water
- we have a sink handy in the next office over). We also keep those large
kind of cheap-o flour sack towels on hand for quick clean-ups.
For now, we make the coffee and collect money from students. At some point
we may use the honor system and let them make their own coffee and put a
money box next to it.
So far it's been kind of fun and a really popular addition to the library!
