Proposed Library Café Menu

The proposed library café, Puertas del Sur, aims to enrich the palate just as effectively as the library’s art collection feeds the eyes, the music collection feeds the ears, and the engineering collection feeds that really serious and organized part of the brain that most of us lack.

Following an extensive study, the librarians have determined that many university courses can be supported online through the use of the library’s collections of e-books, electronic journals, and scholarly databases. Unfortunately, none of the library’s digital initiatives have resulted in a satisfactory electronic alternative to traditional analog food. As a result there will be no e-café option on the library website at this time. The library will collect patron feedback on the proposed menu through April 1, 2011.

If you are interested in a sampler of other offerings in the library that will be in place after April 1, please click here.
