\"\"Lamborn converted his old office on the library’s first floor to a student lounge. But the big step was to invite in two coffee vendors for tasting this week which will lead to the installation of an upper-scale coffee vending machine soon.<\/p>\n

"The need for access to a source of refreshment in the Library was apparent and my former office seemed like a reasonable place to put it," Lamborn explained. "In fact, that space seemed much better suited for use as a public lounge\/snack area than as a private office."<\/p>\n

Lamborn moved his office to the same corner of the library but into smaller digs on the second floor.<\/p>\n

The two coffee vendors provided free samples and snacks Thursday and Friday. Students, faculty, and staff were asked to comment on the coffee. Lamborn will select a vendor and have the coffee machine installed in the new lounge. The possibility of a snack vendor will be discussed as well.<\/p>\n

If the steady stream of staff and students Friday morning was any indication, the demand for a cup of coffee with a book will be high.<\/p>\n
