Coffee shop now open at the main library

Do you smell that? It’s the won­der­ful aroma of freshly brewed cof­fee and it is once again waft­ing through the Delaware County Dis­trict Library’s Main Branch, located at 84 E. Win­ter St. That’s right — the cof­fee shop in the library has once again opened, under new management.

Café Boaz serves deli­cious Crim­son Cup cof­fee, brewed to per­fec­tion. You can get a vari­ety of fla­vor shots added to your cup, too. They also offer spe­cialty cof­fee drinks, such as vanilla latte, cafe mocha, white mocha, cafe latte, cap­puc­ci­nos and iced cof­fee drinks, too.

If you’d pre­fer a cof­fee alter­na­tive, how about a hot choco­late freeze or a fruit smoothie? Chai latte or fla­vored teas are also on the menu, along with juice, pop, bot­tle water and an array of snacks.

Café Boaz is open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mon­days through Fri­days, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays.

Remem­ber: Drinks with lids are per­mit­ted in the library, so stop by Café Boaz today, pick up some­thing yummy to drink, and then relax with a good book in one of the comfy spots in the library.

While you’re enjoy­ing a great cup of cof­fee at the library, check out these books due out in the month of October.
