I used to wish that libraries always had fresh baked cookies and endless cups of tea for patrons. I found one library that has a lovely cafe, (with decent snacks and sandwiches) not far away, and within my library system. Another much nearer library has book discussions every month or so, and you should see the food they serve (bowls of fresh fruits, coffee, tea, desserts.) I was pleasantly surprised at the quality, but the quantity floored me. Only a dozen people showed up to discuss books.
There are 47 libraries in my system. I have visited 14 so far. I meant to visit them all this summer, but when gas prices went up, I stuck to libraries that were close by and had the best
quiet study areas.
I am happy not to have to re-shelve. Me and Dewey Decimal never got along that well. I prefer the Harvard Yenching Classification. No, actually I prefer a big random pile of books.

Su Docs are my least favorite to file. I'm jealous to hear your libraries serve goodies. So not fair!
