Bring Your Own Cup!
Free Coffee in the Library

In Fall 07 the Libraries Outreach Committee started a free coffee campaign during midterms, dead week and finals week. The idea was to offer you a break from studying and give you a boost--after all, we know how hard exam time can be! The coffee was gone so quickly during the first hour of our campaign that we knew we were onto something good; the problem was, of course, $$$$$$.

Lucky for us and for you, we appealed to the Associated Students for help with funding, and they came through brilliantly. The A.S. Legislative Council offered to fund our coffee campaign throughout the quarter. Thanks to them, we were able to buy two extra-large coffee makers, so we can keep 200 cups of hot joe available until midnight.

Because we're all making an effort to conserve and recycle, we've named our campaign Bring Your Own Cup! Please bring a coffee cup with a lid and have some hot coffee during our next campaign.

Thank you, A.S.!

"Sweet, Thank you so much!"

"KEWL"

"I love coffee, thanks, very helpful..."
 
"Thanks G Funk!"

"Thank you! You're a life saver do this more often "

"Kudos to whoever thought this up!"

"You guys should have sandwiches and milkshakes too!! Jk... You guys rock!"

"WERD! I LUV YOU!!"

Great touch to the ambience!

Thanks a lot! This was really nice of you!
 
"You should up the caffeine level!"     We totally agree. We'll make it stronger next time.

"Flavored creamer"   What flavor?

"Do this more often"   It's a lot of work...want to help? We're having fun with this, though, so maybe we will : )

"It'd be good if you also had tea"   Good suggestion!

"Much appreciated!!!! Thank you! Not Starbucks..but AWESOME!"   You're welcome. We're definitely getting better coffee next time; probably Peet's but maybe RoCo.

"Thank you!!! (Hot chocolate also?)"   You're welcome. We thought about that too. Thanks for the suggestion!
