A new initiative combines the joy of reading with the comfort of coffee in Eau Claire. The L.E. Phillips Memorial Public Library and SHIFT Cyclery & Coffee Bar are launching "Library on the Loose," a monthly pop-up event. This program aims to create a cozy space for community members to enjoy library services while sipping on delicious drinks and snacks.
• The pop-up will take place on the second Saturday of each month from December to April.
• Attendees can open a free library account, check out books, and receive research assistance.
• The events will feature outreach kits with fun activities like painting and puppet making.
• SHIFT will offer organic baked goods and a warm atmosphere for all ages.
This collaboration highlights the growing trend of libraries partnering with local businesses. It provides a unique opportunity for community engagement, encourages reading, and helps combat winter blues. By merging literature with a café vibe, this initiative fosters a love for books in a relaxed setting.
