I love this coffee shop. It is in SIU's Morris Library and has hours specific to when the library is open. It is usually closed when the students are off for breaks, too. They have a punch card, so the more drinks you buy, you get one free eventually. The coffee is good, staff is very friendly and they will do special requests. Sometimes you get $1 coffee in late afternoon, which is awesome.
I worked there for several years, retired now. Building Services. Trying to keep it open during the renovation was a challenge...Floods almost every night...There was snakes in the basement!...Seriously because I caught one...Possums too...Went there recently to visit...I couldn't believe what a super job they did...
the large comfy chairs kind of enfolded me!! Peaceful here! Great memories!!
In the '70s it became to me my main, peaceful place to read, absorb and contemplate (meditate). One Sunday, I believe, I fell asleep while reading in one of those large stuffed chairs. When I awoke, it was dark outside, also in the Library. I felt alone. I called out and nobody replied. All exterior doors were locked. I went to the Main Check Out Desk and called Campus Police to please let me out.
it brought back old. memories
It’s clean. Good signage, employees are very helpful and friendly
The makeover made it an attractive space but that is nothing compared to it's former beauty which consisted of a basement and seven floors of Open Stack Library. No amount of computers and coffee shops can compare to a real Library the "geography" of which was layer upon layer, aisle after aisle of books.
