I'm not sure I would personally utilize it, but it would be especially useful for those with mobility issues or time constraints. I love the atmosphere of libraries and wouldn't miss out on wandering the aisles for anything, but I can see the possible usefulness of such a program.

Again, I am thrilled about the cafe idea. I wouldn't really want or need to take the coffee out of the cafe area -- I'm having horrible visions of wrecked computer keyboards -- but I would love to sack out with a magazine or just checked-out stack of books in a cafe setting without leaving the library. In the best of all possible worlds, the vendor would be a local coffeeshop owner like Common Grounds, etc. -- it would be nice to see a local businessperson benefit in place of a corporate giant.
