f.) Coffee Lounge Area
The purpose of having it and allowing our patrons to have an extension of our coffee shop was the idea of our Student Council officers with the permission given by the College Secretary and the Dean itself. Having a small coffee shop in the lobby of the library that serves the usual coffees, lattes, etc and a variety of baked goods, soft drinks and so on. They have found it to be a good fit with the library folks who never came to the library due to food and drinks restrictions. Also, it gives our patrons the opportunity to 'hang in there' during study times by giving them a place to bring a cup of coffee or a soda without having to leave the building. But still Coffee Lounge users should have to follow certain rules and regulations regarding the use of this area.
g.) Baggage Depository Area
