SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Friends of the Saratoga Springs Public Library will cut the ribbon on its new Coffee Shop at 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, July 12.
The Coffee Shop is on the first floor of the Saratoga Springs Public Library, located at 49 Henry St.
The Grand Opening celebration will run from noon to 5 p.m. and will feature a raffle and giveaways.
The Friends Coffee Shop will sell hot and cold beverages and a variety of snacks, as well as baked goods from The Bread Basket, a Saratoga-based member of the Business For Good family of companies, that donates all profits to charities fighting food insecurity and hunger.
The Coffee Shop is the newest retail establishment run by The Friends of the Saratoga Springs Public Library. The Friends Book Shop also is located on the library’s first floor. The Friends have supported the programs, staff, and facilities of the library since 1976 and fund such programs as Saratoga Reads and Summer Reads, helped secure a new van, funded a 3-D printer, and defrayed the costs of staff development and facility upgrades during the pandemic.
Community support is primarily generated through Friends membership and the Friends Book Shop, which was founded in 1994 to generate income while providing the community with affordable reading material and a convenient, meaningful way to upcycle used books.
