Troy Public Library Café Opens & Contest Winner Announced

 

 

(TROY, MI)The Grand Opening of the Troy Public Library’s new vending café “Cup and Chaucer” is scheduled for Monday, June 1 at 6:30 pm. Over 190 entries were received in the “Name the Café” contest and the winner is Alanda Slusser.  Mrs. Slusser will join Mayor Louise Schilling and the Troy City Council for the ribbon cutting ceremony.

 

The sign bearing the name of the café, “Cup and Chaucer” will hang in the library over the café door, with an acknowledgement to Alanda Slusser.

 

The new café will be an informal gathering/meeting space, with vending machines, tables and chairs, and some additional easy chairs, where library users can enjoy refreshments, talk to friends, take a break from studies, and relax!  The café walls were painted by students from the Troy High School art program, who are designing some beautiful pictures for the walls featuring authors or characters from books (i.e. Alice in Wonderland, Edgar Allan Poe, etc.).

 

The Troy Public Library is located at 510 W. Big Beaver Rd.
