Coffee Connect

What to Expect

• 1.Arrive a few minutes early to grab a coffee and gauge the crowd; the library layout makes mingling happen in the lobby and cafe areas.
• 2.Have a 30-second intro and a couple open-ended questions ready so you can break the ice without sounding forced.
• 3.Conversations will happen in small groups—feel free to hop between tables as topics shift and you meet different people.
• 4.Be mindful of library etiquette: speak softly, keep voices down in study areas, and stack your conversations when someone needs quiet.
• 5.If you’re new, introduce yourself to the librarians or staff; they’ll point you to folks with similar interests and local groups.
