Bud’s Library Café is opening in the lobby of the Oak Ridge Public Library , offering coffee, drinks and snacks to library patrons and visitors. City officials, library staff and representatives from Bud’s will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 21, at the library, located at 1401 Oak Ridge Turnpike. “The café responds to a long-standing request from Library patrons for convenient access to coffee, drinks, and snacks,” Oak Ridge Public Library Director Julie Forkner said in a news release. “The city’s original request for qualifications for café services specifically identified refreshments as one of the Library’s most requested amenities.” The café was designed by Clark Nexsen with input from Bud’s owner Anne Holland and is on the east side of the library’s lobby. The renovation converted existing lobby space into a coffee bar and café with new casework, plumbing fixtures and equipment, flooring, paint and lighting. “We’re excited to bring Bud’s Coffee Shop into the Library and create another welcoming place for people to connect,” Holland said. The café is planned to operate from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Library officials are asking visitors to purchase
