Cafe au Library?

It seems to be a great trend amongst the powers that be at the moment to suggest that every library worth its salt has a cafe attached. Indeed, some of the best libraries do have cafes, and this is no bad thing. I quite like the idea of arriving to the smell of coffee, and Carrot Passion cake during tea break is not to be sniffed at, although my cardigan size may increase alarmingly. Neither do I object to possible spillages and sticky fingers - people may as well dribble and crumble cakes over MY (mine, my precious...mine) books here as well as at home.
My main gripe is that people will simply say - "Failing library? Let's put a cafe in!" Then all you have is a failing library with a cafe attached. The library should be the main attraction - if you can stay and enjoy a cup of skinny macchiato with chocolate whip and marshmallows then so much the better, but this should not be the reason people visit. Lure them in with the smell of coffee by all means, but keep them there with great library services, the books they want, and the environment to enjoy them in.
The other problem is what people expect from a coffee shop - we held a charity coffee morning a couple of weeks ago, and believe me, you may get over 500 coffee combos at Starbucks, but that's nothing compared to Mrs Ramsbottom and her "squeeze the teabag three times, stir it clockwise, put in three and a third teaspoons of sugar, then just a smidge of milk (semi-skimmed) (smidge being an ancient Yorkshire measurement) blue cup and matching unchipped saucer, and a rich tea biscuit, but not one from the end of the packet because they are always broken. Thank you kindly." I defy even the most experienced barista and tea pourer to satisfy her!
Now, where is my muffin tin?
