Coffee and Community

As we go to press, Lauinger Library and The Corp (Students of Georgetown, Inc.) are pleased to announce the opening of The Midnight Mug, a new coffee bar, located in the remodeled community room in the second floor lounge in Lauinger Library. The Midnight Mug will provide a full menu of espresso and flavored coffees, juices, and soft drinks. A limited selection of food will also be offered. This new community gathering space and coffee bar officially opened for business at noon on Tuesday, January 21, 2003. Regular hours of operation will be noon to 2:00 am Sunday to Thursday, and noon to 7:00 pm on Friday and Saturday.

In addition to their partnership to create this new facility, the Library and the Corp will collaborate to schedule events and programming that promote and enhance the sense of community at Georgetown. A minimum of two programs will be scheduled each month during the Fall and Spring semesters that highlight Georgetown scholarship and creativity. Programming may include literary and poetry readings, book talks, discussions about recent student or faculty research and musical performances.
