Are there any local authors whose names might work in?


I'm still a bit new to the area but I don't think so. Well, Dean
Martin's son wrote a book! (This is Las Vegas.)

Mark Twain lived and wrote in the state for a while tho. I've
been digging thru some Twain stuff to see if I can come up with
something.

What does the cafe sell? That would help with the naming.


Muffins from a local bakery. Juices. Water. Fruit and fruit cups.
Frappuccino. Coffee & tea (99% teacher sales on coffee & tea).
Hot chocolate and hot cider. Pickles! (They're popular.) Noodles.

This year the jazz band will occasionally play and we will have
open mic sessions for poetry.

We also have a distinct "southwest environment" in the main
part of the library (we're located in the Mojave Desert). We had
originally considered a sw theme for the cafe (e.g. Javelina Cantina ).
But we've decided to try for a lit connection....

The Canterbury Tables

Lord of the .?

Frappuccino and Juliet

All Quiet on the Library Front

Brave New (name of HS) Cafe

Of Muffins and Men

Rip Van Mojave

To Kill an Appetite

The Divine Snacketeria

The Cauldron (after the witches 'brew' in 'Hamlet' g) ?

Hill o' Beans (with a little graphic of a steaming mug on stop of a hill
shaped stack of books)?

Perk-y Words?

Bon Mots and Mocha?

Okay, off topic and a little weird... but there are lots of clever
people here so I thought I'd ask.

I'm trying to come up with a new name for the little cafe we run
in our h.s. library. We want the name to have a "literary bent."
For example, I saw a cafe called "Cup and Chaucer" once and thought
that was clever. Doubt most of our students would make the connection
but you get the idea.

Bakes & Books or Books & Bakes
Chew & Chapter or Chapter & Chew
The Bookcase
The Muffin, the coffee and the bookshop ( A play on the Lion, the witch
and the wardrobe?!)
The Coffee Index

Sorry I'm not very creative.

Actually you are 'very' creative. All really good suggestions. Especially
"The Bookcase" If I was going to name a H.S. library I would readily
consider: The Index Cafe, (from your idea)

"If I'd known you were coming, I'd have booked a cake"?

Cookie Bookie Nookie? No, that sounds as though they'd be groping each other at
the tables, like that teashop in the latest Harry Potter.

Bookery Bakery?

The Metaphor Cafe sounds nice, and people could say "Meet you at the Met." Dang
it, I just googled and there's a real one of those in Escondido, CA. Maybe Cafe
Trope. Iambic Cafe. Pentameter Cafe. Cafe Villanelle. But this is getting out
of most high school territory (they *do* still learn about iambic pentameter?
maybe not -- I remember having to sit through explanations of it in two or
three different college classes).

I love the book of the month club - so many directions you can take that!

Call it "Table of Contents" and then make the menu like the table of
contents for a book.

You can call it "Darwin's selection" (The was once a captain (Fitzroy) who
brought a companion along his little boat (called the "Beagle") who wrote
a
few books on nature and natural selection after the trip, so he is a
famous
author). Darwin also wrote a famous treatises on earthworms and coral
reefs,
too.

You can call it "Tolkien's Tales" or "canaberry tales" and have the drinks
and food named after characters in Tolkiens or Chaucer's books. And serve
the foods that they ate in Bree or Caneberry, like cakes.

You could have it called the "Book of the month club" and have each class
come up with a new book to theme to cafe. The best theme gets a party with
the proceeds from the cafe for the year, or each class gets a party with
the
proceeds from the cafe for the month. That way, each class has to do
something literary on their own.

All the best,

Jeff
