Thanks to the generosity of the UWF Emerald Coast Student Government Association the Emerald Coast Library now offers fresh coffee to library visitors. The ECSGA purchased a nice, new coffee urn for the library. Come enjoy your caffeine fix in a pleasant environment while you study. Please remember to make a donation in the cup near the coffee urn to keep the hot java coming.
