    There are still a ton of “third places” – restaurants, bars, and coffee shops are everywhere. They just cost too much money for a lot of people.

      Restaurants, bars are part of number first one. Coffee shops to me close early. Never seen one open at 10pm+

      The library having games and such would be nice. They likely would run into the issue that thoae unfortunate would turn up and try to stay all night every time to get out of the cold/rain/heat.

      Bars usually manage to bounce them without issue due to them not being paying customers. Getting bounced by a librarian does sound kind of cool though.

        Homelessness is a problem everywhere. Libraries already struggle with it being a public place, so it would just extend into the night.

        Would love something like this!

      Cafes near me don’t open late a lot of the time. They close at about 5pm. So if you want some place to hang out after work? You have no choice other than a bar.

      I hate it.
