We are going to give away coffee certificates to local coffee places and
mugs with book and library quotes on them for our adult reading club but I
need a clever title for the program. Any clever ideas out there that
combines coffee and books?

I'm showing my age here, but Good to the Last Page??

I was was sitting down to lunch the other day and I had before me a
couple of Hershey's kisses, a cup of coffee, and a book. A colleague
sitting across from me said "Ah, at least two of the four basic food
groups." and I replied "Yes, chocolate, books, and coffee - Life is
Good." (I now that has nothing to do with your request, but perhaps you
could get some chocolate certificates to go along with the coffee.)
:-)

morning!).

Here in Tulsa we call our program "Books and Bagels". It's a winter
program, and we do something very much like what you're talking about. See
further details at:

Jeanne,

I would suggest "Awake and Reading". I don't know how clever it is, but it
does fit!

Thank you, I will keep this on file for later ideas. I did go with "Good to
the Last Page". I just loved the retro-ness of it. We are going to ask our
patrons to do reviews (Espresso yourself!) of the books they read (1or 2
lines) and rate the books (strong & dark{excellent} medium roast{good}
thin&weak[fair}). From those submissions we will do a weekly drawing for
gift certificates for coffee at one of our local coffee shops. (we are
getting good response from them). The patron will also get a punch card.
Every 8 books they read (we punch the card as they read) entitles them to
the prize drawing at the end. Mugs, bookbags and whatever the businesses
give us additionally. We got a mug and a t-shirt so far from two of the
coffee shops.

This assumes that everyone agrees that strong coffee is good and weak
coffee not so. In the interests of diversity I should note that some
of us prefer weak coffee (my wife keeps referring to mine as colored
water).

Of course, sometimes I'm in the mood for books that are thin and
weak too. But still...
