What you can expect at Café Louie?

Café LOUIE is designed to be an informal gathering of civic minded individuals interested in meeting with their elected officials to discuss local issues. After a brief introduction of elected officials and special guests, a trained facilitator will direct your questions to officials for comment and discussion.

Innovation

Café LOUIE highlights the library’s role as community convener—providing a safe space for citizens to come together to address critical issues affecting our city. It also provides an opportunity to demonstrate to legislators that libraries continue to be vital and vibrant neighborhood places. By promoting the civil exchange of ideas, libraries also help to strengthen the intangible bonds that weave together a true community.
