When I want to work outside the office, I prefer the public library for exactly this reason.

I prefer the pub, but there are obvious drawbacks. As long as you can stick to slightly less than two drinks it's okay though.
I would love to as well - it's quiet and you can take a break to read a book whenever you want.

The problem with our library is that even though they have a 100mb internet connection, they filter everything. You can't use Git or SSH for example, so it does me no good as a place to work.

Does the public library sell coffee?

(There's an Enoch Pratt branch directly across from my favored coffee place in Roland Park, which would be just dandy if it didn't have the weirdest opening hours known to man. Closed on Thursdays and Sundays? Who does that?)

No, mine does not.
my public library does not allow coffee inside :(
