It's not as quiet as in the library itself, because it's also open to the public(people not buying/renting books).
on the second floor of the cafeteria, there is a wifi spot. You could come with your laptop to just surf,check mails, etc...
It worked quite good for a while, untill some young guys vandalized the wireless modem.

but the idea of like a starbucks attached to your library is like awesome!
This sounds a lot like a Barns and Noble!
