Hi Anna, Here in Walsall we have just opened a new library funded by lottery money which does include a café but we have received no suitable applicants to run the café yet!

I would be interested to hear from any other library that has a café operated by an external supplier - do you take a concession, i.e. does the library/council take a percentage share of the supplier's profits if they are over a certain level? If yes, what is the percentage you take? Happy to summarise for the list if there is sufficient response/interest.
