The Portland Mercury wrote a blog post about Library Hours yesterday, generating 40 comments by today! Some people were upset by the idea, which is good, it strikes a cord!

The following bars were suggested: Side Door, Gilt Club, Goodfoot, Fuel Cafe, Virginia Cafe, McMenamins smaller places, Beulahland, Bye and Bye, Belmont Inn. Some of those are likely too busy, but I'll ask!
