Name the Cafe Space Contest
Paley Library has added a cafe to its newly renovated first floor computing commons. The cafe provides a library space for students to socialize and eat, and also compute since laptops can connect to the wireless network anywhere in the Library building. What the Library cafe doesn't have is a name.
We need our students' help to find a great name for our cafe. To encourage participation the Library and Dining Services are sponsoring a "Name the Space" contest open to all Temple University students. We are looking for the best, cleverest or otherwise catchy name that has a book, reading or library theme to it. There is a great prize for the winner of the contest - an 8 GB ipod. Submit your entry to tudining@temple.edu.

Cafe Name: Sweet Dippin'
I believe that this name is kind of hip in a sort of way for the library and the students.
The Paley Cafe
Cafe Name:
Readers Digest
I think it should be named The Nest, Chill, or The Hot spot. Simple names, because we are college students things are technical enough, we don't want a technical chill spot.
Stacks and Snacks
I think it should be "Dewey Cafe" for the dewey decimal system, "Coffee Reference", or "Olw's Blend".
Café names:
Book Bytes Café, Paley Owl Cove Café, Wise Owls' Library Café, Hungry Owls' Library Corner, Connected Café at Paley, Readers' Café, Paley Goodies, Library Snack, Chat, & Connect (SCC) Café, Refresh: Library Café, Owls' Snack and Study Spot, Bookworm Café, Eats and Treats at Paley, Sweet Bytes at Paley, Paley's Tasty Corner
The Owl's Nest
There used to be a place on campus called The Owl's Nest (mid-late 90's), unless I'm misremembering. I guess it's gone now.
it should definitely be a pun

The Burrowing Owl because it's a kind of owl that is diurnal. Since we'll be getting our caffeine to be awake in the morning, the name is a great match.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burrowing_Owl
Also, if you look on wiki, there's a note about how it showed up as a reference in an '80s band from Philly. And who doesn't like the 80s?
Here's a pic:

That would be The Dead Milkman who referenced burrowing owls in, if I recall correctly, "Stuart."

Aux Deux Hiboux - "the two owls" in homage to the famous literary cafe Aux Deux Magots, "the two magots," which was home to foreign writers such as Hemingway, Stefan Zweig and Bertolt Brecht, among others. Later it served as HQ and salon of writer Jean-Paul Sartre, the father of existentialism and Simone de Beauvoir’s companion.
"Two" is important because the space is for socializing and exchanging ideas. The human social enterprise involves two minds, at least.
And "... cafés are often viewed as “temples” of literary and artistic life, or as the “central nervous system of intellectual or political life” ...

Take A Break
In order to reflect the idea that this is an area for socialization, but within the context of a library (an institution of learning and idea exchange for personal and societal growth), the name should nicely incorporate aspects of relaxation but also valorize reading and learning and intelligent conversation.
