Welcome to my latest post in my “WICHITA IS COOL” series. I’m including cool things in the Wichita Metro as part of Wichita, because, hey, these places wouldn’t be so cool if Wichita wasn’t right there providing people with work, roads, etc., etc. So, IMO, all the little towns around Wichita are really just little neighborhoods of Wichita (I hear some people call these things “the suburbs”).
Today, I wanted to highlight Derby Public Library. This place is great. My family visits this place at least once a week, or any time we’re in Derby and looking to kill time with the kids. For us, it’s conveniently across the street from where Kinder Music is in Derby, so that’s how we discovered it and why we use it so frequently.
Free Coffee. If you love coffee (and why wouldn’t you?) you can get it here, at Derby Public Library, absolutely free. And we’re not talking Folgers (though, I’d drink that too…despite being a lover of high-quality coffee, I’ll drink the cheap stuff too) this is some high-quality stuff. And despite being spat out of a machine, it doesn’t taste watered down like Keurig coffee. I don’t know what’s going on with these machines. Is it drip? Is it grinding it and then doing the k-cup thing and just shooting water over it for a couple seconds? I’m really not sure. I just know it tastes great. And it’s free.
