The library sent me a "book ready" notice, and, as I had two books to return, and hadn't coffeeneured yet this week, I thought I'd combine the two. Grabbed the sock I am knitting, and headed out.
The library closes at 5 on Sunday, and I zipped in just under the wire. Books managed, I coasted over the couple blocks to Ava. As I noted last year, it is open 24/7 (good if, say, someone is finishing a permanent in the middle of the night), and appears to be very popular with the "I want to study in a coffeeshop with my textbooks and laptop" crowd.
So popular that I locked up in the rack, ordered a pumpkin spice latte, and found an open table outside.

Careful examination of the sock revealed that I only needed 1.5" more knitting before I could start the toe, so I interspersed knitting, drinking, and people-watching. Got to where I could start the toe decreases, and headed home, because toes are easier to knit with double point needles, or a long cable circular needle, and I did not have either with me.
Sadly, looking at the bag I use on the porteur rack, I am again feeling the need to make a somewhat larger and more esthetically pleasing bag. I have the materials, just need to come up with a design and get to it.

Well, I never thought knitting would be a nice add-on activity to coffeneuring! People-watching though, that's an entertaining one. :D
