Captain’s Coffee, a coffee shop located in Paul Meek Library at the University of Tennessee at Martin, officially will open with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 9 a.m., Nov. 14.
The event also will include two book signings and musical entertainment and is open to the public.
UT Martin Chancellor Dr. Tom Rakes, Mary Carpenter, library director, and Chris Munkel, Sodexho Dining Services general manager, will take part in the ceremony.
Captain’s Coffee, operated by Sodexho, will offer samples of coffee and hot chocolate, and Captain Skyhawk will give visitors free coffee coupons.
Martin author, Lisa Smartt, will speak briefly and sign her book, “The Smartt View: Life, Love and Cluttered Closets,” from 11 a.m.-1 p.m., in the library lobby.
Smartt writes weekly newspaper columns for the Weakley County Press and Union City Daily Messenger, and regularly speaks to civic, business and Christian groups.
While Smartt has topics that can be adapted for keynotes, weekend retreats or more extensive speaking engagements, don’t ask her to “speak on organizing closets, algebra, scrapbooking, or gourmet cooking.”
J. John Portera will sign his book, “The Note,” a mystery/psychological thriller, from 2-4 p.m., in the lobby.
Portera, who practiced cosmetic dentistry for 30 years before retiring, also has published “Conspirators of Revenge,” another psychological thriller/murder mystery and two works of non-fiction, “Grinning & Grinding: A Collection of American Dental Humor” and “Tribute to a Champion: A Fight for Life.”
From 4:30-5:30 p.m., an acoustical guitar performance is planned by Ezra Nance, of Martin.
Captain’s Coffee offers a variety of coffee, espresso drinks and teas, both hot and iced, and pastries made fresh daily by the Sodexho bakery.
A whole bean coffee and grinder will be available so that patrons can purchase coffee to make at home or their offices.
Also available will be refillable coffee tumblers that can be refilled for a discounted price. Hours for Captain’s Coffee are Monday through Thursday, 7:30 a.m.-midnight, and Fridays, 7:30 a.m.-6 p.m. It is open to the public.
