1 Why cafés still matter
- Early starts: many public libraries open around 10 am (check branch pages), while some cafés open earlier. Verify hours on venue sites before you go. https://www.nlb.gov.sg/main/visit-us/our-libraries-and-locations
- Light background sound can be okay for idea generation and planning, but choose quieter seats for heavy reading. Research suggests moderate ambient noise can help creative work, while silence helps detailed tasks. https://academic.oup.com/jcr/article-abstract/39/4/784/1798770
- Learn better with retrieval practice and spacing (short quizzes, revisit over days). These are evidence-backed and easy to use in short café sessions. https://www.learningscientists.org/downloadable-materials
- Stay comfortable: keep a neutral posture, and take short movement breaks to reduce strain. See official ergonomics guidance for simple setup tips. https://www.osha.gov/etools/computer-workstations
