<p>Any school of that size will have plenty of library space on campus where you can carry in your coffee and sit for as long as you want reading. A college library will have subscriptions to every major newspaper and periodical. Some libraries have DVDs available, both scholarly and popular.
I’m perplexed as to why you want a commercial bookstore for the same purpose. Their goal is to sell books, not have you sit around and read them.</p>
