Adjacent to the cafe is the Loughborough Junction Lounge, a community lounge open during cafe opening hours, including when the library is closed before 10am and during lunchtime. The lounge is a free-to-use space for local people. It is also a warm space. Being a community lounge means that anyone can come in and relax, it is not necessary to buy anything from the wonderful cafe to sit here.
