Starbucks & libraries

Listen to this story

McDonald's is lovin' it. The fast food giant said today its sales jumped 2.8% last month. Part of the reason--the new stronger coffee Mickey D's is dishing up for breakfast. Specialty coffee has also been a big draw for bookstore chains like Borders and Barnes & Noble. That's helped siphon business away from many libraries. But now some libraries on the outskirts of Chicago are taking a page out of that playbook. Borzou Daragahi reports: (Photo: Alex Wong / Getty Images)
