'Pulleys at Porter' Cafe Coming to Porter Library

Westlake Porter Public Library’s Board of Trustees has selected SAW Inc. to fill the café space at the library. 

SAW – Solutions at Work – is a nonprofit organization which employs and trains individuals with developmental disabilities. SAW will operate the café as "Pulleys at Porter." 

WPPL and SAW are currently negotiating a contract for the space with an eye toward opening in June.

SAW was selected as the new café after a two-month long process that began after the previous café closed in February. The process included submission of proposals to the library board, a tour of the café facility and interviews by a board committee.

“We are delighted to be working with an organization whose mission is so closely complements our own,” Porter Library Director Andrew Mangels said. “And we know our customers will be delighted by their offerings.”

The café will offer a variety of sandwiches and fresh salads, as well as breakfast pastries and drinks. Mangels added that Pulleys at Porter’s grand opening will be announced when the date has been set.
