YOUNGSTOWN
Cafe Augustine, located in the Newport Public Library, 3730 Market St. is having its grand opening at 10 a.m. Oct. 12.
The cafe is a four-month personal growth and work-readiness program operated independently of the library.
The food service establishment aims to equip adults, ages 18 through 24, with tools necessary to change their lives, in part by operating the cafe.
The Rev. Edward Brienz of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Youngstown is the cafe’s executive director.
The cafe is working with and modeled after Cafe Reconcile, a cafe that opened in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina.
