Would that be tea? Or coffee?
It would have been coffee in the past, but I found that caffeine gives me heart palpitations, so now I boil water in the microwave for my morning oatmeal.

So these aren't so much libraries as museums...?
Both, actually. All of the former president's papers and other relics of his administration are housed there. Tourists look at the nifty presidential stuff while scholars use the library's holdings for research, etc.
Presidential libraries are massive buildings and the cost (hundreds of millions, I'd suppose) is paid for by private donations.
