Halloween Party and Children’s Book Drive
Hello Members and Volunteers,
Our 7th annual Children’s Book Drive starts on Saturday November 1st and runs until Saturday November 29th. We are collecting new and gently used German language children’s books for ages 0-18. The books will be donated to children’s homes and organizations that support families in our community.
Ways you can help: donate books, tell friends and neighbors, donate sturdy shopping bags (for delivery), purchase books from the wishlist (to be shared as we receive requests from the organizations).
We appreciate all of your help and support for our Book Drive! We hope to send out some love and good cheer to children and families in our community during the holiday season. ❤️📚❤️
Don’t forget this Saturday November 1st is also our Halloween Party from 1-5 pm!
We are still looking for bakers and volunteers to help out.
Please sign up on the Nuudel if you can help out. https://nuudel.digitalcourage.de/celhalloween2025
Don’t forget on Friday 31st October we are open from 14:30-17:30 only. There will be a batty Friday Fun to join in with.
Thank you to all who donated items for our Kinderbasar sale last weekend! It was a big success and we raised 164€ for the library! 🎉
