CEL will be closed on Friday 3rd September
Our volunteer for this Friday has had to step back at short notice for personal reasons, this means we will be unable to open as planned. However, the good news is that we do have a volunteer signed up for the last week of the school holidays on Friday 10th September.
CEL will next be open 14:30-17:30 Friday 10th September
Thank you for your understanding and enjoy the rest of the summer holidays.
Don’t forget – from the 17th September you can collect your Summer Reading Challenge prize! If you haven’t already collected a book mark and sheet – sign up on the 10th for a weekend of reading!
Regarding New Coronavirus Regulations
Dear Members,
Due to new Coronavirus regulations, we must now require proof of the 3G’s for adults to enter and spend time in the library.
This means proof of one of the following:
- vaccination
- recovery
- a negative test (no older than 24 hours for an Antigen test or 48 hours for a PCR test)
Tests are not required for children.
Please, be prepared to show the volunteer on duty your proof.
The rules for masks, keeping distance, and providing contact data either in writing or with the Luca app still apply.
It is not required to show 3G proof to simply return books.
Thank you for your cooperation!
Stay healthy and safe,
The CEL board
Friday Fun tomorrow – and a chance to change your books!

Don’t miss out on the fun book and caterpillar craft at 15:30 at the library!

Dear Members,
The Summer School Holidays are here and CEL will be open on a limited basis.
We have volunteers for Friday afternoons from 2:30-5:30 pm on July 30, August 6, and August 13.
We are still looking for desk volunteers to work for the remainder of Fridays in the school holidays. If you are trained and can help, please, add your name to the doodle.
Without volunteers, we are not able to be open.
Don’t forget about our Summer Reading Challenge! Reading bookmarks and logs are available to pick up at the front desk!
ADVICE NEEDED
As part of our investigation into options for replacing our current library system, we would like to hear from any of our members who have experience setting up Windows Web Server and a VPN on a Windows 10 PC.
(Or if you can write front end GUIs for SQL databases and have lots of time 🙂)
Please e-mail info@celstuttgart.de if you can help.
We wish all our members a health and safe summer holidays,
The CEL Board
