Libraries are now 3G- this means those aged 18 years and older must be vaccinated, recovered, or a negative rapid test. to come to CEL. There is no change for the kids- school age kids show school ID or a negative test if they are not being tested at school. Children that haven’t started first grade are exempt.

During this time period a new library system will be installed.
All books currently on loan will be moved over to new system and renewed.
Please bear with our volunteers as they get to grips with the new system.

Happy New Year to all of our CEL members.
The library reopens this week after the holiday break with our regular opening hours. Please check our website before coming to ensure the library has a volunteer and is open.
All libraries in Baden-Württemberg remain at the 2G+ level with the requirement of a FFP2 mask for ages 18 and older.
The exceptions to the testing requirement are as follows: a booster, fully vaccinated/recovered in the last 3 months, children under the age of 5 or up to 7 if they haven’t started first grade yet, school age children up to age 17 if they are tested in school and show a school ID.
Best wishes for the New Year and we hope to see you all at CEL soon!
Our 3rd annual CEL Children’s Book Drive was a huge success!
Our 3rd annual CEL Children’s Book Drive was a huge success! 
We collected around 800 books and most of those have been delivered to the various Children’s homes and Child Help Organizations in our region. We have two small deliveries left for next week and then it will be finished for the year.
Today, we delivered books to the two largest Children’s homes in the area and both of the directors mentioned that since the pandemic began the number of donations has decreased significantly and they were beyond grateful to receive so many good, quality books for their children.
A huge thank you to all of you for donating books, telling your friends and neighbors, and for dragging them up those stairs.
It makes a difference and it really spreads joy and sends love to a lot of children that aren’t having an easy start in life.
A heartfelt thank you from me and my family for honoring the memory of Henry with this book drive.
