Friday Fun will be happening this week!!
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
Come out and enjoy the great weather with us on Friday, July 23rd – sunshine and fresh air will hopefully allow us to gather without too much worry and enjoy time together…
Rhyme Time in the Park – 10:00 – singing for little ones and their adults
Friday Fun in the Park – 15:30 – We’ll be reading The Three Little Javelinas and then we’ll have a blast playing some water games! Look for the CEL Summer Reading in the Park sign and don’t forget a change of clothes!
Both events will take place in the Stadtpark Vaihingen – just behind CEL so you can pop by and change your books at the same time.
(If you are not yet a CEL member please come and join at the library before attending the events)
