A thank you and the promise of snow on Friday @ CEL

10 December 2019Newswebmaster

A big heartfelt thank you to all who donated books and helped spread the word about our Children’s Book Drive!

We collected more than 300 books plus 75 pixie books. We were able to donate books to three different organizations- the SOS Kinderdorf, the Sophienpflege Jugendhilfe in Tübingen, and Jugendhilfe Korntal. Our contacts at the three organizations were so grateful and happy to receive these books for the children in their care.

Thank you once again for your help in making our first annual Children’s Book Drive a success! 🎄🎅📚❤️🎅🎄

Let’s make it snow at CEL!
Join us for Friday Fun this week to make some paper snowflakes ❄
Story at 3:30, then craft to follow

Save the date: Wine & Cheese Night, Friday, January 31, 2020

9 December 2019Eventwebmaster

Join your fellow CEL members for an evening of wine, cheese and fun party games! It’s a wonderful way to ward off the post-holiday blahs and get to know some library patrons you don’t bump into during our regular opening hours.
Thinking about introducing someone to the library? Bring them along!

Please bring plenty of good cheer along with one food item. More details on which item we’ll ask you to bring (such as wine, cheese or water) will be shared with you directly in mid-January.

This event is complimentary for CEL members. Non-member guests are asked to make a €2 donation to the library.

RSVP (including how many are in your party) by Sunday, January 12 by emailing cheeseandwine@celstuttgart.de.

December’s Spotlight is on Hugh Lofting

6 December 2019Author of the Monthwebmaster

Hugh Lofting is the creator of beloved character, Dr. Dolittle. Lofting is a British author who was a civil engineer before he became a children’s author. Lofting served in the British Army in WWI and instead of writing to his children about what he was experiencing, he wrote imaginative stories to them that became the basis for Dr. Dolittle. Lofting’s Dolittle books are found in the JF area of the library. Come check one out today!
