Our Summer Reading Challenge Starts on July 1st. The reading logs will be available to pick up at the library. All ages are welcome to participate- read yourself or have someone read to you! See more details on the flyer below.

Don’t forget this Saturday is Yoga in the Park at 2pm in the Vaihinger Stadtpark. All ages welcome. Please bring a towel or blanket to place under your yoga mat. No sign up required. After the yoga class, stop by the library and exchange your books!

“Blind Date with a Book” Event for Adults – Friday 5th May 19:30

You’re Invited!

Open to all CEL members.
How “Blind Date with a Book” works:
  1. Bring a book you’re ready to part with, but wrap it up so no one can tell what it is.
  2. Include a few clues to give everyone a sense of what it is without unveiling the title, author, or cover.
  3. At the event, everyone will select a book and go home with a new read!
Please RSVP to me via email  blinddate@celstuttgart.de so we know how many people to expect. See you on May 5!

Alex

PS Don’t forget this Saturday morning from 10-12 is our annual Spring Clean at the library. We would appreciate all the help we can get! There will be coffee and donuts! 🧼🪣🧹🧽☕️🍩☕️🍩
