All participants can show their reading log to the volunteer at the desk and receive a prize anytime in that first month of the Fall semester. All ages are welcome – read yourself or have someone read to you! We hope you have a good summer of reading! ☀️🏖📚💕
We would like to invite all members to join us at the Katzenbacher Hof on Saturday July 16th from 11-3. There is a cash only food and beverage kiosk, picnic tables and a large playground. We will have a few organized activities and plenty of time to socialize with and meet other members. We hope you can join us!
Regarding Corona Regulations- masks are now optional at CEL. Please, only visit the library if you are healthy and symptom free.
German summer school holidays begin on July 27th until September 11th. During this time we will try to be open on Friday afternoons depending on volunteer availability.
Wish you all a sunny summertime and happy reading! ☀️📚🏖🌻🌈
The CEL Board
Workshop – Violet Van winkle is an inventor with a flair for the air!
“If only the kids at school knew that Violet could create flying machines- glorious contraptions like the tub-bubbler and the Wing-a-ma-gig- they might not tease her the way they do. Could the upcoming Air Show be her chance to show her stuff?”
Dear CEL Members,
Join us Saturday afternoon on June 25th Start time: 3pm for a workshop which will include: listening to a read-aloud of the book “Violet the Pilot”, discussing themes in the book, such as staying true to yourself and not giving up, as well as creating paper airplanes!
Please send an email to workshops@celstuttgart.de if you a are CEL member and your primary school aged child/children would like to attend. Don’t forget to include the first and last name along with their age. There are 8 spots available for this workshop. Hope to see you there!
Kind regards,
Michele with CEL
