Dress up as your favorite book character and receive a special treat!
The library will be open to all so be sure to invite your friends that might be interested in checking out what CEL has to offer.
The Summer Reading Challenge prizes are at the front desk! Bring in your reading log/bookmark and you can pick out a prize! The library is open this morning from 10-12 and Saturday afternoon from 2-5.
Please note we do not have a volunteer for Friday 14:30-17:30 and therefore cannot open. If you would like training as a volunteer – or are trained please and haven’t yet signed up for a session please get in touch!
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)
Stop by the library to pick up a reading challenge bookmark or two and start reading your summer away!
All ages welcome to join in!
All participants can pick up a prize at the library from September 17 until October 16.
It doesn’t matter how many books that you read, only that you read so get started!
If you would prefer to print out your bookmarks at home here are the links:
Annual General Meeting:
We would like to announce our AGM for this year on Wednesday May 5 at 7:30 pm.
It is yet to be determined if the meeting will be in person, via Zoom, or a combination.
This meeting is a great opportunity for all of our members to hear what is going on in the administration part of the CEL and to offer opinions and ideas.
We have 1-2 openings on the CEL Board of Directors.
If anyone has interest in joining the board please let us know.
We are particularly in need of someone with PR/marketing skills or strong social media skills.
If you are interested in joining the meeting and/or the board, please send an email to Liz.weiser@celstuttgart.de.
Easter School Holiday closing:
We will be closed from April 1st- 11th during the Easter school holidays.
We will be open and available for Contactless Lending requests beginning the week of April 12th and the first pick up date for new books will be Saturday April 17th.
We wish you all a safe and healthy holiday break.
Keep in mind that this week is the last chance to exchange books and/or return books before the break.

We hope you are all staying safe and healthy.
