News from CEL – Save the date: World Book Day event
Saturday, March 7, 2020
Imagine: every child and young person having a book to call their very own. That’s the vision of World Book Day. It’s one we’re delighted to support since libraries like ours provide an irreplaceable hub for community reading experiences. Celebrate with us!
Join us for an afternoon of readings from books around the world, crafts and collaborative storytelling activities. And treat yourself to some goodies at our bake sale… because it’s no fun reading on an empty stomach. The event will run from 1-4pm, while the library will remain open until 5pm.
Mark your calendars and please stay tuned for more details!
(we know the logo shows a different date – schools in the UK celebrate World Book Day on the Thursday – we aren’t open so we are going for the Satruday 7th March)
Join us for wine, cheese and fun on Friday, January 31!
Unwind after a long week with an evening of wine and cheese at the library! Join your fellow CEL members for a collaborative game of “Famous Couples Throughout History”. It’s a fun way to get to know some library patrons you don’t see during our regular opening hours. And why not bring along a friend and introduce them to our all-volunteer library?
All you need to participate is yourself and a smile. We’ll also contact you directly about one consumable item to take (such as wine, cheese or water).
This event is complimentary for CEL members. Non-member guests are asked to make a €2 donation to the library.
When: Friday, January 31, 7:30-10:30pm
Where: Traubergstrasse 30
RSVP: January 15 – please email cheeseandwine@celstuttgart.de and tell us how many are in your party.
Hope to see you there!

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

Did you know there are 10 Gingerbread Men hiding in our Library?
Go on a hunt and see if you can spot all 10 gingerbread men hidden in the library! Tell the volunteer at the desk how many you spotted and get a little treat!
Are you ready for the CEL Open Day?
And as they gazed, they sniffed and sighed.
“The library is big and the world is wide!
How I long to play!”
Said the children that day.
Not long now! The CEL Open Day is just around the corner – October 19. Join us from 10am to 4pm for games, songs, crafts, readings and fun throughout the day as we celebrate the contribution Julia Donaldson has made to children’s literature.
(Our CEL Open Day posts have featured slightly adapted verse from The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom and The Snail and the Whale. Did you catch it?)
See you soon!
This Friday…
FRIDAY FUNTIME
We’ll be making tissue paper kites this Friday at the library to celebrate the gusty autumn weather. Join us for this fun activity!
Book from 330pm, activity straight after.
NB: I WILL be handing out some fun-size chocolates because i simply cannot figure out any other way to make kite tail bows – trust me, i thought about it heaps – chocolates will be necessary 😋
Hopefully see you there!
Volunteers needed…
The CEL Open Day is on October 19 and we’re still looking for volunteers to help with activities as well as library management. We could also use some cake donations to support our bake sale.
If you’ve been looking to get involved with the library, this is an excellent opportunity. Meet other members and experience everything the library offers our community.
Simply reply “I’ll volunteer” to openday@celstuttgart.de and we’ll be in touch.
