A big thank you to all who were involved in the open day on Saturday, both volunteers and visitors. I’ve just added up our takings on the cake stand and I’m pleased to say we made 233€!!!!
That means we can order some fab new books 📚
CEL will be closed from Saturday 26th October until Saturday 2nd November inclusive for the school holidays. We will be open on Friday 8th November.
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.
With the start of the school year, the Summer Reading Challenge has come to an end! ☀️📚☀️
Bring your reading log to the library, show it to the desk volunteer and get your prize and certificate beginning tomorrow through Saturday October 12th!
Stop by the library on Saturday September 21st anytime from 3:00-4:30 for a LEGO Challenge! Spin the wheel or pick a card to test your LEGO skills! All ages welcome and no need to sign up! Hope to see you there! 🚗🚀🚤🏠🐊
Good news is – a volunteer has turned up! We will be open on the morning of Friday 13th September 10:00-12:00 as usual!
Due to lack of a volunteer we will sadly be closed on Friday morning, 13th September, there will also be no Rhyme Time this week.
However, we will be open in the afternoon and you can join Claire and the crew for FRIDAY FUNTIME – Fun and Games!
(If we can find all the bits) we’ll be bringing some of our favourite board games to the library. Come play a round of Monopoly, Mensch ärger dich nicht (Trouble, when i was a kid), Yatzee, Chess, Taboo or UNO or why not bring your own favourite to share with us!
Book at 1530, games right after 
Saturday opening starts again this week – Saturday 14th September.
… Is there room in the library for a child like me?”
