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?”

Did you guess our featured author on the CEL Open Day on October 19?

It’s Julia Donaldson, author of The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom and over 182 other published works! Join us at the library from 10am to 4pm for all kinds of fun including:

– readings and songs

– crafts and games for all ages

– a scavenger hunt

– a cake and drink stand

Everyone is welcome to dress up as their favorite character – we can’t wait to see yours!

This Saturday is the last Saturday that CEL will be open before the school summer holidays. During the school holidays CEL will be open on Friday mornings (10:00-12:00) and afternoons (14:30-17:30) only.

There will be activities during the summer holidays, so come in, join in, change your books and don’t forget the Summer_Reading_Challenge Log …

Hello CEL members,

Here is an update on what’s going on at the Library:

• Our Summer Reading Challenge runs from July 1st through September 13th! You can pick up one or both of the reading logs at the library or print one out at home Summer_Reading_Challenge Logs and then get reading! All participants can pick up a certificate and a small prize at the library from September 13 until October 12th.
• Could you lead a Saturday Workshop? Do have an idea? If not, then maybe one of these will strike your fancy: lego challenge, storytelling, self portrait activity, experiments, baking, kid’s yoga/movement. Please let us know if you are interested and what date works for you at workshops@celstuttgart.de.
• Do your kids have a book recommendation? We would love to hear them! You can pick up a book recommendation slip at the library or simply post it on the members’ Facebook group. Just tell us the name of the book and why they liked it along with your child´s name and age.
• Don’t forget there is Rhyme Time on Friday mornings and Friday Fun on Friday afternoons! The library is a great place to visit to stay cool on these hot summer days!

Mail fridayfun@celstuttgart.de if you plan to join us this Friday so we have enough materials…

Thanks

Claire
