Hello Members,
We would like to invite you to a summer get-together at the Katzenbacher Hof on Saturday June 24th from 11-3. There is a cash only food and beverage kiosk, picnic tables, and a large playground. It’s a great opportunity to socialize and meet other members. We hope you can join us!
Our Summer Reading Challenge Starts on July 1st. The reading logs will be available to pick up at the library. All ages are welcome to participate- read yourself or have someone read to you! See more details on the flyer below.
Don’t forget this Saturday is Yoga in the Park at 2pm in the Vaihinger Stadtpark. All ages welcome. Please bring a towel or blanket to place under your yoga mat. No sign up required. After the yoga class, stop by the library and exchange your books!
Best wishes and happy reading,
the CEL board
During the Pfingstferien which begins Saturday May 27th and lasts until Sunday June 11th, CEL is only open on the Friday afternoons of June 2 and 9th. We have volunteers signed up for both of those days.
But, this does mean the planned watercolour workshop has had to be cancelled as CEL is not open that Saturday.
Planning and Training for helping with class visits – Wednesday 31st May 19:00 at CEL – why not come along?
If you would like to join our class visit team please let us know.

Dear Members,
Apologies but our volunteer for today has had to cancel.
We have been unable to find a replacement at short notice and need to take the decision to close and send out mails about this now, in order to save you a wasted journey.
We will be open on Friday next week as usual, the next two Saturdays we still need volunteers for – if you are a trained desk volunteer please check your calendars.
For everyone else please keep your eye on the emails in case we can’t find anyone.
best regards,
The CEL Board
