Hello again, everyone!

Please note our open hours carefully, as we are only open on Friday afternoons during the summer holiday. We still have lots of Saturday and Friday morning volunteer opportunities ahead, though, so get excited for a wonderful summer at the Children’s English Library! If you have any questions, you can post them to the Desk Volunteer group on Facebook or you can reach out to me directly at volunteers@celstuttgart.de

Also, a reminder that we will have a booth at the Vaihinger Stadtfest on Sunday, 6 July. We need volunteers to help staff our booth, so if you like talking about the CEL, our incredible collection and programs, and our amazing community, please do sign up! We also need volunteers to help children with a craft, to run our book sale, and to donate baked goods. If any of this sounds fun, please reach out for more info on how to help 🙂

Have a wonderful day!
