Hello, volunteers! It seems as if spring break simply flew by this year!

Due to the holidays, we have had some reduced hours this month, but we still have a few opportunities for those who have a little extra time this month. Those open shifts are:

• Saturday, 18 April @ 14:00
• Friday, 24 April @ 10:00

If you are available to help out on either of these days, please visit the sign-up form and sign up for your shift of choice or any others in the months of May and June that interest you.

I also want to remind everyone that our Annual General Meeting will be on Wednesday, 22 April at 19:00. Attending this meeting is a great way to get more involved here at the CEL, especially if you are interested in the behind-the-scenes operation of the library or if you would like to meet those who devote their time to keep the CEL running as CEL Board Members. We would absolutely love to see you there!

If you have any questions or concerns, you can post on our CEL Desk Volunteers Facebook page, or you can contact me directly via email at volunteers@celstuttgart.de

Wishing you a lovely day!

If you have any questions or concerns, you can post on our CEL Desk Volunteers Facebook page, or you can contact me directly via email at volunteers@celstuttgart.de
