Events - 13 Jan 17

This is a special moment when the community gathers together to talk about everything and anything (…in English of course!) and sips coffee and tea. Coffee House is free and open to all library members. Just drop in, no need to reserve! Coffee house is every Friday except during school holidays.

Come along and bring your knitting,

Have a natter while you’re sitting,

Or learn to knit with wool provided,

Needles loaned and stitches guided.

Knitted garments are très chic,

So be in vogue and start this week.

Knit and natter is a free activity open to all members. No need to reserve, just come and enjoy yourself!

The library is pleased to invite the public for a talk in English by Franco-American violinist Elissa Cassini.

Elissa will be speaking on the theme “The Global Langage of Music” and her experience of being a musician across widely different cultures and connecting classical music with it’s surrounding art forms. Free and open to the public.

Hailed as “truly communicative” by The New York Times, Franco-American violinist Elissa Cassini has enjoyed an international career as soloist, chamber musician and concertmaster across Europe and the Americas. She recently launched the Duplexity Project, a series of innovative duos expanding on the traditional recital format. She will do just that at the Grand Théâtre d’Angers on January 10th as projections of paintings by Romanian impressionists will accompany Georges Enesco’s magical folk-inspired “Impressions d’Enfance” for violin and piano. Click here for more information about the concert.

Treat yourself to an afternoon of a collective reading of Shakespeare’s Merry Wives of Windsor and Henry the Fourth. The activity consists of watching a BBC production on DVD and then reading relative scenes. This is a great activity for lovers of language and fans of the great wit. The activity is free for library members. Please sign up at the front desk.
