The Textile Art & Craft Group and Marie-Paule Muller, leader of the group, have the pleasure to showcase their creations at the library from May 5 to June 22, 2021. Here is a sample from one of their projects.  We invite you to come and  discover their delicate work! If you would like to join the group, who meet once a month, don’t hesitate to contact the Front Desk at info@ellia.org.

The question is…will you have the winning raffle ticket?

Here is another fun fundraiser for the library…come and buy your raffle tickets in order to win different baskets of lovely items donated to the library. You can buy your tickets anytime between May 21st and BBB and Open House day, May 29th during the hours open to the public! Drawing will be done on Saturday, May 29th at 5 pm.

Join the library community for a special moment to talk about anything and everything…in English of course! For the time being, we are inviting everyone to come and socialize but will not be serving drinks in order to keep everyone safe! This is Coffee House with a “hold the coffee” protocol! Things will get better but meanwhile no coffee or tea!

Coffee House is free and open to all library members. Just drop by, no need to reserve!

Feel like you need some air! Believe us, we hear you! Get on those hiking boots and take some time to revel in the great outdoors! The Walk and Talk committee organises an easy walk once a month – (approximately 10 km, 4 hours in the afternoon) in order to discover or re-discover the beautiful hiking paths of the Maine-et-Loire. Come along with good walking shoes, protection against rain, cold or heat according to the season… a bottle of water and a little “en-cas” to keep you going! Maximum group is 20 so be sure to sign up!

Open to library members only. Sign up by sending your name, email address and phone number (preferably cell phone) to the group leader by clicking here. You will be sent full details for the upcoming walk.
