The film club is kicking off a new season with a series of films that will take place once a month on a Saturday afternoon. The first showing will be “Sleepless in Seattle”, a wonderful light comedy where a recently widowed man’s son calls a radio talk-show in an attempt to find his father a partner.

Screening begins at 15:00 sharp and will be followed by a discussion in English. This activity is free of charge for all library members but if possible, please reserve by signing up at the front desk. 

The Internet is wonderful and can answer all your questions. For most of us, it is the main source for news. Indeed, we have immediate access to plenty of media from different parts of the world. But can they all be trusted? Using different sources and media, the press review helps you to find your way through the news and be well-informed. This is an informal sharing and discussion of the news in English. Please feel free to bring in an article that you would like to share with the other members of the group.

Meetings are held on Saturdays from 2-3pm. Dates for 2018-2019 are Dec 8^th, Jan 12^th, Feb 16^th, March 16^th, April 13^th and May 18^th

This activity, free for library members, is organized by freelance journalist and library volunteer: Isma Hassaine-Poirier.

Come to the library’s TGIF/Afterwork/Afterschool party with drinks! This round is with a Christmas theme…wear your best Christmas sweater and come and enjoy some end-of-the-week fun. And heck, come even if you don’t have a Christmas sweater…come as you are! Just 5 euros a head! No need to reserve. Open to the public.

 Here’s the deal:

1. Try some fun Christmas drinks and lots of juice.
2. A surprise game to loosen up and have fun

Treat yourself to an afternoon of a collective reading of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. This 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 by sending an email to John Barritt.

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! If anyone has some extra wool please bring it in. The Knitting group has a project knitting twiddle muffs and are looking for bits and pieces of washable wool.

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!

If you love needlecraft, this activity is for you! Each participant will make a textile creation of their choice, (bag, pouch, wall tapestry, whatever you fancy!) all while exchanging different techniques in English.

Bring your own materials and join us at the library on December 6^th from 2 to 4 p.m. Free to library members. Please sign up at the front desk, when possible.
