The library apologises but it has been necessary to cancel this date. Next date is March 19th…make sure to write that down in your calendar! For more information, please contact the group leader.

The library is back to serving coffee (and tea!) during Coffee House, isn’t that great? Join the library community for a special moment to talk about anything and everything (in English of course!). Just come in and chat with others, have a cuppa and enjoy the company! The library requires a pass sanitaire but no masks after February 28th, 2022. Thank you for your patience, we will all get through this together, let’s keep our spirits up while keeping everyone safe!

Coffee House is free and open to all library members. No need to reserve!

Get on those hiking boots and take some time to revel in the great outdoors! The idea is to organise an easy walk once a month – approximately 10 km, 2 to 3 hours, in the afternoon – in order to discover or re-discover the beautiful hiking paths of the Maine-et-Loire. First date is February 16th. 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 make sure to sign up!

Want to sign up? Easy as pie!

Sign up by sending your name, email address and phone numbers (perferably cell phone) to this email address. You will be sent full details of the walk in due time.

The Saturday Reading Group is for anyone who loves to read, socialize in English, and meet new people. This Saturday, the group will read Disgrace by J.M Coetzee.

After years teaching Romantic poetry at the Technical University of Cape Town, David Lurie, middle-aged and twice divorced, has an impulsive affair with a student. The affair sours; he is denounced and summoned before a committee of inquiry. Willing to admit his guilt, but refusing to yield to pressure to repent publicly, he resigns and retreats to his daughter Lucy’s isolated smallholding.

Meetings are once a month on Saturday afternoons starting at 3 pm. Open to all library members. To sign up please contact the group coordinator at bookgroup@ellia.org.
