Garden Club visit
|
The garden club invites you to discover the beautiful gardens in the area! This free activity is open to library members and offers visits once a month. The October visit will be at the Château and botanical park of the Breil de Foin. In the grounds of two impressive châteaux next to each other, the older was started in the XI century as a feudal dungeon, which transformed into a 15th century logis during the 100 years war. Several generations later, in the 17th century, a more modern and comfortable château was built on the base of a vast grange, where the owners still live. They have recently planted the park with trees notable for their autumn colour, interesting foliage, flowers or perfume. 5 euros. For more information and/or to sign up for this visit please send an email to gardenclub@ellia.org. |

Writer’s corner

Upload yourself at the WC…well, this is perhaps not what you think it is…WC is short for Writer’s corner and this is a new activity for library members! Calling all writers: this informal afternoon to network with other writers will take place once a month. Writers can come and just write or type around a table. Afterwards budding writers can get up and chat around the tea or coffee pot near the reception desk. There is no reading aloud or guidance or discussion, it’s just a space where people can commune in the act of writing. No need to sign up…just show up pen and paper and/or computer in hand! |

Bookclub
|
The September read for the bookclub is “The Road Home” by Rose Tremain. Lev is on his way from Eastern Europe to Britain, seeking work. Behind him loom the figures of his dead wife, his beloved young daugher and his outrageous friend Rudi who – dreaming of the wealthy West – lives largely for his battered Chevrolet. Ahead of Lev lies the deep strangeness of the British: their hostile streets, their clannish pubs, their obsession with celebrity. London holds out the alluring possibility of friendship, sex, money and a new career and, if Lev is lucky, a new sense of belonging… For any enquiries about joining the bookclub please send an email by clicking here. |
