The library celebrates its 30th anniversary! | 01/12/2023-08/12/2023 | All Day

The library celebrates its 30th anniversary!

The library has been a sanctuary for many, a space for learning and community, the place to be for almost three decades. From the 1st to the 8th of December, the library will be celebrating its 30th anniversary!

 

December 1st to the 8th:  A memory tree set up at the front of the library.  We invite everyone to write down their favorite memory of the library and hang it on the tree.  We can’t wait to read them all!

 

December 1st to the 8th:  We will have photos and news articles from the past 30 years on display.  Whether you have been a part of our community since the very beginning or a new member, please come and take a walk down memory lane!

 

December 8th from 10:00 – 11:00:  We will close out the week with a special edition of Coffee House. We’ll be throwing the library a 30th birthday party!  Stop by for a hot cuppa, some cake, and great company!

 

Come and take part in the festivities!


The Big Christmas Quiz | 03/12/2023 | 2:00 pm-5:00 pm

The Big Christmas Quiz

Merry Mince Pies! The Big Quiz is back for its 13th run and an extra special Christmas edition! Come to the library for an afternoon of fun… if you’re a fan of Trivial Pursuit, you will LOVE this!

As usual, the quiz is a team event. Each team has its own table for 6 people. You can enter as a team of six; or you can simply join a team which is partially complete… you might make some great new friends!

Each team has a designated colour, and team members may choose to wear clothes of that hue. The teams will be called Whiter Shade of Pale, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Greensleeves, Brown Sugar, Black Eyed PeasSimply Red, Blueberry Hill, Orange Crush, Yellow Submarine.

It’s on Sunday, December 3rd. We start at 2 o’clock sharp… don’t be late, or you’ll miss some questions. There will be questions of all sorts – some topical, some general knowledge, some about France… and all with a Christmas theme. Wine, coffee, tea, and nibbles will be available. All this for just 12 euros per person!

It’s the ultimate win-win: support the library and enjoy the fun, the friendship, the laughter…and  perhaps you will learn something new!

You can sign up directly with the front desk in person, by phone or by email at info@ellia.org
