Events - 14 May 25

To imagine the future, we must first understand the stories that shaped us. Join us for a writing workshop led by our 2025 Angers Literary Festival moderator Michelle Crowell. During the workshop, Michelle and the participants will go through a passage from Tara Westover’s acclaimed memoir Educated. They will then do a writing exercise on a technique from the passage.

Michelle Crowell is an American writer and educator based in Nantes, France. She is pursuing a PhD in American Literature and holds a Master’s in General and Comparative Literature from the Sorbonne. Her creative nonfiction has appeared in Anti-Heroin Chic. She is currently finishing a memoir.

This workshop is free and open to the public. Space is limited to 15 participants, so be sure to register in advance!

Come and play (simple) Bridge (cardgame) at the library! Engage in a brain-stimulating sport: the Mini Bridge Exclusive Society. Discover, learn and play Mini Bridge in a relaxed, casual and informal ambiance. Mini Bridge, as developed by MBES allows and encourages

• conversations while playing the game,
• comments and remarks before, during and after the game,
• second thoughts,
• not taking oneself too seriously,

…in a nutshell, MBES (Mini Bridge Exclusive Society) proposes a different concept from the competing conventional Bridge Clubs.

It is free and open to members of the library. Please contact the library to join!
