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!

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! Coffee house is every Friday except during school holidays.

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 to a garden. Next outing will take place on Thursday, October 6th in the afternoon for a visit of the Château Gontier municipale gardens. For more information please send an email to gardenclub@ellia.org.
