Join in for the library’s traditional Christmas caroling…time to lift our spirits in song!

Looking for that good old Christmas spirit…? Join the members of the English-language Library for Christmas caroling on Zoom (not our favorite way to carol, but better than nothing)! This year we will be singing from home. Wear your red santa hat (or reindeer antlers) and meet online by clicking on this Zoom link. No need to sign up, just come and sing to your heart’s content! If you prefer not to sing but would like to listen to everybody else making a fool of themselves, feel free to join in on the fun! If you would like to practice beforehand, click here for a list of our favorite songs. We will be calling out the numbers of carols and everyone will just have to sing along as best as possible!

Lit Crawl! Reading of the life of Eleanor of Aquitaine
|
Lit Crawl Global 2020 In 2020, many of the Lit Crawls in our worldwide network were cancelled due to Covid-19, so we decided to gather everyone for one big virtual literary hoedown. On October 24th from 10:30am-3pm (California time) we’ll hear from the global literati in Boston, Los Angeles, Seattle, Wellington (New Zealand), Kells (Ireland), Cheltenham (England), Angers (France). Since 2008, 14 cities worldwide have launched affiliated Lit Crawls. By partnering with a variety of organizations, many of them the leading literary entities in their regions, each Lit Crawl bolsters the local literary scene and captures its city’s unique flavor — all while getting book lovers and revelers alike drunk on words. For the Angers event, feel free (since it is free!) to listen to a reading and interpretation of the life of Eleanor of Aquitaine based on adapted excerpts from an essay by Norman Cantor. This event will take place of Saturday, October 24th from 7:30-8 pm*. Readers are Phoebe Marshall-Raimbeau, Francoise Arnaud, Marie France Roland and Kenneth Thomas. Directed and produced by Nicole Graine. The library would like to thank the Château d’Angers for the use of their beautiful 12th-centruy space, so appropriate to the times of Eleanor of Aquitaine. *All Lit Crawl events to be held on Zoom and broadcasted to Facebook Live.

JP Molenaar’s Art Show: CANCELLED
 |
Stop by the library from October 9th to November 24th during opening hours to see JP Molenaar’s Art Show. The exhibition is free and open to the public! On Friday October 9th, meet the artist between 4 pm and 6 pm! JP Molenaar is a painter and the owner of the gallery Trois Murs in Savennières. Through his art, he tangoes with the duality of life with which he colors his own life. He believes that one can choose to do, or not. To take pleasure in things others may dismiss as whimsy. He also feels that the state of mind of individuals impacts their sense of reality. In his paintings, he prefers to portray those who attempt to hide their secrets but who, ultimately, reveal them with a simple gesture, a lowering of the eyes for example. He immortalizes such moments of revelation with his paintbrush. In each piece of art he creates, he attempts to provoke emotions with splashes of color, carefully chosen, or at times, simply lustily applied.
