🌟 Support the English-language Library in Angers (ELLIA)

We believe that a library is a place for all voices and that, at a time when access to knowledge is increasingly under attack, libraries like the ELLIA remain a safe harbor for the free exchange of diverse voices and ideas. We believe in the power of books and conversations to inspire and shape the future we’ll share.

And yet—there is always more work to be done, and we are grateful for your support in helping us continue our programming.

In 2025, our goal is to raise 20,000€ which will help us offset a loss of funding from the Conseil Régional due to recent budget cuts across France. Your donation, whatever the amount, will help us sustain our programs, organize cultural activities, and continue growing our vibrant community.
