New books
The
new books have arrived and we are expecting a significant
donation of about 150 books, good titles and good authors.
100 Best Novels of the XX Century
We
have got there, the books are on their new shelf in the library. Many thanks to
Philippe Marchand who initiated and followed the project through, Art Fell and the AWG who have donated
generously and other members of Foal.
(list of the 100 in attachment) These books will be on loan soon, once we have
done some covering.
The
authors invited this year are British
Foal
has been consulted by the Mairie who asked us to come up with some ideas. We
have suggested doing the Quiz again with invited authors on the teams ; a
Round Table, again with invited authors,
focussed on the 100 Best Novels which will give wide publicity to the
project; and possibly some form of audio event where the public could listen to
readings from poets and authors past and present drawn from the BBC archives.
The people at the Mairie like our ideas and this partnership
will be a huge boost for our association. We will keep you informed
about this
Renewal
Renewal
raates have been satisfactory, thank you all for your support, if you haven’t renewed yet or
when the time comes (renewal end of the same month you joined last year), you
can send a cheque addressed to Foal for 25 euros or 40 euros (benefactor) with
a stamped, addressed envelope to
Mrs S Erickson Mas de Calage Chemin de Calage
34130 St Aunès
Or
drop by the library any Wednesday afternoon between 3pm-6pm

Annual General Meeting
We
already have a date : 20th June at 6pm
at the Martin Luther King venue (drinks after) so make room in your
diaries but we will remind you nearer the time.
Book Sale
We
plan to have a BIG BOOK SALE soon as we are getting quite overwhelmed with books and a
book sale is a good way for us to raise funds for new books. Don’t forget, we
have a permanent Book Sale at the library
