NEWSLETTER OCTOBER 2018
We had a lot of sign-ups for the « Welcome
Drinks » but not a lot of takers on the evening of the event (21st
September) so all the sign-ups were contacted (email & text message) for a
replay on the 28th & two couples turned up. Conclusion : having a
stand at the Antigone des Associations is a waste of time & effort of the
volunteers who staff the stand. Next year, we will ask another association to
put FOAL flyers on their stand & leave it at that.
Conversation sessions
Our friend
Barbara Arhel has kindly agreed to hold conversation sessions on Tuesdays
during term time from 14.30-15.30. These sessions are for Foal members &
represent a plus but not the main reason for joining the library. Barbara is a
volunteer & may not always be available. The sessions will start on Tuesday
2nd October
Opening hours
We would like
to have your opinion on opening hours. We are thinking of changing them
slightly because there are times when there are no visitors. We suggest closing
half an hour early on Wednesdays (15-17.30) & opening half an hour later on
the Saturday openings (10.30-12.30).
New books
The new books will be in the library mid October. You will
find a hard copy of the updated catalogue in the library & online. I know
most of you have never visited the blog (all you need to do is click on the
link at the bottom of the email). You will find the catalogue there
Donations children’s books
If you have any children’s books to donate to the library,
please bring them along, any other books, please send a list
