Newsletter New Year 2020

May the New Year keep you « healthy, wealthy & wise »

Very best wishes for 2020 from the FOAL team. I take this opportunity to thank board members who, among other things, are diligent in manning the library

Coffee mornings  These will be starting on January 24. They take place from 10.30-12 at the library. Galette des Rois on that morning

Other dates : February 15  March 20  April 18 May 29

These mornings are open to Foal members



Easy reading We are going to add some « easy reading » books to the collection for non English speakers. We quite often get people coming in & asking if we have  anything « easy to read »



Reading to young children  Some young mothers would like to find sessions when someone would read aloud in order to habituate their young offspring to the music of the language. Volunteers please. These could take place a couple of times a month on opening Wednesdays



Armchairs  We have decided to have a couple of armchairs in the main library area to encourage convivial chats. If you have a small armchair to donate it/they are welcome  Send email to foal34@gmail.com



Montpellier Film Buffs  A sister association called Montpellier Film Buffs organises monthly viewing of selected films. For more info, send an email to

edwinhill@hotmail.com



Last but not least  You need to pay your dues  30 euros payable to Foal & sent to Mike Davison  13 rue de la Paix  34130 St Aunès. If you have joined & paid 30 euros in the last three months you are covered until end 2020. If you only paid 15 euros you need to pay for 2020.
