IN ACCORDANCE with the directive of the Spanish Government, placing the country under a state of emergency, we regret to announce that ALL English Library activities are suspended until further notice. The library will not be open for the return or lending of books and DVDs etc., as previously announced.
We hope that all our members will stay safe during this very difficult and trying period.
We have recently decided to reopen two of our clubs, The Tenerife History Group, and the Literary Group.
In addition, the Art Club which meets at the library on Tuesday’s has reopened.
We hope it will be possible to reopen other library clubs in the near future.
WE ARE SORRY THAT THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED BECAUSE OF THE ONGOING SITUATION IN THE SOUTH WITH THE CORONAVIRUS. ALL CONSULAR RESOURCES HAVE BEEN REDIRECTED. IT WILL BE RESCHEDULED FOR ANOTHER DATE.
The Library Committee met again on Wednesday 17th February to review the current regulations (Tenerife at Level 2) and to discuss how quickly we can safely return to the new “normality”, given the regulations which the Cabildo (the island government) lays down for libraries. We monitor these, and members of our committee make regular visits to the Municipal Library in Puerto de la Cruz to discuss with their Librarian how they implement the regulations.
Committee meetings will continue to take place monthly to review changes to protocols which are announced.
The next Library Film Club showing is A Dog’s Way Home, an American-made family tear jerker based on W Bruce Cameron’s best-selling novel of the same name.
It tells the story of rescue pup Bella and her adventures as she embarks on a journey of over 400 miles through the wilds of New Mexico and Colorado to find the owner who rescued her from abandonment on a demolition site.
Along the way she meets an assortment of lovable characters, enriching the lives of each of them.
All Library Film Club screenings are strictly for members only and there is no entrance fee. Refreshments will be on sale, including ice creams, during the interval.
Lights go down at 2pm on Thursday, August 29.
LA BIBLIOTECA Inglesa del Puerto de la Cruz se construyó en 1903 y desde entonces ha sido punto de reunión para la comunidad británica.
