		Del nyhedsbrevet

Dear all,

April is here in a few days - and with it Easter Vacation.

REMEMBER that these dates are national holidays: 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6th.

Thus besides school holiday and no sports, you will run into supermarkets having adapted opening hours - check their local webistes.

Sunday March 29th daylight saving starts - remember to set you clocks forward one hour, if you have any that doesn't do it automatically.

ALSO mark your calendar on June 9th for this years Spring Recepion - we have managed to book a really good speaker - more on this in the next issue (cliff hanger 🙃).

Below you find April's events - many different this time, so I hope you all find something to join!

Remember you can also find events at Vejle Municipality's event page det sker.

And Spinderihallerne and the Libraries have more events if you speak a little Danish!

ENJOY!

Kind Regards Louise

What if..? Speculative fiction night - April 29th

Join us for an evening exploring speculative fiction – stories that ask daring questions and invite us to imagine the impossible.

What if the world was different from the one we know? What if reality could bend, twist, and transform through imagination?

We’ll start with a couple of inspirational talks – where three people share their passion for the genre and their personal favorites (at this point in time). Then we’ll dive into a collective reading session and time for dialogue.

There will be a coffee break along the way and plenty of time to exchange thoughts and discoveries.

We’ll finish with ideas on how you can continue exploring speculative fiction – whether through reading, writing, or connecting with others at the library.

Participation is free, but please register, for the sake of coffee-quantity and number of chairs.
