We now know just where to go when the weather gets bad.... die Stadtbibliothek (city library). It's got hundreds of great children's DVDs, daily holiday activities, a room full of games but also an excellent Fremdsprache section (German for foreigners!) - all our needs have been met! There are 12 inter-connected libraries spread across Essen, where you can order books, collect from one, return to any, book online etc etc The SWAP library group in SA comes close...
Samantha has been invited to join a local bookclub (Frauenleseabend) - which is somewhat terrifying... dissecting a book's plot and discussing characters is challenging enough in one's native tongue... maybe she'll summarise "The Making of Julia Gillard" as a mystery/thriller?
