Ahead of Christmas, librarians are organizing a book flea market to raise donations for the library of elderly people home “Katharina Labouré Haus” in Heidelberg.
On the occasion of the 50th EMBL anniversary, on Wednesday 15.5.2024 from 13h to 15h, there will be a video recording in the Szilárd Library.
Due to internal event, the library area needs to remain closed for the users.
Thanks to everyone who joined our Christmas Book Flea Market at the Szilard Library - we managed to raise 514 Euros for Stiftung COURAGE at the Heidelberg University Hospital
