One day, an ancient sage told me something very true. 👐🖌🎨 Je suis d'où je vais 🍾🎊 Happy New Year 2026! ❄️☃️ 📚 Let's meet our snowman. How would you call him? 🥇🥈🥉Here is the Library Wrapped of the year 2025 for books, e-books, journals, graphic novels, DVD and games. 🎄✨️🎁 Last year, while we were decorating the library Christmas tree, someone approached us, interested. They had never participated in this tradition before! 🏢The Library uses North American floor numbering. In this system, the ground floor and first floor are generally synonymous, being both located at ground level. https://www.instagram.com/p/DQblezkiD_I/ 🍂🍁🌥🕰 During the night of October 25th to 26th 2025, Switzerland will switch to standard time (-1 hour to summer time).
