FOR ENGLISH, WITH LOVE

Fancy trying something new this Valentine’s Day? Come to the British Council!

Between 13 and 25 February, English is going on a date with literature, surprises and love at our libraries in Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca and Iasi, within the “For English, with love” event.

To start off the week, on 14 February we’re inviting you to a bookdating session. Wrap one of your favourite books in a nice paper, stick a small note on it saying why it impressed you and bring it to your nearest British Council library. Leave it in the Red Corner to find a new owner and take somebody else’s favourite piece of writing back home!

And if the bookdate stirred your appetite for reading, come get a library membership anytime between 13 and 25 February and we’ll automatically enrol you in the Lovers’ Raffle! Every week during this period, you can be one of the three lucky new members who win two theatre tickets.

We have more surprises in store for you, but since every romance goes along well with a little mistery, why not visit the British Council libraries between 13 and 25 February and discover them yourself?

Come and let yourself fall (back) in love with English!
