    Being one of the team of volunteers for this project has been a very enlightening experience. It is interesting to note who takes out which books and how often people use the library. We inherited so many 'Policiers' i.e. crime novels that they outweigh any other category of book in the library, but nowadays people don't seem to be drawn to them. It is interesting discussing books with lenders and listening to their recommendations. We have an English and bilingual section which is frequented mainly by ourselves, the volunteers ( 3 French and 2 English women). Apart from myself, I have yet to witness anyone taking out a poetry book! But then, the library has been opened for just 6 months. inom wait with baited breath!

    Biography



    Much of Achille Laugé’s childhood, and most of his career, was spent in Cailhau, in the Aude. He began his artistic training at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Toulouse, where he met his lifelong friend the sculptor Antoine Bourdelle, before entering the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1882. Enrolled in the studio of the painter Alexandre Cabanel, Laugé soon met and befriended another sculptor, Aristide Maillol, who he introduced to Bourdelle and with whom he later shared a studio. A pencil portrait of Bourdelle was Laugé’s first exhibited work, shown at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1884. Two years later, in 1886, Laugé left Paris and returned to live and work in the South of France for the remainder of his long career.

    Laugé’s early adoption of the pointilliste technique in his paintings has led to some debate as to its sources. While two childhood friends of the artist, the journalist Achille Astré and the influ
