I write children's books. And sometimes I am invited to read them. This is how I found out about this little gem. It is a very small library which opens for the children of the nearby school. The library is packed with German children's books plus very nice staff. If you wanna see a really small library full of love: come here. On Thursdays they do "Gedichte für Wichte" which could be translated into "poems for little fellows". The staff reads them to the smallest guests. In German.
During the dark season from October till April they have special events every Wednesday at 15:00. It is mostly free of charge to participate and if you want to find out more about children's books and German culture, or maybe if you have children of your own: check them out.
