He is confident that self-organizing groups, such as for Knitting or programming, a firm place in the range of libraries. The aim is, in the next year, once a month, such a maker space to offer.

“libraries are not mere books of offices,” says Manager Birgit Paul. “We are a mirror image of the city, and we must adapt to the diverse needs of the people.” A quiet place for homework, English lessons and vocational preparation for migrants, Internet research, children’s theatre, painting, E-Book lending all of the the city library offers. The “maker space” is a further element, with the acquisition of knowledge and, increasingly, of knowledge transfer is its importance as a place of encounter.

A good 20 books stacked in the basket of Olivia Volkmann on top of each other, including four parts of the youth novel series “Suddenly Princess”. Three to four books a week, reading the 14-Year-old told.
