Read aloud: On quiet soles... Stories to listen to
read aloud for everyone with keen ears
When you are invited to the "Auf leisen Sohlen..." event in the city library, you have to be quiet and prick up your ears, because the reading mentors come to visit and read out exciting stories. They take both young and older listeners into colourful fantasy worlds with great pleasure. The literature-loving readers read the latest children's books, classics, "bestsellers" from their own childhood or even texts they have written themselves in the atmospheric reading tent in the children's world. Admission to the reading sessions is free.
