Reading time with Sofia - the children's library mascot invites you in
Picture books, stories and fairy tales are read aloud or told. Listening is fun, as is joining in the storytelling. But the best thing is to see the wonderful illustrations accompanying the stories, which is child's play with the Kamishibai theatre or the picture book cinema.
Suitable for children aged 4 - 8 with their parents or grandparents
Venue: TIETZ, foyer on the ground floor
Free admission
Read aloud: On quiet soles... Stories to listen to
read aloud for everyone with keen ears
When you are invited to the event "Auf leisen Sohlen..." in the city library, you have to be very 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.
