The "Reading against violence" project has been running at Chemnitz City Library since 2002. The readings by children's and young people's authors focus on different aspects of this constantly topical issue. They point out causes and connections and thus offer the opportunity to actively deal with the problem in class.

The project was initiated by the Verein Förderer der Stadtbibliothek Chemnitz e.V. and is funded by the Local Action Plan for Democracy, Tolerance and a Cosmopolitan Chemnitz (LAP).
