SENSATION in Wernau: The library becomes a creative meeting place for everyone!
In a breathtaking example of the cultural diversity of the city of Wernau, the city library shines as a shimmering beacon of community activities! The passionate library manager Petra Behr leads the fortunes of this oasis of knowledge and creativity, which not only offers books, but also an incomparable range of activities that make the hearts of the residents beat faster! Unbelievable but true: knitting, crocheting, crafts and exciting discussions are just a small part of the spectacle that regularly takes place here!
Generations come together to engage in the creative arts. Under the artistic direction of Petra Utpadel, a sensational sewing meeting takes place every month, where participants bring their own sewing machines and materials. It's a true celebration of creativity, as the library not only provides tables and extension cords, but also an ironing board that encourages sewing enthusiasts to excel! And as if that wasn't enough, Petra Behr and her dedicated team spoil the participants with delicious coffee and tasty cookies.
The exciting highlights of the action
The Wernau City Library has also set up a literature group that meets once a month on Monday afternoons. Here, book lovers discuss captivating stories and share their discoveries, while the knitting meeting, which has taken place twice a month since the end of the Corona pandemic, is a popular attraction for creative minds of all ages. Previous knowledge? Not necessary at all! Experienced knitters are available to help and advise the newcomers!
The library is not just a popular meeting place for locals - families from all over the region flock to take advantage of the countless offerings! Particular highlights are the reading campaigns in cooperation with schools and the enchanting reading meetings for preschool children. Around 20 incredibly committed volunteers support these meetings and ensure that nothing is missing - often with additional craft activities that stimulate the imagination!
Shocking news for little bookworms!
And as if that wasn't enough, the city library is also putting on a breathtaking event: a "suitcase flea market" in front of the library, where passionate bookworms can browse for their favorite book treasures in the form of affordable paperbacks. It's shocking how many surprising offers await curious buyers here!
The city library's commitment is supported by the Reading Foundation, which has launched a new digital volunteer area with the aim of supporting children and young people in learning to read. The platform offers valuable information for reading sponsors and shows the overwhelming importance of reading activities that take place not just once, but regularly! This has the potential to revolutionize primary school students' reading performance, as teachers are often overworked and need specialized support!
Petra's tireless efforts, combined with the huge network of volunteers and initiatives from which the city library benefits, is a shock to the general public! Wernau's most creative minds give their all to ensure that learning and creative expression go hand in hand as they inspire the next generation of readers!
