You have put up the decorations, wrapped the presents, stocked up on Christmas books, but there is a little something missing? You might be able to take it home from the library tomorrow!
Make a special ornament and get into the spirit.
Story at 3pm, activity right after.
Last chance to change or renew your books this year!
We will be open tomorrow as usual and then next Friday 10:00-12:00 and 14:30-16:30 – then we will be closed until 10th January 2020.

A big heartfelt thank you to all who donated books and helped spread the word about our Children’s Book Drive!
We collected more than 300 books plus 75 pixie books. We were able to donate books to three different organizations- the SOS Kinderdorf, the Sophienpflege Jugendhilfe in Tübingen, and Jugendhilfe Korntal. Our contacts at the three organizations were so grateful and happy to receive these books for the children in their care.
Thank you once again for your help in making our first annual Children’s Book Drive a success! 🎄🎅📚❤️🎅🎄

A big thank you to all who were involved in the open day on Saturday, both volunteers and visitors. I’ve just added up our takings on the cake stand and I’m pleased to say we made 233€!!!!
