Loving our Library

Notice: This article is kept for historical reference. Some details may be outdated.

Our library was one of the lucky recipients of Lilli’s love and attention over the summer.

The library underwent a massive re-vamp, starting from a huge jumble of over a thousand books, some on shelves, some stacked in piles, some stored in boxes under tables….  Our library now hosts what is undoubtedly the nicest (and most beautifully organised) German children’s book, video and music collection in Canberra.

Just a few of the myriad books that got sorted this summer.

Many books were given to grateful families, many others were donated to LifeLine to carry on their good work circulating in the wider German community.  Only the best made it through to the finals, to our sleek new library, so we are sure you will enjoy browsing our shelves.

New books and donations are being received all the time by our librarians Florian and Lilli, so keep checking the shelves for fresh material and old favourites.

The library caters for 0-16 year olds, and sections include learning German, ABCs and vocabulary builders, children’s classics, the popular Wieso Warum Weshalb series, music, videos, mystery, adventure, and much more.

Pfadfinderinnen!  Lilli has even created you a “starke Maedchen” section! Come and check it out!
