Lübben City Library celebrates 75 years with a big party for everyone!
A very special occasion is coming up: The Lübben City Library is celebrating its 75th anniversary! In 2025, the library will look back on an eventful history that began in January 1950 with the founding of what was then a small library. Since then, the city library has developed from a modest place into a lively meeting center, as niederlausitz-aktuell.de reports. Despite numerous challenges, especially during the ideological control in the GDR, the library has continually developed and modernized.
Some of the most significant advances include the introduction of open access lending and the move to the magnificent stables in 2003. The digitization of the collections and the creation of a reading café show how well the city library is keeping up with the times. Online access is also offered, which allows users to easily borrow digital media. But the best is yet to come: The big birthday party will take place on July 26th under the motto “Birthday with Pippi Longstocking”. radiocottbus.de has summarized the exciting activities for the little guests.
Festive activities
From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. the library becomes a playground for children. Reading lessons from “Pippi Longstocking” invite you to dream, while there will also be many surprises. The little ones can also beautify their faces with face painting or discover their love for animals while riding a pony. If you like, you can have your photo taken at the instant photo booth. Physical well-being is also taken care of: coffee and cake are waiting for the guests. Admission to the festival is free, so everyone feels invited to join in the celebration - a real highlight in the summer!
Another big event is scheduled for October 10th. The official anniversary event will then be celebrated in the coat of arms hall of Lübben Castle with a subsequent reception in the library. Visitors can expect a look back at the library's 75-year history, which contains numerous anecdotes and stories.
Digital dimensions
The city library has modernized not only spatially but also digitally. The trend towards digitization plays a central role for public libraries. As a comprehensive survey on library digitization revealed, many institutions have already found ways to prepare for the digital future. forschungsdaten-bildung.de emphasizes that libraries in Germany recognized the importance of digital media early on. This development affects the offerings, cultural mediation and user experience and makes the library a place of cultural education.
With a great program and numerous offerings, the Lübben City Library shows that it is an important part of cultural life and is happy to celebrate the development of the last 75 years. If you're interested, you definitely shouldn't miss the celebrations - a real event for the whole family!
