Reading summer in Sonneberg: Exciting adventure for young bookworms!

Sonneberg, Deutschland - The Sonneberg city library has given the starting signal for the holiday reading project "My Reading Summer" this week, which would like to encourage children and adolescents between the ages of 8 and 16 to read. The focus is on the loan and reading of a book from the library, followed by a creative examination of the read in the form of a reading brochure. The city administration reports that in this brochure, among other things, information about the author, title, year of publication and the personal opinion of the reader should be recorded. The deadline for the submission of the reading brochure is August 23, 2025.

Participation in a raffle is particularly exciting, in which the participants can win attractive prizes, such as vouchers for the Sonneberger bookstore or a Tolino e-book reader as the main prize. The joy of this commitment to promoting reading is also shared by the library manager Nicole Obermeier, who hopes to lure new readers through the project: to lure the inside into the library.

reading pleasure for the little ones

Another highlight that the Sonneberg city library recently organized was the big final party of the leisure reading program "I am a bookworm". Over 60 children and their relatives came to the celebration, which took place in cloud 14. The event shows how important it is to inspire children to read, which the library manager Nicole Ullrich underlined. In the past few weeks, 45 children, including a complete school class, have actively participated in the program. The number of participants was more than twice as high as last time 2019.

In this project, the kids should read at least one of six books available. These exciting titles included "Help, I am a panda!" by Fee Krämer, who surprisingly was the most popular book with 46 borrowing. 76 New registrations in the library show that interest in reading is increasing significantly. In order to appreciate the reading pleasure, all participants received a certificate and a voucher for the bookstore at the final party.

reading promotion goes beyond the city library

Reading promotion is very important in Germany. A look at nationwide activities for promoting reading shows that the initiatives are diverse. From reading evenings in pre -schools to extensive campaigns for school classes - there are numerous ways to introduce children earlier and more intensively to read.

In addition to the programs in libraries, reading nights, reading festivals and fairy tale days invite you to immerse yourself together in the world of books. These offers are an excellent opportunity to include families and promote reading as a common activity. The Reading Foundation, with numerous programs and competitions, also plays a central role in increasing interest in books and making promoting reading a cultural event.

The committed work of libraries and educational institutions is crucial to win the little ones for literature. With its commitment, the Sonneberg city library sets a valuable sign in this important industry and shows that reading has lost none of its attraction in today's digital world.
