A warm welcome!
The Hilden City Library is spread over a total of three floors, all of which are barrier-free.
There is a magazine area on the first floor with magazines on a wide range of topics. Daily newspapers can be read comfortably anywhere in the house. Family, children's and strategy games are available in the board games area. Books on gaming and video games for the Nintendo Switch, Playstation 5 and other consoles round off the range of games.
There is also a separate section with Blu-rays and DVDs for young people and adults as well as the lending bar. The LeihBar is a library of things, so items such as a mini projector, action cam, sewing machine and much more can be borrowed.
The 1st floor houses the novel section, the children's department, the "Generation Plus" location, audio books and the parents' library. The youth section and our study room are located on the 2nd floor, as are the internet café and the non-fiction books for adults. In addition, the city library offers numerous seating options that invite you to linger.

Digital sponsor workshop:
Travel planning by bus and train
It is often not so easy to get from point A to point B by bus or train. Special apps can help here. They make it easier to plan routes. They inform the user about delays and even offer the purchase of tickets without cash.
How the rail and VRR apps work and how they can be used easily will be practiced together during the workshop.
Participation is free of charge. Participants should have sufficient knowledge of how to use a smartphone or tablet and bring their device to the event.
Note:
If possible, please install the VRR and Deutsche Bahn app on your digital device in advance.
Due to the high demand, an additional appointment will be offered on Thursday, 18.07.2024 at 2 pm.
Date:
Friday, July 18 from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m.
Racked

Scratch workshop
Children and young people aged 9 to 13 have the opportunity to learn the basics of programming in a fun way on three dates during the summer vacations at Hilden City Library.
With the Scratch programming language, they can quickly implement their own projects even without any previous knowledge.
The dates can be attended independently of each other. Registration via our participation portal is now possible for the dates on July 11, 12 and 19.
Constituent meeting of the Friends of the City Library
Libraries need friends - true to this motto, a support association for the Hilden City Library is to be set up to support its work.
The aim of the association is to support the Hilden City Library in its function as a place for education, leisure and participation. Possibilities for such support include, for example, the acquisition of donations and funding for the library's equipment or the planning and organization of events.
In this way, the association members can support the Hilden City Library in the ongoing development of its services and participate in the design of new services. At the founding meeting, the statutes will be adopted and the association's board elected.
If you would like to get involved in our support association and attend the founding meeting on Tuesday, July 23 at 6:00 pm, please register by sending an email to foerderverein-stadtbibliothek@hilden.de.
