It’s not easy to understand and celebrate Berlin’s public library system. But that’s where artecom comes in and has organised the city’s very first library festival really well – that’s what I always want! (Anna Jocobi, ZLB Press Officer)

The Association of Public Libraries in Berlin (VÖBB) is celebrating its 20th anniversary on September 15th and 16th, 2018 with a library in the park, mobile cinema, readings, comic and writing workshops, a literature scavenger hunt, creative guided tours and do-it-yourself activities for the 12 Berlin district libraries and the Berlin Central and Regional Library (ZLB)
Formats and ideas for the future of libraries, developed in a participatory manner and developed, discussed, presented and trialled together with the public, are at the heart of the library festival for and with all citizens.
