Our visit of the library "Georgius Agricola" in Glauchau's castle

The children of class 3a of the IGS learned today in a great hands-on tour how a library works and what you can discover there. Everyone listened intently to the friendly librarian Ms. Puchner from the municipal and district library in Glauchau's Forderglauchau Castle. The library covers the entire second floor of the building complex and has a total of about 55,000 media in its catalog for lending. The students quickly realized how important it is to understand what they have read. Everyone had to solve a small task and find different media in the children's library and present them to the others. We found not only many different books, but also games, music, audio books, magazines and journals, comics, movies and much more. We learned that mangas from Japan are read from the back, which surprised us a lot. Some children were gripped by reading fever and they were able to borrow their first exciting and interesting books right away today. We all enjoyed the great atmosphere in these special rooms and would like to incorporate a regular visit to the library into our after-school program in the future. After all, reading is important for all subjects and is also a wonderful pastime that stimulates the imagination and is good for the soul. Thank you very much for this great morning.
