It was a particularly exciting morning for the sixteen students from the 4th grade, the “Owls”, from the Buntentorsteinweg all-day primary school and their teacher Xenia Hirsch, who visited the children's library in mid-November. First on the program was a very exciting lecture about whales, the sea and plastic with the biologist Sacha Viquerat.

Afterwards, a big surprise awaited the class in the children's library of the central library: the new hands-on book “Superbremisch” was presented hot off the press and given to all the visibly enthusiastic children. designed very attractively inside and out by the Bremen-based graphic designer and illustrator Valeska Scholz Very entertaining, the young people of Bremen learn interesting and worth knowing things about their city. The class was warmly welcomed Stadtbibliothek Bremen There is already such a hands-on book there and, according to Lison, it has shown “that it is a meaningful and identity-building participatory activity for the children.”

This book idea was met with great enthusiasm by the Bremen publisher Hermann Schünemann and other supporters were found: the Karin and Uwe Hollweg Foundation and the Association of Friends of the Stadtbibliothek Bremen . Hermann Schünemann and Karin Hollweg came personally to the premiere. The advisory board of the Association of Friends of the Stadtbibliothek was represented by Cornelius Neumann-Redlin and Bernd Karstedt.
