Kinderbibliothek (KiBi)

The Children’s Library (KiBi) in Paderborn offers age-appropriate guided tours that teach children about the layout of a library, how to find books and other media, and the basics of borrowing materials. Preschoolers and schoolchildren learn about the library’s offerings through a hands-on introduction and are then given time to explore the facilities on their own. The collection includes books, audiobooks, games, and Tonies. With written consent from a parent or guardian, a library card can be issued so that materials can be borrowed directly. For elementary school classes, there are themed tours focusing on fairy tales, picture books, and children’s book authors. In grades 3 and 4, a digital scavenger hunt using the Actionbound app complements the educational program.
