The campaign will take place on Thursday, October 24, in all of the city library's buildings during normal opening hours.
It is usually the cover of a book that makes people reach for the reading material or it is the name of an author, perhaps even the description of the contents on the blurb - but letting the first sentence of a book decide whether to read on is also an unusual option.
"The idea of a blind date with the first sentence is not new, but it is unusual and original, which is why we are using the Day of Libraries to make this offer," says Sylvia Fiedler, Head of the City Library. With works from all areas of fiction - from suspense to love, light-hearted, historical to fantasy and literature for young adults - a varied and promising surprise offer has been created. It can be found on separate shelves, neutrally packaged and labeled with the first sentence from the respective book. A valid library card is required to borrow books.
There will also be a surprise box for the very young and very young guests of the city library on this day, the contents of which will only be revealed on Library Day.
The city library is very popular every day it is open. According to Sylvia Fiedler, this pleases the entire team and motivates them to continue making special offers. However, the city library would like to use the Day of Libraries to once again draw special attention to the facility with campaigns and to whet the appetite for media ranging from books, music and games to films and more, according to the city library.
Shortly before the end of the survey
The City Library would also like to use the Day of Libraries on October 24 to once again draw attention to its reader survey, which ends on October 31.
The survey asks how satisfied visitors are with the services and offers of the Stabi. You can still take part in the survey on the website https://de.sentobib.eu/2363 (opens in a new tab). Many have already expressed their opinion in the digital survey.
The more people take part, the more comprehensive the picture of customer satisfaction that the city library team can form. "We want to know what we are already doing well and where we can improve, so every vote really counts," says the head of the city library, explaining why she is encouraging people to take part in the survey.
