Raise the curtain for a picture book cinema full of languages and fantasy
When large pictures shine on the wall and a story is heard in two languages, a special family experience begins at the Braunschweig City Library. At the bilingual picture book cinema on Thursday, October 15, 2026, children from 3 years old along with their families will discover a lovingly told picture book story in English and German.
A story for eyes, ears, and curious minds
The focus is on the picture book The hedgehog, who painted the weather or Der Igel, der das Wetter malte by Ingo Blum. Native-language reading in a foreign language and in German connects sound, image, and narrative. The illustrations will be projected in large format on the wall, turning the reading into a small cinema experience.
Age-appropriate fun for children from 3 years
The offer is aimed at children from 3 years old and is thus child-friendly for the first encounter with multiple languages. Children experience that stories, regardless of a single language, create joy, wonder, and community. The learning experience playfully supports listening, language perception, and the development of imagination.
Quality time in the children's library
For about 15 minutes, the little visitors dive into the world of picture books. The compact format suits the attention span of younger children and provides families with a calm, inspiring break. The event takes place in the children's library on the 3rd floor of the city library.
Free entry and family-friendly
Admission is free. The bilingual picture book cinema is organized by the Braunschweig City Library in collaboration with the Bürgerstiftung Braunschweig. During the event, the children's library is only partially usable. Families experience here a low-threshold cultural offer with educational value, a safe environment, and plenty of space for children's laughter, curiosity, and shared time.
What visitors can expect
Look forward to a short, visually striking reading hour, English and German language sounds, and a story that children and adults can enjoy together. This family event combines literature, language promotion, and imagination in a warm and age-appropriate manner. Anyone who loves picture books and wants to instill a joy for languages in their child will experience a special afternoon in Braunschweig.
