A summer kickoff for young readers
With the opening of Holidays at the Book Pool 2026, the City Library of Braunschweig focuses on what good children's and youth literature can achieve: awakening curiosity, igniting the desire to read, and making books true companions during the holidays. On June 24, 2026, at 5:00 PM, a literary event will begin in the children's library aimed at children aged 9 to 13 years, filling the summer with language, imagination, and discoveries.
Reading, reading promotion, and a literary atmosphere
To kick off, Antje Szillat will read from Pony-Strong Holidays - a Horse Dream Comes True. The author, known for lively children's book worlds and accessible language art, will open an event that goes far beyond an ordinary reading. Here, reading promotion meets author encounters, age-appropriate excitement meets summer library culture.
A program with feeling for young literature
The setting is deliberately low-threshold and inviting: admission is free, and free tickets are available at the city library. The reading takes place in the children's library on the 3rd floor and is aimed at a young audience that wants not only to hear stories but to experience them with all their senses. This mix of closeness, narrative energy, and library support is what makes the afternoon so appealing.
A location with character: the City Library of Braunschweig
The City Library at Schlossplatz is one of the defining cultural locations of the city. The barrier-free entrance with a paved ramp facilitates access, public transport connections are good, and there are paid parking options available for those arriving by car. This creates a reliable, family-friendly framework for a literary afternoon.
Why this date matters for families and book kids
Holidays at the Book Pool combines the joy of reading with a clear incentive system: those who read collect stamps and can later exchange them for book rewards. This is precisely the strength of the format. It promotes concentration, imagination, and endurance without coming across as didactic. Antje Szillat's reading sets the tone for eight weeks of summer reading, during which current children's and youth books await an attentive audience.
Conclusion
Anyone looking for an inspiring holiday kickoff with literature, a lively reading atmosphere, and strong reading incentives will find an ideal date in Braunschweig. Antje Szillat opens a summer full of stories, conversations, and book discoveries with her reading. A visit is worthwhile for all who want to bring literature closer to children and make it experiential.
