Stadtbibliotheken Reinickendorf: Annual start with a full house and prominent guest list
On January 17, 2024, the annual projects of the Reinickendorf City Libraries were presented in an annual opening event. The Humboldt library was filled to the last seat when 180 guests accepted the invitation. Among them were many authors, cooperation partners and colleagues from the district office. Cultural and Education City Councilor Harald Muschner (CDU) opened the start of the year and emphasized the importance of libraries as living spaces and social meeting points in our society. The Humboldt Library symbolizes cultural meeting places in Reinickendorf, which stand for networking, participation and informed democracy.
The organizer, Petra Lölsberg, had invited the internationally known musician Andrej Hermlin with his biography "My Way" as a special guest. Hermlin, known for his open opinion, provided food for thought after the presentation of his biography. For 2024, muscle training is planned for democracy, in which opportunities for open discussions, food for thought, exchange and discussion culture are to be created for all ages. The event ended with a good mood and networking.The Humboldt Library and other cultural meeting places in Reinickendorf play an important role in the local community by offering space for education, culture and social commitment. Libraries not only form the bookshelf, but are increasingly developing into digital spaces and social meeting points that promote informed democracy.
