After more than 15 years it's over: Schliersee's library manager Dressel says goodbye. Sooner or later the community will have to think about the future of the facility.

The library in the rectory is run purely on a voluntary basis. Almost everything here is still done by hand; you won't find a computer. “None of us are the youngest anymore,” says Dressel. Half of the 160 active customers are minors and young people are well represented.
