Nuremberg: City library distributes books - "Reading aloud and reading are essential for children"
The promotion of reading skills is one of the core tasks of the Nuremberg City Library.
Because reading aloud and reading are essential to give children access to knowledge and education, according to a message from the town hall.
The skills laid the foundation for academic and professional success and played a key role in personal development, especially for young people - for example, for developing imagination and empathy.

The campaign is also intended to make the parents of the first graders aware of the importance of reading: Each book comes with a brochure containing tips in a total of eight languages on how to stimulate the youngsters' hunger for reading.
Parents are encouraged to visit the city library with their children and to take advantage of the free loan options for them.
Nuremberg: First reading books cannot be distributed directly due to the corona pandemic
Since the books cannot be distributed directly in the classes due to the Corona * pandemic, they will be handed over to the students again this year together with teaching materials. The large reading festival linked to the campaign, which until 2019 always took place after the books were handed out in the city library center, has to be suspended again this year due to the corona pandemic.
The distributed first reading book takes children into the world of seas and oceans.
Here Otto, the clever octopus, explores this exciting habitat together with the novice readers.
You will get to know the three great oceans, learn how deep a person can dive, what makes a submarine and that coral reefs are the largest structures in the world.
Even a trip to the pole is on the agenda.
A fun reading quiz at the end of each chapter and at the end of the book asks what you have learned and deepens the newly acquired knowledge.
