Fabian book bus

The Fabian book bus has been traveling through the outskirts of Aachen since 1979. There are currently around 5,000 items on board. The selection consists of novels, non-fiction books, magazines, audio books for children, DVDs, board games and console games. Class tours are available on request.

Ordering and returning media

If you would like to place a media order, please notify us of your order by telephone or e-mail at least three working days before collection. The Book Bus team can also put together themed book packages or Antolin book boxes for schools on request.

Only media that you have borrowed from the book bus can be returned to the book bus. A limited number of items from the Couvenstraße Central Library can also be returned to the book bus (max. 10). Unfortunately, more is not possible due to lack of space.

Stopping points & opening hours

The book bus stops at a total of 21 stops every week. The book bus does not stop during school vacations.

Important information about the book bus timetable

After the 2025 autumn vacations, the book bus will only make its stops every two weeks - and only in odd-numbered calendar weeks.

The stops and departure times remain unchanged.

Please note:

• The book bus will not be running again until calendar week 45 directly after the fall vacations.
• It will then continue as usual in the odd-numbered weeks (week 47, week 49 etc.).
• We ask for your understanding and continue to look forward to your visit!
