Young Literature Festival 2026

Two weeks full of stories, creativity and discoveries: Aachen City Library invites you to a varied program for schools, daycare centers, children and families in June 2026. In the morning, the focus will be on inspiring readings with well-known authors - a special experience to promote reading in the classroom. In the afternoon, the central library in Couvenstraße and the Depot and Haaren district libraries will be open for creative workshops, music, games and joint discovery. Whether as a class excursion or a family afternoon - we look forward to welcoming many curious visitors! As always, all events are free of charge.
