50 years of Haaren district library - celebrate with us!

The Haaren district library is 50 years old - and we would like to celebrate this with you! Since June 23, 1975, the library in the Welsche Mühle has been a central place for education, culture and encounters in Haaren and Verlautenheide. After extensive renovation, it now shines in new splendor - with more quality of stay for all generations.
