Schorndorf celebrates: New open bookcase for all book lovers!
A new place for book lovers and bookworms has now been opened in Schorndorf: the “Open Bookcase” at Sigmund-v.-Puchberg-Platz 2. The initiative was launched by Silke Klöppel and sets an important example for the reading culture in the community. The goal is clear: to connect book lovers who want to share their stories and curious people who are looking for fresh reading material. As mittelbayerische.de reports, the shelves can be used around the clock free of charge, anonymously and without formalities.
The concept is simple and lives from the dynamics of exchange. Anyone who has removed a book can keep it or exchange it back for another. The local library is also involved in the idea; The director, Aloisa Engl, sees the bookcase as a valuable addition to promoting reading. Mayor Max Schmaderer praised Silke Klöppel for her commitment and was quickly able to find a suitable location for the bookcase. The location was strategically unfavorable: the bookcase is in the day care courtyard - protected from the weather, barrier-free and well lit.
A place for everyone
One of the advantages of this new initiative is that users do not need a library card. Everyone can simply bring their own bookshelf or choose a good book from the selection. The range is constantly changing and brings a breath of fresh air into the reading habits of Schorndorfers. The bookcase is not only a place for books, but also a cozy place - equipped with seating, it invites you to take a break and immerse yourself in the stories.
Experts Karl Gschwender and Stefanie Reitinger also highlighted the great benefits for seniors and the entire community. Especially in a time when digital media often predominates, the bookcase offers a great opportunity to promote reading and strengthen community.
