Today is the future day for young people

These days you will find selected books for young people on our yellow Bookcrossing shelf at the entrance.
You can keep these books or put them out for other people to read at another place (e.g. bus stop, café…). However, as the name Bookcrossing suggests, the principle is to pass on the books.

We would be happy to hear where the books are travelling to. To keep track of these journeys, you can register or enter your books on the Bookcrossing website.

We recommend titles on the subject of “child researchers”. You can find them in our catalogue with the keyword “Kinderforscher“. You are welcome to borrow these books by booking them.

October 24 – Libraries Day

You are familiar with our library at the TU Hamburg. But do you also know the others? The Hamburg libraries in the German Library Association e.V. represent the diversity of library services in Hamburg. Most of them are open to the public and stand for information literacy, media education, reading promotion and enabling cultural and social participation for all citizens.
