Our youth library

We offer a large variety of media for young readers in all circumstances.

In our youth media section you can find books, journals, CDs, and of course your favorite shows and films on DVD.

We are also happy to offer support for all sorts of school projects and presentations and can help you find material relevant for your project. Please make an appointment by e-mail so that we have time for you.

We invite you to browse and have fun, to get information and to study – just stop by!

In the youth section of the library you also find information material on stays abroad in the USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. You will find more information on our USA Advising page.

You can find additional offers for yourself and your classmates in our new brochure d.a.i. @ school.
