- Accessibility
- The route to the entrance is guided, smooth, wide and lit. The entrance has at least four turning steps and a heavy door. A wheelchair-accessible lift reaches the library floor, where there is an accessible toilet. The reading session is in the Story Room. A dog is present at the event. If a dog allergy, fear of dogs or another individual need affects participation, confirm the arrangements with the library before visiting.
Plan your visit
- Practical notes
- Each reading time lasts about 15 minutes in the Story Room, with one reader at a time. Bring a book or choose one from the library. The dog is a reading companion, not a playmate; ask the handler before petting. Readers may use any language.
- Schedule notes
- Five Wednesday sessions run from 2026-09-09 to 2026-12-09, 17:00–18:30. The gaps vary between three and four weeks.
