Kita children discover music in the library of things!

On January 6, 2025, the children of the "Small and Large" daycare center received special visitors from the Hohenstücken district library and the project "A square kilometer education". As part of this event, the children had the opportunity to get to know and try out various musical instruments. The small musicians were available to drum, rattling, triangles, castanets, Agogo and Maracas. From now on these musical instruments can be loaned in the "Library of Things" of the Hohenstücken district library.

The project "A square kilometer education" provided the musical instruments from his project work in 2023.

In addition to the musical instruments, playmobile boxes, fire paint pistons and modeling tools can also be loaned in the library.
