Summer Reading and Storytelling 2026 at the Konz City Library
Reading, being read to, and getting creative: The starting signal for this year's [event/program] will be given on June 15, 2026, at the Konz City Library. Reading and Storytelling Summer in Rhineland-Palatinate The successful nationwide reading promotion campaign, which runs until August 16th, has been a fixture of the city library's summer program for many years. Last year, around 1000 children immersed themselves in the world of books.
This year, the Konz city library welcomes participants for the first time at its new location in administration building II, Am Markt 11. Around 1300 new books await the children, ready to be read or read to.
Participation in both events is free. Registration is possible from June 1st, 2026, directly at the Konz City Library.
Children and young people aged six to 16 can participate in the summer reading program, while the summer reading program is aimed at children from the age of two. After registering, participants have the opportunity to borrow current children's and young adult books exclusively and free of charge.
For every book read or read aloud, children submit a "book check" and collect stamps on their club card. Those who read or have at least three books read to them during the summer holidays will be rewarded with a certificate and a small prize. Attractive prizes also await in the nationwide raffle – including, as the grand prize, a family stay at Europa-Park Rust with its Rulantica water park.
