ReadingWorlds in Cologne-Nippes: Picture book stories that make children's eyes shine
On September 25, 2026, ReadingWorlds invites you to a special storytelling session for children aged 3 and up at the Nippes community library. The event starts at 4:00 PM and combines listening together with the joy of strong images, stories, and language.
A family experience with closeness, tranquility, and imagination
For families, this creates a relaxed afternoon filled with children's laughter, wonder, and the joy of reading. The storytelling initiative ReadingWorlds has been active in Cologne since 2004 and organizes volunteer storytelling hours that are dialogical, interactive, and child-friendly. Listening, understanding, picture reading, and social skills are playfully promoted.
Why this storytelling is pedagogically valuable
ReadingWorlds works according to a literature pedagogical concept that actively involves children. The volunteers receive an introduction and training as well as a toolkit for dialogical storytelling. This creates a learning experience that strengthens language development, attention, and empathy while bringing the joy of books to life.
Well accessible and family-friendly organized
The Nippes community library is located in the district office of Nippes and is equipped according to the city of Cologne with a fully accessible entrance, elevator, and marked disabled parking spaces. The disabled toilet is accessible via the lending desk. This provides families with a reliable, clear, and safe environment for a library visit with children.
Free admission and ideal for a first foray into storytelling
The event is designed as an open family offering, particularly low-threshold, and thus ideal for a first visit to a storytelling hour. Those who excite children early for stories create valuable shared time and playfully build closeness to language, books, and culture.
Conclusion: ReadingWorlds in Cologne-Nippes brings lovingly told picture book stories, educational fun, and a calm library atmosphere to children aged 3 and up. Families experience a free storytelling hour with heart here. Mark your calendars now and discover the stories live.
