Reading brings laughter to children: The RW21 storytimes enchant Bayreuth families

A lovingly designed family experience awaits in the children's library of RW21: Every Saturday at 11:00 AM, children aged 4 and older listen to funny, exciting, and adventurous stories – free of charge and age-appropriate. Volunteer reading mentors read aloud, and afterwards, activities related to the story, such as painting or crafting, take place. Together, this transforms time into enjoyable learning.

Little ears, big stories

Upon arrival, families feel the warm welcome of the children's library. In the group forum, images in the mind emerge as words come to life. Children curiously follow the narratives, marvel, laugh, and discover characters, places, and emotions. Afterwards, small hands grab pencils, scissors, and paper – creative learning experiences that strengthen family bonds.

Educational value – learning to read playfully

The storytime sessions are designed for children: They promote language development, vocabulary, and concentration. Through dialogues, questions, and the subsequent craft activities, reading motivation, storytelling skills, and fine motor skills are enhanced. The format is appropriately age-structured, provides security through clear rituals, and sustainably supports early reading enjoyment.

Safe and secure – designed with accessibility in mind

The RW21 was planned with maximum accessibility in mind. Wide pathways for strollers, elevators with tactile operation and audio announcements, as well as a disabled toilet, make visiting easier for families with small children and mobility-impaired relatives. A mobile induction loop supports hearing-impaired guests at events – fostering an inclusive sense of community.

Easy arrival – right in the heart of Bayreuth

Families can conveniently reach RW21 by bus (near ZOH) or by car. There are parking options in the vicinity, including the Sternplatz underground garage (P8), short-term parking on Dilchertstraße, and nearby parking garages. If a break is needed after reading, the LeseCafé21 offers child-friendly snacks and drinks.

Voices of parents

Conclusion: Families can expect a loving storytime with crafting activities that spark curiosity and strengthen reading joy – free of charge, accessible, and central. Experience the RW21 storytime live and gift your children stories that last.
