Surprise Picture Book Cinema or Kamishibai: Cinema without Electricity – Great Stories for Young Explorers

A loving family afternoon awaits at the Gerthe branch library: Every Thursday, children aged 3 and above experience a surprise picture book cinema or kamishibai at 16:30. Free entry, cozy atmosphere, lots of children's laughter – perfect for quality time together and learning fun.

Cinema without Electricity: Pictures Come to Life

In kamishibai, large picture cards travel through a wooden frame, the story unfolds up close – child-friendly, vivid, sensory. In picture book cinema, illustrations shine large on the wall. Even the youngest are amazed, expand their vocabulary, and develop a curiosity for reading.

Ages Appropriate and Safe

The event is aimed at children aged 3 and above. Readers design the stories in an age-appropriate manner and at a calm pace. The format takes place indoors – a real bad weather offer. Parents stay, strengthening bonds and providing their children with security.

Learning Fun with Educational Plus

Kamishibai promotes attention, language development, and storytelling competence. Through questions and participation, children experience self-efficacy, practice perspective-taking, and discover values like friendship and helpfulness – a valuable building block for development.

Practical for Families

The Gerthe branch library is located at the school center Nord on Heinrichstraße 4. There is free entry; no registration is required. On-site, library-experienced staff provides assistance – friendly, patient, family-oriented.

Voices of Parents

The reactions from parents are clear: Picture book cinema delights families. On Facebook, a mother writes: 'Perfect family afternoon – our little one was all ears!' A father adds: 'Child-friendly, calm, and yet exciting – reading aloud is fun for everyone.'

Conclusion: Family experience with heart: lively stories, shining children's eyes, relaxed time together. Just come by, find a spot, marvel together – and awaken a love for reading.
