Outing Report: Phantastic Library in Wetzlar

Hello, my dear Readers!

Yes, I know, it's been a long time. I won't make any promises for posting more often because... let's face it, a blog is like a diary and most of the time I just forget writing something @_@ Sorry!
Nonetheless I am happy if somebody actually reads, or, dare I say, even comments anything.

This post is about the Phantastic Library ("Die Phantastische Bibliothek") in Wetzlar.
I had an outing with some students and our teacher from university and I was amazed by the concept. The website can be found [url=http://www.phantastik.eu]here[/url] - it is a library dedicated to collect novels and short stories of the Science-Fiction and Fantasy genre as well as fairytales, adventure novels, fanzines and lots more. They also offer courses on writing, reading, working with theories from Science-Fiction novels and more...! Sound interesting? Oh yes, it is. I'd just LOVE to move there. Because, well... everyone who knows me knows that books are one of my favourite addictions. I can be unnerving when browsing bookstores and I always have at least one book in my purse.
Care to see some of the photos I took?

This is the building. Only complete with the dragons!!!

And... books everywhere <3

To be fair, I'm not much of a Sci-Fi fan myself. But they had a whole room dedicated to Perry Rhodan and what they did with the books was... impressive. (They had the full collection several times, I suppose. I love the table!)

The children's reading/playing room. It was just so cute!

My favourite room was the one for fairytales. It was small and the collection is, too, but there was a special chair for a storyteller!

So if you are in Wetzlar, Hessen, Germany one day and have a loooot of time to read (because you will want do stay there after seeing all of the beautiful books!), visit this library. These are only a few impressions... it might seem like a small house, but there is so much to see! And all of the rooms have been carefully decorated... I love it!

Thanks for reading <3
