Carola Schelle-Wolff
Carola Schelle-Wolff (previously: Carola Schelle) (* 1955 ) is a German librarian . She is the director of the Hanover City Library and the Hanover City Archives .
Life
Carola Schelle grew up in Berlin and studied librarianship at the Free University of Berlin . In 1978 she graduated with a representation of women in GDR literature. After working in Essen , she first worked for the Hanover City Library from 1985, where she was soon responsible for public relations and in the literature and language department . In addition to this part -time position , she studied German and history at the University of Hanover and did her doctorate in 1994 at the seminar for German literature and language at the University of Hanover with a thesis on the Nuremberg printer and bookseller Hans Hergot .
In 1994 Carola Schelle-Wolff was head of the Hannover City Library for the first time, but only for a short time.
From 1995 to 2003 she took over the management of the Freiburg im Breisgau city library .
Back in Hanover, she became - together with Petra Martinsen - head of the library and school department. In 2004 Schelle-Wolff initiated the Hanover Reading Network , within the framework of which the Hanover Reading Festival took place from 2005 .
Carola Schelle-Wolff was a member of the board of directors of the German Library Association and in 2007 was a juror in the election of the “ Library of the Year ” in favor of the prison library of the Münster prison . She was re-elected as editor of the library journal BuB - together with Olaf Eigenbrodt (Departmental Library Language, Literature, Media at the University of Hamburg ) - with a term of office until June 30, 2014.
Together with Birgit Nerenberg and Martina Meyer , Carola Schelle-Wolff initiated the Lesestart Hannover association , founded in 2009 , which cooperates with paediatricians , is scientifically supported by the Leibniz University of Hanover and attracted nationwide attention: the goal of the association, in which Schelle-Wolff is an honorary member , is especially the early childhood language and reading promotion in families, crèches and kindergartens.
From July 15, 2009, Carola Schelle-Wolff also took over the management of the Museums and Culture Office . Since then, in addition to the Hanoverian libraries and the Hanover city archive, she has also been responsible for the three city museums and the culture office . Its departments comprise around 420 employees.
As public funds are becoming increasingly scarce, Carola Schelle-Wolff is committed to ongoing training, contemporary media skills and their applications. In August 2011, for example, self-service machines for borrowing and returning books were introduced in four buildings of the city library . At the main building in Hildesheimer Straße, an externally accessible self-service counter was installed for returning books at limited times. In total, "the city [... for self-service] has invested three million euros and is saving EUR 400,000 a year through the gradual reduction of 21 staff positions".
Since the proportion of young people with a migration background in Hanover who leave the general school without a (secondary) school leaving certificate is around 20%, a good twice as high as among students without a migration background, a special focus of Carola Schelle-Wolff's work is early support of training and career opportunities for this target group.
In February 2012, Carola Schelle-Wolff signed a cooperation agreement with the Wilhelm-Raabe-Schule , through which "from the 8th grade onwards, all high school students systematically get to know what the library has to offer". The ninth cooperation agreement with a Hanover school also includes teacher training . After signing the contract, schoolchildren presented a book slam for the first time in front of an audience, in which the Head of Culture and Schools Marlis Drevermann was also seated : With a special development from the city library, self-imagined commercials , rap or role-play are intended to "especially attract the young [...] in this way reading can be made palatable.
Carola Schelle-Wolff is Deputy Chairwoman of the Scientific Advisory Board of the German Institute for Adult Education - Leibniz Center for Lifelong Learning (DIE) .
In September 2017, Schelle-Wolff started a 1-year test run for the "library without staff" in the Hanover-List branch. In addition to the regular opening hours with staffing (32 hours per week), readers can open the doors and use the premises on 20 additional opening hours per week with a chip card reader and entering a special code.
