The Nordhorn City Library is the largest library in the Grafschaft Bentheim district , Lower Saxony .

history

The Nordhorn City Library goes back to a public library founded in 1873. After changing locations, in 2001 the main office was moved to a modern building on Büchereiplatz directly behind the Nordhorn town hall , where around 1,600 m² of space is available. In the same year the library received the Lower Saxony Library Prize from the VGH Foundation . After the Grafschaft Bentheim district withdrew from the sponsorship of the library in 2009, the library changed its name from Euregio-Bücherei to Nordhorn City Library.

Awards

Since 2009, the city library has been regularly rated by the German Library Association as one of the best libraries in Germany (2015 in the group “50,000–100,000 inhabitants”: 10th place at federal level, 1st place in Lower Saxony). On February 15, 2013, the Lower Saxony library center and the state government of Lower Saxony awarded her the first certificate "Library with Quality and Seal". In 2016 the library was recertified.
