Special features of the district central library in Tegel

The Humboldt Library, designed as part of the International Building Exhibition in 1987 and opened in 1989, is an urban attraction . The elongated building with a classical-inspired entrance area was designed by the architect Charles Moore with a post-modern orientation. From the inside, it offers an impressive spatial experience in which different architectural epochs mix. The open spaces in the interior make it ideal for readings, exhibitions, concerts and award ceremonies. A diverse cultural program and extensive range of events ensure intensive use in this regard.

Projects

The STAERKER project was launched with the aim of profiling the library on the Schäfersee as a permanent place of learning and culture in the Lette-Kiez in Berlin. In the period from 2012 to 2014, numerous structural and structural improvements will be made, such as the establishment of a newspaper reading corner, the expansion of the Internet offering and the expansion of the intercultural book collection. The funding came from the Berlin program BIST - Libraries in the district of the ERDF (European Regional Fund).

The POSITIV project is a contribution to the participation of children and young people of different origins in the Märkisches Viertel. To this end, the Märkisches Viertel district library is being expanded into a meeting point as well as a place for learning, events and exchanges. In addition to increasing the media inventory, in particular the bilingual books, purchasing more comfortable furniture and necessary structural measures, new target group-specific events are being designed and implemented. This project is also co-financed by the BIST program - Libraries in the District .

With the participation in the project TENIVER - Technological innovation in the information supply also from funds of the EFRE Reinickendorf introduced the self-booking of media with the help of the RFID technology.
