A warm welcome!
The Hilden City Library is spread over a total of three floors, all of which are barrier-free.
There is a magazine area on the first floor with magazines on a wide range of topics. Daily newspapers can be read comfortably anywhere in the house. Family, children's and strategy games are available in the board games area. Books on gaming and video games for the Nintendo Switch, Playstation 5 and other consoles round off the range of games.
There is also a separate section with Blu-rays and DVDs for young people and adults as well as the lending bar. The LeihBar is a library of things, so items such as a mini projector, action cam, sewing machine and much more can be borrowed.
The 1st floor houses the novel section, the children's department, the "Generation Plus" location, audio books and the parents' library. The youth section and our study room are located on the 2nd floor, as are the internet café and the non-fiction books for adults. In addition, the city library offers numerous seating options that invite you to linger.
Online media management
Via the union catalog "Bibnet" you can perform searches at any time, view your current account overview, renew borrowed media and use the digital media offers.
Seed library
From 21 March, it's that time again:
Anyone interested can borrow seeds free of charge, grow them and return the seeds they have collected.
With this special offer, the library is continuing its commitment to sustainability, environmental education and the preservation of biodiversity.
The seed library works according to a simple principle: participants choose from various seed-resistant varieties, grow the plants - in their own garden, on the balcony or in a raised bed - and allow some of them to reach seed maturity. The resulting seeds can then be returned to the library.
Please only bring 1-2 seed bags per person. The loan is
during opening hours, only while stocks last.
