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.

KreativCafé - Together | Cozy | Designing
With the "KreativCafé", the city library offers a place where creative people aged 16 and over can come together once a month to work on creative projects under the motto "Gemeinsam | Gemütlich | Gestalten".
Participants can exchange ideas, be inspired and pursue their hobby together in a relaxed atmosphere. Everyone can bring their own project, present it to the others and share it with them. From knitting to watercolor to upcycling, anything is possible. Any hobby is welcome.
At each meeting, the library prepares a small project for the participants to work on. At the first meeting, participants can learn how to make beautiful flowers from pipe cleaners.
"Chibi! Painting in manga style"
Chibis are small and cute! In February, chibi style figures will be painted for the first time at the "Area 51" youth and cultural center. Under the guidance of Jennifer Nevolin, former TH intern at Hilden City Library, chibis will be drawn together in a relaxed atmosphere.
Chibis are figures in a drawing style typical of manga. They can be recognized by their small body and large head, as well as their large eyes. A maximum of eight young people can learn the first steps to drawing chibis together and then try their hand at it.
The event is aimed at young people aged twelve and over. Participation is free of charge, but limited, so the library asks for a binding registration from 27.01.26 via our participation portal.
Please note: this event for young people will take place at Area 51, Furtwänglerstr. 2B in 40724 Hilden.
