A compact children's library

A compact children's library, however, thanks to its incredibly hospitable staff and dedicated volunteers, it serves as a delightful little nook. They offer numerous workshops in various languages aimed at younger children (up to roughly 6 years old) at no cost, and an assortment of books in many different languages. There's an annual membership fee of 30 euros to borrow books, but you're more than welcome to read on-site should you decide not to become a member. They are quite lenient if you're overdue on returning a book by a few days or if you wish to borrow a handful more than the allowed limit. I've discovered a few titles that we completely adored. An extremely pleasant library for preschoolers and primary school-aged children. Their collection of Greek books is somewhat limited, however, we managed to find the brilliant 'Totos and Totina' and 'my sister Clara'. I harbor hopes that more Greek mothers will start to frequent this compact library, which will undeniably lead to an increase in Greek titles. In addition to books, the library also conducts interactive sessions like story-telling and reading clubs to encourage the habit of reading among young children. They also organize regular events for children, like art and craft workshops, puppet shows, and book launches, to keep them engaged and intrigued. The staff is always ready to help and guide the children in choosing the right books according to their age and interest. They also have a comfortable seating area for children to sit and read peacefully. Furthermore, the library is well-organized and clean, making it a safe and comfortable environment for children. The volunteers are constantly working to improve the library, adding new books and creating new activities for the children. They truly make efforts to ensure that every child feels welcomed and enjoys their time at the library. Despite its small size, the library has a lot to offer and is a great place for children to learn and grow.
