The Festival Library is growing! The gifts from our guest artists, which offer insights into their reading and the themes that currently concern them, document the eventful and challenging years 2021-2023. The books can be borrowed if you leave a deposit at the Pappelwaldkantine. After the festival, the collection will be donated to Bochum City Library.
