The Public Library of Frankfurt am Main (Germany)

In 2002 The International Library was opened in the Gallus Branch. The International Library is comprised of: 

• A special collection of materials in German acquired in response to the needs of the target group. 
• 4 ‘self-learning’ workspaces. 
• An interactive introduction to the library focused on active participation, and tailored to the target group of adults with little knowledge of German. 
• A PC Literacy Lernstudio comprising 6 computers equipped with appropriate software for alphabetisation, learning German and text editing. The Literacy Lernstudio also has a mixed-media stock of picture books, educational games, teaching and learning material, for the promotion of adult literacy. 
• Staff training in intercultural competences.

Role of the participant organization in the project:

The Library is responsible for the expertise of the work of local libraries with the focus on intercultural offers and services.
