Movie Unveiling, Crime Drama, and Artistic Recognition Ceremony
The Ibbenbüren City Library recently hosted a grand celebration, marking the conclusion of the summer Reading Club 2025 on 16th September. The event was filled with excitement and recognition, honouring the most creative ideas in various categories.
The highlight of the evening was the presentation of "The Book of 1000 Secrets," a film created during the summer Reading Club workshop. Directed by Thomas Flechtner, the film was a testament to the creativity and teamwork that flourished during the project. You can watch the film here.
The award ceremony was not just about recognising artistic achievements. Library director Dagmar Schnittker welcomed the guests and thanked all participants, sponsors, and supporters for an unforgettable summer Reading Time 2025. The event was also graced by the presence of Mayor Dr. Marc Schrameyer, who emphasised the importance of promoting reading.
In the creative categories, the award for the most beautiful cover design went to Die Bücherfresser (Emily and Milan Baals). Noah and Jakob Wielage were honoured for their most creative own contribution. The award for the coolest logbook photo was won by Ediz Erdogan, while Hennes Zahn took home the award for best storytelling. Jule Albers was recognised for the most creative logbook design, and handverLESEN (Keke, Bente, Lukas, and Petra Schulenkorf) received the award for the most original team name.
The city's young talent was also celebrated. Sorina Al Diebo, Smilla Hoppe, Federica Quiroga, Nora Raabe, Jorin Rieger, Leenke Rieger, Anouk Schulte-Varendorff, Polina Sharkova, Clint and Emily Uhlmann, and Hennes Zahn were winners of the lottery.
The summer Reading Club is one of the largest reading promotion projects in North Rhine-Westphalia, funded by the Ministry of Culture and Science of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and is under the responsibility of the Specialist Office for Public Libraries NRW since the project year 2024. The film workshop was funded by the Ministry of Culture and Science of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia within the framework of SchreibLand NRW, an initiative of the Literature Office NRW, supported by the Association of Libraries NRW.
The event also saw a special story award. The story, which was about the mayor and a theft in the town hall, added an exciting twist to the evening's proceedings. Meanwhile, Die Bücherwürmchen (Lou and Smilla Hoppe) won the award for the best animated film.
As the evening drew to a close, the city library team expressed their gratitude to all and looked forward to the next summer Reading Club next year. The celebration was a fitting tribute to the power of reading and the creative spirit that it inspires.
