Intercultural media and events for children

Promoting reading in a child’s mother tongue has a positive impact on the acquisition of the second language and consequently also on a child’s learning success in school. To support children in improving their reading skills in their mother tongue and learning foreign languages, the Vienna Public Libraries offer numerous media for children in various languages.

The Vienna Public Libraries offer books, audio books, films and comics in the following languages:Drei Mädchen in der Kinderabteilung der Hauptbücherei © Julia Wesely
