New books for Children's and youth library Totschka

Dear supporter,

our children's and youth library Totschka (@totschka_berlin) was launched in summer 2022. Since then, we have moved into a bright space in Berlin Tempelhof-Schöneberg, where about 2,500 books for children and young people are waiting for young readers. We are happy to welcome new faces to the library every week.

Many of the beautiful books you will find in Totschka come from private collections, some were donated and others were bought new. The languages of our book collection are Russian, Ukrainian and German. This year we are expanding the collection with books in Belarusian. Funny book illustrations, absurd characters, complex themes, contagious smiles, unusual questions, dangerous twists and exciting inventions - all this you can discover in our books. With a curious eye, we follow the current trends in children's and boys' literature in search of new titles, modern authors and illustrators.

We want this diversity to continue to grow in our library and therefore plan to present new books every month. To this end, we plan to raise sufficient funds for book purchases through annual crowdfunding campaigns. The funds will be used to purchase books for children and young adults throughout the year. When selecting titles, we naturally take into account the wishes and needs of our visitors. In this way we can grow together.

Your support and donations are very important and valuable for our project. Let's make the world more colorful, open, free, imaginative and safer together!

 

Thank you for your help and best regards,

Your Totschka
