The Kassel libraries - the University Library, the Kassel City Library, the Archive of the German Women's Movement, the Kirchditmold Library and the Fasanenhof District Library - are also joining the campaign and inviting people to their libraries. Together they are organizing the evening under the title: "Kassel Library Night". Visitors can explore the five participating institutions from 5 p.m. until midnight. This year's motto is: Knowledge.Share.Discover.

In addition to extended opening hours, there will be a varied program of events for all generations. Readings, musical events, demonstrations, library tours and hands-on activities such as arts and crafts and gaming stations are planned.
