To further expand the selection of travel books at the public library and offer as many travel destinations as possible, the library, in collaboration with the travel agency World Wide Tickets GmbH, is launching a travel guide donation drive from September 1 through October 31, 2026. - After all, travel guides are as popular as ever!

Many vacationers bring home well-preserved travel guides after returning from their trips, which often end up unused on the bookshelf. By donating these books, you can help other travelers plan their vacations while also enriching the library’s collection with many exciting travel destinations.

We are looking for travel guides in good condition that are no more than three years old, have no stains or damage, and are written in German. In addition to classic country and city guides, specialized guides—such as those for hiking, cycling, or families with children—are also welcome.

As a thank-you, all donors will receive a travel voucher worth 10 euros. Additionally, a travel voucher worth 100 euros will be raffled off among all participants.

Through this campaign, the library combines sustainability with the promotion of reading and invites people to give these useful travel guides a second life. Every donation helps to further expand the highly sought-after collection of current travel literature and makes travel planning easier for many people.
