Science is fun! – Experiment Day in the Library in the Rathauspassage

The Paderborn City Library invites you to an exciting day of experiments on Sunday, November 5th in the Library in the Rathauspassage. 

There are questions upon questions and a day full of answers - for example:

  • Why does the tongue stick to the ice cream?
  • Why do balloons get smaller over time?
  • Why does soap foam?
  • How does a thunderstorm form?
  • Why does a candle burn?
Children aged 6 and over can expect exciting experiments and a very special event, because the city library has invited science entertainer Joachim Hecker.

Joachim Hecker inspires large audiences worldwide with his performances and this Sunday he is coming to the library in the Rathauspassage from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. and showing an amazing experimental show.

Whether big or small, young or old – everyone is welcome at his show “Science is fun!”

After the experiment show, anyone interested can carry out their own small experiments at various hands-on stations.

You can also browse the library from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Borrowing and returning media is also possible on this day.

Participation is free. No prior registration is required.

If you have any questions, you can use the contact form on the city library website with the subject “Experiment Day”.

The Sunday opening is supported by the Ministry of Culture and Science of North Rhine-Westphalia.
