How do we get children to read?
Like this?
Or like this?
“We want children to read books, but we don’t want to tell them they have to read. That would make it boring.”
“In our exhibitions, children get to discover the world of books. Now, THAT's fun.”
And don’t tell anyone …
… but we think that sometimes even adults want to have a giggle.
Our vision is to contribute to a democratic and equal society where all children can read, take part in cultural life and grow into curious and creative people.

By reading and being read to, children acquire a language.
And a language opens doors.
