What we offer

A place to discover, learn, spend time and connect with others.

Biblixi

On Wednesday afternoons, Biblixi turns the library into a creative meeting place for children. Stories, crafts, and games invite them to discover and explore — in German and other languages, with plenty of room for imagination.

Ready to Read

Ready to Read fosters a love of language, stories and books from the very beginning. The programme helps families support their children’s language development and gives everyone early access to the world of books.

Computers, Printing and the Internet Access

Documents can be printed and scanned at the library. Public PCs with headphones are available for internet access. Reading glasses can be borrowed on site. Our team is happy to help with any technical questions.

Digital Library

Access e-books, audiobooks, newspapers and other digital items online at any time.

Digital Support

If you have questions about the digital library or need help using a smartphone, tablet or e-reader, our team offers personal assistance. You are welcome to bring your own device to the consultation.

Learning and Work Spaces

The library provides spaces for studying, reading and working. Wi-Fi and power outlets are available. Different areas provide space to relax, exchange ideas or work independently.

Reading Tandem

The Reading Tandem supports children in grades 2 and 3 in developing their reading and speaking skills. Once a week, they meet with a reading mentor at the city library to read, play games, solve puzzles and talk together. This free programme strengthens language skills, enjoyment of reading and self-confidence.

Volunteers

Get involved, discover new things, and share your own ideas: At the Chur City Library, there are various opportunities to volunteer and help shape library life.

Items

Discover books, magazines, films, games, audio media and digital content in 18 languages, for all ages and interests.
