During the opening, children and their parents were introduced to stories in Dutch and Arabic. A new multilingual story time is scheduled for Wednesday, November 25th, focusing on Dutch and Ukrainian.
The Language Point serves as an accessible space for non-native residents to practice Dutch at their own pace. The offerings include books in simple language, newspapers, audio stories, films, and other practice materials, aimed at facilitating language engagement outside of formal classes.
In addition to Dutch, other home languages are also accommodated. Visitors can find books available in both Dutch and another language, allowing them to maintain their native tongue while improving their Dutch.
The Language Point is located in the library at Hoogstraat 124 and is accessible during regular opening hours.
The multilingual story time at the opening, where the same story was read in Dutch and Arabic by different readers, aimed to introduce children to various languages and bring families together around stories.
