With over 150 enthusiastic visitors, the first "Night of the Libraries" in the Hof public library was a complete success. Under the nationwide motto "Knowledge.Share.Discover." the library opened its doors late into the night.

The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the Illumat, a very special wish-granting machine powered by human intelligence. Children in particular were blown away: from Hello Kitty and Easter bunnies to a flying guinea pig, the most imaginative wishes were lovingly put on paper. But adults didn't miss out either: even world peace was delivered, albeit initially only on paper.

Another highlight was the visit from Peter Krause, the German voice of Donald Duck, and his musical partner P.R. Kantate. They gave exciting insights behind the scenes of Disney productions and took the audience on an entertaining journey into the world of dubbing.

Later in the evening, photographer Volker Gerling presented a poetic journey through Central Europe, where he portrayed ordinary people he met during his wanderings in very unusual flip-books.

DJ Mocky and his team took care of the physical well-being, and the hard-working reading mentors and members of the Friends' Association volunteered to sell drinks.

Under the motto "Know. Share. Discover." over 8,000 libraries and bookshops across Germany took part in the event.
