Vacation Time to Participate: Creative Picture Frame Workshop in Buer
In the Buer district library, a lovingly designed vacation workshop awaits children aged 6 to 12 years. At Summer Holidays in Buer: Please be Nice!, participants create a beautiful picture frame for their favorite photo and take home a personal keepsake at the end. The event takes place on August 31, 2026 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM and is intended for families as a creative, child-friendly vacation experience. Registration is free, and the event itself is without charge. ([gelsenkirchen.de](https://www.gelsenkirchen.de/de/_meta/veranstaltungskalender/96300-sommerferien-in-buer-bitte-recht-freundlich))
Creative Crafting with Vacation Feel
From a simple frame, a true favorite piece is crafted here. Children are invited to bring a photo sized up to 12 x 12 cm and create something personal that reminds them of summer vacation or brings joy as a gift. Such hands-on activities promote fine motor skills, concentration, and creativity in an age-appropriate way.

A Place That Caters to Families
The Buer district library in Linden-Karree is set up as a family library and offers a child-friendly environment with selected, age-appropriate media offerings. An elevator is available for visitors with strollers and walkers. In addition, there is Wi-Fi, a copier, a scanner, and a diverse program for children and parents.

Pedagogical Value with Real Benefit
The workshop combines crafting together with a small success experience: children plan, create, and take home a visible result at the end. This strengthens self-efficacy, patience, and the joy of their own work. The Gelsenkirchen City Library explicitly supports reading promotion and cultural education through its work with children and families.
