From picking up a book on a travelling library bus to learning about planets and stepping into the world of Surrealist art, the last week of February offers plenty of activities to keep you and your kids entertained.
Readers in Pétange and Rodange can visit the Bicherbus, Luxembourg’s travelling library, when it stops in the commune as part of its weekly route across the country. The mobile library serves 81 localities and offers a wide selection of books and materials for readers of all ages.
The Bicherbus brings library services directly to local communities, allowing visitors to browse and borrow books without needing to travel to a permanent library branch. The service operates across Luxembourg through 14 weekly routes.
On Monday 23 February, the Bicherbus will stop at Place J.F. Kennedy in Pétange from 11.15 to 11.45. In case of events, the stop will move to the school pick-up point on Rue de l’Église.
Later the same day, it will visit Rodange, stopping at the Sportshal car park (Rue Jos Moscardo) from 13.15 to 14.15.
