Library Projects

La Lampadina has collaborated with Eindhoven's central library:

Italian children's book collection at Eindhoven Library

The Eindhoven Library has started a pilot to include Italian and Chinese books in its children's collection. This is a wonderful opportunity for these language communities to promote reading in the home language. After six months it will be determined whether or not the international collection can continue and expand to include additional languages.

The Italian children's collection is now available at the Eindhoven library, with several hundred books for children aged 0 to 12. The books are categorized into five different age groups /types and can be checked out by children with an Eindhoven library card (free).
