Summertime Tales at Düsseldorf City Library with Sandra Kügler and Lola Lash
Revised Article:
A Spectacular Storytime Fiasco at the Kibi Library
Meet Lieselotte the Cow, who, in a whimsical twist, decides to fly a kite indoors. Spoiler alert: it doesn't end well. In another saga, Lieselotte transforms her cozy den beneath the elderberry bush into a vibrant circus tent. However, our focus isn't on Lieselotte, but on the extraordinary event that took place at the children's library.
The Social Media Storm
Contrary to the anticipated outrage, no little minds were exposed to inappropriate content at the city library on Saturday, despite the concerns of the self-proclaimed moral guardians. The Düsseldorf city libraries justified the storytime with Lola Lash when the Instagram backlash ensued, explaining, "The children should learn to embrace diversity and see that everyone is unique in their own way."
Ignoring the Adult Drama
Unbothered by the adult debate brewing outside, the kids continued to engage in lively conversations, sharing summer holiday stories and flaunting their tricks between chapters. A boisterous group of eight to ten kids had graced the library that morning, requesting more stories. And both readers were more than happy to oblige. The stories weren't just read aloud; they were projected onto a large screen, providing ample opportunities for discovering intricate details.
A Passion for Reading
During a reading break, Lola shed light on her role as a drag queen, upon being asked by our website: "As a drag queen, I can embrace any role I desire. It's all about expressing myself and having fun." Notably, her fondness for the library stemmed from her frequent visits as a child. "The detective stories of 'The Three Investigators' have stayed with me," Lola reveals, a reminiscent smile dancing across her face.
Bystanders at the Entrance
Unnoticed by the enthusiastic storytime goers, a small gathering of approximately 15 individuals congregated outside the library entrance. A police patrol car walked by, briefly scrutinizing the crowd, before driving off. Sadly, the Instagram mob chose to stay hidden, unwilling to challenge their preconceived notions.
In the midst of the captivating storytelling, some adults showcased their contrasting interests, gathering at the library entrance to debate on social media commotions, far from the engaging home-and-garden themed tales of transformation and the lively lifestyle stories about the remarkable drag queen, Lola. Despite their presence, the children continued to immerse themselves in entertainment and learning, sharing their summer experiences and showing off their reading prowess on the large screen, proving that the library offers more than just a shelter for books.
