Build, program, draw, and discover free workshops at the ZomerBieb!

Looking for something fun this summer? Come to the Summer Library! From Tuesday, July 15th, through Sunday, August 24th, children aged 8 to 12 can participate in all sorts of creative and educational activities at the KopGroep libraries, including School 7 in Den Helder.

Make, build, draw and play

Learn to play chess at a real chess clinic, build with kilos of Lego, draw your own cartoons, or program a robot at CoderDojo. Or decorate porcelain with polka dots. Prefer theater? That's possible too. Schagen Theater School offers a workshop where you can let loose on stage.

Also for the little ones

For children aged 2 to 6, there's Reading XL. On Wednesday afternoons, they listen to a lovely story and then make something beautiful. This way, you can create something special together from an ordinary afternoon.
