At the end of April there will be another network of readers and listeners. It's time again for the Leverkusen book week 'Lev liest' (Lev reads) with a wide range of events and activities related to books and reading. 'Lev liest' is organised by the city library and the office of education. The organisers work in cooperation with schools, adult education centres, free theatres, cultural event organisers and societies, the communal cinema, local press, local radio, book shops and other partners for trade and industry. That means another exciting and very varied programme of events this year.
The Bayer 04 Fan Project is again involved this year with an event. This time Ronny Blaschke has been invited to read from his new book 'Gesellschaftsspielchen'. In this work the author presents a critical analysis of social commitment on the part of German football clubs and individual players. The evening we rounded off by a short summary of individual projects at Bayer 04 as well as a round table discussion.
The event is being held on Thursday 27 April at 19.00 CET at the Stadioneck at Karl-Marx-Str. 36. The entrance charge is five euros. Further information and the whole programme of events is available at www.levliest.de.
