Where Words Become Worlds:
The Gmunden Public Library opens its “purple cave”
to young explorers

Sometimes it doesn’t take much for a great adventure—just cozy pillows
on the floor, a historic vaulted ceiling, and exciting, funny, and
surprising stories…



Starting Tuesday, October 6, 2026, the Gmunden Public Library is expanding its program for
families to include a regular story time, transforming its “purple cave”
into an oasis of imagination. Children ages 4 and up and their guardians are warmly
invited to embark on journeys of discovery.
Every first Tuesday of the month, from 3:00 p.m. to about 3:30 p.m., the kids can
really get cozy. Stories will be read aloud from the library’s vast collection
library: from “loud and funny” to “quiet as a mouse,” from “I wouldn’t have
expected that” to “Ooooh, that’s exciting.” Joining in, getting caught up in the excitement, and chatting along
is definitely encouraged!
Admission to this adventurous break is free. Since seating on the cushions
are limited, the library team asks that you register in advance (07612/794-430,
stadtbuecherei@gmunden.ooe.gv.at).
The “Purple Cave” is located on the first floor of the city library. Unfortunately, there is no elevator.
Strollers can be parked on the ground floor.
