"Whoever takes part wins, whether as a school child or as a sponsor!" With this motto, headmaster Kornelius Knettel (GGS Sonnenstrasse), Heinz Mölder (Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Children's Foundation "Reading Educates") and City Director Burkhard Hintzsche (State Capital Düsseldorf), the library marathon 2021 for the 290 girls and boys of the community elementary school. With the active support of four teachers, a concept was developed that can make all children happy and proud with a sponsored run in the second quarter of 2021.
“If dreams are to come true, every now and then you need adults who are willing to get involved. This applies to small and large projects, including the establishment of a new, larger library room, "says Kornelius Knettel, Heinz Mölder and Burkhard Hintzsche.
The move to a new room planned for summer 2021, the expansion of the book inventory and the purchase of new media will cost around 42,000 euros one-time.

Every individual achievement is rewarded, regardless of whether a child has run 100, 422 or even 844 meters or more. In the finish area, every girl and boy receives a lovingly from the agency LOCKSTOFF Design, Meerbusch, designed running medal.
