De LocHal viert 5-jarig bestaan-1

Book Week is 90 years old, and it is being celebrated in a big way at the LocHal Library. From March 12 to 23, everything will be dedicated to the theme “Mother Tongue.

Your mother tongue is the language in which you feel most connected - whether it is your mother's language or the language in which you speak, write, sing and cheer.
