Schirm Scharm — Stories Under the Umbrella in the Park

On weekdays throughout the summer months, until September 23, the “Schirm-Scharm,” a mobile library, comes to Basel’s parks and greens spaces! A team of professional entertainers will spread out an umbrella, blanket, and lots of books, inviting children ages 0-12 to browse, play, do puzzles and crafts, or listen to stories.
