The world's youth literature on one page
Founded in 1949, the International Youth Library is the world's largest library for international children's and youth literature. The new website is intended to present the diversity of offerings and various areas of focus in a clear manner, appealing to children and teenagers as well as an international professional audience.
Status
The International Youth Library (IJB) was founded in 1949 by journalist and Jewish exile Jella Lepman as a reeducation project. It is the world's first library for international children's and youth literature. Jella Lepman aimed to build bridges to the world with children's books and thus contribute to a peaceful, free and democratic future.
Since then, the IJB has been continuously expanded into an internationally recognized cultural institution. On the one hand, it serves as an archive for the valuable and unique collections, and on the other hand, as a place for encounters, international exchange and cultural education for children and young people.
Task
To do justice to this complex range, the IJB was supposed to have a website that provides access quickly and as barrier-free as possible to the event offerings and catalogue of this specialised library.
Quite simple!
Büro Alba has developed a design that allows for easy access to the content with clear and simple navigation and layout - for adults as well as for children and teenagers. Events and exhibitions can be quickly found, and there is direct access to the library's catalogue.
