Well... it's the children's library in Basel! JUKIBU means "Interkulturelle Bibliothek fur Kinder und Jugendliche"or in English, the Intercultural Library for Children and Young Persons. Easily accessible by tram 11, the blue french buses, on bike or on foot this library is amazing! It touts a collection of children's books in 50+ languages!!

Along with books, there are also DVDs, CDs, bilingual book readings and culture events!
The volunteers (no, they are NOT paid so be nice:)) are very friendly and ready to give you a tour or answer your questions. Try using your German skills, but don't worry if English is all you've got.
