Stadt Garten Library!

The Stadt Garten is fairly close to Cologne's city centre, yet a complete oasis of calm today ...

... it contains a small box-Library (pictured here) were you can freely borrow books to read - and, of course, return them; you can see some sitting on the doorstep awaiting the opening of the unit!

Cologne remains in the grip of a bit of a mini-heatwave.
