Gamezone in Jena: Gaming Afternoon for Youth at the Ernst-Abbe-Library
The Gamezone combines real library vibes with gaming fun on September 29, 2026: Youth aged 12 and up meet at the Ernst-Abbe-Library in Jena for some gaming at the gaming tower. The offer is free of charge, accessible, and invites for a relaxed, shared afternoon. ([stadtbibliothek-jena.de](https://www.stadtbibliothek-jena.de/de/veranstaltungen/1031618?template_id=6130))
Play together, discover and unwind
The focus here is on the family and youth experience: Friends come together, try out video games, and experience media literacy in a practical way. Controllers can be borrowed from the info desk in the youth area against a deposit; a library card, student ID, monthly ticket, or identity card is sufficient.

Aging-appropriate for youth aged 12 and up
The Gamezone is clearly aimed at older children and teenagers. For younger gaming fans, the library refers to the Game on offer on Thursdays in the workshop. This keeps the format child-friendly and age-appropriate separate. ([stadtbibliothek-jena.de](https://www.stadtbibliothek-jena.de/de/veranstaltungen/1031618?template_id=6130))
