THORNICO LIBRARY

In THORNICO, we aim to create a feeling and sense of meaning, value and identity in each of the THORNICO group companies as for the individual employee. To support a corporate culture across the THORNICO world, we have developed and are constantly thinking of new platforms and activities that celebrate the dedication of our employees as well as keep engaging them through different initiatives.

One of these initiatives being our THORNICO Library.

We have given each of our Danish headquarters a library of books; handpicked, read and specially selected by our CEO and owner, Christian Stadil. It is our wish that the library will be a “space” which will inspire and motivate our hardworking and dedicated colleagues - the backbone of our conglomerate.

I think the THORNICO Library is a great idea! I have always been very fond of books, and I still am.
I love reading – both fiction and non-fiction because it really trickers your imagination, fantasy and inspiration. The brain is a muscle, and the more you use it, the stronger it will get. I have also heard that “leaders are readers” – I don’t know if it’s true, but I am quite sure that reading doesn’t hurt.

The great thing about the THORNICO Library is that I have easy access to a variety of books, where some are not what I normally read. But that’s exactly a great way to expand your horizon within reading habits. I have read “Michelle Obama – My history” – a book I have thought of buying many times. Now suddenly I could borrow it. A fantastic and inspiring book, by the way. And now I am reading “Sapiens – a brief history of mankind” – a book I would probably never have read had it not been for the THORNICO Library.

I am reading just about the same amount as always – maybe a bit more – but I am to a higher extent reading other types of books, which is great. So THORNICO Library is for sure a plus for me as an employee, and I hope many more books will come.

I think the THORNICO Library is a great initiative! I have always loved reading. When I was a child I would spend my summers devouring book after book (and my mum was always obliged to take me to the library to get new ones!). Now, instead, I have a library in my workplace, isn’t it amazing? Above all, there are both English and Danish books, so I can practice my Danish skills by reading some interesting new books.

To me, the THORNICO library is a strong message, it shows the importance of books, in an era of Netflix and chill.

Even though I have some moments in which I am way too busy to read, I have now the routine to read a couple of chapters per day, and it is something that I definitely want to keep. It makes you sleep better and you avoid additional screen time right before sleeping.
