  Fucking horrible idea books do not like humidity. Especially not being handled by actively wet salty people.

    Yeah if your beach gets 1 beach enjoyer a year. And its not like you leave super exotic rare medieval books there.

    And the best books are worn books

    Yeah but think of the beach bonfire you can have. You don’t need to even bring fire wood

    Not only that, they will be full of sand within a week, if they are not stolen

      It is a take one and leave one setup so they can’t be stolen and the same books aren’t expected to be out there for long periods of time.

      Perhaps the most well-known is the extensive beach library at Albena, a restort on Bulgaria’s Black Sea. Designed by German architect Herman Kompernas, it’s built to withstand the sun, water, and wind, and equipped with a vinyl cover to protect the books in rain. It reopened this May with more than 6,000 volumes in 15 languages, all totally free to take — and visitors are encouraged to leave their own tomes for others.

        We do this with “little libraries” all around the northern US at least.

    I feel dumb that I needed this explained to me. Thanks.

      lol I mean, I’m sure it’s probably still cool, and books are meant to be swapped out not taken to read on the beach and returned, but I feel the hotel or parking lot would’ve been a better area lol.
