Over time, improvised book shelving began to appear on the coast of other Italian cities, as well as in the Netherlands and Ukraine. More and more people prefer to rest on the sea with a fascinating book in their hands. And to take literature on the beach does not require any documents and money, it is enough just to go to the shelf and choose what interests you.

Foreign tourists can find books for themselves in their native language.
