The beach library is a contact creating activity, and as the visitors express and their visits show, it is experienced as an appreciated meeting point.

The result also shows that adults gather around the library and use it for conversations in a social aspect but also look at the contents of magazines, movies, books and borrow them. The study has a weakness since it does not answer the question whether the visitors think that the library's content and activities raise needs and require a continuation, or if they are just happy that something happens on the beach.
