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 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.
