@lgmhamm Oh, it’s doing very well, thank you! 🥰 It’s in hibernation now for the winter, but come April or maybe early May, we’ll roll it down to the beach for its fourth season.

We were totally blown away by how popular it is. The community around the beach is small, but the families and their guests sure love reading! The book circulation is great—by the end of the season, most of the original books have been replaced with new ones.

One day last August, I was lying in the sun, reading on a dock a little way from the small library. When I looked up, I saw a kid run over and eagerly start flipping through the books. After a while, an older woman, who I assumed was her grandmother, joined her. When the kid finally found a book, they sat down in the sand, and the grandmother began reading out loud. My heart melted. 🫠
