How dope is this? A pop up library….on the beach?! Yes please!

In an effort to encourage literacy, French architect Matali Crasset created a library right on the sand at La Romaniquette in Istres, France. The portable library is home to 350 books and three shaded seating areas to check out a book.

C’est magnifique!

What’s your favorite book to read on the shore or by the pool?
