핀란드의 북보트(book boat )

해안선의 길이가 46,000킬로미터에 이르고 73,000개의 섬이 있는 핀란드의 유일한 북보트(book boat)에 대한 소식.

-The book boat service run in Pargas has eleven stops every four weeks from May to September.

-The boat carries 20 to 25 boxes of materials which have been carefully selected by the staff with the needs of the customers in mind.

-The preparations take about a week and each and every one of the 600 books has been thoroughly weighed and considered necessary for the users as space is scarce.

 

-The book boat collection includes a great deal of non-fiction: gardening, handicraft, fishing and hunting are popular topics. Books on history and environmental protection are also being widely read. Fiction, large print and talking books are part of the collections, as a matter of course, and children’s books have their own audience in the youngest generation.
