Abstract

The archipelago of Stockholm has 30,000 islands and skerries, but there are only permanent residents on some of them. The county library of Stockholm started the book boat service in 1953. Ever since that time, the population of the archipelago gets books and other media twice a year from the floating library. Even program activities have been carried out. The book boat is of great positive value for children and adults because they can in this way take part in the modern public library. The book boat has an important function as extraordinarily good public relations for the library's services and has the effect of promoting reading not only in the archipelago but elsewhere.
