Images Download all images of the book boat (ZIP 245 KB) Book boat (2 images) Captions The 'book boat' is a floating library that makes sure that people on the inhabited islands in the Stockholm archipelago also get access to books.
The book boat does two archipelago tours per year – one week in the spring, one in the autumn. The boat has 3,000 books on board and sails between remote islands and stays for 30 minutes to an hour depending on the crowd. The books can be ordered in advance or selected while the boat is at the quay.
There are librarians on board who can provide book tips – everything from novels, crime stories and poetry to non-fiction, for children as well as adults.
The project has existed since 1953 and is run by Norrtälje municipality in collaboration with Värmdö, Haninge and Österåker municipalities with the support of the Stockholm Region.
