Society: Floating library in island province Hainan

A library called Sea Study is the first public library on Ximaozhou Island in Hainan province. More than 30 fishermen spent four weeks renovating three abandoned fishing boats into a reading cabin, a salon, and a 16-bed hostel. The floating public library has become a popular attraction among the local residents.
