The Dubai Municipality unveiled launch of the initiative of “Lets Read on Beach” by establishing libraries at all beaches of the emirate of Dubai.

Beach goers will have the opportunity to browse around beach libraries, pick up a book, lie in the sun, read and relax!

Engineer Aliaa Abdularahem Al Harmoudi, Director of Environment Department at Dubai Municipality, said the main idea of the initiative is to provide libraries on public beaches in the emirate.

Those beaches attract hundreds of thousands of visitors annually throughout the year.  They are ideal locations that will contribute to trends of the leadership in this regard, and at the same time enrich beaches in Dubai with educational and cultural forms.

The libraries are intended to attract visitors to the beaches during the day and at night, while also turning Dubai’s beaches into and educational hub for everyone to enjoy.

The design of those simple libraries is so sophisticated they will attract beachgoers during the day or night, as they are enhanced with light systems driven by solar power.

They will be distributed on the public beaches of Dubai at certain distances to allow access to them, Al Harmoudi said.
