I think it’s time to show all the bits and pieces that Sea Library is made of. Books are its flesh and bones. Yet, there are lots of arteries, streaming in from near and far and pumping the salty library’s warm heart with gifts.

There won’t be any chronological order. So I’ll just start with this: a postcard from Marta and Margarita, mother and daughter, my best friend for life and my goddaughter. They visited French Riviera in April 2023 and brought some gifts for the Sea Library, including this colourful postcard from Nice Côte d’Azur.
