That floating beach may never become a reality, but hey! here's a floating library instead. Books are not nearly as wild as a beach on a barge, this is actually real, and it sounds pretty fun. "The [Lilac Museum Steamship's] main deck will be transformed into an outdoor reading lounge to offer library visitors a range of reading materials," and when the fun ends on October 3rd, the books will be donated. It will be docked at Pier 25 in Hudson River Park starting September 6. [Gothamist]
