The Guardian asks readers for favourite beach reads — Library form open

is asking readers to send in their favourite beach reads through a library form. It wants holiday reads people would recommend, along with the reason each book works by the beach or pool.

Readers are being asked to include as much detail as possible. The form allows files up to 5.7 MB, and contact details are useful so the publication can reach out for more information.

The request also asks for books people have loved reading on holiday, including page turners they return to every summer and keep recommending to friends. The publication says contact details will only be seen by.

If readers include other people’s names, they should ask them first. The request also tells readers to read the terms of service and privacy policy, and provides a link for anyone who has trouble using the form.

Summer reading recommendations

The call comes as summer is here and the publication is looking for responses around lazy days at the beach or pool with a good book nearby. The contribution it wants is specific: a favourite beach read, plus an explanation of why it belongs on that list.

For readers who want to take part, the practical step is simple. Use the form, add as much detail as possible, and keep the file under 5.7 MB.
