New Life as a Library

New Life as a Library

A fun article. In England, a phone booth has found new life as perhaps the world’s smallest library. From the BBC: “Villagers from Westbury-sub-Mendip in Somerset can use the library around the clock, selecting books, DVDs and CDs. Users simply stock it with a book they have read, swapping it for one they have not.

“It’s really taken off. The books are constantly changing,” said parish councillor Bob Dolby. He added: “It is completely full at the moment with books. Anyone is free to come and take a book and leave one that you have already read. “This facility has turned a piece of street furniture into a community service in constant use.”
