Phone Box Libraries | The Hickensian

Phone Box Libraries | The Hickensian

On a ride this weekend I finally got to see one of the fabled Phone Box Libraries. Classic, but now obsolete, red phone boxes are being converted into small independent libraries for communities lacking in a such a facility. In this case of this one in Gawcott, Buckinghamshire, it’s a book swap.

Lovely reuse. As an aside, just about every other block where I live in Saint Paul, MN has a Little Free Library. My family avails ourselves of this convenience all the time. It’s a great way to discover new books and to share ones you no longer need with others.
