Informal Book Exchange Housed In A Phone Booth [Video]

Phoneboox is an informal book exchange housed in a UK phone booth fallen into disuse. Prompted by the threat of libraries closing all across the United Kingdom, James Econs installed wooden shelves in a local booth with straightforward instructions for exchange. The idea hinges on community trust and has been successful so far.

I guess the point is you don’t have to ‘be’ anything to make things happen. I’m not a designer, I’m not a bookworm and I’m not a carpenter. I just had an idea, and without really caring whether it would be ‘a success’ – more just wanting to see what would happen – I got on with it.

The video below gives a better look inside the converted phone booth:
