Quiet at the Library
To everyone who complained about book abuse in the 478 comments in the Don’t Like Reading, Read On post, here is a little ray of sunshine for you. As both books and classic red phone booths are becoming a thing of the past, a village in Somerset, England has merged the two rare commodities.
The bright red old phone booth was purchased for just 1 pound and remodeled as the smallest library in the world. Residents line up to swap their already read books for new ones left by other patrons. Over 100 books and a variety of movies and music CDs are available at this tiny library.
That is the kewlest thing I’ve ever seen!!
What an awesome idea!
thats totally gay
If you don’t have anything nice to say, do us all a solid favor and don’t type it either.
I wish I had one of these where I live.
Brian.Maybe if you read a little more yourself you`d be capable of making a slightly less cretinous remark
hahahah love it
Wish you had one of these where you live? You do! It’s called a charity shop, where people throw away all sorts of crap shit they don’t want.
THIS IS very neat! I like the idea of mixing two dieing loves into one :] and loooook at all the people lined up! It’s obviously a local hit!
thats really gay
That is absolutely fantastic! I love the idea that it is always changing, and people can leave books that move them to inspire others.
Are books becoming part of the past? I wouldn’t think so. Granted I live in an urbanish area, but I have several enormous chain bookstores near me, dozens of little shops, and a two floor library that must have millions of books. The five closest libraries to me are connected via a currier service, and I can order books from any library and have it shipped to my local.
My wife and I have traveled via RV trailer for vacations for several years. Most campgrounds we stop at have some sort of book exchange. Since it is not practical to carry dozens of books, we take a few that we want to read but do not care deeply about. When we finish reading a book, we leave it at one of these swap places and take something different to read. It works out well.
that’s pretty gay
They are all FUHOs(fucking homosexuals)
right, gay. look at all those same-sex books doing it with each other.
lol brian trolled you all.
You could put more books in there if the library were a blue police call box, instead, because those are much bigger on the inside.
Yeah, but the red ones are cooler, and it’s clear functionality was not a main concern.
Sadly this would never work in my country, I think in fifteen minutes everything would be stolen.. including the booth eventually.
that’s really gay imagine those books all smelling of piss after all that’s all those horrible red phone boxes smelt like. When i was a kid i did manage to stretch a condom all the way round one once and tie a knot………….. how i laughed at the little old lady that tried to get in to make a call 10 minutes later
lisa – your comment made me actually LOL.
and i <3 this idea, i hopeee we see more of these around, xxx
This is so quaint! Makes me want to move to Britain!
A shame that within a week it will be nothing but Grisham, King and the like books.
Only the f**king English could line up and wait for such stupidity. Seriously, when I see that many Brits in a line I’m overcome by a powerful urge to mow the pasty c**ts down with an Uzi.
thats not gay at all. it is escentric though!
A blue police box would totally be better Dave. Everyone WHO’s anyone knows they’re bigger on the inside!
;p
wow lot of comment trolling
it’s a nice idea, very charming
your comments on the homosexuality of this idea are very interesting in that they reveal the total lack of imagination that you posess. This is most likely due to the censored, regulated, de-criticalised education system that you have been exposed to – one that has a huge paradox at its very midst in that it is not an education system at all, more a vehicle for making you accept consumerist, identikit concepts and attack anything individual and interesting. well, it clearly has been a ‘success’…
Cool idea! even though some idiot keeps trolling this post. i wonder how many poor people in the world would give anything for a computer and internet access and some waste of life just abuses the privilege
Agreed usurper
that’s pretty gay
Love it!
Could see this idea working in an Ashram or a little village, perhaps a desert island sanctuary untouched by the the likes of Brian, Steve and their ilk.
NB
Guys it’s a democracy and I sincerely respect your right to vocalise your opinion.
No matter how cretinous,inbred,mistaken,and dammit just plain ignorant your opinion maybe.
NBB.
Actually Steve your ilk make me want to go postal,however I prefer the H&K MP5 fitted with a sionics noise supressor- hey no sense in disturbing the neighbors,they be reading..LOL
I love you Dave and Shana.
Can’t believe how mean,nasty & foul-mouthed some people are.
Get a life !
hahah that makes me laugh, good idea though it would be good to be able to go into a little place like that and buy a book or lend one.
That’s totally gay
nice idea, also phil and thezen i love both of your comments. very good points both of you.
trollers you have the right to your opinion, and to express it. but we have the right to pity your ignorance- so keep on trolling, we could all use another moron poster to laugh at.
Am I gay?
Fags
cats!!!!
That is lovely! I would like to get a phonebooth bookcase for my house. =D
Also–responding to the trollers is giving them the attention they want. Just ignore their idiocy, like a bully at school. They go away eventually when you do that.
@ Steve, “mow the pasty c**ts down with an Uzi”
Spoken like a true American. It’s no wonder why the majority of the world can’t stand us, as ignorant as 90% of us are. “Those damn Brits, wanting to use a library for reading.” I’m surprised you could string together enough letters to made a coherant thought, Steve!
uh, okay. if this post is “gay”, first of all: why are you looking at it? second of all: if you can come up with a good enough reason for the first one, answer me this; why would you take the time to comment on it just to say it’s gay and make everybody else endure your stupidity? next time, just click the stumble button again or click on the random post button, that way no one else has to deal with your comments.
That’s totally lesbian
The only reason I read the coments is for the random trolls!
Why should I care about what a bunch of morans that I will never meet (and hopefully never will) think about this post? Bring on the trolls!
Its not so much the people doing the trolling which I find so funny, because lets face it “this is gay” lacks imagination. Its more the responses from the trolls! What do you think you guys are doing!? do you realy think you are going to make the troller wet his pants or cry himself to sleep just because you can write some sturn words?
“OMG someone dosent agree with my thoughts that this post is gay, I feel so ashamed, I must end my life now!”
Everyone, keep up the good work! FREEDOM OF SPEACH!
P.S. This is gay, anyone reading this, Including my self is gay. Infact, everyone who has ever lived and their children and their childrens children are gay! Except the Pope, hes just a peado!
“You could put more books in there if the library were a blue police call box, instead, because those are much bigger on the inside. – Dave”
LOL that is one of the best posts on this and I have a feeling some people didnt get it. I pray you are referencing Dr. Who…
I live in Brighton.
I thought that red telephone boxes had antique value.
Some time ago I was quoted 300 pounds for one.
You did well to buy one for one pound.
But then there are the transportation and installation costs.
Telephone boxes weigh a ton and need a crane to set them up.
Well done anyway.
I think everyone did get it but just no one except you found it remotely funny. Certainly not funny enough to “Laugh out Loud”
I bet you didnt “LOL” did you?
I must declare, and to no detriment to you and to make you reply in an angry fashion of rage, this specific article is homosexually inclined.
