Why not continue the concept? I bring books along on vacation and when I finish it I leave it with the crew or desk to pass on to other vacationers.

[...] can come and swap what they’ve read for what they want to read. And it’s soooo cute. Look.3. Eat it, Gutenberg. You thought the printing press was revolutionary? Well, check this out. [...]

That is a really cool idea. I could really only see it working in small towns or more artsy communities, but hats off for finding a use for such an old phone booth.

Maybe if we had more of these around the busstops, kids would read more!

A beautiful thing and all the while it holds this air of sadness at this sort of last gasp of life and energy given to two dying aspects of our culture. The novelty of this “world’s smallest library” is what gave it its success more than anything IMO. That said, it did bring a smile to my face.

This is fantastic! I doubt though it could be implimented here. Those books would be stolen or mutilated…

I live on a tiny island at the end of the Aleutian Chain… this is just the right size library for our community! What a wonderful idea!

If it is gay then don’t go. If the photo strikes that much emotion out of you change what page you are on. Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean you should render it stupid.

To me it looks like plenty of people like this idea. It is pretty nifty if I do say so myself.

I think these should be put in all neighborhoods to encourage people to read more. Reading is a very important thing and a lot of people especially youths are loosing interest in reading.

Kudos to the person who came up with this idea
