There is also a page on Facebook celebrating libraries and book swaps in phone boxes. We allow red kiosks to be adopted, subject to certain criteria such as low use and those not required for our own future plans. The Adopt a Kiosk scheme has been successful in transforming unused payphone kiosks and preserves the heritage of the red kiosk, particularly in rural locations. (Anyone who has one of our telephone boxes on their land) Parish/Community/Town Council or equivalent.The Adopt a Kiosk scheme enables your community to retain its iconic red kiosk.
Please keep the floor space clear for visitors to access the library and browse safely. We kindly ask in return that you leave the phone box as you’d expect to find it if it’s messy, give it a little tidy, and only leave donations if there is room on a shelf (we will try to make sure there is some space each week).
#LIBRARY IN A PHONEBOX FREE#
Please feel free to take and enjoy any books you’d like to read. With many of them there are lovely messages inside Many started as a way to save these iconic red telephone boxes from being removed and destroyed, but they have turned into something very special to their local communities. We’re very excited about this project and we hope you are too, and please remember that any books you might have really would make a big difference.AD | I have been or could be if you click on a link in this postĬompensated via a cash payment, gift or something else of value for writing We’ve put a special ‘Donations Box’ in the library itself where you can pop your books during our opening times. If you have any books you’d like to donate we’d be absolutely delighted to take them off your hands. We’re not expecting every donation to be a brand new bestseller, this is all about community upcycling and taking the opportunity to pass along a book you’ve loved onto someone else to enjoy. So it can be anything from fiction, non-fiction for all audiences. We’re looking for adult and children’s fiction which will appeal to a wide range of readers. So if you have any books lying around at home that you’d love to donate Because all the books in the Phonebox Library will be supplied via donations. This is where we need the help of our members, friends and everyone in the village. This way we’re hoping to keep the selection rotating and ensure that every time you open up our new mini library there’ll be something new for you to take away and read.Īnd now, the phonebox library is officially open for business! So why not pop down, grab a book and enjoy. Instead each book will be available to borrow and can either be returned after you’ve read it, or if you love it so much you’d like to keep it we simply ask that you exchange it for a different book from your collection. This will be a slight departure for Shenstone Community Library because it will be solely stocked by donations from all of our wonderful members and supporters and the books won’t form part of the Staffordshire Libraries collection like the books you find inside the library itself. The idea originated from one of our fabulous library members, Katherine Ford, who had seen similarly abandoned phoneboxes converted into book libraries and swapping stations around the UK and thought it would be a fantastic idea to do the same in our village. Thanks to the hard work of our volunteers and the local council, we’re turning the derelict phonebox on the Birmingham Road near to Tesco Express into a little Free Phonebox Library, or as it will be known: Shenstone Library: Birmingham Road Sub-Branch! We’re very excited to announce that our new scheme to bring more books to the village and encourage everyone young and old to get reading is now open Shenstone Library Phonebox Now Open! Come and see the new Birmingham Road Sub-Branch
