I passed an old UK telephone box (one with full transparant sides - not the red ones) full of (presumably) 2nd hand books.
Someone had put shelves in the telephone box and it has a small plastic curtain to protect the books from the rain
It's still there since I first saw it over 18months ago, so I'm assuming the kids have not found a creative way of using the books for other purposes or may be they use it
- rapnie 5y agoWe have this in The Netherlands in a lot of cities, where people have made wooden boxes, phone boots, and other places outside, filled with 2nd-hand books. You can freely take them, but the unwritten rule is you put another book back in return. There are sites where you can become member, and see locations on a map: https://minibieb.nl/minibieb/buiten-boekenkast/ https://minibieb.nl/minibieb/buiten-boekenkast/
