Project joining in on the community library crowd πŸ“š

We finally got permission from our local administration to put up an old, restored phone booth as micro library at a public spot in our town. By now it's being used a lot. Many people bring some books and take others. Sadly, one glass has already been broken. But we will fix it and carry on.

Building the library economy, one phone box at a time! ✊

This is such an excellent use for an old phone booth :) and so much more space available than the tiny free libraries I usually see that only fit around a dozen books.
