The Phone Booth Library in Stavanger is a unique and innovative concept that combines literature with a modern expression. The library is housed in a telephone booth, and offers a diverse selection of books that can be borrowed by visitors. This project aims to promote reading and accessibility to literature in the urban space, and gives people the opportunity to discover new titles in an informal setting.
The concept of a telephone booth as a library creates an unexpected and cozy atmosphere, where both local residents and tourists can find peace to read or take books home. The Phone Booth Library is part of a larger trend of micro-libraries, which have received increased attention for their ability to engage local communities and encourage the sharing of knowledge and culture.
