Check out this cool intervention into the urban landscape! What are some issues that this action might be trying to solve? unconsumption: utnereader: Phone booths re-purposed as micro-libraries in New York City. (via Designboom) I love urban interventions, especially when books are involved. (Check out this newspaper stand converted into a community lending library, if you haven’t already seen it.) Anyway, this NYC phone-booth-turned-book-swap is a great addition to the group of repurposed phone booths featured previously on Unconsumption (here), which includes other micro-libraries in various cities. Are there other repurposed phone booths that we — your friendly Unconsumption hosts — haven’t yet come across?
