I came across this phone booth which has been given a new role as a Public Library. Many phone kiosks have been similarly reassigned in the UK, but this is the first I have come across in France.
A collector of  'Monochrome Phones with Sepia Tones'   ...and a Duck!

'The reading box' (I think?) - very nice.

Here's the German version:

Booths could be had cheaply years ago, but no longer now.

I read recently that someone wanted to turn abandoned phone booths in to WiFi hot spots, but it failed in flames. But I do like the idea of using them as used book places and things like that, great idea to reuse them as something else.

Yeah, anything to keep them around longer!
