The World’s Smallest Library?
Monday, June 21st, 2010
With evermore cuts placing some libraries under threat of closure, and traditional red phone boxes becoming a thing of the past, I was delighted to come across the news of a community in Somerset with a fantastic idea of combining the two…
They clubbed together to buy the phone booth for just £1 and fill it with their used books, queuing round the block to exchange them for other people’s favourite reads. What a wonderful idea!

Going Too Far, by Catherine Alliott. Susie: I rarely read 'girly' books but came across Alliott a few years ago. I've read 3 of her books thus far, and was delighted to spot this one for 30p in a charity shop. I've not opened it as yet but am hoping for another witty, grown-up, middle-class romcom, with lots of 4x4s and country houses!
