Great idea! And they are wonderful inside, though do not as much privacy as one might expect considering the acoustics inside.

There are now two cell phone booths at the Davis Library. One is in place on the Upper level a bit to the north of the restrooms. Second will be placed on the Lower level, the exact location to be determined. Reach out and call someone!

Although it’s a campy and could be a cute idea, I can’t see spending money in this financial down time on a phone booth. I agree with Mary Ellen, that our space in this library could be much better utilized for student group/study/practice needs.

I am not in favor of using a group study – waste of good space we don’t have enough of and doubtful they’d use it much. No reason they can’t tell the person they’ll call them back and go to the outer lobby or outside to call back or send a text msg. Although the red phone booths would be humorous – any available on ebay?

We are much more in need of a room where students can practice oral presentations.

Hmmm.. how about little old fashioned red phonebooths in several parts of the library?
Most likely, though, people will just use their phones wherever a call comes through…
