VISAV have sponsored the Sherwood (Phone Box) Book Share which is now up and running!

Toni Price - Sherwood resident, Nottingham community worker, mum, friend and avid reader - sadly died in May 2021. Before she died, she made arrangements with Lisa and Mike of Sherwood Business Centre to buy a red phone box as a dedication to her mum, Pat Price, and as a gift to the community she loved so much.

Lisa and Mike agreed to install it and with Toni, their vision was to turn the vintage phone box into a Book Share for the Sherwood community to use and enjoy. They have also overseen the installation of shelving to house the books, the box will also be connected up to electricity so it can be kept securely closed at night.

The phone box contains posters with instructions about how to use it - essentially just asking people not to leave too many books as it’s only a small space!

A fantastic team of Book Share Stewards have volunteered to maintain and care for the phone box.
