Offener Bücherschrank Herborn, Hessen, Germany - Free Community Book Exchanges on Waymarking.com

The idea to install such a place in Herborn was born in 2014. It took a while to convince the members of the town government that Herborn should have one and also to find the right location.

The first idea was to use an old discarded phone booth but then some people came up with the present installment which is made of metal cabinets and has three doors, a roof and even a light.

It was designed and built by trainees of the local company Rittal, which produces metal control cabinets.

Here are two local newspaper stories about the free book exchange:
