Introducing Telephone Library-Junction! This PLJ is gift crafted by the hands of Janet Ecobiza Baker. Presently it’s only serving as a cool example of how these super-tough phone shelters can be converted into little libraries. View this one in person in the PLJ display at 165 North Main Street in historic downtown Porterville, California. All in honor of Raymond and Patrick. We are grateful.

We are grateful. Please visit this library-junction at 2141 W Orange Ave.
