Councillors are hoping to ring the changes at Harlaston phone box by converting it into a book exchange.

The Grade II Listed K6 box on Main Road in the village is the latest to be earmarked for a new use as the rise of mobile phones reduces the need for public facilities.

Now Harlaston Parish Council has submitted a formal planning applicaton to create a new mini-library.

A number of old phone boxes have been converted into book exchanges, including [one in Wall](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-stoke-staffordshire-34781052?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk).

Residents can comment on the proposals via [Lichfield District Council’s planning website](https://planning.lichfielddc.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=O53KSOJEMM600&ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk).
