Reading increases intelligence and promotes critical thinking. For frequent readers, there is now a book telephone box in Frauenkirchen.

The old telephone box was not disposed of, but simply given a new purpose. Those responsible in the municipality of Frauenkirchen simply converted the old phone box and put books in it. That's how quickly and easily the first book telephone box in Frauenkirchen was created. In cooperation with ARGE Bücherwurm, in which numerous local associations and organizations have participated, a unique place has been created that invites people to exchange, linger and discover books together.

"With the support of partners such as the Senecura Sozialzentrum Frauenkirchen, the Koryphäen Neusiedl am See, the Krippenverein Frauenkirchen, the "Gesunde Stadt", the Frauenkirchen kindergarten and the EntlastungsZentrum, this joint project has become a reality," says a delighted Mayor Hannes Schmid. The book telephone box is open around the clock. It serves as a contact point for young and old reading fans, who can browse through new stories here at any time.
