Awesome Public Library Box

[mobius]

I think if it's ok I'll just add my recent sightings to my thread on here, makes my life simpler anyway. this is a book drop, book return box at my local library, not sure about the overuse of the word "awesome" -feels like trying too hard to appeal to kids, but it's a darn cool thing anyway, with the classic required quote on it!

minor update, the Salem electric box Tardis is still painted that way! I was nearby lighting my Rocky Horror cast last friday, and will be again this week. October is our busiest month. maybe I can get a night shot of it.

A bunch of exciting new Tardis sightings near me!
First, the "Awesome" box, moved from the main branch of the library to another branch, a pic to follow, or 2,  A suspiciously blue door, with a Jelly jar fresnel light outside, Whovian? Could be... also a console and Tardis from Boston Comic Con earlier this year, I told the 6th Doctor there I couldn't be "Gentile" with the console as I'm Jewish. He didn't get my joke. d: I know that Tardis has been seen in this site before, and at other local conventions, lovely box it is too.
Whilst driving along route 9 I spotted a blue box on a side street, the next day I drove back to check it out, and indeed, it's a Tardis little free library, the doors are starting to rot a bit, sadly, but it's still full of books! Made me want to make one of those, it's on the very long to-do list now.
Lastly, I was in an automobile accident, someone slammed into the back of my minivan, destroying the window, the back door (liftgate) and my St John's emblem bumper sticker. No one was hurt, the other driver's insurance paid the $5,000. to fix it, and I asked them to paint the new door black instead of red, which they found odd, but agreed to, I think it looks cool, also my old bumper sticker was black ink on a clear sticker, and didn't really show up very well on my dark red van, I had been meaning to get a new one, white ink on a clear background, and thought I had bought one, but realised when I was about to put it on, it wasn't the kind of sticker I thought it was, also I can't get it to work anyway, so I poked around and found a site that makes custom stickers and got one close enough, wanted a clear sticker, but got a black one with a white logo on. Bigger than the old one, and very visible! Most people won't get the reference, but the right people will get it.

and now said photos.

Great TARDIS finds, mobius! That St. John Ambulance logo sticker looks good, too: negative image - haven't seen one like that yet. And you're right; the black liftback does look good with the red van. Sorry to hear about the rear-ending, though. Glad no one was hurt. I had that happen to me once... no injuries there either, but it still wasn't fun having to go through all that insurance grief, and then wait for your faithful transport to get repaired.

Some great pics there, Mobius!
I love an unexpected TARDIS sighting, (along with unexpected Dalek sightings!)
Always sends a shiver of excitement down my spine!

I really love those little free libraries- anything that gets people reading has got to be a good thing.

That TARDIS looks, apart from the phone panel, to be a pretty dead-on Hudolin/McGann TARDIS.

It certainly is a beauty! And the builder/owner can always swap the PTO if the mood takes them

I have to agree with you Dino, and I couldn't help but dwell on it! LoL.

Well the console is 3/4 original genuine TARDIS. You can certainly see the plinth, hexagonal belt and time rotor are the ones from the Mike Kelt console. I don't think it really brings anything else to that specific console as far as reference material but maybe a link should anyone wish to see it?

A friend photographed this in Uxbridge (Massachusetts, not in the UK) tonight.
One of ours?

I found the address of the house with the Tardis little free library in front, ( 78 Brington Rd Brookline, Massachusetts) but the google maps street view pic was taken 3 years ago and it wasn't up yet at that point so you can't see it there
