Literally, a phone booth

This replica phone booth costs $1300, is made of solid wood, and most amazingly, is only 30" wide which barely squeezes through the library entry. I'd paint the entire thing some sort of light greenish-gray to complement a yellow-green wall. Then frost the glass and somehow, fill it with books. At night, with a light inside, it would make a nice, glowing light.

The 'trees' vs. 'phone booths' thing refers to the two strategies
we've come up with for the library. The library is a very unusual
space, 10 x almost 7 feet. The problem: getting adequate book storage
in that space and also creating a wall to block off the entrance so it
doesn't seem a vast cavern.

The tree strategy means sticking something smack in the middle of the
space. The tree would obscure a bookcase and provide a virtual 'wall.'
Possibilities include everything from literal trees to fake trees to room dividers to the Eames shelving system (which Mark tells me was designed expressly for this purpose).

The 'phone booth' term comes from a picture I saw of a house with a
phone booth in the entry. I think you walk through the phone booth to
get into the house. At any rate, the phone booth is a big box that
sits against the wall. It is big enough that it creates a wall to the
space. By entering from the MBR side, you can access books inside the
'booth.' The phone booth could be anything from a drywall box to a room divider to literally, a phone booth.
