The 20th century is calling

No, it’s not a Selby Library diorama meant to depict “the olden days.”

Rather, the library’s two pay phones are still-useful icons of another era.

Assistant Manager Alicia Diaz said that they get daily use by a large segment of library guests. Free calls are available to numbers that will help with finding a job, getting a credit card, checking the weather and contacting banks.

Other calls will cost a caller 50 cents.

So next time you’re in a pickle when your phone loses its juice, you know where to head.
