On the shelves of the red booth, patients of the IKEM hospital will find a plethora of genres, including works by US crime writer John Grisham, Czech and Russian titles and biographer Andrew Morton's "Diana: Her True Story". Library mastermind Monika Serbusova, 27, said she and a friend drew inspiration from a similar project in Britain. They won backing from a local phone operator, then built the libraries with the help of colleagues and friends, painting the booths and installing wooden shelves.
