It's appropriate that a book celebrating the 75th anniversary of Nashville
International Airport includes a page -- and a charming photo --
documenting the library branch that opened on-site in 1962.

.

Staffed by a librarian who received an extra $4 in her paycheck to cover
airport parking, the Nashville Public Library reading room was the first
time a public library was ever established in a municipal airport.

.

In addition to books, the library offered reproductions of well-known
artwork for check-out. "I guess (it was) for that big dinner for the
boss," said Elizabeth Odle, photo archivist for the special collections
division.

.

There's no word on the longevity of the "Booketerias" the Nashville
library opened in the aisles of local supermarkets in the mid-1950s, but
they were likely gone by 1969, when the airport library branch was
shuttered.

.

Today, just a few airport terminals have anything resembling a traditional
library. But airports are finding other ways to offer travelers plenty of
reading material for free

.

As celebrated in a recent issue of Library Journal, many U.S. airports are
partnering with local libraries to expand reading opportunities for
passengers who often have plenty of time on their hands while waiting for
a flight. Many of these partnerships take advantage of complimentary
airport Wi-Fi and the fact that so many people now travel with an
e-reader, tablet, smartphone or other mobile device.
