Pune Airport Launches Free Library To Help Flyers Unwind With A Book

Pune International Airport has introduced a free library at its newly opened terminal building. The Airports Authority of India (AAI) launched the facility to offer travellers a more relaxing and meaningful way to pass time while waiting for their flights. Whether dealing with delays or simply arriving early, passengers now have an alternative to screen time-an opportunity to unwind with a book.

Set up in the terminal's waiting area, the cosy corner currently holds over 100 titles, The Hindustan Times reported. Travellers can choose from a wide range of genres, including fiction, non-fiction, travel, biographies, and regional literature. The library is open to all passengers with no need for membership or registration. Flyers can simply pick up a book, read, and return it before boarding.

In the image, passengers can be seen seated on comfortable couches, engrossed in books of their choice. Regular flyers have welcomed the initiative, calling it a refreshing screen-free option to spend time before take-off.
