Library hotspot opens at Philadelphia airport

Philadelphia International Airport has partnered with the Free Library of Philadelphia to bring the library’s electronic resources to airport customers in a brand new Virtual Library Hot Spot.

The Virtual Library Hot Spot, situated on the busy walkway between Terminals D and E, will allow customers to log on to the airport’s free Wi-Fi to access the library’s e-books, nearly 1,200 author podcasts, and other digital content.

Much of the Free Library’s digital content, including classic titles and podcasts, is available to anyone, but a free library card is necessary to download nonclassic titles and some digital content.

Library cards are available free of charge to Pennsylvania residents, and out-of-state residents can obtain a library card for $50 per year.

Applications for library cards can be accessed online at www.freelibrary.org.
