At least once a year, I book myself a flight itinerary that contains at least a four hour layover at the Milwaukee airport.

Am I there for a beer or some cheese?

I’m there for a great rare and used bookstore, located right inside the terminal with thousands of books for sale. And, there’s no schlepping.

For a modest charge, they’ll ship.

At Seattle’s airport, there are two little free libraries. People donate books for travelers to read. And then, you can pay it forward by donating back.

The airport in San Jose, California lets you download hundreds of library books for free.
