Stoudt, Executive Director of Lehigh-Northampton Airport Authority.
Basically, passengers can take a book for their flight or leave a book if they are done with it before boarding or after arrival.
“We all seem to have less leisure time these days, but it’s still so important to get that reading in when you can — say on your next flight out of Lehigh Valley International Airport,” Josh Berk, Bethlehem Area Public Library.
Located in the Wilfred M. “Wiley” Post Departure Concourse, the exchange has been filled with donated books from all three local libraries.
“All three libraries are proud of our partnership with ABE, and hope that the books that we donate help to let your imagination take flight before takeoff!”, said Jennifer Long, Easton Area Public Library.
When a book leaves the shelf, boards a flight, finds a seat, and lands in a new destination; we encourage passengers to use the hashtag #FlyABEreads and share its journey!
