Read While You Wait!

Many of frequent flyers are familiar with the Share-A-Book lending library added as a customer amenity for travelers visiting the Susquehanna Club at MDT in 2010.  Well, beginning today, you can enjoy MORE books for FREE while awaiting a flight or an arriving passenger at the airport!

We're pleased to introduce the HIA eBook Library!  More and more passengers are traveling with e-readers, tablet computers, smartphones and the like, and many of you using these devices are enjoying your favorite books while you sit at your gate or while you're rocking away in one of our comfortable rocking chairs in the arriving passengers area.

Strategically located in high traffic areas throughout the terminal you'll find 15 signs posted - one for each of the free titles in our eBook library.  Don't be fooled - each of the signs are different!  If you're a departing or arriving passenger, make your away around the terminal to find the signs located at each of the gates.  We have 3 other signs located a non-gate areas - one in the Susquehanna Club, one in arriving passengers area, and one in baggage claim across from the customer information desk.

Each sign has a QR (quick response) code for the title listed on it, along with our website that you can visit to download ALL of the titles if you don't have a QR code scanner app on your smartphone or device.  If you don't have that kind of app on your phone or device, visit the app store or marketplace app on your device and search for "QR code scanner" to find and download one.

The fifteen titles offered in the eBook library are wide ranging from classics and kids books to aviation titles to appeal to all types of flyers - from little readers on up!  Which titles are offered for FREE download you ask?  Here are just a few examples:
  • Mother Goose
  • Pride and Prejudice
  • Oliver Twist
  • Early History of the Airplane (authored by the fathers of US Aviation, Orville and Wilbur Wright.)
  • And more!
Avid readers - that aren't flying from MDT in the near future - don't despair!  We've got you covered, as all 15 titles are easily accessible and conveniently downloadable from our website, www.flyHIA.com/eBooks, everyday! 

The best part about all of this?  It's free and if you don't want to download the eBooks to your device to can still read them online, as HTML formatted versions (which means you can read them right from the website!) of the books are available to you as well!

You don't need a library card to enjoy some of your favorite titles!  Happy reading and flying!
