A library at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport has been gaining popularity since "taking off" in May 2023. Now, the Airport Library is expanding thanks to help from several Tri-State library systems.
CVG approached the Kenton County Public Library with the idea earlier this year. It started small — just a modest collection of books and a QR code linking to e-materials from Kenton, Boone, Campbell and Cincinnati/Hamilton county libraries.
"If you think of Little Free Libraries, which have become very popular across the country, you can kind of think of the Airport Library as a Little Free Library that has kind of blown up," says Dave Schroeder, executive director of the Kenton County Public Library. "We have expanded the concept into a library at the airport that allows people to pick up books and to download e-materials and to drop off materials."
