Airport libraries

Singapore is a book-loving country and this can be seen through its National Library Board, its bookshops and its book-loving population. So, a few days ago I was surprised when I found out there was a library in the Istanbul domestic Airport (in 2022), but we do not have one in Changi Airport. I was even more astonished to see a wide range of titles in many genres in both English and Turkish. This library was part on the library board and thus it was even possible to borrow books there. This initiative had been received with open arms by the passengers and in the short two hours I was there I saw quite a few people come in to read. It is very astonishing that we have a theatre, a shopping mall, various art installations and all manner of eateries and entertainment areas, but we do not have a library in our airport. This initiative would not only allow visitors to have a more enriching and meaningful experience but would also allow them to have a chance to read. This would especially help avid readers and book lovers in Singapore, of which there are many. I feel that more can be done in creating such a corner in Singapore. I would love to see a library in Changi Airport, and I am sure other avid readers and book lovers would too.
