Sunday is Souvenir Sunday here at StuckatTheAirport.com, a day to take a look at some of the fun, inexpensive and local things you can buy while you’re waiting for your flight.
At Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on Saturday we spotted a few of these kiosks, sponsored by the King County Library System, and they were all stocked with – free! – books and magazines. What a great idea!
On a tour of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport – my home-base airport – on Friday, I spotted a few new amenities, including this handy water bottle refilling station, that can fill up to three bottles at a time:
And this sign, at the airport’s Quiet Gate, reminding travelers that they can download free books.
JetBlue and PBS KIDS are back with the Soar with Reading program.
The program makes literacy-based games and activities available to everyone (here’s a link to download a fun, free booklet) and donates thousands of books to kids who need them.
For each title of a favorite kid’s book you share, JetBlue will donate an age-appropriate book to a child in need (up toe $200,000 worth of books). Your suggestion also earns you an entry into a contest for two round-trip plane tickets and $2,000 worth of hotel vouchers, an iPad and a collection of books, or a PBS Kids prize pack.
Here’s page from the activity book, which should also be available on JetBlue flights
