Waiting at airports just got better. Pune Airport has launched a free public library within its terminal — giving travelers a chance to relax, read, and unplug before their flight.
With flight delays, long layovers, and digital fatigue becoming common, this initiative is being praised for reviving the joy of offline reading in transit zones.
What the Library Offers
No registration, no charges — just pick a book and read.
Collection includes fiction, non-fiction, regional literature, and children’s books.
Books available in English, Hindi, and Marathi.
Located near the departure lounge, open 24x7.
Flyers can also donate books to keep the shelf dynamic.
“It’s a small step to promote calm, culture, and connection in the fast-paced airport environment,” said an AAI official.

In an era of screens, this initiative makes a statement:
Promotes mindful travel over screen addiction
Encourages regional language literature exposure
Makes airports more community-centric
Inspires book sharing culture among travelers
