CNRA and Grand Island Public Library Launch “Flybrary” for Travelers

Grand Island, Neb. — The Central Nebraska Regional Airport and the Grand Island Public Library have partnered to introduce a new amenity for travelers: the Flybrary.

Designed to make reading more accessible while traveling, the Flybrary provides free books for passengers departing from or arriving at the Central Nebraska Regional Airport. Travelers of all ages are invited to pick up a book from the Flybrary cart located inside the airport terminal. The program follows a simple concept: take a book, leave a book.

The initiative is sponsored by the Grand Island Public Library Foundation and materials are supplied by the Foundation’s Friends of the Library group using donated books collected through its daily book sale program. In addition to physical books, the Flybrary cart includes information about library services and resources. Travelers can learn how to obtain a library card and access free digital platforms such as Libby, Hoopla and NewsBank, along with the library’s mobile app and QR code for convenient access to e-books, audiobooks, magazines and other online resources while on the go.

The Flybrary reflects a shared commitment to literacy, lifelong learning and enhancing the traveler experience at the Central Nebraska Regional Airport by connecting passengers with free reading materials and library resources.
