Through a partnership between the San Antonio Public Library and SAT, passengers have access to the library’s catalog of digital downloads via the touch-screen kiosks located in each of the airport’s two terminals.

San Antonio, October 21, 2014 -The San Antonio International Airport (SAT) introduced two Digital Library kiosks for airport customers.  Through a partnership between the San Antonio Public Library and SAT, passengers have access to the library’s catalog of digital downloads via the touch-screen kiosks located in each of the airport’s two terminals. 

The kiosk software is provided through Overdrive, the leading full-service digital distributor of books and other content, which serves as the gateway to the library’s extensive digital library. Additionally, the kiosks provide rapid recharge stations for customer smart phones and personal electronic devices.

SAPL Library cardholders visiting the Digital Library kiosks will be able to quickly access the Library’s entire digital collection via the 55-inch interactive screens. For airport visitors from out-of-town or for those who do not yet have a San Antonio Public Library card, SAT’s kiosks offers the library’s first-ever temporary library card, available from OverDrive.

Funded by the Friends of the San Antonio Public Library, this partnership reflects the airport’s extraordinary focus on customer service and convenience for its passengers. A reflection of the commitment that won San Antonio International Airport first place in “The Best Improvements by Region in North America” category of the 2013 Airport Service Quality Awards given by Airports Council International.
