Aeroports de Montreal has partnered with the Association des libraires du Quebec and Bibliotheque et Archives du Quebec to provide users of Montreal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International (YUL) with a free digital library of 35 downloadable titles via lirevoustransporte.com.
“Passengers can browse this selection of more than 30 titles by Quebec authors in both English and French, and get a taste of the extensive collection of Quebec e-books that is now available,” says Christiane Beaulieu, ADM’s vice president of public affairs and communications. “The service enhances our users’ customer experience while at the same time promoting Quebec authors and their works.
The project allows airport users to download to their smartphone, tablet or e-reader, via URL, the first chapter of any of the books available in five categories: novel, youth, thriller, essay/bio and guide.
Complete instructions for downloading are posted in the airport’s rest areas, located mostly along the international jetty. After reading the first chapter, passengers can read the rest either by borrowing the complete e-book from the Bibliotheque et Archives portal or by purchasing it from the leslibraires.ca site in print or digital format.
