How You Can Help Helsinki Airport...via Pinterest

So Helsinki Airport is going to open a library or, rather, a "book swap." Typically we wouldn't hear about this until the book swap officially opens to the public, but the advance warning comes courtesy of Helsinki AIrport's surprise obsession with social sharing network Pinterest.

HERE is Helsinki Airport's book swap board, where they are "pinning" actual decisions for their book swap, as well soliciting comments and additional inspiration to polish out the program. From whom? From you, if you're on Pinterest and at all intrigued by the idea of helping shape a space where travelers can come for their literary fix. Want to review the floor plan? It's there. Their possible QR-coded book plates? It's there. Lots of other library porn? Oh yeah—it's there.

Of course what results won't be the first airport library ever. Amsterdam-Schiphol Airport famously has a library, and Nashville's Airport had one back in the day.

This should be interesting to watch, to see if any of the Pinterest-solicited design advice trickles into the finished product, when Helsinki unveils the airport book swap space later this season.
