Congratulations to Powell's Books at PDX, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary as a retailer at Portland International Airport. As part of the festivities, the bookseller is giving away a limited-edition commemorative tote bag with in-store purchases of $30 or more, while supplies last.
"We were invited to join PDX 30 years ago because the folks at the Port of Portland wanted our airport to be different, and better, than every other major U.S. airport," said Powell's president Emily Powell. "Their vision for the airport, and our vision for what a bookstore could be in an airport, have led us in many interesting directions. Powell's is proud that for 30 years we have been at PDX, ready and waiting to share the magic of reading with everyone who treads that now famous carpet. We extend our deep gratitude to our airport team for reaching this most wonderful milestone, to the many people who support the work at the airport, and to the many customers we serve--it takes a large team to keep it all running, and each piece is essential."
