What Is an Information Kiosk?
An information kiosk is a stand, booth, or type of gazebo that has one open side, and includes free informative literature. Some kiosks of this nature may also include a guide or attendant who’s main purpose is to help guide visitors by offering information and advice. Maps, fliers, small books, and other items may be available to anyone who visits an information kiosk. Within North America, most kiosks are of the informative type, though some kiosks also act as small newsstands that sell cigarettes, newspapers, and other items. Throughout the rest of the world, a kiosk is usually a type of garden center or small shelter similar to a gazebo. In addition to traditional kiosks, computerized kiosks have become quite common.
