kiosk
Small public booth
A kiosk is a small, freestanding structure used for selling goods or providing services.
Newspaper kiosks dot city sidewalks; information kiosks sit in mall corridors.
The word now commonly refers to self-service terminals: I checked in at the airport kiosk.
The original sense—an open pavilion or summerhouse—survives mainly in architectural contexts.
