Tired of the usual romantic Valentine’s Day events? We’re shaking things up! All February long, come into the library to go on a blind date with a book. We hope this program will inspire you to pick up something you’ve never thought of reading before – because you won’t know what it is until you get home!
We’ve put some of our favorite, highly recommended books into some brown paper bags. These books are interesting, thought-provoking or fun, but you haven’t picked them up yet. There is a candy heart hanging off each bag with a teaser about the book. We can almost promise you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Please play by the rules and don’t open your book until you get home. And then give it at least 30 pages, even if it looks unappealing. The point of Blind Date With A Book is that we know that it’s hard not to judge books by their cover! Then fill out the Rate Your Date card in the back when you return your book. The first few readers to finish a book and rate it will get a prize!
