Want a Little Mystery or Romance? Go on a Blind Date with a Book!
If you’re up for a literary rendezvous, select a Blind Date Book from the display at the Library and check it out. They’re all wrapped up, so you won’t know the identity of your date when you pick it out. Spend some time getting acquainted, and then “rate your date” on our special online form before returning your book to the Library. No long term commitment necessary, but you may just find your perfect match! Book Blind Dates will be available through the end of the month.
