Blind Date with a Book

The Library is celebrating Valentine’s Day by playing matchmaker!  You shouldn’t always judge a book by its cover. Put your trust in fate and choose a book without knowing the title.  Maybe you will fall in love!

Check out a book from our display through the month of February and rate it by filling out the “Rate the Date” card with each book.  Return the card to the Library by March 15th and be entered in a drawing to win a prize. 

Post a picture with your blind date on our Facebook or Instagram pages for a second entry into the drawing.
