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.

Requests for blind dates can be made using the Supply Request Form at ofpl.online.  Maybe you will fall in love!  Place a request for a blind date with a book starting February 1st and then rate it by filling out the “Rate the Date” card included with each book. 

Return the card to the book drop 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 @galluplibrary for a second entry into the drawing. 

Email bmartin@gallupnm.gov or call 505-863-1291 for more information.
