Blind Date With A Book
For most people, blind dates can be hit or miss. Whether you find your literary soulmate or your bookish date turns out to be a one-night stand, Blind Date with a Book is always a good idea!
Stop at the Stanley Public Library to find your date for Valentine’s Day by checking out a book on display. If you are the president of the “Judge a Book by its Cover” club, don’t be scared. You’ll be able to see the first line of the book printed on the wrapped book, but you won’t know the name of your bind date until you get it home. Who doesn’t love a bookish surprise?
You will enjoy getting to know your date, because this event is not strictly for romance readers; you may even expand on last year’s reads. It may be a rib-tickler, a heartbreaker or a mystery. There are plenty of selections at the Stanley Public Library.
Inside each book is a “Rate Your Date” sheet. Fill out the sheet and return it to the library to be entered in a drawing for a prize, whether you loved the book or not. The sheet must be returned by February 27 and the drawing will be held February 28.
A blind date with a book can be a forever commitment or just a fling, but it is sure to be a fun adventure. The event is open to patrons ages 16 and over, and is sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
