Blind Date with a Book is returning for more fun! Pick a book without seeing its title. Is it love at first sight? Or, maybe you need to digest a few chapters before knowing you are compatible. How does the Blind Date work? Select a covered book from our special display, sign it out, but wait until you are home to unwrap it and meet your date. Get to know your book over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine!
Complete the 'Rate your Date' card (included with each book) by February 28 for a chance to win one of several gift certificates! The more you read, the greater your chance to win!
