Blind Date with a Book at your library!
by eapearce
Looking for a good book to read?
In celebration of Valentine’s Day, why not go on a blind date with a book?! Over the next three weeks, you’ll see displays at all the AADL locations (usually near the NEW teen and adult books) featuring unknown books wrapped in butcher paper, with a short hint description written on each one.
You won’t know the ‘identity’ of your date until you get home: it could be fiction or non-fiction, funny, informative, a mystery… but all of these books were recommended by one or more AADL staff members who personally enjoyed them. We hope we’ll introduce you to a book you’ll love!
Happy Valentine’s Day, and enjoy your “date!”
(And, if a book is too much “commitment” for you, we have blind date movies too!)
We also have “surprise” books and movies for kids, located where you find NEW kids books!
Stop by your nearest AADL location and check out these fun displays!
