Don't judge a book by it's cover, first rule of blind dating. Find your perfect match within the pages of a book but the catch is you only know small hints of what its about from the cover. This month the library will be hosting Blind Date with a Book! This is something I thoroughly enjoy each time I come across one, whether it's at a bookstore or a library, it broadens my horizons to different genres and new experiences! School is stressful, trust me I know (#gradschool), and reading offers me that ease of relaxation. Half the time I open a book on my kindle and I don't even remember the description so it's kind a like a blind date. One thing that has always intrigued me about blind date with a book is how people go about choosing their books, do they try for something completely new or go for something that sounds familiar to the genre they like? All the books put on display will be fiction, ranging from YA to Adult, a few are even new to the collection!
Simply browse the selection when it becomes available (the end of this week!), and bring it up to the desk for checkout! The barcode is on the back for our student assistants to check out, this way the mystery remains and you won't know what the book is until you open it! Once you're done with you book, bring it back and we'll give you a short five question "yes or no" survey to fill out about your experience! Along with a comments paper on how we can improve the experience for next time! Along with any suggestions of what you would like to see the library do next!
