This Valentine’s Day, let the Stanley Public Library set you up with a blind date–with a book! You may find your forever commitment, or it may be just a fling, but a blind date with a book can be a great companion on a cold winter night.

Stop at the Stanley Public Library to find your date by checking out a book on display. If you’re looking for a fun excuse to read something new, this is the event for you. 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 blind date until you get it home. Who doesn’t love a bookish surprise?

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 great way to find love at the 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 26 and the drawing will be February 27.

The event is open to patrons ages 16 and older, and is sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
