Blind date with a book at library

Are you tired of the same thing?

Feeling adventurous and ready to try something new?

During the month of February, the El Dorado County Library, 345 Fair Lane in Placerville, will be hosting blind dates — with books.

Adults and teens pick from among the library’s potential “blind dates” and take home some excitement with an unfamiliar face.

A match made in heaven? A disaster date from start to finish?

Report back on how your “date” went by filling out a review form.

Play the field by going on multiple dates; each review form filled out is an entry into a prize drawing.

The Blind Date with a Book program seeks to offer patrons the chance to branch out from their normal reading habits and enjoy books they would not typically check-out.

For more information on this free event visit the Library Programs and Events calendar on the library’s Website eldoradolibrary.org or contact the library at 530-621-5540.
