Blind Date With a Book: These books are single and ready to mingle.  Come check out our Blind Date With a Book display. Each book has its own "personal ad" on the cover to help you make your choice - but the covers are in disguise so there's no judging a book by its cover. Take a chance with the unknown...  who knows, you might find true love!

Read-Alike Bookmarks: Too shy to go on a blind date with a book? Try a title from one of our new read-alike bookmarks - compiled by literary matchmakers (aka "librarians"). We will have read-alikes for many bestselling authors and will give you the inside scoop on how to find more.

Bookmark Contest: Design a bookmark around the themes of books, reading, or your favorite book characters, and then turn the bookmark and entry form in to one of the service desks. Winners will have their bookmark printed for everyone to take! Submit bookmarks before March 1.
