Blind Date with a Book
Come to the library and choose your blind date with a book. The only information about the book you will have is the first line of the story. Read your date book and test on it and you will be entered in a drawing for a prize package (Two movie passes, Amazon Gift Card, candy……..) Books will be handed out starting February 8th and the contest will end on March 8th. You will be entered into the drawing for each blind date book you read. Enter as many times as you can! I hope you love your book date, and as always, happy reading!!
