Speed Date with a Book

​Calling all avid & aspiring readers, find your next summer read at our first Speed Date with a Book. 

Think Speed Dating*, but with library actual books. Each book will be covered so you won't know the title or author, but you will have a few minutes to read before moving on to your next "date". We will rotate books until the end of the evening and then begin the matching process.

Participants will have a chance to "meet" 5-10* books across all genres and decide at the end of the night, which book they want to check out from the library. 

​*This is not a Speed Dating event where readers are "dating" each other.
