Don’t be let down this Valentine’s Day with unrealistic expectations for a romantic evening with hearts, flowers and chocolate. Scrap your hopes of being swept away by romance and stop by your local branch library for your yearly Blind Date With A Book. Instead of feeling bitter about another Valentine’s Day alone, you can curl up with a book, hand-picked for you by Deschutes Public Library staff.
This year on Saturday, February 13, and Sunday, February 14,when you stop by your local branch library you’ll find a display of books wrapped in paper. Pick the one that looks good to you, check it out, and take it home. Beneath the wrapper you’ll discover a book handpicked by our staff. The blind date books won’t disappoint you, let you down, or break your heart (unless you happen to have picked a tear jerker). So this Valentine’s Day, skip watching the romanticcomedy and ordering take out. Head to your branch library and let Deschutes Public Library set you up on a blind date with a book.
