At the library near me, the Valentine's Day reading incentive is 'A Blind Date With A Book' There are books wrapped, with a few words printed on the package to allow for ease in choosing. The above photo shows my choice. When i opened my package, the book i got is 'All Up In My Business' a novel by Lutishia Lovely. So there you have it, my February reading. Borrowers are also allowed the gift of an event book mark.a book to enjoy

Yes, Gillena you are definitely a poet. I have long agreed with that. Just today I was thinking what can I do with so many books I would love to pass on to others. That's wonderful thinking on behalf of your library. Yes, I like that "page slowly turned.

My library has done "Blind Date with a Book," too! I always love it. Unfortunately, the library is currently closed for renovations; otherwise, they might have offered it this year as well.
