Online dating for readersThis year we're adding ebooks and audiobooks to our Blind Date with a Book program! We're using Hoopla to connect you with librarian-curated titles that you may have passed by. As with our traditional book display, we've described the story but concealed the cover and removed the title and author information. For our virtual version, click the blind date number (Blind Date #1 or Blind Date #2, etc.) or the links following the description, which will take you to the Hoopla check-out screen. Take a chance! If you don't like it, move on. But you may find a new true love! |
