To go on a blind date with a book, browse the display of wrapped up books, read the hints, choose your favorite, check out, unwrap and enjoy! If you’re not sure which to pick, contact us and a librarian will set you up.

Previous blind date goers thoroughly enjoyed the surprise of unwrapping the book, trying to guess the titles from our clever hints, and the opportunity to read something that they would not normally pick up.

Here are a few highlights from last year’s blind daters:

“I was intrigued pretty quickly – the first chapter had me hooked. Westover’s unique perspective and upbringing, combined with her captivating storytelling.” – Educated by Tara Westover

“Good sense of humor and wit. Very Engaging.” – Because of Miss Bridgerton by Julia Quinn

“Fast paced, fun to read!” – Where’d You Go, Bernadette? By Maria Semple

“Combines two of my favs: spy novels and amazing women!” – Red Sparrow by Jason Matthews

“My date’s best feature was encouraging forgiveness and that people can change!” – In This Moment by Karen Kingsbury

All participants get a chance to win a coffee date at Colfax’s newest business, SHOTZ Coffee, in the form of a $25 gift certificate. SHOTZ is set to open in early February.

With a rating scale of “major dud” to “red hot,” be sure return the Rate Your Date slip included with your blind date book to the Colfax Library by March 10, which serves as your entry into the prize drawing. Feel free to return at the desk or in our book drops.

If you’re ready to fall in love this February, stop by the Colfax Library!
