Blind Date With A Book, Maggie Mason Smith

Presentations

So, spend your Valentine's Day with an unconventional or anti-love story from our February New Books Shelf Display. Each book, audiobook, or DVD on the display has been wrapped in brown paper so you won't know what you are checking out beforehand. But, to help you chose your date, we have added three descriptive words to each item. Come by the library, choose a book, and take a chance - you might find your new favorite "love" story.
