In February, students were invited to participate in "Blind Date with a Book." Books were wrapped in paper with identifying descriptions of their themes and subjects. Students selected their interest and filled out a "Rate Your Date" comment card following the book. Participating students were entered into a drawing for prizes to kick off Reading Month this March. Our first "Blind Date with a Book" winners were Alyssa Hoyles, Ruthie Rarick, and Violet Hoyles. Thank you to everyone who participated in this event. Stay tuned for the library's March Madness bracket coming soon!
