And Now For The Greatest Blind Date Ever
Krutika Mallikarjuna

1. The lovely tumblr user alethiosaur is a librarian who introduced her local library to “Blind Date With A Book”.

She says she was inspired by Old Worthington Library.

2. Browsing bibliophiles got a few hints about their next true love, and had to take the plunge based on that alone.

3. Apparently, she happily matched quite a few couples.

“We started with ~40 books. Two hours later, all but four had found homes with library patrons (sorry, Flush, Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, Persepolis, and The Things They Carried, they don’t know what they’re missing).

Now, to send forth a new fleet of exciting books into student arms. Whew!”

4. Basically, gold star, you win the internet, and where do we sign up?

      Sarah, the blind date is with a book. You don’t know the title or anything else, you have to take the book based only on the hints on the cover, hoping it will be a match with your interests.

      Too bad Flush didn’t make it. Even as someone in his 40s, I enjoyed Carl Hiaasen’s twisted mind, flowing onto the page in a way targeted toward younger readers.
