Do hearts and flowers nauseate you? Relationship on the skids? Allergic to chocolate? No problem. Instead of feeling bitter about another Valentine’s Day why not go on a blind date with a book?

This year on Valentine’s Day when you stop by your local branch library you’ll find a display of books wrapped in paper. Pick the one that looks good to you, check it out, and take it home. Beneath the wrapper you’ll discover a book handpicked by our staff. The blind date books won’t disappoint you, let you down, or break your heart (unless you happen to have picked a tear jerker). So this February 14, skip the watching the romantic comedy and ordering take out. Head to your branch library and let Deschutes Public Library set you up on a blind date with a book.
