February is here, and the pre-spring romance is coming up fast! Of course, not everyone wants chocolates, wine, or candle lit dinners, but would rather have a nice, romantic evening curled up with a good book.

While the Library has plenty of books for you to read, it’s hard to find that “one true love” in book form when you don’t know where to begin. Should you scour the biographies? Explore the far reaches of science fiction? Solve the riddle of our mysteries? Become amazed by our graphic novel collection?

As always, we’re here to help!

The Pennsauken Free Public Library is holding a month-long event: the Blind Date with a Book! Our staff has carefully selected a number of our own favorites for you, spanning light-hearted fiction, high-flying heroics, tear-jerking romance, and the most deadly of mysteries. Then we wrapped them and gave you just a little taste of what’s in store for your date.

And the best part about these dates? You don’t have to pay for an expensive night out, navigate through large crowds, or even deal with being judged. While you won’t know who your date will be, you can decide to end your date early and pick up another one. Trying doing THAT on Valentine’s Day!

We have plenty of tales seeking a romantic connection, and one of them is for you. Will you be brave enough to try a blind date?
