Love is Blind!
Find your new favorite book through the Alkek Library’s Blind Date with a Book activity. University Libraries staff and students have curated a fantastic variety of books for you to choose from – if you’re ready to take the plunge! Books are found on portable shelves on the main floor of Alkek.
Choose your mystery date based on the information on each sealed envelope and check out your book throughout Valentines Day week! Each book will have a dating profile that allows you to get to know them before you take them home. If you’re looking for a one-night-stand, or a longer commitment, there is a book out there for everybody.
If you aren’t sure a blind date is how you want to meet your perfect match, there are displays throughout the library celebrating Black History Month, where you can meet your match in a more traditional way.
Happy Valentines Day and Happy Reading!!
