Come have a blind date with a book at Ada Public Library

Posted by Reema Bazzy on Sunday, February 3, 2013

The Ada Public Library knows that sometimes patrons just need to be released from the tyranny of choice.  In other words, with so many great books to read, how do you choose?

Come in and have a 'Blind Date with a Book.' Pick out a book based on only a few hints written on the outside of it's paper-wrapped exterior.  Some will say 'thriller' or 'romance' or 'amazing historical novel', etc.   No peeking!  

You might just find an unforgettable read that you would have passed over otherwise.
