Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and we’re inviting you to go on a blind date – with a book! Library Lovers’ Day is 14th of February and Gunnedah Shire Library have partnered with GoCo to help you find your true literary love - just think of us as your hardcover cupids.

If you are looking for a long-term reading relationship, local cafes around Gunnedah have Blind Date with a Book Boxes, just pick a book up and take it home. No wining and dining necessary, it’s the perfect date.

If you’re more of the read ‘em and leave ‘em type, Gunnedah Shire Library has a romantic Wishing Well, full of blind date books to borrow. And like a blind date, the books can hide a pleasant surprise; some of them contain a little red heart. Bring the heart back into the library to claim a prize.

You can’t judge a book by its cover, so all books are wrapped with paper. You won’t know what you’re getting until you’ve got it – just like a blind date! Remember, love is blind, and a good time with a good book is the best way to celebrate Library Lovers’ Day.

For more information, or to become a Library Lover, contact Gunnedah Shire Library on 02 6740 2190
