Will you find love on a Blind Date with a Book?Don't judge a book by its cover – take the plunge and go on a Blind Date with a Book!
We’re holding a Blind Date with a Book event Bill Bryson Library and ISC Library, where you can take a chance on love and borrow a book to read without seeing its cover or leafing through its pages first.
Titles have been carefully selected by our library staff and from student recommendations from last year’s Need to Read board (keep reading to find out more!) and will be waiting anxiously on our dating scene bookshelves. However, this is no beauty parade – the books will be dressed in their finest brown paper with mere hints written on the cover as to what you’ll find inside.
How it works
· Check out a book from our dating scene bookshelf but remember, don't unwrap it until then! (it’ll spoil the surprise!)
· Take them to your favourite spot to read for your date. If you feel the connection, introduce them to your family and friends!
· Once your date has ended, simply return your book to the library – they'll always be there if you want to see them again!
‘Need to Read’ board
Why not share your own recommendations of titles you’ve enjoyed on our ‘Need to Read’ boards?
Located at Bill Bryson Library, Palace Green Library, Leazes Road Study Space and ISC Library, simply pop the author and title onto the board to share your suggestion with others.
Following your recommendations from 2022, we’ve bought over 50 titles which are now available to borrow, and many have been added to our dating scene bookshelf for others to discover! Recommendations received this year will also be put forward to be bought and added to the Library, giving you the opportunity to help shape our collections for current and future students!
