LIND DATE WITH A BOOK CONTEST
For a chance to enter the Blind Date with a Book Contest, check out a book from the display at Valley Ranch Library, 401 Cimarron Trail, by Feb. 14. Blind dating with a book is a popular activity among libraries where a reader selects an adult fiction book masked with a wrapper containing clues as to its content.
The reader will not know which title they have selected until it is taken home for the “grand reveal.” Each book in the display contains a comment card which must be returned to the Valley Ranch Library by Feb. 28, to be entered into the drawing. The grand prize is a gift basket filled with books (valued at $300). The drawing takes place March 1. Participants do not need to be present to win. Limit three entries per person. Participants must possess a valid Irving Library card. For more information, call (972) 721-4669.
