THE people at Tralee Library have come up with a novel way to get people to broaden their reading interests this month.
Are you falling into a pattern of reading the same kinds of books and the same familiar authors over and over again? Cannot read anything but crime?
What if you’re missing out on a wonderful book you’ve never heard of?
For the month of February – during which we celebrate St Valentine’s Day – Tralee Library at Moyderwell is offering readers the opportunity to discover something new by going on a blind date with a book.
Tralee Library has wrapped up a few of their favourites and hope that readers will fall for them too. They have wrapped the books in brown paper, and have written on a few descriptive words.
Customers then have to select their books based entirely on that – no cover art to help them out, no rating and no titles.
Here’s how it works…
• Read the profile on the book label and take a chance
• Bring your choice to the desk to be issued to you
• You may just find out you’re well matched
Call into Tralee Library and see how it works for yourself.
