Blind Date with a Book
Finding Your Perfect Next Read
The Second Edition
Facilitator
Do you have a treasured read you’d like to introduce to a stranger?
If yes, bring along this book wrapped in brown paper and ribbon to keep the title and author a mystery. You’ll then have the opportunity to exchange books with someone else in the group, giving you, your next book, and giving them, your perfect recommendation!
Whether you’re a seasoned reader or just starting your literary journey, this event has something for everyone!
In a cozy and intimate setting, you’ll have the chance to meet with fellow book-lovers, and discuss excerpts and ideas from the books that resonated with you. It’s a lovely opportunity to get together and form a community of readers at BIC.
We end with a grand unveiling of our books and readers are encouraged to stay on to explore the specially curated selection of books from the BIC library.
Please note: This is an interactive participatory event designed for a small group of 20 people only.
