'Blind dates' encourage islanders not to judge a book...

Sunday 23 February 2020


Blind dates are a scary situation. We meet new people everyday and don't think about it for a second, then, suddenly, we're set up on a mysterious date by a co-worker who takes pity or a computer generated 'match' and suddenly all hell breaks loose.

The anticipation, nerves, fear, excitement...

But it's ok. You got this, right?

Put on your best outfit, spray yourself with the smelliest scent, adopt a sense of false confidence, FREAK OUT, drive your car like it's a Ferrari, arrive at the door, wipe the sweat off your hands and pick up your new...book

What?! Book?!

That's right - Jersey Library has adopted some out-of-the-box thinking to keep budding readers entertained in the last of our winter months with a new stand of books carefully selected and wrapped to be checked out by anyone willing to give something new a try.

To land your very own 'blind date', simply pick a parcel up at random (or obsess over which one to take), check it out as usual and give it a try.

Good luck!
