Blind Book Dating Event

Have you run out of books to read? This seemingly endless Wisconsin winter has all of us in a slump. But fear not! The Plum Lake Library has a brand new activity to keep you reading this Spring.

The Blind Book Dating Event


Much like blind dating, the Blind Book Dating Event is simple. You read the profiles attached to each book's cover and decide if this is something that sounds interesting. If it is, check it out and unwrap the book to discover which novel/author you've found. If not, put the book back and try another one.

What happens if you like the profile, but get home and don't like the novel itself? Return it to the library and choose another of the blind dating books.

Fun, free of charge - no snow blowers necessary.

Dragon Update....The name is revealed!

The contest has taken place at the library and the winner has been announced! Now, we're pleased to share that our children's section dragon has a brand new name! It is:

Neptune

He was named Neptune for two very different reasons.
(1) Neptune is the eighth planet in our solar system.
(2) In Roman mythology, Neptune is ruler of the Sea.

Why do these attributes fit our dragon? Well, here's a few reasons why...

Neptune is large and blue
Like the planet and the sea.
Neptune is scientific, too,
I think we all can agree.
 
He loves experiments and reading
 He loves programs, crafts, and snacking.
 
So come meet Neptune in the Children's Corner,
He'll be reading with us all summer.
