Blind Date With a Book Given a Thumbs Up at Central City Public Library!

centralcity

Judy and Ella Buhlke gave their BLIND DATE WITH A BOOK a thumbs up!👍
Stop by the library throughout the month of February and pick up YOUR blind date. Each wrapped book will have a “Rate Your Date” slip. With each slip you return, you can ENTER A DRAWING TO WIN a $50 gift certificate for a dinner for two to Prairie Creek Vineyards& Winery!!
We’ve selected a variety of books, wrapped them up in plain brown paper (no peeking) and you won’t know the “identity” of your blind date until you get it home.
Drawing slips must be returned by March 5, 2018!
