DAYTON - February is National Library Lovers Month, and the Dayton Memorial Library is celebrating that, as well as Valentine's Day, with "Blind Date with a Book."
New books for men, women, young adults and children are wrapped in plain brown paper, with brief descriptions, or clues, as to what is inside, and are available for check-out. Many of the Blind Date with a Book picks are suggestions by well-known Seattle librarian and author, Nancy Pearl.
Family story time is on Feb. 7, and begins at 6 p.m. with a story, followed by dinner at 6:30 p.m., catered by Melissa Weatherford, of Grassroots Gourmet at the Blue Mountain Station. Attendees may also bring their own food. This is a free event.
A grant from Umpqua Bank makes it possible to provide a book, a book bag and a fun reading item to each who joins family story time each month.
Beginning Sign Language continues on Tuesday, Feb. 21 from 6 to 7 p.m. in the Delany Room.
Book Chat is on Feb. 16 at 6 p.m. There is always homemade pie and great literary conversation.
Workshops for adults are scheduled on the fourth Thursday of each month.
