Are you a wiz at finding books new readers to love them? Or maybe you’re looking for a new book to love?
Sign-up for “Speed Book-Dating” to find a new book to capture your heart. Forms will be available in the Library and from your English teacher. Forms are due to the library by Thursday, February 8th.
We’ll find new books to love Wednesday, February 14th at lunch.
North’s twelfth annual Speed Book-Dating event takes place Wednesday, February 14th at lunch in the library. If you’ve never been to the event before, here’s how it works:
- Come down to the library right at the bell with your lunch.
- Place all bags and coats on tables and find the seat labelled with your name. (If you’ve asked us to provide your book and we have a copy, it will be on your chair.)
- Eat your lunch while waiting for everyone else to arrive.
- When we begin, you’ll be paired with one other person who also has a book to share. Introduce them to your book. You can say what the book is about, why you think they’ll love it, and and/or what you loved about it.
- Next your partner will tell you about their book to love. Remember (or make a note) of the book’s title if it sounds like a story you might want to spend some time with.
- Rotate and and do it all again with your new partner.
Most of the books are available in our library. If you’ve forgotten which title stole your heart, we will also have a list of who presented what so you can easily find the books that made your heart flutter.
One of the Teacher-Librarians will go over these instructions again so relax and enjoy.
Thank you for supporting this annual event!
Note: The library will be closed to all other patrons during lunch.
