Appropriate for Today: Love in the Library

Speed Dating with a Literary Twist as Libraries Offer Love
Belgium is using the promise of romance to lure single readers into libraries in what librarians hope will become a new fashion - bib-dating.

So how long do we think it will be before more libraries start offering bibliodating? I know the Bettendorf Public Library (a library near my hometown in Iowa) use to be the location for a speed dating event. While the Library did not sponsor the event and served merely as a location, I could see some libraries trying this out as a program. I know one of the libraries in my area is trying to do more programming targeting people in their 20s and 30s. Perhaps I'll be reading about them doing a bibliodating event soon.
