Blind Date with a Banned Book

This Banned Books Week, discover your perfect match at our adults-only Blind Date with a Banned Book! Browse mystery profiles, pick your date, and enjoy coffee, tea, and cozy vibes.

Celebrate Banned Books Week with a twist on dating… but this time, your match is a book! At this adults-only library event, you’ll browse “dating profiles” for challenged and banned books. Each profile will give you playful hints about a book’s personality, backstory, and even the reasons it has been censored or challenged. The catch? You won’t know the title or see the cover until you choose your match.

Once you’ve picked your “date,” unwrap your book and enjoy the surprise with a cup of coffee or tea from our cozy book café. At the end of the event you can choose to check out your book from the library and continue reading! Along the way, you’ll learn more about the history of banned books and why the freedom to read matters. Whether you leave with a lifelong favorite or simply enjoy a fun night of discovery, this event is all about celebrating stories that refuse to be silenced.
