My library does Blind Date with a Book and it is so much fun matching them!

Library staff here. What they did for you in the blind date book program is something they can do for you all the time. It's called readers advisory and all librarians learn it in their schooling. They'll help you find a book that you might like, and the more that librarian does it, the more they'll get to know your tastes and the better they'll be at it. Also, most librarians LOVE doing readers advisory and wish they could do more.
