Blind Date with a Book This February, don’t judge a book by its cover! Visit the Parlin or the Shute libraries and have a meet-cute with your new favorite book. Already wrapped and waiting are some wonderful reads – but you won’t know what they are until you check them out and unwrap them! Feeling a little more daring? Fill out one of our “Blind Date with a Book” surveys and our librarians will match you with a book we think you’ll fall in love with. It will come to you wrapped and with some special surprises generously provided by the Friends of the Everett Public Libraries. Available while supplies last!
