1. Read the brief descriptions on the front of the book wrappers and choose one to take home. No peeking yet! 2. Check out the book and don't forget to take a "Rate the Date" bookmark. 3. After you’ve checked out the book, unwrap it to officially meet your date. Give the book a chance but if things don’t work out, simply return it. No hard feelings! 4. Fill out your "Rate the Date" bookmark and return it with your book for an entry into the drawing for a $25 restaurant gift card. The more "dates" you go on, the more chances you have to win! |
