The middle of "February" is RU, not YOU!
YOU will RUE the time you spent doom scrolling on social media when you see the prize you could win for completing the 24 in '24 Reading Challenge. If you start with a challenging book these winter months, the rest of your reading list will be gravy! Pick up a book about Kangaroos, or Shakespeare's switcheroo in The Comedy of Errors! Learn the rudiments of cooking a new cuisine with one of our cookbooks!
I don't mean to intrude on your personal life, but you might want to use the matchmaking services of our staff in our Blind Date with a Book program and find true love with a new author. Or you could borrow a biography of one of our Presidents to read at home on February 19th, when the Libraries will be closed in observance of Presidents' Day.
Sincerely,
Kevin Sheehan |

This Valentine's Day, 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 where you won't know what they are until you check them out and unwrap them. Let luck be your guide in this season of love!
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. (Only available while supplies last.) |
