“My local library branch started doing this “Blind Date with a Book” thing, thought you guys might like it. The shelf was full when we got there, but was like this as we were leaving. The books are wrapped in paper and have different designs on them, and then a few words vaguely describing the subject matter of the book. Things like “Drama”, “Plot Twists”, “espionage”, etc. The only thing exposed on the book is the barcode that you use to scan the book out. I thought it was a pretty cool idea.”

Happy Halloween! Reading is much preferable to axe-murdering, IMHO.

It’s the first night of Hanukkah, and the holiday season has officially begun! Time to start doing good deeds and giving to charities — not to mention furthering literacy in your community.

Neil Gaiman Explains All Hallow’s Read

All Hallow’s Read is a Hallowe’en tradition. It’s simply that in the week of Hallowe’en, or on the night itself, you give someone a scary book.

Scholars have traced its origins as far back as this blog post.
