Gilgandra Library feels the love...

Gilgandra Library celebrated Library Lover’s Day on 13th - 14th February. This is when we celebrate the great resources provided by all kinds of libraries around Australia. In Gilgandra, the library offered borrowers free tea and coffee all day, and the opportunity to take a “blind date with a book”. “Blind date with a book” means that a selection of books are wrapped in plain brown paper, with a personal advertisement attached to the front, giving prospective borrowers a hint of what the book is about. For example: “Warrior-turned monk seeks history buff interested in the daily life of a 12-century monastery – which can be far from peaceful, full of mayhem and murder! May lead to further dates, as there are sequels!”
Can you guess which novel this is? If so, post your guess as a comment below or at Gilgandra Library Bookchat, or call in to the library to see if you are right!
