This document describes an event called Library Lovers' Day that took place at Broughton Anglican College in 2014. The event involved a speed dating activity where students selected books from different genres and had 5 minutes to get to know each book, rating them before rotating to the next table to meet another book. After 4 dates, students could choose to have a second date with a book. Rating sheets were later analyzed to display the most popular books or "Hot Dates". The event encouraged students to find new books to read in a fun, silly way.
