Book Speed Dating is an event where participants get three minutes to browse books and find ones they like. They are encouraged to focus solely on the book in front of them during their brief "date" and move to a new book after three minutes. The goal is to make quick connections with books and find new favorites in a fun, fast-paced environment similar to romantic speed dating. Participants are instructed to be respectful of others and not interrupt their reading during the timed sessions.
