Speed Dating: Book Edition

Join us for Speed Dating: Book Edition—a Valentine’s Day gathering designed to connect book lovers through conversation, curiosity, and community. This isn’t about romance (unless it’s literary). It’s about meeting people who read like you read.

Before the event, all registered participants will complete a short survey about their reading preferences—favorite genres, beloved books, reading habits, and more. Book Advisor, Hillary Copsey, will use your responses to thoughtfully match you with other book lovers who share your interests, making each conversation intentional and engaging from the very first page.

During the event, you’ll rotate through a series of short, timed conversations with your matched readers. Expect lively chats about books you love, titles you recommend to everyone, and stories that shaped you. Think speed dating energy, but with a friendly, low-pressure vibe and a shared love of books at the center.

Lunch provided

Whether you’re into fiction, nonfiction, memoirs, poetry, or all of the above, this event is for anyone looking to build community through books. Come solo, leave with new connections—and a reading list that just got a lot longer.
