The Jackson-Madison County Library invites the community to celebrate National Library Lovers Month in February, an annual celebration of the love that communities have for their libraries. Special programs will be offered all month long, including the popular “Blind Date with a Book” promotion and an appearance by Llama Llama for a pajama-themed story time.

Throughout the month of February, patrons can visit the Main Library or the North Branch and check out a book based solely on its description for the “Blind Date with a Book” promotion. Books from all genres and for all ages are wrapped up with only a brief description visible to give the reader an idea of what is inside. Each book also includes a “Rate Your Date” card to get reader feedback. Patrons who put their name on the feedback card will be entered in a drawing for a prize to be awarded at the end of the month. 

“Llama Llama Pajama Story Time” coincides with “Take Your Child to the Library Day” and will begin at 10:30 a.m. Feb. 3 at the Main Library. Children are encouraged to wear their pajamas for story time with Llama Llama. Members of The Jackson Symphony will also perform Conductor Peter Shannon’s adaptation of “The Magic Flute” for preschool story time at 10:30 a.m. Feb. 13, also at the Main Library.

Adults can share their favorite titles with others and talk about upcoming books and series they are interested in reading at “Book Buzz” from noon to 1 p.m. Feb. 12 in the Community Classroom at the Main Library. “Book Speed Dating” will give adults the opportunity to mix and mingle with new books to find true literary love from noon to 1 p.m. Feb. 14 in the Community Classroom at the Main Library. All events are free and open to the public.

Everyone is invited to stop by the Main Library or the North Branch to complete a card letting us know why they love the library. Cards will be shared with elected officials for advocacy purposes. 

The Jackson-Madison County Library is located at 433 E. Lafayette St., in downtown Jackson, and the North Branch is located at 8 Stonebridge Blvd., next to the China Pan Buffet.
