Fuller Library is challenging you to do the same! Stop by our Blind Date with a Book display and pick out a “date.” Take the book to the Circulation Desk and get some sweets for your sweet! Who knows…perhaps you will fall in love!

Also, the desk is straight from our Archives – it belonged to and was used by Grace Fuller!
