Event Description

Wrap a beloved book. Swap with a stranger. Discover your next read.

Blind Date with a Book is a literary leap of faith that often leads to the most wonderful discoveries. Bring along a treasured book wrapped in brown paper and ribbon, keeping the title and author delightfully mysterious. You’ll exchange it with another reader, offering them your perfect recommendation while receiving theirs in return.

In an intimate, cosy setting surrounded by fellow book-lovers, we’ll gather to share excerpts and ideas from books that have moved us, building a warm circle of readers at BIC. The evening culminates in a grand unveiling of our wrapped treasures, followed by time to browse our specially curated library collection and continue conversations over shared discoveries.

Whether you’re a seasoned bibliophile or just beginning your literary journey, there’s a community waiting for you!

Please note: This is an interactive event designed for a small group of 20 people only. To share this experience widely, we invite those new to our book swap gatherings to join us this time.

This event is part of our Programmes at the Library series at BIC.

We’re reimagining the BIC Library as a warm, welcoming space for connection and exploration. Through thoughtfully curated sessions, we aim to engage the diverse interests and ages within our community. Our goal is to create an enriching environment for discovery, experimentation, and collaboration, beyond the books on our shelves!

We welcome your ideas and input. If you have ideas for events or activities that align with our vision, we’d be delighted to hear from you. Please reach out to us at library@bangaloreinternationalcentre.org
