(BEDFORD) - The cliche warns not to judge a book by its cover — especially if the cover is plain brown paper.
Teens and others can select a blind date from a display of books wrapped in brown paper in Teen Services at the Bedford Public Library.
Hints about each book's contents are written on the outside of the wrapper.

Several book prizes will be awarded each week.
