I have just come across [PenguinDating](https://penguin.match.com/matchuk/cp.aspx?cpp=en-uk/landing/penguin/index.html&TrackingID=525527&BannerID=656426&ref=lorcandempsey.net) “where book lovers meet”, a partnership between Penguin and match.com.

> You can go on singles nights in libraries and there’s even a hybrid speed-dating book club in a pub. Here at Penguin Books we’ve teamed up with match.com to create penguindating.co.uk. You can be intrigued, perplexed, turned off or turned-on by our singles’ reading habits. Now we don’t want to get too snobby here, because one woman’s Vampire Encyclopaedia is another’s love at first bite. A young buck reading a history of Goldman Sachs might be exactly what you’re after even though you’re busy stockpiling Marian for a week in the Balearics. Sometimes it’s enough to provoke curiosity when a person’s reading taste jars with your mental image of what they should be reading. That guy who looks like he’s just clocked-off from a building site, surely he can’t be clutching the collected works of Jane Austen? \[[Find Singles Online Dating with Match.com](https://penguin.match.com/matchscene/article.aspx?articleid=9866&menuid=7&lid=429&TrackingID=525527&ref=lorcandempsey.net)\]

Lots of potential for libraries here ….
