Die öffentliche Bibliothek im dänischen Odense hat mit „Speedlit“ eine bibliothekseigene Variation des „Speed Dating“ eingeführt.

Während einer Abendveranstaltung in der Bibliothek bringt jeder Teilnehmer ein Buch mit. Das Buch dient als Anlass für den Beginn einer “Speed-Unterhaltung”.

Das Motto: „YES to stepping out of the safe-zone and try something new. YES to experiment when it comes to communicating literature”.

It is not only about the love of books but love through books when speed dating moves to the library. Following the successful events in Belgium and Australia, the Main Library in Odense decided to organise a SpeedLit evening with more than just dating and refreshments on the agenda: the hopeful participants could bring a book that has meant a lot to them to act as an icebreaker or set the tone of the one-one-one speed dates.What better way to meet new people than in the safety of your local library with your favourite book under your arm.
