Speed am picking Cedar that Rapids dating

The Cedar Rapids Public Library is using a service similar to speed-dating to help people find their new best friend. During speed dating, a person rotates around a room, talking to different people to try and find a match. People will rotate talking to each person for about 5 minutes.

They will have a list of ice-breaking questions like favorite TV shows or favorite songs. When it's over they can decide on exchanging contact information to possibly become new friends.
