What do you use to keep your place while reading a book? Bookmarks come in all shapes and sizes! They can be made of paper, metal, fabric, beads, ribbons, and so much else. They can be fancy or simple, and just plain fun! Come celebrate World Bookmark Day with us at our free bookmark swap. Got a pile of bookmarks you've picked up from the library over the years? Do you have more bookmarks than you could ever use? Or maybe you usually use whatever is just handy nearby, like a store receipt, and you'd like to have something a little more interesting? Come to our bookmark swap and trade your bookmarks with others!
Would you prefer to make your own? Pick up a template at the library, get creative, and then bring your design to us by February 21st. We'll print out a few on cardstock and laminate them for the swap. |
