None of those are nearly as cool as having a bookmark with your very own artwork on it. Every year, the Friends host an Annual Bookmark Design Contest Honoring National Friends of Libraries Week, in October. From preschoolers to adults, there are different age categories each with their own winner.
Stay tuned for 2023 Annual Bookmark Contest Details!
