Musings on Bookmarks

If you have ever checked out a book at Franklin County Library, then you are aware that we make bookmarks available for you.  The most popular are the scented bookmarks.  We have had strawberry, watermelon, bacon, sunscreen, and even pickle scented bookmarks.  Kids love them, but adults seem to like them too.

Have you ever had an extra special bookmark?  One you didn't want to lose?  Chance has a metal Harry Potter bookmark that he uses exclusively.  Julie has special cross-stich bookmarks. 

We have even crafted folded paper, corner bookmarks at Marvelous Mondays!
 
Books at the library are often turned in with very interesting bookmarks.  We have found butter knives, toothpicks, money, utility bills, dry spaghetti noodles, q-tips, hairbands, and other unusual items being used as bookmarks. 

The following interesting bookmark ideas from Pinterest seem like a lot more fun.  The Wicked Witch one at the end is a particular favorite.
