Label Your Books with Book Plates - Save Your Page with a Book Mark
If you love to read and collect books, you probably have a collection of special bookmarks and your own personal bookplates or library labels for your book collection. Bookmarks that hold our place between the pages of a book or magazine - gently keeptrack of where we left off reading. Book labels, or bookplates pasted inside the cover of a book identify the owner or library home of a book.
Book lovers often label their books with book plate labels that may say "Ex Libris" and their name. Many bookmarks and bookplates are small works of art, similar to artist trading cards. Treasured art bookmarks and book labels often have a special picture or border decoration.
This lens provides tips on finding bookmarks and bookplates you can print or buy, plus designs, tips and patterns for making your own unique bookmarks and bookplates.
Bookmarks and book labels for children encourage reading and a love for books. Making bookmarks is a popular kids craft, and many adults enjoy making their own personal bookmarks from paper, fiber, greeting cards and ribbon.

Bookplates - Artistic Name Labels for Your Library
Bookplates were first used in Germany after the introduction of moveable type and book printing presses. The practice of sticking a label with the library owner's name and a bit of art or coat of arms took off from there and was very popular. Today book lovers and libraries still affix bookplates to books to identify and adorn the inside book cover (front or back).Childrens bookplates encourage young readers to build a personal library beginning in childhood, and they instill a sense of love and respect for books at an early age.
If you love to read, you probably have a collection of books you love, and loan books to family and friends. Adding a bookplate to the inside cover of your books reminds borrowers where to return your treasured volumes when they've finished reading.

Great lens! I'm a librarian and I think I will print out some of these for kids to make at my library. My own kids know that the quickest way to irritate me is to leave their books laying open, face down. Or almost as bad, dog ear the pages.
I have a large collection of r bookmarks myself. Any ideas on displaying booksmarks?
