Book Lovers - Leave Your Mark, Find Your Place with Book Labels and Book Marks
Bookmarks hold our place between the pages of a book or magazine - gently keeping track of where we left off reading. Bookplates are small labels pasted inside the cover of a book to identify the owner or library owner of the book.
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.

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.

Bookmarks for Kids to Make
Encourage Reading and Prevent Damage to Bindings
You can encourage kids to read by having them make colorful bookmarks for themselves and as gifts for friends and family. Bookmarks make ideal party favors and craft activities, plus they offer a creative way to use up bits of leftover craft papers, card stock and trimmings.Younger children will enjoy decorating a coloring bookmark, then pasting it onto card stock to make a personal bookmark or gift.
Bookmarks are popular favors for kids parties, and as treats for Halloween, summer camp activities or as a small extra tucked into a birthday card. Some bookmarks can even be used as a gift tag - simply write your personal message on the back and the tag becomes a bookmark to treasure for years.
