BOOKMARK CONTEST
"SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE AT THE LIBRARY"
Massachusetts School Library Association invites students in grades K-12 to participate in their annual Bookmark Design Contest. Students are encouraged to design a bookmark that shows how the school library sparks big ideas, fosters community, and empowers every voice. Winners from across the state will be honored at a special award ceremony. Grand prize winners will have their designs professionally printed.
