Friends Annual Bookmark Design Contest
Post-it note? Your napping kitty’s tail? Folded corner (gasp!)? 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. From preschoolers to adults, there are different age categories – each with their own winner.
This event is sponsored by the Johnson County Library and the Friends of Johnson County Library. Submissions for the most recent competition were accepted from July 9, 2023, to September 10, 2023.
If you missed this year – don’t forget to check back in with us next summer for 2024 date announcements!
