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. From preschoolers to adults, there are seven different age categories – each with two winners!

Submissions for the Friends Annual Bookmark Design Contest honoring National Friends of Libraries Week are now closed! Stay tuned for our announcement of the winners!

This event is sponsored by the Johnson County Library and the Friends of Johnson County Library.
