Design a Bookmark Contest is back!

Showcase your love of reading by designing a bookmark for the Library!

Kids from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8 are invited to design and enter their very own bookmark. Winners will be announced during Ontario Public Library Week (October 16-22), with 12 winning designs being printed and distributed throughout 2024. Winners will also receive 25 copies of their bookmarks to keep (or share with family and friends), and their bookmark design will be displayed in the Library.

The last day to submit your bookmark is October 2, 2023.
