Rick Mulholland, the International School Library Month Bookmark Project Coordinator has released the following information:
Once again the ISLM committee is organizing a bookmark exchange project. Currently, we have a shortage of participants from outside of North America.
The details of this projects is as follows:
The ISLM Bookmark Project involves matched schools making homemade bookmarks (any style, shape etc. – be creative) that reflects International School Library Month’s theme of: School Libraries: The Big Picture. The bookmarks must be mailed to your matched school in October 2009.
If you would like to become involved in this project, you will need to send the following information to the bookmark coordinator:
– your school’s name
– your school’s location (city , state/province/ country)
– the grade/age level of the students to be involved
– number of students involved (this is very important to ensure that you are matched to a school of similar size)
– the contact information (name and email address – include an alternative one where you can be reached during any school holidays)
Every few weeks until early September 2009, a new list of schools will be sent to the participating schools to choose a match.
For more information or to add your name to the list of participating schools, contact:

Bookmark coordinator
This could be a fun project for students. It could be incorporated into Book Week activities.
