Look It Up @your Library Bookmarks

Here are to 2010-11 winners of the 9th annual Bookmark Contest for the Anchorage School District!

This contest was started as a way to highlight libraries in a positive way, as the district was implementing some drastic budget cuts.

I love the fact that BOOKS still dominate the images on the bookmarks!

Book Bird Brings Cupcake, too

This whimsical portrait of a book bird and her baby represents why I love working in an elementary library..random acts of creativity!

Library Thing Widgets

LibraryThing (http://www.librarything.com) provides users with a number of ways to share the books in your library with others. I love the way you can tag groups of books, then create a widget that displays the selected books on your website or blog! The books on the bottom right are my example of a 1 column/2 row widget displaying random covers from my entire collection, which are mostly books found in Lake Hood Library!
