UC San Diego Library is proud to support the 8th annual World Bookmark Day (WOBODA) celebration, orchestrated by the International Friends of Bookmarks. This annual celebration pays homage to the quiet companion of readers, the bookmark. Also known as “quitter strips,” bookmarks have been a functional counterpart of books for more than 2,000 years.
This exhibit features an assortment of unique bookmarks of varying shapes and sizes, award-winning bookmarks handmade by students from The Preuss School UC San Diego, and bookmarks that celebrate Women’s History Month. Library visitors are encouraged to stop by the exhibit to sign a guestbook thanking The Preuss School students for allowing us to display their work at the Library.
This exhibit is geared toward friends who love to use bookmarks while reading; friends who love to collect bookmarks, illustrate and produce bookmarks; friends who write blogs, articles, and books on bookmarks; friends who take care of bookmarks in libraries and museums; and other unknown friends.
