Free Artist Bookmarks

The Library is participating in the 2009 Bookmarks project, organised by the Centre for Fine Print Research and the University of the West of England, Bristol.
Participating artists each produce an edition of 100 bookmarks for free distribution. The bookmarks are collated into sets, with one full set sent to each artist, and the rest divided and sent in small boxes to participating galleries, bookstores and libraries for free distribution. Each bookmark is archived in the gallery section of the Bookmarks website, with the artist’s details.
You'll find this year's bookmarks at the library service desk - simply help yourself to the one you like best!
