Reading is
often compared to taking a journey, as you get to spend some time somewhere else,
seeing the world through someone else’s eyes.
Well, the
International Bookmark Exchange offers you another way to do just that.
Participating students are asked to create a beautiful bookmark (relevant to the ideas at the core of the exchange) which, if it is picked as one of the best, will be exchanged with a student at one of the schools we have been matched with. This year our partner schools are in Estonia, Romania and Jamaica, and we hope to learn more about them once we receive their bookmarks.

All students
aged 10-13 are eligible to enter, and all they need to do is come to the
library, collect their blank bookmark, decorate it in a beautiful and relevant
way and hand it in before Wednesday 22nd October.
Winners
will be notified and will receive their reciprocal bookmark thereafter. Those bookmarks that are not picked will be
laminated and returned to their owner – so everyone who enters will end up with
a brand new bookmark one way or another!
What better
way to spread peace and unity than to find common ground with people in the far
away corners of the world through sharing our love of books and reading. Keep an eye on this blog for updates.
