Make Your Mark, Design a Bookplate

Post date: Oct 30, 2011 3:59:51 PM

Bookplates, also known as ex-libris, are decorative labels placed in the front of books bearing the name of the owner. Simple or ornate, they often feature beautiful design and artwork.

All students are invited to submit designs for bookplates to commemorate donations to the Arlington High School Learning Commons through our new Adopt a Book program. Download a submission form for details.

To be considered for the first batch of bookplates, your design must be received by Ms. Kitsis in the Media Center no later than Friday, November 11th. Questions? Stop by the Media Center or email Ms. Kitsis at skitsis@arlington.k12.ma.us.
