When It's Okay to Draw Inside a Book

Post date: Oct 16, 2012 10:36:53 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 Media Center through our Adopt a Book program. Download the 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 Monday, November 5th.

Questions? Stop by the Media Center or email Ms. Kitsis at skitsis@arlington.k12.ma.us. Curious about bookplates? Check out last year's artwork for inspiration, or these cool historical examples online from Stanford University and the Library of Congress.
