I’ve talked before about how you can have special bookmarks made out of rare types of wood or silver, or ones that are creative novelty items. But you can also just pick up free paper bookmarks, which are usually ads for something, at bookstores and libraries. At least you used to always be able to do that. More recently I haven’t seen as many.
On my last trip to the library I did see a pile of these bookmarks though, which really mark the bottom of the bookmark hierarchy. Looks like they just photocopied sheets of the same image and then chopped them up with a paper cutter. But since my aim is to include every sort of bookmark, from high to low, I thought I should give them a post anyway.

They do the job! Are they just paper or on card?

Just paper. Nothing on the back so at least you can make notes on them if you want.

Noooo, notes on the book you’re reading! If I didn’t take notes I wouldn’t be able to write them up later.

They don’t seem big enough for that.

They aren’t. I mainly use envelopes. But if there aren’t many notes to take then at least they have some functionality.

I can see why a library wouldn’t invest much time or effort into quality bookmarks. Just enough so people can use it for the one book they check out all year and then throw away when they eventually bring the book back.
Maybe your library should hire Nancy Drew to find all their “overdue” books!

Nancy knows her way around a library! So does Miss Marple. Victor the Assassin . . . I’m not so sure.

I’d take em. Despite having plenty of bookmarks, it’s not always a given I can find them when I want them, so I’m usually grabbing some scrap of paper anyway.

Yep, these are definitely the scrap of paper bookmarks. Personally, I use envelopes most of the time.

That’s because you read hardcovers. They don’t work so well for paperbacks.

Not for MMPB, that’s true.
