Bookmarked! #142: Libraries are Forever

Ramona knows! Of course, sometimes the buildings aren’t forever, as a previous post showed. But the idea of the library keeps going.

Another little bookmark I picked up, almost certainly at a library, in the 1980s. No DVDs to borrow back then. You signed out films by the reel!

Bookmarked! #141: The Fun Years

Take a book to bed instead . . . of what? A bottle? A blonde?

I don’t know when I picked these up, but it says they were printed in the mid-1980s which sounds about right. Bookstores and libraries used to always have stacks of free bookmarks like these at the checkout but now you rarely see them.
