Program Description

Event Details

From Wednesday April 15 through Friday May 1, free blank bookmarks will be available at Manitowoc Public Library. Everyone is invited to have two blank bookmarks to decorate. Use markers, paint, colored pencils, glitter, anything you want to turn your bookmark into a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. 

We encourage you to keep one for yourself, but also make one for someone important to you. Share your artistic talent with a friend, family member, anyone you care about. Say thank you to a coworker, teacher, or neighbor with the gift of art. 

If you would like your artwork featured on our Facebook page, bring your bookmark to Comic Book Day on Saturday May 2, anytime from 9AM-1PM. We’ll post a picture of your design to our Facebook page. We would love to see your bookmark and learn who you’re giving it to!

You could also donate your bookmark to the library. To donate, please return it to MPL by Friday May 22. Do not include any contact information on the bookmark. All donated bookmarks will be given away for free during Summer Reading 2026.

Bookmarks are free and artists of all ages are encouraged to participate.

We hope you have fun decorating your bookmarks!
