What is a bookmark?
Bookmark Craft
A bookmark is a thin marker, often made of paper, card, leather, or fabric, used to mark the page in a book that the reader has reached or left off reading. The main purpose of a bookmark is to help the reader easily find their place in the book when they resume reading.
Some key features and uses of bookmarks include:
Placing the bookmark at the page you stop reading so you can easily return to that spot later.
Keeping track of where you are in a long book or multi-volume work.
Marking a specific page or section you want to refer back to.
Decorating or customizing a book by using a unique or personalized bookmark.
Preventing damage to book pages by avoiding folding page corners.
Serving as a placeholder for notes, receipts, or other items you want to keep with the book.
Bookmarks come in a wide variety of materials, sizes, and designs – from simple strips of paper to elaborate handcrafted markers. Many books even come with a ribbon or cord sewn into the binding to serve as a built-in bookmark.
