When did the first bookmarks appear? What were they made of?
What are book postcards? What types of bookmarks have existed for many centuries, and which were invented in the 21st century? What do bookmarks from different parts of the world look like?
More than 150 visitors to the exhibition «The World of Bookmarks» have already seen exhibits from 35 countries, made of various materials: from leather and wood to glass and papyrus. Young viewers were especially impressed by modern bookmarks, which can perform many functions – from flashlights and calculators to toys and book stands.
Each item from the collection of one of the largest collectors of bookmarks Elena Bulkina is amazing. The impeccable style and sophistication, technology and versatility of such a simple object prove that this is not just an auxiliary element for reading. This bright diversity emphasizes the importance of books and book culture in modern life, as well as the significance of the library as a center of knowledge and cultural exchange.
Each visitor to the exhibition who takes part in the interactive quiz receives a bookmark as a gift as a pleasant addition to the experience and an incentive to continue exploring the world of literature.
The exhibition «The World of Bookmarks» will last until October 31 in the «Ex Libris» hall. Do not miss the opportunity to discover new horizons and be inspired to new literary achievements!
