This was my submission for the National Library Week Bookmark Contest at my local library this year... and I got first place! :D

It was rather fun to see my submission printed up on bookmarks and given out to tons of people, and it just felt good to have my work displayed in such a public and joyful way! There are few feelings comparable to having a kid run up to a selection of designs and excitedly point towards yours as the one they want to go home with.

The theme for this year was 'Libraries Lead'. My brain went immediately to two places... The first being pencils (lead... get it!?) and the second being a cute group of anthro kids following one another with books. I think I wisely chose the latter :P

Also, this was a subtle dig at all the folks I hear mispronouce the word 'Library' as 'Lie-berry'... I have now educated them!

Hope you all enjoy :) This was a blast to do! I love projects like these and really wanted to share it with you all!
