  Bookmark Contest

  
  
  

  
  

  CASL is thrilled to be sponsoring a School Library Month bookmark contest for PK, Early-Elementary, Elementary, Intermediate, Middle, and High School Students from April 1-24 for the 3rd year! We had some amazing bookmarks last year and are excited to see what your students create for 2026!

  School librarians of the winning design will receive posters of the winning bookmarks and actual bookmarks to share with your students!

  We have created an event template for you to run a school event from April 1-24. From April 24-May 3 you can upload your SCHOOL WINNER(s) to our shared folder. The CASL Board will select a winner from each category and announce on May 12, 2026. 

  (If you would like to access a Canva template where you can type in your school's information before printing out the form for your students, click here.)
  

  Please register your school for reminders, links, and to be recognized on the CASL Website!
