Where to buy blank journals
by audrey＠rauchholzlibrary.org 03 Feb '23

03 Feb '23

Hello Everyone, I need help finding some blank journals for summer reading giveaways. I’d like to find some that have a gender-neutral design, are blank on the inside (no lines), have a hard cover, are at least 5”x7” size, and can be purchased in bulk. For those of you who have bought journals like this before, could you please let me know where you purchased them from and send me a link if it was online? (Even if it’s not exactly what I’m looking for, any leads on where to buy would be helpful! Thanks!) Thanks in advance! 😊 Audrey Glass Youth Librarian Rauchholz Memorial Library 1140 N Hemlock Rd Hemlock MI 48626 989-642-8621
