MeLCat Bookmark
by Victoria Edwards 08 Apr '25

08 Apr '25

Hello, To inform patrons about the potential impact of IMLS funding cuts to popular library services, the West Bloomfield Library has designed a bookmark to be placed in patrons' MeLCat holds and shared with patrons who have questions. I've heard a few libraries are considering similar steps. You are welcome to reuse our bookmark design. We created the design on Canva <https://www.canva.com/design/DAGjmWHyEgU/ndEz9EB5-5R3il7JQukN5g/edit?utm_co…>, so your library can copy, edit, and add your own branding; just click File>>Make a copy. I will update the Canva template if changes are necessary. Alternatively, I've attached a ready-to-print version with 6 bookmarks per page (attached). *You'll want to print it two-sided and flip it on the short edge.* Kind regards, *Victoria Edwards* (248) 232-2273 Marketing Coordinator West Bloomfield Library
