Dumpling in a Hanky

Yay, the artist behind the mysterious book sculptures that appeared in Edinburgh last year is back, and everyone has a chance to find (and keep) one of her gorgeous sculptures! As this story in the Edinburgh Evening News relates, next week is Book Week Scotland, and each day next week, the Scottish Book Trust website will be revealing a clue to the location of a sculpture, hidden somewhere in Scotland. Once it's found, the original sculpture will stay where it is, but the finder will get their own sculpture. Wait: does that mean they've actually made 10 new book sculptures? Anyway, sounds like splendid fun to me: I'll be keeping a beady eye on the Scottish Book Trust site for clues. I wonder if they'll have a hashtag to go with it, so everyone can join in with the hunt, wherever they are? #bookhunt? #bookchase?

Library items and imagery are popular for use as both adornments for the body, and the home. These final posts (so many I've had to split it into two) covers those types of items, and anything else that might come under the heading of "random libraryish stuff".

Putting words about libraries and books onto posters is very popular, so there's all sorts of options out there. These items are here because they have a quote or slogan about libraries or books printed on them. There's one quote in particular that seems to be a favourite of poster makers: see if you can spot which one it is.... Library bird (ok, it's a magnet, but hey...)
