[ISLMA-Share] Gifts for volunteers

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

We've made upcycled bookmarks out of due date cards (just hole punch the
top center & put some bakers twine through the top). They fit right inside
the envelopes with our thank you cards - our volunteers loved having a
"piece of the library" to take home with them.
