Lost your bookmark? It might be on display at this library

What do use to mark your place in a book? A bookmark? A scrap of paper? A postcard? And how often have you lost it?

Well, staff at a library in Devon often find bookmarks of all kinds in returned books, and some have been collecting dust in the library for years.

So, they decided to make their collection "official" and create a Museum of Lost Bookmarks.

The display showcases dozens of bookmarks - what a novel idea!

According to Alice Haynes, who works at the library, bookmarks can be anything from "receipts, slips of paper and shopping lists" to "children's creations, photos and postcards".

Staff favourites so far have been a jigsaw themed bookmark and a scrap of paper that said ""still chainsawing, still love you, still no puppy". How strange!

The library believes the display will only grow from here "as there's always more bookmarks coming into the library", but of course they try to reunite the bookmarks with their owners first.

What's the strangest thing you've used as a bookmark?
