Interesting and attractive bookmarks are a fun little incentive I use in the library. Many of my students haven't had much experience with school libraries, and I've been trying to teach them to be careful and responsible with their books. Students earn \"points\" when they return their books in good condition (and on time), and these points can be redeemed for bookmarks or other fun, small incentives.
