Making a gift for your librarian can be a great way to show your appreciation for the work they do. Librarians are often underappreciated and it’s nice to take the time to recognize them with something special. Whether you want to make something yourself or purchase an item, here are some ideas on how to make a thoughtful gift for your librarian:
1. Make them a personalized bookmark – A custom bookmark is an excellent way to show that you care about their work and appreciate all of their efforts in helping others find the books they need. You could use cardstock paper and markers or paints, or even print out images from online sources like Etsy or Pinterest.
2. Create a book-themed basket – Fill up a small basket with items related to books such as bookmarks, postcards, pens, notepads etc., then add in some snacks and treats too! Your librarian will surely love this thoughtful gesture which shows that you put effort into creating something special just for them.
3. Put together an art kit – If your librarian loves creative activities, then putting together an art kit would be perfect! Collect supplies such as colored pencils, markers, crayons and sketchbooks then wrap it all up in pretty packaging for added presentation value! They’ll definitely appreciate having new materials at hand whenever inspiration strikes!
4. Get tickets to their favorite event – Does your library host any events? Or perhaps there's a book reading happening nearby? Why not get tickets so that both of you can attend together? It'll be fun bonding experience plus they'll know how much you value spending quality time with them outside of the library walls too!
5. Donate books in their name - Finally if budget is tight but you still want to give back somehow why not donate books in honor of your librarian? Most libraries accept donations so seek out more details on what kind of titles they need most right now before making any purchases!
