**EXAMPLE:**
### Salute Librarians: BOOKMARKS
Students at a middle school were asked to think of places in the school and the school area, that made them happy, secure or gave them other positive feelings. They went to these places and took photos of them. The photographs were then printed on premade bookmark templates.
They cut out the bookmarks. Then they were told to use the bookmarks as they wanted.
Bookmarks created by the design studio [PWR](http://pwr-stud.io/) and Fredric Gunve.
By creating bookmarks, and then using and distribute them, the participants become aware of how they take part in the world and the story's that surround us all. The bookmarks become a connection between the reader, the story and the author who wrote the book that the bookmark is placed in. This is one of many workshops in CHRONICLE-QUEST that explore methods to understand how to connect different dots to each other. Dots, in this case are all possible situations, places, people, materials, stories, and more that surround and defines us by how we intra-act with them.
