[SLI-public] sustainable children's swag

[Julie Finch]

I love the idea of seed packets or bookmarks, there's also stationery.

At our library, the only children's prizes we do now are books. This is sustainable because it's not plastic, can be re-given (environmental) and every child deserves to own at least one or two books (equity). No one has complained about no more oriental Trading Company.

Emily, I can ask our youth and children's librarians for their input. Sara

Does anyone have any recommendations for branded sustainable swag that is geared more towards the younger (children's) demographic?

Thanks!
