Abstract:

Disclosed is an Elastic Bookmark which removably attaches to a book or other reading material and which is used to both temporarily mark a page during a reading session and securely mark the readers place at the end of a reading session. The elastic bookmark is made of one or more pieces of elastic cord fastened together so it has a center section made of elastic cord with a large loop at one end, a small loop at the other and a button at the base of the large loop which can be used to engage the small loop. The device is attached to a book, or other reading material, by placing the cover and, at the readers choice, a convenient number of pages all or part way through the large loop with the button outside the book. The center section is used to temporarily mark the selected page. To securely mark the selected page, the reader stretches the center section, wraps it around the book, and attaches the small loop to the button.
