Description

The March limited-edition bookmark debuted for the Emerson community in mid March of 2026, after students and faculty returned from spring break. Inspired by olympic figure skater, Alysa Liu, this bookmark is an ode to Alysa! Not only did she perform exceptionally well at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Rome, but she did so using her own music, skating in costumes she felt comfortable in, and after training on a schedule that she approved. This shift was unlike her past experience as a skater, with strict regulations on how she should skate, look, and even eat. Now at 20 years of age, Alysa is not afraid to do things on her own terms and win gold from it! The front of the bookmark is designed with Alysa wrapped in an American flag with the caption, "Write your own story" as a reminder to the Emerson community to make their own path. On the back, there are more designs of Alysa with a QR code that allows viewers to explore a full list of Iwasaki Library resources.
