Gosh, I love books...I used library cards and sleeves for table numbers at my wedding and named each table after our favorite books..Put a copy of the book cover in frames in the center of the tables instead of numbers..People took them home..it was fun. I will look up my favorite stamps that have books and report back tomorrow (working now..) I have a few stamps that would work for bookmarks...I make them all the time...
I know I use my Anne of Green Gables stamp from Bella all the time...she is my favorite.... Have fun with your Book Swap tea!!
I have this bookmark set from Papertrey and love, love, love it! I've used it to make lots and lots of bookmarks.
I also bought their bookmark die, but usually end up just cutting my solid color cardstock about 2" x 6" and adding pattern paper. I made a bunch of altered comp books and matching pens and bookmarks for Christmas gifts that were a huge hit.
I used my Cropadile to add a large eyelet on the top and threaded fuzzy fun fur yarn through for a tassel.
I have been planning to make bookmarks for my book club members, and a while ago I collected some quotes. Not sure where I got them from but I hope some of them are what you are looking for.

Oops! I wasn't thinking. The quote by George C. Lichtenberg contained a word that was edited out automatically. It's a three-letter word for "donkey."
Here are some more book quotes:
A dose of poison can do its work but once. A bad book can go on poisoning minds for generations. -William Murray
A good book on your shelf is a friend that turns its back on you and remains a friend.

Never lend books for no one ever returns them; the only books I have in my library are books that other folks have lent me. -Anatole France
No entertainment is so cheap as reading, nor any pleasure so lasting.
-Mary Wortley Montagu
It often requires more courage to read some books than it does to fight a battle.
-Sutton Elbert Griggs
The best of a book is not the thought which it contains, but the thought which it suggests; just as the charm of music dwells not in the tones but in the echoes of our hearts. -Oliver Wendell Holmes
Such great quotes! Here's the one I have framed on my bookshelf: "The truly cultured are capable of owning thousands of unread books without losing their composure or their desire for more."- Gabriel Zaid
I totally want to throw a book swap party now, too!

Stampendous has a great wood stamp called "Ollie Reads" and it is an owl reading along side a mouse reading...So adorable.. They have a great clear set called School for Max which I use alot too with the mouse reading in a circle which reads "I love to read" Adorable and the set also had a mouse sitting in middle of an open book....
What a great idea!! My Favorite Things has a couple of good stamp sets for bookworms and some great sentiment sets, too. Also a newly release tea set. My Favorite Things
I did a yahoo search for "digital images bookplate library books" and found several dozen images. I plan to give each guest at my book swap tea a little package with several different types of bookplates. They can write their names on them and put them in their books they want to swap. In the invitation I also have little "check out" cards where the guests can write down who is "borrowing" books they would like to have returned to them eventually. Or, they can put them in the books to keep a list of who all the book has been forwarded to over time, even if they don't want it returned.
Calling all bookworms!
