What is Ex Libris?

Ex libris is a branch of art that identifies and glorifies the book's owner. They are small print pictures with their names and designs on different subjects that book lovers stick on the inside cover of their books. We can say that they are business cards or deeds of a book. They identify and glorify the book's owner and warn the borrowers to return the book. Ex libris is an essential communication tool. Although they were born as a necessity, they are original artworks created with aesthetic concerns.
