Around, eighteen-hundred people attended Show Me Mizzou Day and over 150 people came through Ellis Library. Attendees had over 100 activities/events to choose from. Compared to other activities, we were one of the most family-inclusive events, meaning there was something for all age ranges to enjoy. We received feedback that attendees loved playing with the tech, viewing the maps and making buttons. It was a success thank to our volunteers!

In addition, the Health Sciences Library also provided activities for their visitors.

With sponsorship from ULSAC, MULSA, and the Libraries we are once again going to celebrate Library Student Employee Appreciation Day.  The celebration will be Thursday, April 25th.  There will be a cookie reception in the Ellis Staff Lounge from 2pm to 3:30pm that day.  We encourage you to meet up with your students and come with them to partake in some cookies and let them know your appreciation for all that they do for us.  We will also again be sending boxes of cookies to all of the specialized libraries and off-site locations so that you can celebrate with your students in your space.

Supervisors, please forward the below invitation to your student employees.

Please join the University Libraries Student Advisory Council (ULSAC), the MU Libraries Staff Association (MULSA), and the University Libraries in celebrating you, our wonderful student workers.

We will be hosting a Reception featuring cookies for you on Thursday, April 25th from 2pm to 3:30pm in the Ellis Library Staff Lounge.  Please drop in between classes for cookies and some conversation.  We will also send cookies to each Specialty Library and off-site location for students who do not work in Ellis Library.

The Libraries truly could not operate without our student workers!  Thank you for all you do!
