Happiness is a Library Endowment Fund

That’s the name of the newest endowment at University Libraries! Thanks to Anne Morgan, our colleague in Mizzou’s Office of Planned Gifts, we now have a “Happiness” fund that will provide funding for our library student workers. Anne committed to celebrate paying off her student loan and said, “I wanted to do something to pay it forward to my people. I love libraries and the people that work for them. I hope my gift will help a few students get through college with a little less debt.” The fund will be used to provide a modest hourly pay increase for selected Level II student workers.

Anne is generously creating this fund with a $100,000 pledge from her estate and has already begun making monthly gifts by payroll deduction to enable us to make use of the fund during her lifetime. Anne is encouraging others to give to the Happiness fund, and if you’d like to get in on the happiness, please contact Matt Gaunt or Nick Raines in the Libraries Advancement Office.

Librarians, Staff Members and Student Workers Needed for Homecoming Open House

I emailed (see below) everyone earlier that we need help with the Homecoming Open House at Ellis Library. I wanted to let you know that LMT has approved overtime pay for staff members who want to help out. You may also be able to work out leave time with your supervisor if that is your preference. Also, if you have any student workers who might want some extra hours, please let them know about this opportunity. And thanks to Cindy Cotner and Jeannette Pierce who have already said they would pitch in! Mara Inge will be offering historical tours. Thanks, Mara!

“Good morning! We will be hosting our annual Ellis Library Open House after the Homecoming Parade on Oct. 22. The event will be from 10 a.m. to noon, and we will also need some help with set up starting around 9 a.m. It’s always a fun event, we provide snacks and drinks, plus family-friendly activities, such as button-making and decorating mini pumpkins.

If you can help out (please check with your supervisor first), please let me know by the end of this week.”
