On February 14, 2002, Ellis Library hosted a wedding.  Diana Stone (Ellis Library Circulation Dept.) and Reynold Stout II were married on the balcony overlooking the second-floor reading room.  The reception was held in the ground-floor staff lounge and combined with the MU Libraries Staff Association’s Valentines Party.
