At this time of the year, there are always questions about postal rates for next year. Everything you need to know about postal rates are at this one place. Please note that there are new Priority Mail and Express Mail International products available. It is worth comparing prices each year because UPS announced price increases of more than 5% for next year.

Good Thing LTS (to the tune of Good King Wenceslas )
Good thing LTS is here, working on my P.C..
Windows Seven’s bugging me; all it does is tease me.
Intermittent wi-ireless, students want to log in
iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, bandwidth they are hogg–in’.
More computers every year, never a dull moment
Library technology’s… in a state of foment
EndNote, MoSpace, online books, audio is streaming
We are happy LTS… isn’t running scre -ea – ming.
Good thing LTS is here; we’d all like to hug them!
Always full of wit and cheer, even when we bug them.
Just to prove we value the…help they are imparting,
Before we pick up the phone, we will try resta-ar-ting.

Martin Spilker, whose photography is on display in the Bookmark Café, is moving and would prefer to sell the photos rather than take them home. He is offering them to library staff at a minimum of $20.00 each. If you are interested in purchasing any of the photos, please email your offer to Anne Barker at barkera@missouri.edu, with Photos in the subject line. If more than one person is interested in the same photo, it will go to the highest offer. If offers are tied, we’ll have to draw names from a hat. Offers will be accepted until 5:00 on December 17.
The photos don’t have titles, but you may identify them as Waterfall, Tigers, Lighthouse, Tree, Bay, and Mountains.
