It is a local marketplace, where buyers make an offer for an immediate need and sellers find a marketplace for items and services they never knew were for sale. In simple terms, folks post what they want and get it from someone nearby.

Holiday Food Drive –
MULSA will be sponsoring a food drive and contest to benefit the Columbia Area Food Bank, as well as Second Chance (for animals), beginning this Friday, November 18th and culminating on Friday, December 16th at the Winter Holiday Party. We will provide each department and branch that wishes to participate with donation boxes. Over the next 4 weeks we encourage library staff to bring in and donate non-perishable food items. At the annual Holiday Party we’ll announce the 3 departments or branches that have donated the most items. There will be prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places. Let’s fill those boxes up!
If you have any questions please contact Steve Clayton at the Journalism Library, 882-7502.
November 2011 Spotlight Award Co-Winner: June DeWeese
Part two of our November 2011 Spotlight award winners is none other than MU Libraries’ own Head of Access Services, June LaFollette DeWeese!
Born in Trenton, MO, June is a lifelong Tiger. She came here for her undergraduate degree in Political Science and subsequent MLS. She began working for MU Libraries as a student employee and has been here since–for total of 42 years of service!
In her free time, June enjoys reading and attending book clubs, going to concerts, and playing with her two dogs: a chocolate lab and a white lab basset hound mix.
The coolest place June has ever visited is Liberia. If a movie were to be made about June, it would star Helen Mirren, and the Elvis cover “You Never Walk Alone” would be included in the soundtrack. Helen Mirren would also at some point be sporting those coveted gold walking shoes June acquired during a trip to Las Vegas in the 1980s.
Out of any fictional or real person to share a drink with, June would choose Ice tea with her mother.
