Ellis Library's fabulous Security Department put together a very festive and creative slideshow for the holiday party! The theme was "Peace on Earth," and many departments around the library participated by creating peace-related signs and having their photos taken.
The slideshow can be found here (MU login required):
(Thank you, Sheena, for sharing this with Muse readers. And thank you, Dustin and Matthew in LTS, for making the slideshow web-accessible.)
The 2014 Holiday Party was held on December 19th from 3:00 – 6:00 in the Ellis Library Reading Room. Guests from the MU Libraries and Jesse Hall brought dishes to share, and MULSA provided drinks. Tables were decorated by miniature trees, contributed by various departments.
After 25 years of service to Ellis Library, Sue Barnes, head of Serials, has retired. As well as managing her day-to-day tasks in the Acquisitions department, she also served as Community Service chair for MULSA, organizing collections to benefit local charitable groups including the food bank and Rainbow House. Sue’s last day in the office was December 10. A reception was held in her honor. The treats included carrot cake, pinwheel sandwiches, and punch. We will miss Sue and wish her the best!
The 2014 MULSA Thanksgiving Luncheon was held on Friday, November 21 in the Ellis Library Reading Room. The holiday was celebrated by library faculty and staff as well as Jesse Hall staff currently residing in Ellis due to Renew Mizzou. The main dishes were catered by Jack’s Gourmet Restaurant, while guests brought side dishes and desserts to share. Tofurkeys were also provided as a vegetarian option. Collection bins were available for MULSA’s Holiday Food Drive for the local food bank and Second Chance.

Much meeting and greeting ensued at the MU Libraries, Cashiers and Enrollment Management Meet-and-Greet hosted by the MU Libraries Staff Association (MULSA) and the MU Libraries Diversity Action Committee the afternoon of July 17th. Employees from the Registrar and Admissions offices were also present. Attendees brought snack foods with some personal, ethnic or cultural history, and many provided recipes. The most frequent comment was “Will there be another one of these?”
Photos from the event can be found in the MULSA photo album.

MULSA’s annual picnic was held on Friday, June 20 at the Gordon Shelter, Stephens Lake Park. The theme was Caribbean Cruise. Fittingly, the park shelter was decked out as a cruise liner and christened the MULSA Island Jewel. Refreshments included Culvers fried chicken plus a variety of sides and desserts provided by attendees. Activities included steel drum karaoke, a piñata for the children, and a game of bocce ball. The picnic planning committee was comprised of Social Co-Chairs Tammy Green and Sheena Waggoner and volunteer Adrienne Arden. The set-up crew consisted of Sheena, Adrienne, Bill (Adrienne’s husband), and Mary Studer-Logsdon. Sue Barnes, Community Service Chair, organized a collection of food and monetary donations for the Central and Northeastern Missouri Food Bank. Sue also organized door prizes, which included Mizzou Concert Series tickets, Mizzou Store gift cards, and Culvers ice cream vouchers.
Photos from the picnic can be found in the MULSA photo album.
