Don’t forget that the deadline for the MULSA cookbook is approaching. Has someone brought a dish to a work event in the past that you really enjoyed? Let them know that you would love to see their recipe in the new cookbook! All library staff and student workers are welcome to turn in their favorite recipes regardless of whether they work in Ellis, a branch location, or from home. Please share the link with your student workers and let them know they can turn in recipes as well since they might not know they can participate in this or how. No one is limited to turning in only one recipe. Recipes can be submitted using this form (https://forms.gle/pAoTjzJCzs7CuPzn9) or emailing them directly to Rachel. Thank you to everyone who has already shared their recipes.

July will be here soon and here’s a fun art challenge especially if you’ve never tried Urban Sketching before. It can be as simple as sitting in your front yard or in a cafe. These drawings aren’t about winning the State Fair or being in an art gallery so don’t worry about how “perfect” you’re sketches will be. If you like keeping things simple or are trying it out for the first time, all you need is paper and a pen. Urban sketches can make great additions to travel journals even if it’s just a day trip to someplace else. To find out more about this challenge please go here) https://kickinthecreatives.com/kick-urban-sketching/
