Photo Sale!

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

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.

This website has a variety of applications such as egg timer, cash clock, chess clock, online alarm clock, metronome, stop watches, countdown timers, and a useful full screen large online calculator. You might find the egg timer useful if you wish to set a certain amount of time to do a specific task or you might like to use the stop watch to time how long it takes to do a task. It is a great time management tool.
