Special Spaces in Mizzou Libraries: Prayer Hall

An interfaith meditation and prayer space is designated for use at the southeast corner of the first floor that offers a secluded space in Ellis library.

We’ve placed signage in the area that requests respect for those engaged in meditation or prayer. In less busy times, you might be able to reserve an open study room for a more private space.

The Division of Inclusion, Diversity & Equity maintains a list of spaces on campus that can be used for meditation and prayer.

Librarians, Staff Members and Student Workers Needed for Homecoming Open House

I emailed (see below) everyone earlier that we need help with the Homecoming Open House at Ellis Library. I wanted to let you know that LMT has approved overtime pay for staff members who want to help out. You may also be able to work out leave time with your supervisor if that is your preference. Also, if you have any student workers who might want some extra hours, please let them know about this opportunity. And thanks to Cindy Cotner and Jeannette Pierce who have already said they would pitch in! Mara Inge will be offering historical tours. Thanks, Mara!

“Good morning! We will be hosting our annual Ellis Library Open House after the Homecoming Parade on Oct. 22. The event will be from 10 a.m. to noon, and we will also need some help with set up starting around 9 a.m. It’s always a fun event, we provide snacks and drinks, plus family-friendly activities, such as button-making and decorating mini pumpkins.

If you can help out (please check with your supervisor first), please let me know by the end of this week.”
