SAG Vice Chair Vacancy
SAG is seeking a vice chair! This is a two-year appointment: one year as vice chair, and one year as chair. The vice chair assists the chair in setting the agenda and runs meetings if the chair is absent. This is not a large time commitment, and it is a great way to get involved in the libraries.
If you are interested or have any questions, please contact Jara Anderson (jbanderson@missouri.edu) or Jennifer Walker (walkerje@missouri.edu).

Painting on Ground Floor of Ellis Library to Start Monday
On Monday, July 29, Campus Facilities will begin painting on the ground floor between the staff lounge and the twin elevators. They will also paint in front of the Museums at the bottom of the stairs. They plan to be done by the time school starts.
In addition, we are working on some new signage for that area to help patrons find the ground floor Museums entrance.
