Junior Duck Stamp Program Display in Ellis Library
The Federal Junior Duck Stamp Conservation and Design Program is a dynamic art- and science-based curriculum that teaches wetland and waterfowl conservation to students in kindergarten through high school.
The Junior Duck Stamp Art Contest is the culmination of the Junior Duck Stamp educational program. After studying waterfowl anatomy and habitat, students
express their newfound knowledge by drawing or painting a picture of an eligible North American waterfowl species.
Students from across the United States submit their artwork to their state, territory or district art competition.
The “Best of Show” from each competition is submitted to the National Junior Duck Stamp Art Contest, where judges select one image to become the next Junior Duck Stamp.
In 20018, more than 20,000 youth participated in state and territory Junior Duck Stamp art contests. On display in the Ellis Library colonnade during the month of January are winners of the Missouri Junior Duck Stamp Contest.

Information Commons Tables to Be Refinished
Good afternoon, the tables in Ellis IC1 have been scheduled to be refinished over winter and spring breaks. DoIT SITE staff will be coming either this afternoon or tomorrow to remove the computers from the tables on the east side and store them in one of the group study rooms until the tables return. These machines are configured in the same way as the computers in IC2, and the machines on the bars looking out the South windows will remain in place as well. While there will be in impact to the total number of computers, there should not be any loss of software availability. The refinishing project is expected to take about two weeks.
If all goes according to plan, we will be planning a similar activity over Spring break for the remaining tables in IC1.
Sincerely,
Ernest Shaw
