Last Call for Reverse Trick or Treat Volunteers
For the past two years, a small group from the University Libraries have participated. We make goodie bags and hand them out. Putting together the goodie bags takes an hour or so. Handing out the goodie bags also takes about an hour. If you do not want to go to the hospital to physically hand them out, you can always help with the goodie bags.
Reverse trick-or-treating allows staff dressed in costume to deliver treats and small treasures to children in their hospital rooms.
If you are interested in participating, please email Taira Meadowcroft at meadowcroftt@health.missouri.edu by the end of today.
Upcoming Diversity Opportunities, October 15th-19th
The Diversity and Inclusion Committee will send out upcoming opportunities every week we think will be of interest. We hope that you will help us continue to build a library culture of diversity and inclusion. At the end of each month, we will have an open forum for those who are interested in debriefing about the workshops/sessions/trainings you attended.
