Summertime means preparing for our welcome week escape room! We are looking for volunteers to help us run the Escape Ellis Library escape room, Friday, August 18th from 3-7 pm. As a volunteer, you’ll be a room monitor for one of our 4 escape rooms. It’s a fun time getting to see the students go through the rooms. Pizza will be provided for volunteers. https://library.missouri.edu/news/staff-news/thanks-to-everyone-who-helped-with-the-team-escape-room

If you aren’t available on August 18th, we do need volunteers to go through the escape room so our room monitors can see how the rooms work. This practice run-through will be on July 31st at 3:30 pm.

If you are interested in helping, please send me an email. Thanks!

Thank you to the following graduate students, staff members and librarians who volunteered to work at last weekend’s Show Me Mizzou Day activity at Ellis Library:

• Grace Atkins
• Tyler Blood
• Shannon Cary
• Cindy Cotner
• John Fifield
• Kelli Hansen
• Haley Gillilan
• Trevor Hook
• Jefferson Hulbert
• Nav Khanal
• Taira Meadowcroft
• Amanda Sprochi
• Kelsie Wilkins
• Michelle Zigler

Around, eighteen-hundred people attended Show Me Mizzou Day and over 150 people came through Ellis Library. Attendees had over 100 activities/events to choose from. Compared to other activities, we were one of the most family-inclusive events, meaning there was something for all age ranges to enjoy. We received feedback that attendees loved playing with the tech, viewing the maps and making buttons. It was a success thank to our volunteers!

In addition, the Health Sciences Library also provided activities for their visitors.
