We had a library takeover of Mizzou’s Instagram stories during National Library Week. The stories consisted of interviews with our new peer navigator stories. We just found out those stories had 37,750 total impressions, with a 97% retention rate.

Thanks to Taira Meadowcroft and Emma Fernandez for organizing this with the student workers and Mizzou social media staff!

Check out the cool picture of the Grand Reading Room on the Mizzou homepage.!

To spotlight National Library Week, Mizzou social media folks interviewed a couple of our peer navigators for Instagram stories this week. You can see all of our Library Week stories (including some from previous years) at https://www.instagram.com/mizzou.libraries/.

Thanks to Emma and Taira for coordinating this with Mizzou Social Media!

This tweet got a lot of attention. It’s a newshub post that highlights two libguides: LGBTQ resources and LGTBQ health resources.

Today and tomorrow we will be congratulating our graduating student workers on social media. Follow Mizzou Libraries on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Several of the specialized libraries will also participate.

Take a #studybreak and color some of our collections. @MUSpecColl created coloring pages featuring items from the collection. There's even a #Mizzou edition to get you into the tiger spirit https://t.co/amaKBp7sNE pic.twitter.com/rNwdTPHpAG
