Coffee Mugs Available for Libraries Events

MU Libraries and MULSA have purchased 96 clear glass, footed, 8 oz. Irish coffee mugs to be used for Libraries events. MULSA has agreed to store the mugs, and the Greener MU Libraries Task Force members will assist with dish washing when the mugs are used for official Libraries events.

If you would like to use these mugs for one of your events, please contact Shannon Cary. If you are using the mugs for a social event, such as a shower, the event organizers will be responsible for making sure the dishes are washed and put back into storage.
