  • Ellis Library will open to staff only at the normal hour of 6:45 am and close at 5:00 pm.
  • Staff will need to use plumbing facilities elsewhere on campus. Memorial Union, the Arts and Science Classroom Building and the Mizzou Student Center will be open for access to restrooms.
  • Staff members are encouraged to take vacation or personal time time if possible on this day. As usual, prior supervisor approval is required.
