It’s been a while since we submitted anything to the News Notes, but that’s because things have been hopping up here on 4 West! Here’s what the three of us have been up to since the semester started:
- Taught 30 classes in the reading room for over 440 students
- Hosted a field trip and made presentations for fifty 5th-grade social studies students from Grant Elementary School
- Mounted the “Books with Personality” exhibit in the Ellis Library colonnade
- Led a workshop for MU faculty and graduate students as part of the Fridays @ the Library series
- Presented a workshop on National History Day resources for middle school and high school educators, in collaboration with the State Historical Society
- Represented the Libraries on National Museum Day at Mizzou North by doing presentations and leading art activities on medieval manuscript production for kids and parents
- Hosted a drop-in mini-exhibit on banned comics and graphic novels on the first floor of Ellis Library for Banned Books Week
- Began participation in an inter-campus research project with UMKC – see our separate announcement for more details.
And we’re still keeping up with our social media outreach. Take a look at our top posts on Tumblr this month.
