Hi! Join our team of walkers for the March of Dimes March for Babies (formerly known as Walk America). It’s easy to sign up for our team! Just visit our team Webpage at http://www.marchforbabies.org/510086 and click on “Join this Team.”
Our Team Name: Mizzou SISLT
Our Team Webpage: http://www.marchforbabies.org/510086
Event: April 26, 2008 at 9 am
Where: Forest Park in the Lower Muny Parking Lot (Map)
Our Team Goal: $500 but I hope we can surpass this!
Please contact Chris or Anna with any questions.
This is not only a great cause but it’s an excellent opportunity to get together with other LIS students, alumni, and faculty here in the St. Louis area and to be visible in our community!
Don’t forget to sign up your friends and family members for our team too! We can help this great cause!
Up until the walk on 4/26, you will raise money through sponsorships for our team. It is easy to recruit sponsors and contributing online is fast, easy and secure. When you join the team, you will be given an webpage and you can send emails to all of your friends and family members. You can even put banners on your profile in Facebook or on your blog! They can donate directly from that personal webpage with a credit/debit card or PayPal. If your sponsor prefers, you can also accept cash or check. They just need to click the appropriate box on the webpage. In this case you will need to follow up to ensure payment.
Please note: I will setup a meeting area the morning of the event so we can all walk together as a team. More details to come.
We need your help. Please join us in the fight against prematurity. Visit our webpage and be apart of our team!
Thank You!

Dewey Decimal Drinks this Thursday! November 6, 2007
Posted by apenningster in FYI, Fun Stuff.add a comment
Dewey Decimal Drinks: A gathering of St. Louis librarians/library workers to network, chit-chat, and to talk about things librarians talk about after work.
We will meet this Thurs., Nov. 8th, starting at 7pm at Riley’s Pub, 3458 Arsenal (just east of Grand). The place is accessible via the #30 Soulard and #70 Grand buses. Riley’s is the kind of place that feels like my neighborhood pub even though it ain’t in my neighborhood. They have big, tall wooden booths and St. Louis style pizza that is actually good. They’re giving us a drink special this month (on a microbrew, methinks). I’m excited, and I hope you can make it.
Heads up: Riley’s is pretty smoky, if that’s an issue for you.
Bookishly yours,
Claire-ian the Librarian

Dewey Drinks next week (Oct. 11) at Venice Cafe October 2, 2007
Posted by apenningster in FYI, Fun Stuff.add a comment
The next Dewey Decimal Drinks will be next week on Thursday, October 11 at 7pm.
We’ll meet at the Venice Café, 1903 Pestalozzi St in Benton Park. The Venice is pretty much just across Highway 55 from the big Anheuser Busch brewery. It’s a neat place—virtually every surface, inside and on the patio, is covered with a mixture of art and colorful found objects.
Since it’s Halloween season, this month we encourage you to wear your best stereotypical librarian outfit. It’s not mandatory, but we will have a few prizes for the best ensembles. And if you’re saying to yourself, “Gee, my best stereotypical librarian outfit is the clothes I wear to work every day,” well… For starters, we love you, and for seconds, we just might give a prize to the best dressed librarian in their regular work clothes.
We’ll nudge you again when the date draws nearer. If you’d like to see the October flyer (starring future supermodel Exine), check out our pics on the Dewey Decimal Drinks Facebook group or on MySpace at http://www.myspace.com/deweydecimaldrinks.
Yours bookishly,
Claire Nowak-Boyd

The best thing you can do for us is show up, have fun, and try to talk to some people you haven’t met before. Bring your pocket change to throw in the jar to donate to StudioSTL, a very worthy and wonderful local literary arts organization.
