Five Why Nots

Picking up the meme from the LibrarianInBlack.

Why not....

1. make your student workers your best customers by offering 10-minute mini-training sessions with library staff: "Behind the Scenes in ILL," "How to Become a Librarian," "What's a Subject Encyclopedia and What's It Good For?"
2. have a "Take a Photo with a Librarian" table available after Commencement and hand out bookmarks that promote life-long learning using libraries?
3. host a weekly NaNoWriMo writing group during November in a meeting room, providing refreshments and reminding everyone how useful reference librarians are to writers?
4. sponsor (and write the questions for) a Trivia Night to raise money for a good cause?
5. use vacuuming robots to clean the floors overnight (have a naming contest and provide a small prize to the student who brings the robot to the circulation desk in the morning) and pay the cleaning staff to wipe tables instead (then allow food in the library!)?

So, what are your five?
