This year’s outstanding student library employees all have the same thing common: what they love most about the Libraries is the people.
“It’s been one of the best, most welcoming workplace communities that I’ve been in, and I think that comes from the fact everybody here really wants to be here,” said Ryken Farr, a student assistant archivist at Andersen Library.
Since 1996, the Friends of the University of Minnesota Libraries’ awards committee has celebrated our student employees who exemplify excellence and make strong contributions to the Libraries. Read the full story at the link in bio.

For our final Magrath memories video, librarians Megan Kocher and Kristen Mastel remember a tradition both loved and loathed: the former grilled cheese station during Welcome Week at Magrath Library.
Since 1985, the Doris S. Kirschner Cookbook Collection has been a beloved and unique highlight of the Magrath Library experience. The collection contains more than 6,000 items including cookbooks, pamphlets, and recipes ranging in date from 1890-present.
As we prepare for Magrath Library’s closure on May 13, Megan Kocher, Science & Evidence Synthesis Librarian and curator of the Kirschner Cookbook Collection, reflects on what the space has meant to her over the years.

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories.
