Cal Maritime Library

Remember when we could safely congregate in close quarters? Barely! We wish we could be festive with you all in person, but in the meantime, we'll take a look back a few years to the 2016 holiday season. Enjoy these historic photos which include some of our stellar library student employees. Wishing you a safe & healthy holiday season from the Cal Maritime Library.

All masked up! #maskitime

Calling all Keelhaulers! To prevent the spread of COVID-19, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that you wear a mask when you leave your home and ...go to public places. But there’s no reason that mask has to be boring! Be creative and show us your best design for a face mask. Anyone who attends or works at Cal Maritime is encouraged to submit a photo of them wearing their mask. To be entered into the contest, you can submit your photo either by posting it on social media with the hashtag #CalMaskitime, direct messaging the official Cal Maritime social media accounts, or uploading it using this form: https://bit.ly/3fpnwSB. One entry per person. By submitting your photo, you accept the terms for entry and affirm that your photo may be used by Cal Maritime in future publications and communications. The contest runs from July 15th August 15th. Two winners will be randomly selected to each win a $50 gift card!

It's #CalMaskitime! Check out this awesome video from Erin in the Makerspace to get ideas about customizing your facemasks. :)
