Abstract
This newsletter piece describes outreach programs designed to enhance student engagement with the law library. Research Cafe is an initiative where a librarian answers reference questions in the law school cafe to expand library reach by relocation. The Meme Contest encourages students to create unique, law school memes to cultivate good humor and a sense of community. The Quiz Show is an interactive, trivia game that showcases library resources and services. This article presents these three efforts as a way to embrace innovation and promote the law library.
