Director’s Report
October, 2014
1. Adult Services update (From Elke): During the last few weeks, we have been able
to offer several successful and fun programs:
a. On Saturday 9/20, the Lionel Railroad Club entertained ca. 120 people
(mostly children) with a model railroad table that allowed the children to
run three different trains.
b. On 9/22, Mark Moran was back to appraise antiques and collectibles. This
program always fills up much too fast and is a lot of fun for participants
and spectators.
c. On 10/7, Brew City Paranormal gave a presentation to 42 fans of all things
weird and unexplainable.
d. On 10/8, Waukesha County offered another excellent program with an
environmental focus, this one focusing on fall lawn and leaf care.
We have a few more programs scheduled for the next month, as well as the
Friends’ Bookfair at Barnes & Noble, a fundraiser to help support future Library
programming. Then things will become a bit quieter as the holidays and the
January chill approach.
2. Young Adult update (From Amanda): In celebration of Halloween the staff and
the teen advisory board have decorated the library. There will also be a Day of the
Dead Face Painting program on October 30 in which the teens will paint full face
Calaveras on themselves and their friends. October marks the beginning of fall
programing for the teens, and therefore book clubs will start meeting. The two
book clubs are the Young Adult Book Club which meets on the 3rd Wednesday of
the month, and the Twisted Fairy Tales Book Club which meets on the 4th
Monday of the month.
3. Children’s update (From Christi): The Children’s Department has been busy with
regular weekly programs including Lapsitters, Baby & Me, and Rhythm &
Moves. We’ve been working on collection development, implementing a new
holiday section including new spine labels and updated holiday stickers, as well
as purchasing new materials in the picture books, juvenile nonfiction, and easy
readers. There is also a new juvenile nonfiction section featuring recently added
nonfiction materials located next to the new juvenile chapter books. Big books are
also being added to the catalog and will soon be housed on big book racks in the
picture book area.

(262) 971-2100 www.cityofmuskego.org/library
4. Building update: The City’s IT department completed installing the new public
computer workstations. City Maintenance employee George Wolwork is
continuing to help us make changes to some staff areas to make better use of our
space. Space for the Friends of the Library will be consolidated in one room,
instead of spread out in several places. Some youth storage and work areas are
being modified to create more space for programming.
5. Marketing update: This past month the staff reached out to the Chamber of
Commerce regarding the planning of a program with a Muskego resident on
successful change in business. Programs and events were promoted in-house,
through social media, and through the Library’s electronic newsflashes. The
Library is planning a December Book fair with Barnes and Noble and the Friends
of the Library. Children’s Librarian Christi Sommerfeldt also made her first
school class visit.
6. Staff update: Circulation Supervisor Linda Brown attended the Back in
Circulation Again conference in Madison earlier this month. This conference is
held every other year, and provides an opportunity to gather information on
circulation issues. Sessions that Linda attended include Leading the Way to Yes:
Building Good Will through Circulation Policy and Practice, Making Service
Great, and Training Circulation Assistants Beyond Standard Expectations.

SUBJECT: COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT POLICY
DATE: OCTOBER 15, 2014
CC:
Attached is a recommended Collection Development policy, which I will go over at the
Board meeting. The American Library Association’s Bill of Rights, Freedom to Read,
Freedom to View, Code of Ethics, and the Muskego Public Library’s existing collection
development policy are also attached for reference.
Muskego Public Library
POLICY: Collection Development
Approved by the Library Board:
Page 1 of 4
The Board of Trustees of the Muskego Public Library has adopted the following collection
development policy to guide librarians and to inform the public of the principles upon which
collection development and management decisions are based. Collection development is the
ongoing process of assessing the materials available for purchase or licensing and making
decisions on their inclusion and retention.
The Vision and Mission Statements of the Muskego Public Library guide the selection of
materials as it does the development of services and the allocation of resources.
Vision: The Muskego Public Library is the focal point of the community for exchanging
ideas, accessing information, and developing community. Its collaborative team is
committed to superior materials, services, and staff expertise.
Mission: Ideas, information, community.
The following statements and policies have been adopted by the Library and are used as guidelines for
the development of the Library collections. The Library endorses the American Library Association’s
“Library Bill of Rights,” “Freedom to Read,” “Freedom to View,” and “Code of Ethics.”
Objectives
The objectives of the Library are to collect, organize, and make easily available the materials housed
within the Library. The library staff is guided by a sense of responsibility to the community in order to
meet the above stated goals. Library staff members selecting library materials and resources are
expected to keep the overall objectives in mind when applying their professional knowledge and
experience in making selection decisions.
Responsibility for selection
The professional staff of the Muskego Public Library (the selectors) is responsible for the selection of
library materials and resources chosen to fulfill the above objectives. Other staff members and the
public may recommend materials for consideration. Final responsibility rests with the Director who
operates within the framework of this policy as approved by the Library Board of Trustees. The Director
delegates to professional staff members the authority to interpret the policy in day-to-day decisions
regarding the development of the collection and the subsequent selection of library materials and
resources.
The exceptions are digital materials, which are provided through a state or system wide buying pool, to
which Muskego Public Library contributes funds. These materials include audio, video and electronic
books, and are selected through the Wisconsin Public Library Consortium or the system’s appropriate
committee. The Muskego Public Library has no direct control over this selection, other than to

recommend titles. Relevant selection committee and collection development policies are set through
the appropriate organizations.
Guidelines for selection
The selection of any material or resource does not constitute an endorsement.
Selection decisions are guided by the merits of the work, collection needs and interests of a
diverse community.
Selection decisions are not influenced by the possibility that material may be accessible to
children. The Library does not restrict access to any material by age, and leaves the
responsibility for children’s use of its materials to each child’s parent or legal guardian.
The Library acknowledges a particular interest in local, county, and state history and
government. The Library will add to its collection works produced by authors, printers, or
publishers with local connections that meet the purpose and objectives of this policy.
The Library selects materials of varying complexity and format because it serves a public
embracing a wide range of ages, educational backgrounds, interests, sensory preferences, and
reading skills. When staff review and select materials for purchase, they consider the special
needs of the community.
The Library recognizes that materials and resources may be controversial.
Criteria for selection
The selectors must consider each type of material in terms of its own merits and the audience
for whom it is intended. No single standard can apply to all acquisition decisions. Some material
may be selected primarily for artistic merit, scholarship or value to humanity, while others may
be chosen to satisfy the recreational and entertainment needs for the community.
Some library materials are subject to widespread and/or heavy local demand. These high-
demand items may or may not meet the general and specific criteria contained in this policy.
Selectors give serious consideration to the volume and nature of requests by members of the
public. In addition, as the social and intellectual climate of the community changes, materials
not originally recommended for purchase may become of interest. Such materials will be
reevaluated as the need arises.
To build a collection of merit and significance, selectors acquire materials according to objective
guidelines. They evaluate acquisitions, whether purchased or donated to the library, primarily
by examining reviews in one or more of the professional library review media and checking
against the criteria listed below.
The Library uses a website and social media in order to meet the information needs of patrons.
Professional librarians use the general criteria outlined in this policy when linking to external
content.

physical condition, and need. All gifts added to the collection must be available for public use. Materials
donated to the Library, whether added to the collection or not, become the property of the Library, and
will not be returned to the donor. There is no obligation for the Library to retain ownership of the item.
Materials not added to the collection will be given to the Friends of the Library Book Sale or disposed of
by other means. The Library cannot place a monetary value on gifts for tax purposes, but receipts are
provided upon request.
Monetary gifts are always welcome and may be designated as memorials. When monetary gifts are
intended for the purchase of materials, library staff will make the determination of what titles to buy,
using the same criteria as for all other purchases.
Gifts of non-library items such as paintings, portraits or art objects ordinarily will not be accepted. If
accepted, the item become the property of the Library, and will not be returned to the donor. There is
no obligation for the Library to retain ownership of the item.

POLICY: Collection Development
Approved by the Library Board:
Page 4 of 4
Evaluation and Withdrawal of Materials
An attractive, up-to-date, currently useful collection is maintained through a continual discarding and
replacing process. Materials may be withdrawn from the library collection after careful consideration of
these factors:
physical condition
currency of information
lack of use
superseded by a new edition or better work on the same subject
space needs
Although every effort will be made to replace needed materials which are withdrawn, the Library takes
the position that it is better to have no information on a subject than to have materials which are
inaccurate or in poor physical condition.
Materials withdrawn from the collection may be given to the Friends of the Library Book Sale or
disposed of by other means. Individual items that are being withdrawn will not be saved for specific
individuals.
Request for Reconsideration
The Library will reconsider any material in its collection upon written request of a patron who fulfills the
following steps:
1. The patron will be given a copy of the Muskego Public Library Collection Development Policy,
which includes the Request for Reconsideration of Library Material form. This is available at
the Information Desk.
2. If the patron wants to pursue the reconsideration, the completed reconsideration form must
be submitted to the Library Director. The Library Director will notify the patron in writing
within 1 week, confirming that their request has been received. The Library Director will
appoint a staff committee to review the item being questioned and the committee will make a
recommendation to the Library Director within 4 weeks of receiving the initial request.
3. The Library Director will decide whether or not the item should be retained and the patron
will be informed of the decision in writing within 1 week of receiving the staff
recommendation.
4. The patron may appeal the Library Director’s decision by submitting a written request for a
hearing before the Library Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting. This request must be
submitted within two months of receipt of the Director’s decision.
Once submitted, this form becomes a matter of public record: (Wisconsin Statutes 19.32).

Library Bill of RightsLibrary Bill of RightsLibrary Bill of RightsLibrary Bill of Rights
The American Library Association affirms that all libraries are forums for
information and ideas, and that the following basic policies should guide
their services.
I. Books and other library resources should be provided for the
interest, information, and enlightenment of all people of the
community the library serves. Materials should not be
excluded because of the origin, background, or views of
those contributing to their creation.
II. Libraries should provide materials and information
presenting all points of view on current and historical issues.
Materials should not be proscribed or removed because of
partisan or doctrinal disapproval.
III. Libraries should challenge censorship in the fulfillment of
their responsibility to provide information and
enlightenment.
IV. Libraries should cooperate with all persons and groups
concerned with resisting abridgment of free expression and
free access to ideas.
V. A person’s right to use a library should not be denied or
abridged because of origin, age, background, or views.
VI. Libraries which make exhibit spaces and meeting rooms
available to the public they serve should make such facilities
available on an equitable basis, regardless of the beliefs or
affiliations of individuals or groups requesting their use.
Adopted June 19, 1939.

THE FREEDOM TO READ
The freedom to read is essential to our democracy. It is continuously under attack. Private groups and
public authorities in various parts of the country are working to remove or limit access to reading
materials, to censor content in schools, to label “controversial” views, to distribute lists of “objectionable”
books or authors, and to purge libraries. These actions apparently rise from a view that our national
tradition of free expression is no longer valid; that censorship and suppression are needed to counter
threats to safety or national security, as well as to avoid the subversion of politics and the corruption of
morals. We, as individuals devoted to reading and as librarians and publishers responsible for
disseminating ideas, wish to assert the public interest in the preservation of the freedom to read.
Most attempts at suppression rest on a denial of the fundamental premise of democracy: that the ordinary
individual, by exercising critical judgment, will select the good and reject the bad. We trust Americans to
recognize propaganda and misinformation, and to make their own decisions about what they read and
believe. We do not believe they are prepared to sacrifice their heritage of a free press in order to be
“protected” against what others think may be bad for them. We believe they still favor free enterprise in
ideas and expression.
These efforts at suppression are related to a larger pattern of pressures being brought against education,
the press, art and images, films, broadcast media, and the Internet. The problem is not only one of actual
censorship. The shadow of fear cast by these pressures leads, we suspect, to an even larger voluntary
curtailment of expression by those who seek to avoid controversy or unwelcome scrutiny by government
officials.
Such pressure toward conformity is perhaps natural to a time of accelerated change. And yet suppression
is never more dangerous than in such a time of social tension. Freedom has given the United States the
elasticity to endure strain. Freedom keeps open the path of novel and creative solutions, and enables
change to come by choice. Every silencing of a heresy, every enforcement of an orthodoxy, diminishes
the toughness and resilience of our society and leaves it the less able to deal with controversy and
difference.
Now as always in our history, reading is among our greatest freedoms. The freedom to read and write is
almost the only means for making generally available ideas or manners of expression that can initially
command only a small audience. The written word is the natural medium for the new idea and the untried
voice from which come the original contributions to social growth. It is essential to the extended
discussion that serious thought requires, and to the accumulation of knowledge and ideas into organized
collections.
We believe that free communication is essential to the preservation of a free society and a creative culture.
We believe that these pressures toward conformity present the danger of limiting the range and variety of
inquiry and expression on which our democracy and our culture depend. We believe that every American
community must jealously guard the freedom to publish and to circulate, in order to preserve its own
freedom to read. We believe that publishers and librarians have a profound responsibility to give validity
to that freedom to read by making it possible for the readers to choose freely from a variety of offerings.
The freedom to read is guaranteed by the Constitution. Those with faith in free people will stand firm on
these constitutional guarantees of essential rights and will exercise the responsibilities that accompany
these rights.
2
We therefore affirm these propositions:
1. It is in the public interest for publishers and librarians to make available the widest diversity of views
and expressions, including those that are unorthodox, unpopular, or considered dangerous by the
majority.
Creative thought is by definition new, and what is new is different. The bearer of every new thought is
a rebel until that idea is refined and tested. Totalitarian systems attempt to maintain themselves in
power by the ruthless suppression of any concept that challenges the established orthodoxy. The
power of a democratic system to adapt to change is vastly strengthened by the freedom of its citizens
to choose widely from among conflicting opinions offered freely to them. To stifle every
nonconformist idea at birth would mark the end of the democratic process. Furthermore, only through
the constant activity of weighing and selecting can the democratic mind attain the strength demanded
by times like these. We need to know not only what we believe but why we believe it.
2. Publishers, librarians, and booksellers do not need to endorse every idea or presentation they make
available. It would conflict with the public interest for them to establish their own political, moral, or
aesthetic views as a standard for determining what should be published or circulated.
Publishers and librarians serve the educational process by helping to make available knowledge and
ideas required for the growth of the mind and the increase of learning. They do not foster education by
imposing as mentors the patterns of their own thought. The people should have the freedom to read
and consider a broader range of ideas than those that may be held by any single librarian or publisher
or government or church. It is wrong that what one can read should be confined to what another thinks
proper.
3. It is contrary to the public interest for publishers or librarians to bar access to writings on the basis of
the personal history or political affiliations of the author.
No art or literature can flourish if it is to be measured by the political views or private lives of its
creators. No society of free people can flourish that draws up lists of writers to whom it will not listen,
whatever they may have to say.
4. There is no place in our society for efforts to coerce the taste of others, to confine adults to the
reading matter deemed suitable for adolescents, or to inhibit the efforts of writers to achieve artistic
expression.
To some, much of modern expression is shocking. But is not much of life itself shocking? We cut off
literature at the source if we prevent writers from dealing with the stuff of life. Parents and teachers
have a responsibility to prepare the young to meet the diversity of experiences in life to which they
will be exposed, as they have a responsibility to help them learn to think critically for themselves.
These are affirmative responsibilities, not to be discharged simply by preventing them from reading
works for which they are not yet prepared. In these matters values differ, and values cannot be
legislated; nor can machinery be devised that will suit the demands of one group without limiting the
freedom of others.
3
5. It is not in the public interest to force a reader to accept the prejudgment of a label characterizing any
expression or its author as subversive or dangerous.
The ideal of labeling presupposes the existence of individuals or groups with wisdom to determine by
authority what is good or bad for others. It presupposes that individuals must be directed in making up
their minds about the ideas they examine. But Americans do not need others to do their thinking for
them.
6. It is the responsibility of publishers and librarians, as guardians of the people’s freedom to read, to
contest encroachments upon that freedom by individuals or groups seeking to impose their own
standards or tastes upon the community at large; and by the government whenever it seeks to reduce
or deny public access to public information.
It is inevitable in the give and take of the democratic process that the political, the moral, or the
aesthetic concepts of an individual or group will occasionally collide with those of another individual
or group. In a free society individuals are free to determine for themselves what they wish to read, and
each group is free to determine what it will recommend to its freely associated members. But no group
has the right to take the law into its own hands, and to impose its own concept of politics or morality
upon other members of a democratic society. Freedom is no freedom if it is accorded only to the
accepted and the inoffensive. Further, democratic societies are more safe, free, and creative when the
free flow of public information is not restricted by governmental prerogative or self-censorship.
7. It is the responsibility of publishers and librarians to give full meaning to the freedom to read by
providing books that enrich the quality and diversity of thought and expression. By the exercise of this
affirmative responsibility, they can demonstrate that the answer to a “bad” book is a good one, the
answer to a “bad” idea is a good one.
The freedom to read is of little consequence when the reader cannot obtain matter fit for that reader’s
purpose. What is needed is not only the absence of restraint, but the positive provision of opportunity
for the people to read the best that has been thought and said. Books are the major channel by which
the intellectual inheritance is handed down, and the principal means of its testing and growth. The
defense of the freedom to read requires of all publishers and librarians the utmost of their faculties,
and deserves of all Americans the fullest of their support.
We state these propositions neither lightly nor as easy generalizations. We here stake out a lofty claim for
the value of the written word. We do so because we believe that it is possessed of enormous variety and
usefulness, worthy of cherishing and keeping free. We realize that the application of these propositions
may mean the dissemination of ideas and manners of expression that are repugnant to many persons. We
do not state these propositions in the comfortable belief that what people read is unimportant. We believe
rather that what people read is deeply important; that ideas can be dangerous; but that the suppression of
ideas is fatal to a democratic society. Freedom itself is a dangerous way of life, but it is ours.

Freedom to View Statement
The FREEDOM TO VIEW, along with the freedom to speak, to hear, and to read, is protected by the
First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. In a free society, there is no place for
censorship of any medium of expression. Therefore these principles are affirmed:
1. To provide the broadest access to film, video, and other audiovisual materials because they are a
means for the communication of ideas. Liberty of circulation is essential to insure the
constitutional guarantees of freedom of expression.
2. To protect the confidentiality of all individuals and institutions using film, video, and other
audiovisual materials.
3. To provide film, video, and other audiovisual materials which represent a diversity of views and
expression. Selection of a work does not constitute or imply agreement with or approval of the
content.
4. To provide a diversity of viewpoints without the constraint of labeling or prejudging film, video, or
other audiovisual materials on the basis of the moral, religious, or political beliefs of the producer
or filmmaker or on the basis of controversial content.
5. To contest vigorously, by all lawful means, every encroachment upon the public's freedom to
view.
This statement was originally drafted by the Freedom to View Committee of the American Film and
Video Association (formerly the Educational Film Library Association) and was adopted by the AFVA
Board of Directors in February 1979. This statement was updated and approved by the AFVA Board
of Directors in 1989.
Code of Ethics of the American Library Association
As members of the American Library Association, we recognize the importance of
codifying and making known to the profession and to the general public the ethical
principles that guide the work of librarians, other professionals providing information
services, library trustees and library staffs.
Ethical dilemmas occur when values are in conflict. The American Library Association
Code of Ethics states the values to which we are committed, and embodies the ethical
responsibilities of the profession in this changing information environment.
We significantly influence or control the selection, organization, preservation, and
dissemination of information. In a political system grounded in an informed citizenry, we
are members of a profession explicitly committed to intellectual freedom and the freedom
of access to information. We have a special obligation to ensure the free flow of
information and ideas to present and future generations.
The principles of this Code are expressed in broad statements to guide ethical decision
making. These statements provide a framework; they cannot and do not dictate conduct to
cover particular situations.
I. We provide the highest level of service to all library users through
appropriate and usefully organized resources; equitable service policies;
equitable access; and accurate, unbiased, and courteous responses to all
requests.
II. We uphold the principles of intellectual freedom and resist all efforts to
censor library resources.
III. We protect each library user's right to privacy and confidentiality with
respect to information sought or received and resources consulted, borrowed,
acquired or transmitted.
IV. We respect intellectual property rights and advocate balance between the
interests of information users and rights holders.
V. We treat co-workers and other colleagues with respect, fairness, and good
faith, and advocate conditions of employment that safeguard the rights and
welfare of all employees of our institutions.
VI. We do not advance private interests at the expense of library users,
colleagues, or our employing institutions.
VII. We distinguish between our personal convictions and professional duties and
do not allow our personal beliefs to interfere with fair representation of the
aims of our institutions or the provision of access to their information
resources.
VIII. We strive for excellence in the profession by maintaining and enhancing our
own knowledge and skills, by encouraging the professional development of
coworkers, and by fostering the aspirations of potential members of the
profession.
Adopted at the 1939 Midwinter Meeting by the ALA Council; amended June 30,
1981; June 28, 1995; and January 22, 2008.
The previous version of this file has long held the incorrect amendment date of
June 28, 1997; the Office for Intellectual Freedom regrets and apologizes for the error.
3.13 Materials Selection Policy:
3.13.1 Books and other library materials shall be chosen for values of interest, information, and
enlightenment of library users. In no case shall materials be excluded because of the
race, sex, age, disability, sexual orientation, nationality or political or religious views of
the person/s responsible for the creation of such material.
3.13.2 There shall be the fullest practicable provision of material presenting all points of view
concerning the issues and problems of our times: international, national and local.
Books and other media of sound factual authority should not be proscribed or removed
because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval. The presence or absence in the collection
of a material does not signify library approval or disapproval of that material or the point/s
of view contained within.
3.13.3 Censorship of materials must be challenged by libraries in maintenance of their
responsibility to provide public information and enlightenment through words and images.
3.13.4 The Muskego Public Library recognizes that some materials may be seen as
controversial, and that any given item may offend some patrons. Sel ection of materials
will not be made on the basis of anticipated approval or disapproval, but solely on the
basis of the principles set forth in this policy. No material shall be judged for exclusion by
taking single passages or portions out of context, a nd basing condemnation of the
material on the same.
3.13.5 The Muskego Public Library Board is in agreement with the attached American Library
Association's Bill of Rights and the Freedom to Read Statement. In addition, selection of
library materials will not be influenced by the possibility that they may come into the
hands of children or young adults, since the responsibility for the monitoring of materials
chosen by minor children lies with the parent/s, legal guardian/s or caregiver/s of those
children, and not with the library or its personnel.
3.13.6 Budgeted funds shall be used to provide an adult materials collection that will meet the
educational, informational, cultural and recreational needs and interests of library users.
The juvenile collection shall provide materials which represent the best available to enrich
young people’s literary and artistic tastes, to satisfy their informational needs, and to
provide recreational reading for all levels of growth.
3.13.7 Books and other media shall be selected by the adults' and children's librarian/s, as
recommended by the use of standard reviewing journals, bibliographies and the services
of professional library consultants, in so far as they are practicable and needed. Ultimate
responsibility for materials selection rests with the library director.
3.13.8 An up-to-date, attractive and currently useful collection shall be maintained through a
continual discarding and replacing process, following recognized guidelines relating to
currency, physical condition, and frequency of use. Discarded items shall be offered to
the Friends of Muskego Public Library for use in their booksale/s.
3.13.9 Interlibrary loan services shall be utilized to provide patrons with technical and limited-
interest materials which do not justify purchase with budgeted funds.
3.13.10 Gifts of money, books and other material will be accepted by the library with the
understanding that the library may do with them as it sees fit. The Library Board reserves
the right to refuse any gift.
3.13.11 Materials to be purchased with gift money will be selected as designated by the donor,
provided such designation is not contrary to the materials selection policy.
3.13.12 The library will not accept for deposit materials which are not outright gifts.
3.13.13 Gift values (for tax purposes) must be established by the donor. A letter acknowledging
receipt of a gift will be given on request of the donor.
3.13.14 It is understood that this materials selection policy covers all forms of media now
available, and any which may become available in the future. These include books,
pamphlets and government documents, serials, periodicals and newspapers, recordings,
audio and videocassettes, films, and any other print, electronic, audio or visual media not
enumerated.
3.13.15 The Muskego Public Library recognizes the importance of non-book materials, both as a
supplement to its book collection, and in its concept of service. Selection criteria for this
media follows the same guidelines as for books. In general, audio-visual materials are to
be evaluated on excellence of interpretation and technique, the importance of the artist,
the technical quality of the material, need based on public request and present holdings,
and budget constraints.
3.14 Requests for Reconsideration of Library Materials: It shall be the policy of the Muskego Public
Library Board that the following procedure be implemented and followed:
3.14.1 Patron questions presence of material in our collection.
3.14.2 Patron must fill out the "REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION" form completely for the
matter to be taken further.
3.14.3 Patron is given copies of the materials selection policy and this written procedure so s/he
can see the steps (and time-frame) involved in the reconsideration process. In this way,
s/he will know there will be a structured follow-up to his/her concern.
3.14.4 The Library Director evaluates the material, gathers reviews and brings the completed
"REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION..." form to the Library Board at the next regularly
scheduled meeting practicable.
3.14.5 Copies of the librarian's written evaluation, her/his reco mmendation for action to be taken
and copies of reviews from standard sources will be given to the Library Board for review.
It is understood that they will wish to re-familiarize themselves with the materials
selection portion of the Library Board policy during this time.
3.14.6 At the next regularly scheduled meeting, having read the policy, the reconsideration
request form, the gathered book reviews and the Library Director's written
recommendation, the Library Board will make a decision, voting to:
3.14.6.1 Leave the material in the collection, or withdraw it from the collection,
solely on the basis of what they have read, or:
3.14.6.2 Appoint a three-member ad hoc committee comprised of Library Board
members to evaluate the material and report on it at the next meeting. Included
in their report will be a recommendation for action.
3.14.7 The full board will vote on the committee's recommendation at the following meeting, and
that vote will be final, either retaining or rejecting the material for/from the collection.
3.14.8 The patron making the original request for reconsideration shall be notified in writing by
the Library Director as to the outcome of the reconsideration process, and will receive
copies of all supporting documentation.
3.14.9 REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION FORM: See policy/procedure book for current form.
3.15 Policy on Requests for Materials NOT Included in the Collection:
3.15.1 The needs of the community as a whole, the limitations of book budget and shelf space
must be weighed against the requests of individuals or groups for extensive coverage of
any one field, or the inclusion of any material that is very expensive or of a highly
specialized nature.
3.15.2 Patrons should be fully informed of the availability of interlibrary loan services, which can
provide the specialized materials which cannot be included in the local library's collection.

TO: LIBRARY BOARD
FROM: PETE LOEFFEL, LIBRARY DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
DATE: OCTOBER 15, 2014
CC:
Attached is a draft Memorandum of Understanding between the Muskego Public Library
and the Friends of the Muskego Public Library. This document, which is based on a
sample from the Association of Library Trustee, Advocates, Friends and Foundations (a
division of the American Library Association), outlines the existing ways the two
organizations mutually benefit each other.
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
The following will constitute an operating agreement between the Friends of the Muskego
Public Library (Friends) and the Muskego Public Library (Library). It will stand until and unless it
is modified by mutual agreement of the Friends executive board and the Muskego Public
Library administration. The Friends mission is to raise money and public awareness in the
community to support the services and programs of the Library. As a non-profit, 501(c)(3)
organization, however, the Friends group is a legally distinct entity and is not a part of the
Library.
The Library agrees to include the Friends in the long-term planning process to ensure that the
Friends are aware of the goals and direction of the Library.
The Library agrees to share with the Friends the Library’s strategic initiatives at the beginning of
