Director’s Report
March, 2016
1. Children’s update (from Abby Bussen, Children’s Librarian): Children’s
programming has rolled on at a steady pace throughout the month of March. Our
Read to Rover program began to gain more notice and has enjoyed increased
attendance for both of our wonderful therapy dogs, Jack and Bo. Sweet Eats, our
Wednesday evening kids’ cooking program, proved very successful throughout
March and into April. The program focused on kitchen safety as well as cutting,
measuring, and assembling simple, healthy appetizers, entrees, and desserts.
Preschool programming continued to show great success, with program totals for
storytimes, sing-alongs, and our March sensory program increasing steadily. Our
physical collection got a little more breathing room with the addition of a new
shelf near the DVDs. The youth DVD collection was shifted to create more room,
and holiday DVDs were separated into their own unique section for easier
identification. Our new picturebooks were also moved to this new shelving, which
allowed us to stretch our Easy Readers out, giving that collection more room to
grow as well. Looking forward, we have TECHsplorers beginning April 20,
funded generously by grants from the ALA/Dollar General and the Bridges
Library System, as well as by the Friends of the Library. We’ll also be adding
Playaway Launchpads on the new shelving unit. Launchpads, preloaded tablets
with educational games for multiple preschool and school-age groups, will allow
us to continue diversifying our offerings to our community.
2. Young Adult update (from Amanda Hyland, Young Adult Librarian): During the
month of March teens learned how to create a smartphone projector using a box,
magnifying glass, and paperclip at the DIY Smartphone Projector program. The
monthly contest was a coloring contest which teens were encouraged to submit a
colored in adult level coloring sheet. Teen Advisory Board met on March 10 and
Teen Coloring Club met on March 24.
3. Adult Services update (from Samantha Stark, Adult Librarian): AARP tax
preparation proved to be a very popular program once again this year with 95% of
the available appointment openings being filled. Ceol Cairde returned on Saturday
March 19th to perform some Celtic music in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. The
Lions Club hosted a well-attended concealed carry program on March 29th with
40 attendees.
May will be a busy month, with programs covering a wide range of interests
including gardening, identity theft protection, and a history program on Gangsters
S73 W16663 Janesville Road Muskego, WI 53150
(262) 971-2100 www.cityofmuskego.org/library
in Wisconsin. May will also be the first month a Memory Café is hosted at
Muskego.
4. Building update: City Maintenance Employee George Wolwark has been working
on repairing cracked tile in various locations.
5. Wisconsin Act 169 (from WLA and DPI): Governor Walker signed Senate Bill
466 into law on February 29, and the Act took effect on March 2. Act 169
authorizes libraries to release limited patron information to collection agencies
and law enforcement for the return or payment of unreturned items. The
legislation clarifies how two different Wisconsin statutes work together; one is
about library patron privacy (s.43.30) and the other about theft of library materials
(s.943.61). Some libraries already contracted with collection agencies or
followed municipal ordinances that allowed law enforcement assistance. Other
libraries had been advised by municipal attorneys that they could not. Public
libraries may, if they choose, use the services of collection agencies or local law
enforcement to assist in the recovery of long unreturned books and other library
materials. The bill was developed by the Wisconsin Library Association’s
Development and Legislation Committee in response to requests by libraries
throughout Wisconsin.
6. National Library Legislative Day: I will be part of the Wisconsin delegation in
May for National Library Legislative Day. This is a two-day advocacy event
where hundreds of library supporters, leaders and patrons gather in Washington,
D.C. to meet with their members of Congress to champion national library
funding. Our group has appointments to meet with the offices of both Wisconsin
Senators and the eight Representatives.
7. Friends of the Library Wine Tasting: The Friends of the Muskego Public Library
is holding their annual Wine and Beer Tasting at the Library on Saturday, May 14
from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm. This is their primary fundraising event of the year,
and tickets are available at the check-out desk.

With community as its overarching focus, the Muskego Public Library adopted this Strategic Plan to guide
the Library through its next three years. The plan refocuses Library energies and resources in order to meet
community needs and desires.
The Muskego Public Library Board created a sub-committee called the Strategic Planning Committee to
collaborate with the Library Director and Library staff on this Strategic Plan. The Library Board hired WiLS,
a non-profit organization known for assisting libraries with their strategic planning, to aid in creating this
plan. To achieve our goal, Library staff, the Strategic Planning Committee, and WiLS staff gathered and
assessed data from a variety of sources to determine the Library’s current needs and future direction.
Collected and reviewed comparable data incorporating library usage statistics and annual
report data
Reviewed and assessed the value of current Muskego Public Library services and resources
Gathered input from a community-wide survey garnering 851 responses
Held a half-day plan development meeting with the Strategic Planning Committee, Library staff,
and representatives from the Friends of the Muskego Public Library
Information gathering resulted in a sharp focus on needs, culminating in the selection of three strategic
initiatives, each accompanied by supporting goals.

Strategic Statements
Strategic Narrative
What is the Muskego Public Library’s role in the community?
Libraries increasingly function as community destinations, while continuing to provide access to materials
in a variety of formats as well as programs and services for all ages. The Muskego Public Library now and in
the future, strives to play a vital role as a community gathering place, knowledge enhancer, and safe place
to learn. Strategic planning process results led to identification of three key areas for the Library to focus on
over the life of the strategic plan to enhance our role in the community:
Facility
Services
Communication and Outreach
The Library needs to be inviting and accommodating to patrons of all ages by providing a variety of spaces
for quiet reading and studying, for meetings and group work, and for engaging programming. Public
service desks and staff work areas need to be functional, accessible, and equipped with the technology
necessary to serve the public effectively. One of the cornerstones of an excellent library continues to be a
well-trained, passionate staff, and the Library remains committed to staff development. The Library needs
to be a center for early literacy, and an engaging place for our children. The Library must to provide a
relevant collection in a variety of formats to meet the needs of the community. The Library strives to
ensure the community retains broad awareness of all Library offerings, and collaborates with other
organizations to meet community ideals. As a community stakeholder itself, the Library has been and
always will be a good steward of its resources, and will seek to maximize funding opportunities. To best
serve our community, we must know what our patrons want, adapt accordingly, and inform stakeholders

meet the changing needs of our community and the Library’s evolving role within the framework of our

For this purpose, the Strategic Planning Committee will reconvene in Spring, in advance of the Library
beginning its annual budget planning process.
The Committee will propose targeted objectives for the following year’s action plan allowing the Library
Board to plan accordingly during the budget process.
In Fall, the Director and Library staff will develop a detailed action plan to be reviewed by the Strategic
Planning Committee with strategies and costs needed to implement plan initiatives and goal -related
activities. Initiatives and activities will be prioritized, factoring in available resources and capacities.
As part of the action plan review, the Director and Library staff will determine needed resources, establish
timelines, and identify benchmarks and measurements to monitor the impact on the Library’s metrics for
different plan components.
The Director will communicate progress to the Library Board three times per year to update its members
on the current action plan. Verbal updates will be given at the May and September Board meetings, and an
annual written summary will be presented at the December Board meeting.
