Director’s Report
May, 2016
1. Young Adult update (from Amanda Hyland, Young Adult Librarian): During the
month of April there was one program and one monthly contest for the young
adults. At the DIY Mod Podge program teens used mod podge and decorative
papers to decorate personal picture frames, letters, and trinkets. The monthly
contest was the Puzzling Portraits Contest, in which teens had to identify distorted
pictures of celebrities. Teen Advisory Board met on April 14.
2. Adult Services update (from Elke Saylor, Head of Public Services): May
programs include: two gardening programs that were very popular and well-
attended, a presentation by Mike Rakers from the Police Department about
preventing identity theft, and a program by Chad Lewis about Wisconsin’s
Gangster Past.
3. Children’s update (from Abby Bussen, Children’s Librarian): Abby and Jane have
been busy with regular programming, all of which has been well attended and
garnered much positive feedback.
In the past month we have rolled out a circulating collection of Playaway
Launchpads, secure, pre-loaded learning tablets kids. They have been flying off
the shelves, as have the book bundles Jane has been assembling. A book bundle is
a stack of five Picture Books on a specific topic, e.g. frogs, trucks, fairies, etc.
They are tied together with string and an identifying tag, and allow parents to
quickly pick up a bunch of staff-vetted book on a topic of interest to their little
one.
Abby has been preparing for school visits to promote summer reading and
attended WAPL on May 12, to give a presentation on sensory story times:

Sensory Programs That Make Sense
Want to start offering scheduled sensory opportunities at your library, but
aren't sure where to start? Let Abby Bussen, Children's Librarian, help
build your confidence and know-how in this informative, hands-on
presentation. She'll focus on planning sensory programs for babies,
toddlers and preschoolers as well as for special needs children, giving you
actionable information you can put to use in planning your own one-off or
continuing program, and encouraging you to get your hands a little dirty
with some sensory experiences to enjoy as a group. A veteran sensory
program planner, Bussen has been running monthly sensory playdates for
over a year.
4. National Library Legislative Day: Earlier this month, I attended National Library
Legislative Day in Washington, DC. I attending training at the American Library
Association’s Washington headquarters and briefing sessions regarding the issues
that we would be discussing with Congressional staff. I was part of an eight
person Wisconsin delegation that met with the staff for both Wisconsin Senators
and each of the state’s House Representatives.
5. Friends of the Library Wine Tasting: The Friends of the Muskego Public Library
are holding their annual Wine and Beer Tasting on Saturday, May 14. They will
have ten wine and beer stations, nine food vendors, and three musical groups.
This is the Friends major fundraising effort of the year.
6. Memory Café: On Tuesday 5/17, the Muskego Library hosts its first Memory
Café. A Memory Café is a social gathering for those who are experiencing early
stage dementia, mild memory loss or mild cognitive impairment, and a family
member or care partner. The Café is a place to have fun, find support, and share
experiences.
We are one of four libraries who joined as the Four Points Library Memory
Project, two from Waukesha County (Muskego and New Berlin) and two from
Milwaukee County (Hales Corners and Franklin). Under the guidance of Angela
Meyers from Bridges Library System and the Alzheimer’s Association of
Southeastern Wisconsin, we rotate meetings among the four libraries and
coordinate with each other so that participants have a consistently good
experience.
On Tuesday Dawn Koceja from the Milwaukee Public Museum Spark Program
will take participants on a tour of the streets of Milwaukee in days gone by. The
S73 W16663 Janesville Road Muskego, WI 53150
(262) 971-2100 www.cityofmuskego.org/library
program will be interactive and hands-on, geared specifically towards this
audience.
To attend, people are asked to register with the Alzheimer’s Association.
7. Jammin’ on Janesville: On Saturday June 3, we will again host a number of
community organizations in the Library parking lot for Jammin’ on Janesville.
The Library is bringing back popular DJ Gino to entertain kids of all ages with
hula hoop contests, water balloon tosses and other assorted high jinx. The Friends

sale at bargain prices, and the following organizations will entertain, feed and
engage families:
