Director’s Report
March 20th, 2018
1. Adult Services Update (from Elke Saylor, Head of Reference and Samantha Quail, Adult
Services Librarian):
The highlight of this month is without any doubt welcoming Michele Hansen aboard. Sam, Jolyn,
Linda and I are delighted to be able to hand off the additional duties we have taken on over the
last five months and see Michele run with them. It is nice to be fully staffed again!
March has turned into a very busy programming month:
AARP TaxAide is consistently preparing free tax returns for between 25-30 people. We are
fully booked through April 10th and are turning away numerous unhappy people every day.
The Retirement Classroom folks are again offering a series of retirement centered
workshops this spring: Awareness and Avoidance of Scams, Getting to Know Medicare,
Planning for Nursing Care and Final Expenses, Understanding Investments, Strategies for
Social Security and Retirement Income, and Estate Planning 101.
Muskego Matinees, our weekly film series geared towards adults, is slowly getting noticed.
Turnout is still very low but we are fielding more questions about it and are hoping for
increasing attendance in the next weeks.
We had great turnout at a presentation about Milwaukee’s Borchert Field (20) and a return
engagement of Gaelic Harper Jeff Pockat (47).
We are hosting a Memory Café this month and are looking forward to listening to harper
Janis Fannon with the attendants while working on coloring sheets and snacking on
cupcakes.
2. Children’s Update (from Abby Bussen, Children’s Librarian):
We have liftoff! February began the tarping off of the children’s area and the start of our new
adventure in using the meeting rooms as our full-time programming space. Though sharing can
sometimes be a challenge, we’re doing our best to keep Meeting Room 4 as flexible as possible
over the next several months while our storytime room gets its many much-needed upgrades.
We also had the opportunity to present some furniture, play, and space enhancements for the
storytime room and the general children’s play space to the Muskego Woman’s Club, who
graciously agreed to donate the funds to equip the space to maximize its use both during and
between programs. The Muskego Lions Club also agreed to provide funding for a SMART Board
in the storytime room, which will provide technological enhancements that benefit all age
groups.
Our day-to-day programming has been chugging along, with weekly storytimes continuing as
usual. Along with the adult services department and the Friends of the Library, we happily
hosted author Kathleen Ernst for a wonderfully entertaining talk about her work with the
American Girl company. We also hosted 4 sessions of SlimeTime, a program that is exactly what
it sounds like – a bunch of kids making slime! Over the course of 4 sessions, we had 199 children
attend, which was truly amazing. Looking into March, we’ll begin our RoboClub program, pick up
with Family Picturebook Brunch, and continue to offer our wonderful storytimes.
3. Young Adult Update (from Amanda Hyland, Young Adult Librarian): The Young Adult Librarian
recently surveyed the teens at the Muskego High School and Baylane Middle School to gain
information about what the teens know about the library and the services it offers. She also
attended Teen Think Tank at Delafield Public Library, in which teen librarians from Waukesha
and Jefferson Counties talked about how they used teens as volunteers for summer
reading. Teen programs for February included a Fortune Cookie Trivia Contest, where teens
answered trivia questions at the Reference Desk to win a piece of candy, and Level Up Gaming
at the Library.
4. Children’s Area Update: Demo and drywall work has begun. The cloud ceiling system should be
installed in the next few weeks. The construction is on schedule, and we have weekly meetings
with the contractor and architect, after which I send weekly email updates to library staff,
George, and Trustees Keil and Borgman. We asked if the contractor anticipated being able to
finish sooner, and they believe they can finish May 24th instead of May 31st which would be
helpful in coordinating the return to the space prior to the start of the summer reading
program. Children (and adults!) are enjoying watching the construction progress through the
windows in the tarp.
5. Other Updates:
a. I am in the process of planning a staff in-service day for Spring 2018 as well as quarterly
progress meetings with the staff to stay on track with the 2018 Action Plan objectives.
b. We are excited to welcome Michele Hansen, who started her position as the
Administrative Services Assistant on March 7th.
c. Heather Ziolecki was hired as the part time Children’s Services Assistant position, and
will start March 19th. We are in the process of hiring for her Library Aide position.
d. Looking Ahead: Election of Library Board Officers and Committees will occur at the May
2018 meeting. In addition, budget discussion with the Strategic Planning Committee
and Library Board for 2019 will occur this summer (June/July).
6. Continuing Education: I have attended several leadership webinars on topics of handling
negative feedback online, having difficult conversations and mental health in the library
profession. I have also completed two site visits of other system libraries to gain insight into
best practices, and met with my system assigned library director mentor for professional
development. I attended a project management workshop Tuesday morning, and have started
an Accounting class through Gale Courses.
7. Employee Anniversaries in March: Jolyn Lobe, Reference Assistant (10 years)
