Director’s Report
November 19th, 2019
1. Adult Services Update (from Elke Saylor, Head of Reference and Samantha Quail, Adult
Services Librarian): October was a busy month for adult services. The library held a month-long
candy drive for Operation Gratitude, which sends care packages to deployed service members,
veterans, wounded soldiers, and first responders. Thanks to huge community support, we
collected over 552 pounds of candy! Our highest-attended program for the month was the
annual antiques appraisal with Mark Moran, which had 40 attendees, most of whom brought in
an item to be appraised. Second highest was a soap making basics program with 24 attendees
led by local business owner Jennifer Widowski. The remainder of November promises more
great programs to come – with our final round of Painting with Tanya series, a "Gnomevember"
themed Crafternoon, memory screenings with the ADRC, and a gentle stretch yoga series lined
up to help patrons relax during the busy holiday season.
2. Children’s Update (from Abby Bussen, Children’s Librarian): Our afternoon and evening
programming started in earnest in October with A.T.L.A.S. (At the Library After School) and
Secret Agent Spy Club entertaining young library users on Thursday and Wednesday evenings
respectively. The biggest highlight of our October was HalloWeek, where we encouraged kids to
dress up all week long to attend fun library events. We did trick-or-treating around the library,
hosted a Witch-Craft night with fun spooky crafts, hosted trick or treating in the library on that
snowing Halloween evening, and capped it off with a Dia de los Muertos themed sensory play
activity. Looking ahead, A.T.L.A.S. will continue through November and we’ll be holding Art
Explorers nights in November and Make+Give gifting events in December along with our usual
slate of activities.
3. Young Adult Update (from Amanda Hyland, Young Adult Librarian): During the month of
October, the Young Adult and Marketing Librarian hosted a Humans VS Zombies Nerf Wars that
26 teens attended and a Disney Villains Trivia Contest. She went to the Wisconsin Library
Association Conference and attended several sessions on topics from fundraising, marketing,
and teen services. She also completed a Gale Course on Marketing Non-Profits. For the month
of November, there is a Find the Gnome Scavenger Hunt in the Teen Area and on November 19
teens can come to the Library and make shrinky dinks.

4. Other Updates:
a. Dates of Note: December 17th Library Board Meeting (will we have a quorum?)
b. 2020 Budget: The City Council approved the Library Board’s requested operating budget
for 2020 with no changes.
c. Mobile App: The Bridges Library System is developing a mobile app so that our patrons
can better interact with their library account on their devices. Brittany is serving on the
System Technology Committee and is part of the RFP process.
d. Bridges Library System Update: Connie Meyer, Bridges Library System Director, will be
retiring in March. A search will begin soon to find her replacement. We are happy for
Connie, and grateful to her contributions to the System. Under her leadership, the
system became a two county system, opening us up to greater collaborations and
expanding our collection.
5. Continuing Education: Elke Saylor, Amanda Hyland, and Abby Bussen attended the Wisconsin
Library Association conference.
6. Employee Anniversaries in November: Abby Bussen, Children’s Librarian (4 years)

Background for Strategic Plan 2020-2023
The strategic planning process for the Muskego Public Library began in November of 2018. I developed
a framework (approved by the Board) that identified stakeholders, a timeline for the process, and
outlined methods for how the community would be able to give feedback. Data collection began in
January of 2019 and ended in October of 2019. Ultimately over 1,400 data points were gathered across
the different feedback methods. Data was then analyzed and viewed in the context of demographic and
trend statistics from identified resource documents. Ultimately, goals and action items were derived
from the data, reviewed by Library Staff and the Library Board Strategic Planning Committee. This draft
is now ready for the Full Library Board review. I am asking that you carefully review the draft before the
meeting and bring with you any questions you may have.
Goal of November 2019 Library Board Meeting: To discuss the draft of the Strategic Plan 2020-2023,
with a plan to ask questions and make suggestions. The goal is to vote on a final draft at the December
Library Board Meeting.
Items to consider in preparation for the November meeting:
Strategic Statements –
o The strategic statements (mission, vision, and values statements on page 5) were not
targeted for revision as part of this process. If this is something the Board would like to
prioritize before the next Strategic Plan, this can be added as an action item to be
completed during this new plan.
Plan Durations –
o Please review the Strategic Narrative on page 6, specifically the paragraph on “Plan
Duration”, as this discusses my recommendation to move from a three year plan to a
four year plan.
Goals –
o The goals for the 2020-2023 Strategic Plan are generally the same with a couple of
exceptions (the Children’s Renovation is removed and the Strategic Planning Process
was added). It was determined these goals were general enough and still relevant.
Action Items –
o Many of the action items are new and came out of the feedback collected from the
community. Some action items have carried through from the previous plan because
the community still values them.
o Similar to the previous Strategic Plan, action items can evolve over time. Additionally,
we should anticipate that new action items will develop to support these main goals as
ideas occur over the life of the plan.
o A few action items are listed with planned dates of 2024/2025. This falls outside of this
Strategic Plan. This was done due to the significance of the project (as a placeholder)
and for logistics planning purposes.
Common Themes
o From these action items, hopefully you will see some common themes our patrons have
prioritized: technology as a vital platform for services/communications, programming as
Page 1 of 26
Discussion: Strategic Plan Draft 2020-2023
Packet Page 50
an important investment, a need to create wider communications coverage, and a need
to maintain and update our facilities.
o From these action items, hopefully you will see common themes that came out of your
focus group: maintaining a strong connection with the amazing school system and
service clubs of Muskego, finding ways to support the local businesses of Muskego,
creating library intersection with community events, finding ways to provide
convenience for our community members, establishing a safe space for teens to study
and visit, work on our branding/awareness efforts, building on events for our adults in
their 20s-30s, and the beginning of exploring ways to establish more “points of
difference”.
Timetables –
o The timetables noted are anticipated dates and subject to change based on budget, staff
time, and other possible projects that may cause re-prioritization.
o In order to recognize the significant logistics planning necessary to execute upcoming
large projects, “logistics planning” action items have been added to the
Ownership/Timeframe Tables. These logistics action items will occur the year before
the planned project is to be executed to ensure effective project management. They
were not detailed in the main section of the Plan.

Introduction
In 2016, the Muskego Public Library adopted the 2017-2019 Strategic Plan with collaboration from the
Library Director, Library Staff, Library Board Strategic Planning Committee, and WiLS (a non-profit
Library organization). The framework developed from this plan identified three focused strategic
initiatives: Facilities, Services, and Communication/Outreach. Given their proven viability, the 2020-2023
Strategic Plan repeats the same framework. The Strategic Plan lists general goals and potential action
items that could help achieve these goals, all derived from patron and staff feedback. Action items are
not necessarily ranked in order of importance, and are subject to change.
Planning Process
The 2020-2023 Strategic Plan was developed through the following timeline:
Development of 2020-2023 Strategic Planning Framework: Fall-Winter 2018
Data collection phase: Winter-Summer 2019
Data analysis and report composition phase: Fall 2019
Planning development meetings with Library Staff and Strategic Planning Committee: Fall 2019
Review of draft by full Library Board: Fall 2019
Approval of 2020-2023 Strategic Plan with full Library Board: Winter 2019
Implementation start date of 2020-2023 Muskego Public Library Strategic Plan: January 1st, 2020
The data collection phase incorporated the following methods:
Community Feedback Survey: 438 respondents. The Community Feedback Survey ran May-
September 2019. It was available in electronic and print form.
Teen Survey: 269 respondents. The Teen Survey was made available at the Muskego High School
in print form during lunch periods.
Interviews and Focus Groups: 23 discussions with 82 respondents. One-on-one interviews were
carried out by the Library Director and targeted a variety of stakeholders. Focus groups were
considered a group of two or more individuals and targeted the general public as well as
focused community groups.
Community Feedback Boards: 250 respondents. Community Feedback Boards posed questions
with visual prompts and were installed in the Library for walk up feedback. Users were able to
vote on their preferences.
Testimonials: 457 respondents. Library patrons were handed form at the service desks and
asked to provide feedback about what they love about the Library.

Strategic Statements
Library Mission Statement: Ideas. Information. Community.
Library Vision: The Muskego Public Library strives to retain its status as a community focal point for idea
exchange, information access, and community gathering. The Library’s collaborative team commits itself
to ensuring availability of superior materials, services, and staff expertise.
Library Commitments & Values: We believe these values will drive our culture, priorities, and
community-focused decisions.
Service to community –We function to serve the needs of a strong and diverse community.
Accessibility –Our materials and services are open and available to a diverse population.
Positive user experience –We strive for patron enrichment through superior library materials
and services, anticipating our patrons’ current and future needs.
Continuous improvement –We never stop looking for ways to innovate and adapt how the
library delivers services to the community.
Director’s Note: The strategic statements were not targeted for revision as part of this strategic planning
process. It is noted that the strategic statements should be reviewed every other strategic phase to
ensure relevance.

Strategic Narrative
Demographic and Trend Analysis
Context is essential when interpreting data. Historical usage and patron perceptions of the library
helped ground the data the plan authors reviewed. Data analysis of key resource documents created the
following observations:
Muskego Public Library patron visits are trending up since 2014. In 2018, the Library enjoyed a
nine year high.
The 2018 circulation of physical materials recorded the highest number since 2009.
Program attendance is trending up. In 2018 Muskego Public Library program visits topped those
of almost a decade ago.
Electronic content usage continues to increase every year.
Surveyed patrons frequent the Muskego Public Library for many reasons. Checking out materials
for entertainment and learning rated the highest.
Surveyed patrons feel strongly that the Muskego Public Library is important, offers valuable
services for children, provides access to needed information, and is effective and promoting
literacy and a love of reading.
Plan Duration
As stated in the Introduction (page 3), the planning and execution phases of the entire strategic planning
process began in Fall 2018 and will end January 1st, 2020. This process included over a year of planning,
data collection, data analysis, and report building. At the end, over 1,400 interactions with community
members were recorded. Because of the length of time necessary to run a strategic planning process,
the onset began only two years after the last strategic planning period. Staff recognized the short
window as too close of a turnaround time for staff efforts, for the age of the data, and for the feedback
fatigue created from persistent inquiry into the community. As a result, the Library Director
recommended that the next strategic plan be a four year plan instead of the previous three year plan to
create adequate spacing and separation. Plan authors conducted a load balance to determine if there
was sufficient strategic initiatives to sustain a four year plan and the results confirmed that a four year
plan would be successful.
Plan Progress
Each year, an Action Plan will be created and approved by the Library Board. It will detail action items
drawn from the strategic plan, with attention paid to balancing funding and staff capacity across the
timeframe. Special prioritization will place time sensitive or high community interest initiatives earlier in
the plan. At the end of each year, the Library Director will report on the status of the annual Action
Plan’s progress.

Strategic Initiative - Facility
In 2019, the Community Feedback Survey reported strong agreement from respondents that the Library
provided clean and appealing facilities and represented a safe, community gathering place. Continual
efforts must be made to manage and care for the building as it is a public space that is so heavily used
(142,000 visitors in 2018). Facilities should be welcoming, well-maintained, and accessible to all, utilizing
good quality resources to achieve these objectives.
The survey asked respondents to prioritize possible improvements to the Library’s physical space.
Updating the Young Adult area received the highest overall priority rating.
Goals and Potential Action Items
Update the Muskego Public Library facility to improve functionality for patrons and staff, by
establishing ongoing maintenance directives for the building’s interior and exterior.

Strategic Initiative – Services
The Muskego Public Library provides a wide variety of services utilized by an equally wide variety of
patrons. Patrons reported their top three service reasons for visiting the Muskego Public Library in the
last six months: checking out materials for entertainment or to learn about a topic, attending a story
time or family programming, and/or asking library staff an information question.

Strategic Initiative – Communications and Outreach
Consistent and widespread communications and outreach remain essential to ensuring awareness of
Muskego Public Library resources and services. The Communication and Marketing Plan is a supporting

Index A: Ownership and Timeframe Tables
Ownership and Timeframe Tables are grouped by the three strategic initiatives of Facilities, Services,
and Communication/Outreach. The tables were meant as a planning tool to help ensure that it was
feasible to run a four year plan based on the feedback and data collected. They are not organized by
goal or in order of importance, but instead by potential year of implementation. The timeframes are
estimates and subject to change based on funding, staff time, feasibility, and other external factors.
