THE MUSKEGÙ PUBUC',:.RY
Muskego Wisconsin
12-5-61
TO 1'"HE MUSKEGO rcíWNGOAl1D
~_. ... "--=",,.~._""_.=--
This is the usual mid=year report of the Muskego Public Libr;uy Board concerrrl ng
the activities of the Public Libr~ry.
The Llbr@ry is now lodged in the l~,~r level of the Town H~llo We have found the
quarters very satisfying", As you know, members of the Board donned old clothes 4liOO
wielded paint brushes to make the Lib~ what we ~onsider to be one of the most
attractive publi~ rooms in the Town of Muskego. There was $ome skep'ticism eoneern=
1ng the adaptability of this sp8(:;e in the Town Hall for Libr~ry purposes. We ean
tell you now that this ~s grcundlesso
Separating the Publi~ Library from the s~hool libr~TY h~s been ~ forward step
from the st8ndpoint of both libTaries~
As of November 30, 1961 the library hâS circulated 19,686 books. This ~overs the
period from June, 1960 through Nowember, 1961. We are circulating roughly 1,000 books
a month. The figures for the last three months lü'e 940 for September; 1225 for
October; and 1243 for November .~.. a steady increase. There are 1388card holders.
Our book holdings number in excess of 1995 books.. Broken down, we have 1614 books
fully processed and on the shel"Jes~ We hðve 381 books in the category of paperbilcks,
ren~a1 books, etc. whi~h ;are only partly pro~essed. The rental books are returned
from time to time Clnd the paperbacks have ~ short life. Thl!'frefore, the expense of
complete eataloging is eliminated.
Among our permanent collection of books not as yet e~töloged are a set of ComptonsU
Encyclopedia, Blue Books dating b~ck to 1940, the Wis~onsln St~tutes önd many, m~ny
books from various donors that have not 8S yet been sorted.. The number in this l~tter
group we are un~ble to say, but would guess that there are several hundred of them.
The Lib!'ary staff includes three people. MI's" PelEnaoo, Head Librarian; Mrs. Yahr,
who 1$ in the library when Mrs. Pel~ann is not; and Mrs. Lindhorst, ~lerks All of
these people are part time..
ThE! hours of Library ser-viee have been intireased from ') hours per week to 12 hours
per week. There are now three evenings pe:r week when the libx-axy is open" 1'uezd@ìy,
Wednesday ~nd Thursd~y from 6~30 p~m. to 9:30 p.m$ and S~tu~dsy afternoon from l~OO p.m.
to 4300 p..nh
Mâgaz1nes ~nd n~W5p~pers ~re ~lso ~ p~rt of our ~e~ding se~viGe this ye~ru
The LibrJItIY has been most fo)r'{,u~te in 2'(~!;eiving gifts. the Em~y~lopedbJ ÐrHiijinnirë~
was received from the New~omeI's ~ Club; $1 ::::."Û, 00 W'ã$ l'ecei 'fed f:rcm the Wom~n!l s of
Muskego for Juvenille books; ~ny of the Blue BOi)K.S we;['e given 'to us by Mr. C~~rnecld;
we .re to re~elve some L~boj;~ books; Itnd we ,flJ;'e ~lw;j\Ys ~~ei:<ðl ng 91 fts from the peQple
of Muskego who h~ve the $uc~ess of ihe LUn.'~'r'y ã\'t heart~
A fairly subst~nti~l ~unt in ou~' budget went into furnit~~e ~nd equipment~ Shelves~
. dehumidifier, a mag~zine r~ck~ t~bles and ~h~irs, ~ di~tion~~y stand; drapes; ~
chlil'ge=out desk to mention a good share of it.. We (tffe~ted .~ substantlíJl saving by
having the eharge=out desk made loc~~~~ther th~n pur~ha$e one from ~ m8nuf~~turer.

Referring to .:>ux llI$t ~n!1ual report '.'rhe:i:'eir: we spoke l'About pl~ns for this yesu',
we have made slow, but steady pI'og!'e5ß in five:"y a:rea, except perhaps the are~ of
Eereren~e mate~ial~ We need to incre~se thi$ ~on~ide~ably during the cawing ye~r~
By :reference matex:h,l, we do not. ~;i.!I'.ply tf:ri:Ui eiì~y~lopeclia!1 but x<!ither book:; and
other reading matter of a reference natuxe~
We can and do use the Travelling Lib~a~y supplied by the Free Library Commdssion
in Madison to secure spacial material upon request. Here, howevsz, time is impor-
tant. A person needing the material immediately tqust necessarily be disappointed
since there is time needed to order and receive su~;:h material..
The LibrU'J Board and our Librarian are well pleased with the progress being
made In the Library.. we reel that the Libxary has been an execellent addition to
the services available in Muskego. There is a very great potential in ",",skego for
increased Library USG. We say this in view of the fact that we are ree_lving
increased requests for material we do not have immediately available.
The schools are teaching and hðve taught oUJ.' children a.tïd adults to read. It is
one of the functions of the Library to a$~d$t. by providing interesting material for
them to widen their reading horizons..
