LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
- November-December, 1985
Well, we've done it! Many thanks to our staff, volunteers, and the Publ ic Works
Department, who worked so hard to get us moved into the new area. Now we are here, with no heat, no carpet where the reference shelves should be, and only a portion of
the collection on shelves, the rest waiting for shelving and/or bracing. Staff is
working on the attached list of projects.
Phyll is, Marla and Linda attended the "Reference Update" held at Waukesha. Presented
by Charles Bunge, retired UW 1 ibrary science professor, this annual workshop gives attendees
a chance to see what's new in reference books.
Linda and Holly attended meetings at Waukesha for the system long-range planning
committee and the RFI committee. Holly has been asked to serve on a 7-member panel which
will evaluate the responses to Waukesha Public Library's Request for Proposal for auto-
mation, Kathy Gosz and Hollywill be keeping the system's welfare in mind while they
help Waukesha select a system. It's an honor to be asked - I think.
We enjoyed a visit of 40 second graders from Thelma Makin's class. They saw a
movie, heard a short presentation by Holly and then descended upon the children's sec-
tion. It was a tight squeeze, and the children were much more interested in the con-
struction than in learning library skills, and who can blame them? We were also asked
to select high-qual ity (literature and art) picture books for Carol Damon's classes to
be using while we are closed, We will be participating in the school system's Reading
Contest, as soon as we re-open.

Pat Bakula, System Children's Services Coordinator, paid a visit to Angie and Holly
to discuss children's activities in 1986. The theme for Summer Reading is 'IStar-
Spangled Summer," and will focus on Halley's Comet, and other "stars" such as Miss Liberty.
Holly attended the first annual Ellen Raskin Symposium, held in Centennial Hall of
Milwaukee Publ ic Library. Ms. Raskin, who died last year, was a native Milwaukeen, winner
of the Newbery Award for The Westing Game. and an outstanding illustrator. The symposium
in her honor gathered authors, publ ishers and illustrators, as well as I ibrarians, teachers
and professors of children's literature to hear lectures by such well known children's
I iterature figures as Alice Provensen and Lorna Bal ian.
Holly's Certification is up for renewal this month. In a city of Muskego's size, the
Library Director must hOld a Grade r certification, which she does. This certification
must be renewed every five years. Credit-hours are earned through attendance at work-
shops, taking courses, publishing, teaching classes, etc. Holly needed 15 credits over
five years, and has earned 83 credits over four years, so there should be no problem
with recertification.
