LIBRARIANS REPORT
FebnlarylMarch. 1999
The gmundbreaking went well, as soon as we found a shovel! Thanks to everyone who
attended. The furniture and shelving bids 'were extremely low. The various options will be
presented to the Finance Committee on April 21" and the Council on the 2Fh.
We knew Phyllis would be retiring this spring, but Rosemary's imminent departure was
somewhat unexpected. She is moving out of the area. Both ladies say they will miss us, and we
certainly will miss them, and wish them thc~ best. Rosemary began here in 1991, and Phyllis has
been with us since 1976. Although their jobs behind-the-scenes have been cross-trained, they
spend lots of time with the public, and will leave a hole in the schedule. With their departure and
the new 19-hour position, we have vacancies to fill beginning May, June, and July 1''
filled. I have also circulated a survey to thse staff asking their input on any changes.

The DLCL is undertaking a revision of the \Yisconsin Public Library Standards. This is good
timing, as WCFLS and APL may be assisting in long-range planning inspired by Act I50 and our
desire to meet with local library boards, and Ray and I thought we might invite him in May or
meetings with municipal administrators on the Crossover problem. Tom Hennen has indicated a

their fair booth.
Penny went to a children's services meeting, and she and Charlene went to the schools to read
