LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
AprillMay. 2000
AS we complete almost a month in the new facility. we have encountered relatively few "shakedown" problems.
hese have included our first fire alarm, our first ,opened emergency exit, our first calls to the HVAC people,
iversion of water from the air conditioning system, a power outage, a call to the locksmith, etc. Fortunately, 6 annoyances more than anything else. I am readying a package of maintenance agreements to take to the
Finance Committee soon.
We have more light in the reading mm and circ areas now. Coffee carts have been ordered for the meeting
rooms. The power chair arrived, and I am learning to drive. We have been told that the Florida furniture will
arrive in midJune. Our office furniture has mostly arrived at the warehouse, and should be with us soon. The
last meeting mm table has been received. It had arrived damaged, and had to be remade. Most of the small
items on our building "punch list" have been resolved, but the city has several large issues outstanding,
including the completion of our parking lot, which is supposed to happen either Tuesday or Thursday next
week. The staff office copier has come, and it does everything but sing 'Nessun Donna!"
We're watching the newly-implemented policies t.0 see how they work. We may be suggesting modifications in
the months to come. For instance, we have turned away a weight-loss company, a temp service, a door-tc-
door cosmetics concern. and a driving school which wanted to use the meeting rooms. The insertion of the
words 'not for profit" into the meeting room polic:y might make it stronger.
We are still struggling with the proper staffing levels, and placement of workers at each service desk. It
doesn't take a reference librarian's skill to sign people up for computer use, and after almost a month, we can
see why Sussex-Lisbon and Waukesha have stopped doing it. On the other hand, the projects that an Aide
would work on "between customers" aren't always portable. We may be asking for eventual re-wording of the
computer-use eligibility requirements. Now the policy requires a Muskego Public Library card. Because the
computers have been available, staff has not felt it right to turn away out-of-towners who want to check their e-
mail, or users from other communities, as we will have to do if computer use becomes more heavy. w tandards proposed by the Act 150 Committee.

We received a globe for the children's section from the Women of the Moose, and a $100 donation to the trust
Treba. I've sent thank-you notes for the opening llestivity flowers, cake, flag, flagpole and monument,
reception refreshments, and the banner. I also sont a word picture of the event and the new building to the
three couples who accepted the city's (lower) offer for their land.
In addition to the day-tday, and the long-range planning we hope to begin, I have several projects in hand. I
will need to have a budget to you soon. Job descliptions are being re-written, and, when completed, Will need
to be presented to the board. Even though staff pay is not tied to performance, I am hoping to begin informal
