. LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
May/June 2004
The Summer Reading Program is in full swing, with many activities planned. As
has b.~en the custom, some performers and materials came through library
system membership, but the Friends of the Library have provided the bulk of the
funding. This money has purchased performances, reading folders, posters,
bookmarks, and other promotional items, as well as copies of the books for the
junior high and high school reading groups. These are the "Ravenous Readers,"
and the "Bookworms," and the allotted spaces were filled within a few days. The
"rewards" bag for completing the programs includes free or reduced cost passes
to Discovery World, Wisconsin State parks, the museum, the zoo, the National
Railmad Museum, the Wisconsin State, and Waukesha County fairs, M and W
Children's Theatre, a Wave soccer game, and coupons for Harry W. Schwartz and
Noodlles and Co. 2004 is the Year of Wisconsin Forestry, so the packet also
contains a Smokey the Bear sticker and Activity book. Library staff, children, and
their parents will be hiking state parks on summer weekends, and complete
information is included in the children's area. Panels provided by the Friends are
being used to promote the events, and in addition to the brightly colored
calendars of events, Jane has done a splendid job on the "Kidspace" portion of
the library's Website.
.
A new publication, Waukesha County Magazine, is available free for distribution.
In my opinion, way too much newsprint has been devoted to the subject of the
430 "free" CDs the library is receiving as part of a lawsuit settlement against the
musi(: industry. I stick to what I said on the front page of the SUN: they should
have sent us a check, so we could have bought what we needed. Instead,
because of a computer glitch that has dumped incredible numbers of duplicate
copies of sometimes-obscure recordings on libraries, this has become a massive
boondoggle. Mellanie at WCFLS is setting up a database of the duplicate titles,
and as soon as we get the okay from DL TCL, which is waiting for an attorney
general's opinion (!) we will start swapping among ourselves, and library-system-
to-library system. When you consider that the industry had to pay to ship all of
these items, that libraries need to pay for cataloging and processing time, and for
barccÞdes, security targets, and bibliographic records, and had no say in what
titles would be chosen, this is some "gift."
We diid get some super, and very much appreciated, gifts as well this month.
Nancy Hrin has given us a miniature loom, to be used in a future display. The
Country Meadows kindergarten teachers donated $30 for children's books, in
apprE~ciation of their tours here, and Penny's visits there. The Whitnall Park
Rotary Club gave us $250 to use for the summer library program. The Log Cabin
Quiltf~rs donated several new books for the quilting section, in appreciation of .
their meeting space, and Penny was asked to give a workshop for students at
MA TC:, and donated her $35 honorarium. 8
May Artists were the Oil Paint classes from Park and Rec. Displays this month
include one in honor of the late President, Ronald Reagan.
Muske!go hosted the APL (county library directors) and the WCFLS Board
meetings. Next year's very difficult WCFLS budget was the focus of both
gatherings. State aid will be flat, and the system board is authorizing that much
of the present unexpended fund balance will go toward shared automation. We
will ne'ed to write a grant (not too detailed) to receive the funds, but we should get
about $19,000. We can use it to pay for a portion of our CAFÉ expenses, such as
for future equipment replacement, or authority records' outsourcing.
Our 2005 CAFÉ contract came yesterday. I have a question in to the Mayor about
procedure: Does it need to go to the lawyer again, or can Tadd and I sign it? The
"governance" portion that so worried the lawyer's office has been strengthened
in favor of member libraries.
The mOfing, painting, and other repairs from the water damage have all been
finish<<~d. I am waiting for a few last invoices, and will be submitting the claim to
the insurance company. City hall and maintenance staff members have been
more than helpful. .
We had two more "bathroom" incidents, which were reported to the MPD, but
otherwise patron behavior has been fine. We had falls by patrons two days in a
row, and staff did a good job of filing incident reports with the city. One was a
case of running through the rain and slipping, but the other was tripping on a
raised piece of concrete near the front entrance. Maintenance staff has asked for
the he'lp of public works staff to fix the problem.
Quote of the month: "Reading is, in my experience, one of the most thrilling and
enduring delights of life, equal to a home run, a slam-dunk, or breaking the four-
minut'e mile." [Biographical fiction writer, Irving Stone]
