LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
July/August 2004
The shared catalog continues to amaze us. One day last week we had over eighty items come in
the van delivery. Some of them were titles our patrons had requested. Others were our items that
had been used by other libraries' patrons, and were being returned. For the month of July, over
1,300 items were shipped or received between Muskego and the other three CAFÉ members, in
addition to regular interlibrary loan.
Several "annual events" have been concluded. The budget was submitted, the annual resolution
certifying eligibility for exemption from the county tax was passed, and the applications for
meeting room renewal were mailed. Over fifty groups meet regularly at the library. Thanks to
Elaine, who handles the mailing, and to Mary who schedules the rooms. LB members received
copies of the letter concerning provision of AARP tax preparation service here. I do not know
how AARP Wisconsin will handle our request, and the individual concerned may contact you. I
regretted having to write such a letter, but I believe the supporting documentation speaks for
itself.
There is an informational display on the topic of bullying. If you haven't seen the wonderful
"Lewis & Clark" display, please stop in. Tina is the creative soul who dreams up these visual
treats.
The duplicate CDs are ready for swapping. Charlene will be going to Waukesha, list in hand, next
Monday. The way I see it, even if we don't get every title we think might be useful, someone in
CAFÉ will add it to their collection, and with the shared catalog, what one library owns, we all can
access.
. The county executive's veto of the "capital costs" initiative, and the lack of support by Muskego's
two county supervisors, was disappointing. This was especially sad because citizen committee
members-as well as political and library types-had recommended this action to make funding
libraries a tax burden everyone bears, regardless of residence. The recent MJS article about a
foundation proposal was somewhat misleading. The idea-which is still being investigated-has
been in discussion for a few months, and did not grow out of the veto, but out of the need for
libraries to find alternative sources of funding, if they are to keep up with increasing demand for
services, new material formats, etc. Since Muskego already has a library trust fund, and a Friends
organization with 501 (c) (3) status, I will be bringing the final proposal to the LB, where we can
look carefully at it to see "what's in it for us."
We are writing a grant to receive $19,000 from WCFLS to help with the costs of shared
automation. Since the increase in cost from the 2004 CAFÉ contract to that of 2005 is for items
such as future hardware replacement, and outsourcing of authority control, I am hoping we can
use the funds to pay for those two items, every year, until the amount has been spent. "Authority
control" is the process of bringing all of the author and subject headings into compliance with
cataloging standards, and won't be done until all fourteen libraries have entered the system.
Since our original cataloging records came from a variety of sources-not all of them standard-
this is a necessary part of cleaning up the shared catalog. Once done, all libraries would be
adding new headings from the same authority, so that the catalog should be able to be
maintained cleanly. As a catalog user, you will notice an improvement in searching. For example,
there will be only one form of an author's name, so you have only one search to make.
Summer reading groups have concluded. Both Bookworms and Ravenous Readers were filled,
with 21 students each. This year's Bookworms chose House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer as
the best book of the summer. Ravenous Readers' choice for best book was Mister Mondav from
the "Keys to the Kingdom" series. Plans are underway to resume all book groups in September,
and a flier highlighting both teen groups, plus the two adult groups, is in preparation. The Friends .
of the Library purchase all of the teen books, as gifts to the participants. We use a combination of
interlibrary loan and self-purchase for the adult groups, B.A.R.S., the "Browsing and Reading
Society," and "Murder By the Book."
.
The Friends will also be funding the expansion of the on-line "Chapter-A-Day" from five book
clubs to eleven. Presently, we have 181 members registered, and in July, the clubs saw 3,620
hits. A press release recently went out, and it and the library Website will be updated when the
new clubs are installed. The complete list is: Fiction, Nonfiction, Horror, Mystery, Teen, Good
News, Romance, Business, Audio, Science Fiction, and Pre-Publication.
We are awaiting the arrival of additional shelving for paperbacks-also a Friends' gift. When it is
installed, we will get 140% more paperback space. The three blue-and-cream shelving units that
we bought in 1986 for $100 each will be sold or offered free-for-the-hauling, unless some other
city department wants them. Penny has said she can use one in her area, which will free up some
badly needed book trucks.
Penny assembled a packet of material for new teachers, as part of the Chamber of Commerce's
"Welcome to New Teachers" initiative.
New LB officers were listed in the SUN.
We have asked that the Muskego Police Department make the library a regular stop as time
allows, once school is in session.
The training we were given via a Gates' grant, was excellent. Twelve staff members came in at 7
A.M. to learn more about Excel, and nine hardy souls came in the next week at the same time-
one wearing her jammies-to explore PowerPoint. The instructor, Marilyn Kemp from MA TC, had
even the novices doing slide shows. We have just been told that Gates funding will also be
available next year. .
We received another $35.00 honorarium from MA TC for a class Penny taught there.
$667 was deposited to the library system account as a result of the computer sale.
Former LB member Don Carter will have a book out by the end of the year, Under the Tree Called
Gbendeh, about his experiences as a boy in Sierra Leone. He has also sold an article to the
magazine "Good Old Days," about an encounter with Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert.
I will be on vacation September 8-14 and 23-29.
Quote of the month: "Libraries are the warehouses of great ideas. Thank you for being there to
make the opinions of thinkers available." [Walter Mosley, creator of the "Easy Rawlins" PI series,
at the last ALA convention]
