Interlibrary Cooperation
July-August 2005
.any things have been happening on the library system level:
The addition of six libraries to CAFÉ went quite smoothly, thanks to much patience and cooperation. Our Linda
Brown was one of the trainers. The seventh library, Pewaukee, will become active when their new building opens
next month. They are in the process of packing and moving.
Tom Hennen will make a presentation to the County Finance Committee on October 5th regarding the library
options study. Pending availability of funds, the study bid will be awarded to Himmel allld Wilson, a firm with
Wisconsin roots. They have done extensive work in library planning, including authoring one of the standard
works on planning and goal setting for libraries. Tom applied for an IMLS grant to help fund the study, and
awards should be announced in September.
The Act 150 Committee is in the process of being appointed. We have just heard that Póaul Kantor will chair.
We have received a walker for patron use as part of a WCFLS grant. It will be put near the scooter as soon as the
press release is received.
The system is applying for a number of LSTA grants next year. One would help Menomonee Falls library join
CAFÉ. Others concern early literacy and service to seniors, in addition to the technol091Y grants mentioned at last
month's meeting.
Several library bills are in various stages at the state legislature. Two are looked upon with favor by the library
community, and two are opposed. S8 272 and 273, the "reform" and "language" bills, make a number of
clarifications to library law. Importantly to Muskego, they stipulate that 70% of the actUiil cost of cross-border
borrowing by residents of non-library communities (e.g. Norwa.y and Wind Lake) would have to be paid. That is
.re than we receive now under the contract with Lakeshores"
Another bill, A8 483, would repeal MaE, the "maintenance of effort" clause. That's the rule saying public libraries
cannot be cut to below the average of the last three years' funding. The library community feels that to continue
the regional cooperation that lawmakers favor, all players need to avoid stagnation or wild fluctuations in
funding. One library's failure to support its local service will result in library users goin!;J elsewhere.
S8 258 would prohibit libraries from loaning "R-rated" videos to minors. Many libraries already have provisions
in place to deal with this, the age of "minor" is unclear, but does not march with the statutory age of majority.
Somehow child and teen users' cards would have to be coded. Each video is to be labeled with its MPAA rating.
This is an unfunded mandate, and also an attack on local control. In addition, it puts librarians in loco parentis-
exactly what many policies try to prevent.
.
LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
July-August 2005
The summer program concluded with a peñormance by the "Truly Remarkable Loon." Winners of prizes for the .
adult summer program were drawn.
Writing workshops are continuing, and programming is being prepared for the fall. Sonne of it is the usual, and
others, like the "Mystery & Mayhem Saturday," is new.
Jane attended a system database workshop meeting, and Penny went to a workshop for services to older adults.
August is a month that some "annual" things get done, such as the sprinkler system testing, the mailing of
meeting room registration packets, and getting ready for the start of school. The reference desk staff has been
meeting to review problems we have been having with the public access computers. DlUe to the tireless work of
the city's IS Department staff, many of these have been solved, but the reference desk workers have been the butt
of much patron frustration. When the statewide network is down, computer drives are ()ut of order, or the library
catalog is experiencing problems, we would fix them instantly if we could. Unfortunately such fixing is not within
our power.
The 4-H has the lobby display cases this month. The desperate housewives display continues to provide humor
and showcase numerous materials for patrons. The back to school display is loaded wiith some great stuff on
how to help your child in school. The new graphic novel collection is on the four-sided unit near the YA area.
End cap displays were recently changed to reflect newer materials on planning family rElUnions, quilting, AIDS
(highlighting the upcoming AIDS WALK) and new biographies. Upcoming displays will 'feature "Banned Books,"
and publicize the writers' workshops.
A new electronic resource is available off of the library's Webpage. "What Do I Read Next?" will help readers find
another "good book."
On Mondays and Tuesdays, the library is serving as a drop-off site for fresh produce. OIn Wednesday mornings it .
will be taken to the New Berlin-Muskego Food Pantry.
A small article appeared in the Sun about the library board and its newly elected officers.
We received a gift copy of the booklet "Storm Water Basics: Using Natural Landscaping for Water Quality and
Esthetics," from the author, Muskego resident, Dr. JoAnn Gillespie.
We received a check for $800 from the sale of Pizza-Burgers at Sentry.
The parents of the late Suzanne Lee Olsen, R.N. donated money to be put toward the purchase of health and
medical books in their daughter's memory.
Quote of the month: "The only important thing in a book is the~ meaning it has for you." [Writer, Somerset
Maugham]
