. LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
June/July 2006
Two excellent pieces on the library and its staff appeared in local papers this past
month. One was Sun writer Belinda Ricco's appreciation of library displays, and their
creator, Tina Weiss. The other was Laurel Walker's column in the Journal Sentinel
about the Muskego Memory Project. This is the cooperative oral history project being
developed by library staff member Jane Genzel, and jointly funded by the Friends of the
Library and the Muskego Historical Society. It is hoped that raconteurs can purchase
copies of their oral histories, and that we can archive them at the library.
This month the lobby cases feature the work of Scott Holdmann of "Unique
Perspectives," who does charcoal and pastel portraits of family pets from photos
provided by their owners.
Animal stories, songs, and appearances by "Fox and Branch," "The Creepy
Crawly Zoo," and others have enlivened the library this month, as we're hip-deep in the
summer reading program, "Paws, Claws, Scales and Tales." Each week a critter is
featured in a display. Catch Tina's fearsome spider, which looms over the entrance to
the children's section. A far less threatening creature is the hedgehog, which has been
visiting storyhour this summer.
. The kids have been having great fun with the contests we've been running all
summer, such as, "How many pounds of bird seed are in the bottle?" Penny reports:
"We had 779 guesses starting at 2 pounds and going up. My favorites are 57,374,926;
1,000,006; 1,000,000,000; 7,000,000,756 and a Gazillion! One future engineer even had
calculations on the back of the slip. Unfortunately, the calculations involved gallons,
quarts, pounds and inches (measuring the bottle), plus a diagram. We did have a tie.
Two kids guessed 28.5 pounds. The actual weight was 29.2. We will award both
winning guesses with a bag of goodies (left over prizes from previous years). There
were very few repeat names on the guess slips."
The reading program for adults has also begun, and will feature a visit by
Wisconsin author Kris Radish on August 24th at 7 P.M.
The next Heirlooms Roadshow is September 9, from Noon-4:00.
On Saturday, August 26, WCFLS will be holding a listening session for state
legislators at our library from 10:00-11 :30 A.M.
In addition to the regular summer YA book group, Informal book discussions
have been a feature of the "Teen Hot Spot" in the library. We've done bulk loans of
popular young adult titles, so several people can read the same book. Circulation
among these has been brisk. .
Some groups have taken a summer break, but the Civil War Book Group and the
writers group are still meeting.

Monthly Comment Summary
MUSKEGO PUBLIC LIBRARY
July-August 2006
COMMENTS:
Had a call from former board member Margaret Purser
complimenting our library service-especially as compared with her
present community in Utah.
Thanks to Margot, Tina, and the rest of the staff who have helped
adult student returning for advanced degree. She has appreciated
interloan services, and help with technology.
COLLECTION:
Buy the last in the "Among the Hidden" series. [on order]
Videos on school bus safety and home/electricity safety. [Have
some; will look for more, but nothing listed on B+T 7/28/06]
Books on "peachtree," an accounting software. [only WK had 1;
ordered 1, but 2004 was most recent available]
INCIDENTS:
Reported to John LaTour 7/31: In June the cleaning crew reported
finding one empty beer bottle in the men's room at the library. Last
Thursday night, Tom Treba reported finding an empty beer can in the men's
room, and also smelling beer in there the preceding night. This morning
the cleaning crew found a mostly-empty bottle of Southern Comfort in the
feminine product waste disposal unit in the women's bathroom. I have the
bottle, though I don't imagine anything can be done to catch the culpritl
We can hardly put security cameras in the stalls. Some libraries make
people sign out keys to use the bathrooms, but I'd like to consider that a
very last resort. I just thought I'd better put this on record, in case we are
witnessing the beginning of a new problem.
Very busy August day, with all computers in use, and "California
Man" meets his match-a lady who didn't care that his peace and quiet was
being invaded by her noisy kids-and told him so. Apparently much more
effective than the staff asking him to "make nicel"
