LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
September/October
St. Joseph's fifth graders came to visit, and Penny was a guest at Hales Corners Elementary.
Their PTO donated $100 to put towards children's books.
The Friends helped to sponsor a visit by children's and young adult author Anna Myers. She
spoke and worked with students at Denoon Middle School.
Art-in-a-Suitcase peñormer, Mary Tooley will take kids on an African Adventure on October 27th
from 10:00-11:00-a "no school today" program, and sponsored by the Friends.
We received $225 from WCFlS to put toward a future children's program.
Former Sun writer, Vi Joy, has been donating historical Muskego clippings and other materials.
We have been adding them to the Muskego vertical file. We are also weeding the general pamphlet files,
as much of that information is outdated and is now easily found on the Internet. We hope to use the
recovered space to expand files on Muskego, Waukesha County and Wisconsin.
Chad lewis's "haunted Wisconsin" program was well received, with some fifty people in
attendance. Tina did an atmospheric display, complete with antique furniture and a hovering ghost.
"Sky guy" has been re-dressed in a deerstalker to publicize Murder and Mayhem. Over fifty people
have pre=registered. Check out the display-also "Apples," and "Spooky Reads." There is a group of
tall-tale "stovepipe" figures in the children's area as well, and lobby art by Wisconsin Turp 'N Stein.
People have been coming in to tape segments for the "Muskego Memory Project."
We received a $43 dollar gift from former staff member Melissa Matz to honor her parents' 43rd
anniversary. Ann and Dennis have been long-time members of Murder by the Book, so we will buy some
mysteries and place gift plates in them to honor the occasion.
All book and writers' groups are back in session, as well as baby, lapsit, and preschool
storyhours.
Computer classes have begun, and I hear Paula is "a natural." On November 3rd we will also host
a computer class aimed at seniors with hearing loss. In addition, some of our reference staff members
were able to attend a workshop on serving the deaf and hard-of-hearing. Both of these activities involved
a trained speech pathologist, and were made possible through WCFlS grant funds. Two more computer
workshops are planned for the New Year.
'
Working with Connie Carter, Dan Stoehr and his family are planning a dedication ceremony for the
Don Carter Memorial. Depending on the date they choose, Jane may be standing in for me, due to some
family constraints. As soon as I have a firm date, I will let the library board and the Friends' boards know,
as well as "noticing" the event, and inviting city government.
Between November 1st and 18th we will be collecting new and gently used children's and young
adult books for Reader to Reader, who will use them for school libraries affected by poverty or natural
disaster. This will tie in with Children's Book Week (November 12-18).
During "National Games Week" (the Monday and Tuesday of Thanksgiving week) many board (i.e.
non-electronicl) games will be available at the library for families to play.
The Wine & Cheese event planning will begin in December. As soon as I have a date, I will send a
notice to both boards.
. Thursday evening, December 21, has been set as the date for our 5th annual "Holiday Musicale."
Everyone is welcome to attend, as a viewer, or a peñormer.
Automation news: Beginning next year, the State of Wisconsin is going to be using the same
vendor for the WISCAT catalog and for handling interlibrary loan requests. Staff training is being held,
and system staff will be helping with any transition problems.
There continue to be "Sirsi issues" with the latest library program software release, and since the
first rule of deployment is "do no harm," CAFÉ is waiting for the patches to be available before loading
the upgrade. The platform will change from the "C client" to the "Java client," and that is on the test
server now. This year the ISBN number, the International Standard Book Number, very important in
identifying and ordering specific items, is changing from 10 to 13 digits, and that change is being
implemented in the library program as well. Remember Y2K?
Intersystem cooperation: As part of its 25th anniversary celebration, WCFLS has invited author,
reviewer, and model for the librarian action figure, Nancy Pearl, to speak at the November 8th Trustee
Dinner. The publicity poster contains the tag line, "one lusty librarian," which refers to her Book Lust,
and More Book Lust, featuring "recommended reading for every mood, moment, and reason."
The revised version of Himmel & Wilson's Library Governance Options Report has been received,
and the deliverables subcommittee plans to present it to the full WCCC October 30th. The preliminary
conclusion in a nutshell is that the consolidation option would have constituents paying more and getting
less. Once the final report is accepted, the Act 150 Committee will reconvene to discuss outstanding
issues, such as form of governance, local autonomy, the library-building moratorium, and a response to
any Himmel & Wilson recommendations.
. A subcommittee of APL has been formed to explore issues raised by Act 420, recent legislation
that would affect payment for cross-county use.
Library directors will be meeting next month with a representative from DTLCL, the state library
agency, who will review the revised annual report form.
Quote of the month: "To read a book for the first time is to make an acquaintance with a new
friend; to read it for a second time is to meet an old one." [Anonymous, Chinese saying]
