. LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
October/November
While programming for all ages continued this month, clearly the biggest event
was "Murder & Mayhem II," our daylong conference on the art of the mystery story. We
had well over 100 attendees, and they heard from authors and panels of experts on how
novels are published, the work of "Sisters in Crime," the writing process, and the
genesis of plots and characters. Tess Gerritsen, David Morrell, and John Connolly are
nationally known authors. Many of the other speakers have won "best first mystery"
awards. The Friends of the Library made a substantial contribution to meeting the
day's expenses. Other sponsors were Bleak House Books, Mystery One, Crimespree
Magazine, Sisters in Crime, and the authors' publishers. Evaluations were uniformly
positive, and next year's event is already being planned. Penny has been asked to
moderate a panel at the "Love is Murder" conference in Chicago.
Jane and Penny went to a workshop for readers' advisors that featured Nancy
Pearl. She helped the participants identify "appeal characteristics," such as plot,
setting, characters, and language that may link one book or author's work to another.
In this way, it may be easier for librarians to help readers find someone who "writes
like" someone else, or a book "just like" another.
.
Linda and her tech services cohorts are working on providing "book club bags."
These kits contain ten copies of a book, and can be used by book discussion groups.
We are ordering sturdy bags from the company that makes our green realia bags. The
idea started with all of the leftover copies we had of "Waukesha County Reads" books,
but we have also been watching for clean donated copies to make up kits. Presently,
we have nine kits ready to go, including three children's book titles for classroom use,
of thirty copies each.
Wisconsin Public Television has just informed Tina that the library will be hosting
the Wisconsin Korean War Stories photo display in February. The project is meant to
collect, archive, and present the stories of Wisconsin's Korean War veterans.
We received a donation in memory of Alice Struzinski, which will be used to
purchase large print books. Our sympathy goes out to staff member Mary Weber on the
loss of her mother.
Tina and her creative thinkers keep surprising us with their displays. One on
quilting is now up. You may also notice one for "Family Game Nights," which are being
held Thanksgiving week. After families have enjoyed the games, they will be barcoded
and added to the collection for checkout.
.
The city's zoning code changes are being highlighted through the use of maps in
a display near the checkout desk. There are also notices for the public hearing that will
take place within the next few months.
. The writers' group, the book groups, and children's regular programs have
continued. In addition, we had a visit from the Country Meadows kindergarteners.
.
.
We have been asked by the Muskego Sun to write a weekly library column.
Automation news: While using the online catalog, you may have noticed that it is
either very slow, or there are no book covers, summaries, and reviews. That material is
called the "content stream," and it originates with Sirsi, not in our library, or from
Waukesha. Evidently Sirsi is being spammed, the "pipes" are plugged, and the
customers are peeved. CAFÉ has been complaining for some time, but the situation
has only gotten worse, and is only now receiving attention. CAFÉ Cats, Circ and
Council have all met.
We are hoping to be able to offer e-mail notification for overdues and holds next
year.
Quote of the month: "Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and
some few to be chewed and digested. [English author, Francis Bacon, 1561-1626.]
