Director's Report
September 20, 2022
1. Reference Update (from Elke Saylor - Head of Reference, Samantha Quail - Adult Services
Librarian, Jolyn Lobe and Laura Boeck, Reference Assistants):
With fall upon us, we have booked a variety of great programs for the next few months:
- On Tuesday 9/14, we welcomed back Lorrie Wetzel, a former scripture professor, to talk about
the biblical stories portrayed in the Sistine Chapel. There has been a lot of buzz for this program,
so we are hoping for a good crowd.
- On October 14, Edward Dzialo will join us from Chicago to address the controversy about his
Massachusetts home town girl Lizzie Borden. If staff excitement about this program is any
indication, it should be a hit!
- On October 11, local Thousand Miler Diana Matthews from the Ice Age Trail Alliance will talk
about the joys of hiking this state treasure — be it for ten miles or the full thousand.
- In October, we are also launching a Coffee & Trivia series in cooperation with Tudor Oaks Home
Care. Every second Monday morning of the month (October through December), Tudor Oaks
staff will offer Trivia fun and refreshments at the Library.
2. Children's Update (from Abby Bussen, Children's Librarian, Courtney Metko and Heather Ziolecki,
Children's Assistants):
Another summer reading challenge successfully under wraps! We had 896 kids register, which is a
4.19% increase over 2021. We hope to see a continued increase as we seek to regain the registrants
we lost contact with during the fully virtual 2020 pandemic summer. Our partnership with Parks and
Recreation through Books at the Beach, Pop Up Playgroups at the Park, and our Performers in the
Park and their Park Passport program got families from Muskego and the surrounding communities
to explore the beautiful landscape of our sprawling city. We were overjoyed to find continued use
for our amphitheater as a storytime space and a viewing area for the fruitful community garden,
which continues to yield a bountiful harvest for the Muskego Food Pantry. Looking to the Fall, we
will resume our normal storytime roundup and add in Block Party, a play -based Thursday morning
program that encourages STEM and SEL play.
3. Young Adult Update (from Amanda Hyland, Young Adult and Marketing Librarian):
The Young Adult Librarian is currently working on setting up technology (Nintendo Switch and Meta
Quest 2 VR equipment) in the Teen Area and is planning some VR programming for teens starting in
`Di
October. She has also been working on recruiting volunteers for the Friends of the Library Mini -Golf
Fundraiser in November. As for December, she will be working with the Adult Librarian to offer a
program for parents/teens to create creating a new seasonal painted board that participants will
have to sand, stain, and stencil. The Young Adult Librarian is still working on the Library Welcome
brochure and is RFID tagging the YA collection.
4. Circulation Update (from Jane Matusinec, Circulation Supervisor):
Get a Library Card Month is in full swing. Patrons getting a library card for the first time are given 2
raffle tickets for chances to win one of four prizes: A telescope; a kid's explorer kit, a pair of
binoculars and bird identification book; or a camp chair and Yeti cup from Wine. To appreciate our
existing cardholders, we are giving them a chance to win as well if they ask us about the app or show
us they already use it. Staff is using September to promote the app to as many patrons as we can.
This promotion runs through September 30.
Circulation has 3 job openings at this time. The window to apply for the two shelver positions just
closed. Jane and Brittany are meeting this week to go through applications. The circulation aide
position will be posted soon. Everyone on staff is pitching in to keep up with the shelving and
processing.
The automated phone notification system is still not working. We have had no updates as to when
it may begin again. At this time, staff personally calls anyone who has chosen "telephone" as their
notification option for when their holds are ready for pick up. We are encouraging everyone who is
able to switch to email or text notifications at this time. Fortunately, we have not had many calls to
make.
5. Other Updates:
a. Dates of Note: The next Board meeting is October 18th, 2022. The Strategic Planning
Committee will meet in October to discuss a draft of the 2023 Action Plan.
b. Friends' of the Library: The Friends' of the Library sold over $599 in the month of
August at their used book sale! The next fundraiser will be the mini golf event in early
November. The Friends' Annual Meeting is September 20' at 7pm (after this month's
Library Board meeting!).
c. Budget Purchase: Per the City purchasing policy (purchases over $50,000 go before
Council), Brittany brought the purchase of the circulation desk before the Council on
9/15 and it was approved. This is the 2022 capital project that the Library Board
approved in 2021 and it is within budget. I have selected the same vendor (LFI) as the
reference desk to maintain consistency of product and design.
d. Building Updates: Brittany is working to coordinate the circulation desk delivery with
the install of the new carpet. We hope this work will take place in November.
13
e. Positive Impact Story: A patron was having trouble reading something in a book. Staff
were able to increase the size of that page on the copy machine so they were able to
finish the book!
f. Other Projects: We have ordered porch chairs and a picnic table for our back -garden
area to give patrons some outdoor seating options. Many of our Library email
communications have been updated to also allow for a text notification now. Staff
email signatures now have a hyperlink leading to our staff contact page to increase
awareness and visibility of other staff email communication options.
6. Employee Anniversaries: Elke Saylor, Head of Reference (10 years), Samantha Quail, Adult Services
Librarian (10 years)
