Director's Report February 21st, 2023 1. Reference Update (from Elke Saylor - Head of Reference, Samantha Quail - Adult Services Librarian, Jolyn Lobe and Laura Boeck, Reference Assistants): Last Saturday, we held our second annual Friends fundraiser "Love Trains? Love the Library" which was a great crowd pleaser. Old and young streamed in all day long to see the model train table set up by the Milwaukee Lionel Railroad Club and relished making the trains move and blowing the train whistle. Along the way to the trains, the Friends' bake sale was a huge hit and a few used books, DVDs and art pieces found new homes as well. We had two sessions morning sessions of Lego Club too, so the Library was a very busy place with many happy faces. At the beginning of the month, Sam facilitated a virtual Calligraphy class that amazingly attracted 128 people from all over the country (30 of them were from Muskego). We are not sure how this happened, but we will take the win. Coming up in the next few weeks: - Nerf Wars for adults - Two local authors will be talking about their new books - The Wisconsin Bureau of Consumer Protection will educate parents on how to protect their children on the Internet - Several programs about brain health and coping with stress - AND, on March 29, the "Gaelic Harper" returns with a heart-warming mixture of Celtic stories and music for all ages 2. Children's Update (from Abby Bussen, Children's Librarian, Courtney Metko and Heather Ziolecki, Children's Assistants): January is always an eventful month for the kids' department. After we pull together all of our previous year's annual programming statistics, we jump right back into making sure our summer reading performers are all booked and lined up. It may seem bananas to think about summer this early, but contacting and establishing performance contracts with our summer reading entertainers early allows the in-house kids' staff to focus on filling the rest of the schedule with storytimes for ages birth to 5, plus educational and recreational programming for school -aged children. It also allows us to start work on all of our marketing, school promotional materials, reading tracking booklets, and virtual Beanstack tracking challenges so all those are printed and ready well before we start school visits to hype kids up for all the exciting events. We do all of this, of course, while still continuing to host weekly storytimes and after -school programming, to purchase and catalog books, to perform our scheduled reference shifts, to plan for other upcoming spring programs, and to take care of the myriad other duties that make up our very full days. This year, I'm particularly proud of the hustle the kids' staff and I put into our usual January planning frenzy. The spring and summer planning groundwork that we have laid has the kids' department ready to run like clockwork through the end of summer reading in August 2023, a boon that will be greatly appreciated, I hope, by not only Courtney, Heather and the rest of the MPL staff, but by whoever is selected to replace me as children's librarian. I have so loved my 7 years here in Muskego, where I have been lucky enough to grow as a librarian and develop my skills alongside thousands of kids and fellow educators. The memories I have made, both with the families in this beautiful, expanding community and with my dedicated coworkers, will stay with me for a very long time. I'm deeply proud of the program I've built here and profoundly grateful to all the people who have believed in me enough to help me build it. Thank you all :) My last day, February 24, will certainly be bittersweet, as any transition is, for both myself and for my library friends. Considering how often I bump into library friends "in the wild," I hope this is just a "goodbye for now" for the patrons and coworkers I cherish. Anyhoo, so long for now and in the words of Garrison Keillor, "Be well, do good work, and keep in touch." 3. Young Adult Update (from Amanda Hyland, Young Adult and Marketing Librarian): In January, during semester exam week the Library provided snacks for teens studying in the library. Teens were grateful and appreciated the sentiment. For February there is a Hershey Kiss Scavenger Hunt in the Library for the teens. The Young Adult Librarian is starting to work on programs and materials for the Teen Summer Reading Program and is still working on updating the communication and marketing plan with the director. 4. Circulation Update (from Jane Matusinec, Circulation Supervisor): The circulation staff is busy moving into their brand-new desk! We are living with our new space and writing down our observations of what is working well and what we might want to adjust. There is still lots to be organized. At this time, we are using lots of carts for re -shelving items as the carpet project is not complete in the corner where we would normally be shelving. We are doing our best to get the job done while being short staffed by 2 people at present. Applications for circulation aide are being accepted through Friday morning, Feb. 17. Interviews will be scheduled ASAP. 5. Other Updates: a. Dates of Note: The next full Library Board meeting is March 21st. March 3rd is the next Friends 1st Friday Coffee Group if you are interested in attending. b. Friends' of the Library: The Friends' recently collaborated with the staff to offer a fundraiser paired with the library program on trains. Around $400 was raised! The Friend are planning a Culver's fundraising night in the Fall and continued plans for the Garden Walk take shape. The Friends of the Library book sale had a record high $887 raised for the month of January! c. Building Updates: The circulation desk and carpeting project is (mostly!) complete. The company needed to order more carpet and there is a punch list of items to be completed by the desk company. This was a large task from the design phase to implementation, and I commend the hard work of Jane Matusinec in the design of the desk and the staff for working through the temporary set up. Jake in IT and George in Maintenance also assisted with the technology and cabling which was much appreciated. Work continues on the development of bidding documents for the 2023 capital projects (family restroom and study room expansion). d. Other Projects: Early February was spent collecting data and creating the state annual report. On February 8th Brittany traveled to Madison for Library Legislative Day to speak with state senators and representatives and their aides about library system funding. A first draft of the marketing plan has been created, built off of library system work group Amanda and Brittany have been participating in. Brittany's conference proposal was accepted at the state public library conference and she will be presenting to her peers in April on the topic of strategic planning frameworks. Brittany brought in Officer Kreger from the Muskego Police Department to give staff a training on Fentanyl awareness for response and awareness tools as employees who work in a public building. e. Strategic Planning: Brittany continues to work with the two staff work groups tasked with developing the visual survey boards and focus groups/one-on-one interviews. Once some foundational work is completed this work will be presented to the Strategic Planning Committee for further refinement before deployment. The current goal is to meet in late March or April once the capital projects are set up. One other possible data element of the Strategic Plan was the employee engagement survey. The Library Board requested I follow up with the City in case there were already plans at the city level to do this. I followed up with the Mayor and there are plans to do this after the City onboards a new Human Resources employee and for consistency among city departments it was recommended to wait for this city-wide survey. f. Positive Impact Report: A patron stopped by the library with their child to donate $100 to the Friends' of the Library for our "Library Lovers Month" fundraiser. They said how important the library was to their family and their children. As a note, in 2022 the children's department offered 399 programs with 11,466 attendees. We are thrilled to make an impact for that generous family and many others! 6. Employee Anniversaries: Laurie Krueger - Library Aide (23 years), Jane Matusinec — Circulation Supervisor (10 years), Amanda Hyland - Teen Librarian (10 years) 7. Board Education: One of the databases our patrons highly value at the Muskego Library is access to the online version of Consumer Reports!

Collection development is the ongoing process of assessing materials available for purchase or licensing and making decisions on their inclusion and retention. The Board of Trustees of the Muskego Public Library has adopted the following collection development policy to guide librarians and to inform the public of the principles upon which collection development and management decisions are based. The Vision and Mission Statements of the Muskego Public Library guide the allocation of resources and selection of materials. Vision: The Muskego Public Library is the focal point of the community for exchanging ideas, accessing information, and developing community. Its collaborative team is committed to superior materials, services, and staff expertise. Mission: Providing an innovative community space for learning, entertainment, and for the exchange of ideas and accurate information through a wide variety of materials and programs. The following statements and policies have been adopted by the Library and are used as guidelines for the development of the Library collections. The Library endorses the American Library Association's "Library Bill of Rights." "Freedom to Read," "Freedom to View," and "Code of Ethics." Responsibility For Selection Responsibility for the selection of materials lies with library staff designated by the Library Director, operating within the policies of the Library Board. Physical materials held by the library are selected and maintained by professional librarians who use experience, judgment, subject -area expertise, data, and reviews. Other staff members and the patrons with an up-to-date library card valid at the Muskego Public Library may suggest materials for consideration. See the reference desk for details. Patrons have access to the collections of the library system's member libraries, as well as a nationwide interlibrary loan system. Patrons are not restricted in their requests based on content or age, and all items from within the system will be available for pickup on the open holds shelf. Digital materials are provided through state or system wide collections, or bundled products, to which the Muskego Public Library contributes funds. The Muskego Public Library has no direct control over this selection, other than to recommend titles. Guidelines For Selection • Selection decisions are guided by the merits of the work as a whole, collection needs, and interests of a diverse community. • Selection decisions are not influenced by the possibility that material may be accessible to children. The Muskego Public Library supports the right of each individual to decide what is appropriate for themselves and/or their children, therefore the Library makes any and all resources available to all library users regardless of age. • The Library acknowledges an interest in local, county, and state history and government. The Library will add to its collection works with local connections that meet the policy objectives. • The Library selects materials of varying complexity and format because it serves a public made up of a wide range of ages, educational backgrounds, sensory preferences, and reading skills. • The Library recognizes that materials may be controversial. A balanced collection attempts to represent a variety of perspectives, to entertain, educate, and expand the whole person and the whole community. A balanced collection is not defined as an equality of numbers but of representation. The selection of material does not constitute an endorsement by the Library. • The selectors must consider each type of material in terms of its own merits. No single standard can apply to acquisition decisions and the criteria below are guidelines and do not replace the judgement of library professionals. Some materials may be selected primarily for artistic merit, scholarship or value to humanity, while others may be chosen to satisfy the recreational and entertainment needs for the community. • To build a collection of merit and significance, selectors acquire materials according to objective guidelines. They evaluate acquisitions, whether purchased or donated to the library, primarily by examining reviews in one or more of the professional library review media and checking against the criteria listed below. Selection Criteria o Appropriateness and effectiveness of the medium to the content o Attention of critics, reviewers, and the public o Comprehensiveness and depth of treatment o Consideration of the work as a whole o Cost and availability o Expertise/authority, significance, or demand of the author, illustrator, or work o Importance as a document of the times o Present and potential relevance to community needs o Relation to the existing collection and to other material on the subject o Representation of diverse points of view o Representation of important movements, genres, or trends o Suitability of physical form for intended audience o Suitability of style for intended audience Donations and Gifts Donations of materials in good physical condition are gratefully accepted with the understanding that the Library may add them if they meet the established selection guidelines. Gifts added to the collection must be available for public use. All donated items become property of the Library, and will not be returned to the donor. There is no obligation for the Library to retain ownership of the item. Materials not added to the collection will be given to the Friends of the Library Book Sale or disposed of by other means. The Library cannot place a monetary value on gifts for tax purposes, but receipts are provided upon request. Monetary gifts are always welcome and may be designated as memorials. When monetary gifts are intended for the purchase of materials, library staff will make the determination of what titles to buy, using the same criteria as for all other purchases. Ordinarily gifts of non -library items such as paintings, portraits or art objects will not be accepted. If accepted, the items become the property of the Library, and will not be returned to the donor. There is no obligation for the Library to retain ownership of the item. Evaluation and Withdrawal of Materials An attractive and up-to-date collection is maintained through continual discarding and replacing. Materials may be withdrawn from the library collection after careful consideration of these factors: • Currency of information or content • Lack of use • Obsolete format • Physical condition • Space needs • Superseded by a new edition or better work on the same subject Although every effort will be made to replace needed materials which are withdrawn, the Library takes the position that it is better to have no information on a subject than to have materials which are inaccurate or in poor physical condition. Materials withdrawn from the collection may be given to the Friends of the Library Book Sale or disposed of by other means. Items that are being withdrawn will not be saved for specific individuals. Request for Reconsideration The Library does not promote beliefs or views. It does provide information from a variety of points of view so that an individual can examine issues freely and make their own decisions. The selection of library materials is predicated on the individual's right to read and their freedom from censorship by others. The Library holds that censorship is purely an individual matter and declares that, while anyone is free to reject materials of which they do not approve, they cannot restrict the freedom of others to have access to them. The Library welcomes comments and criticisms of its collection. The Library will reconsider a material in its collection upon written request of a patron with an up-to-date library card valid at the Muskego Public Library who fulfills the following steps: 1. When a patron questions the appropriateness of a library material, they should be referred to a manager or the librarian in charge of collection development for the area where the material resides. The staff member will discuss the concerns with the patron. The relevant parts of the Collection Development Policy that apply may be explained. 2. If the patron wants to pursue the reconsideration, the patron will pick up a copy of the Muskego Public Library Collection Development Policy at the Reference Desk or access it onlinewhich includes a copy of the Request for Reconsideration Form. 3. The completed reconsideration form must be submitted to the Library Director. Use one form per item. The Library Director will notify the patron in writing, confirming the request has been received within one week of their receipt. 4. The Library Director will appoint a staff committee to review the item. The committee will make a recommendation to the Library Director within four weeks of receiving the initial request. S. Within one week of receiving the staff recommendation, the Library Director will decide whether or not the item should be retained and will notify the patron in writing. 6. The patron may appeal the Library Director's decision by submitting a written request to the Library Board President for a hearing before the Library Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting. This request must be submitted within 60 days of receipt of the Director's decision. If a hearing is granted, the individual will be notified when they may address the Board. To allow staff sufficient time to respond to this appeal and prepare the agenda, appeals received less than seven days before that month's meeting may be postponed to the next month's meeting. The Library Board reserves the right to limit the length of the presentation and number of speakers at the hearing per the Public Comments at Library Board Meetings Policy. 7. The Board will determine whether the request for reconsideration has been handled in accordance with stated policies and procedures of the Muskego Public Library. On the basis of this determination, the Board may vote to uphold or override the decision of the Director. As a non -partisan, quasi -governmental body, the Board cannot base its determination on personal views or because the materials or their author/creator may be viewed as controversial or objectionable. Items are selected based on the whole of their work and will be judged on the whole of their work, not on an isolated passage or section. 8. The Library Board's decision is final. Repeated or redundant requests by an individual or a group to reconsider materials with differing titles but similar content will be referred to the Library Director and restricted as follows: If the Library Director concludes a request may be redundant, he/she will notify the complainant(s) that the item(s) in question, having already undergone a thorough review and reconsideration process in the last five years and will not be reevaluated.

I. Books and other library resources should be provided for the interest, information, and enlightenment of all people of the community the library serves. Materials should not be excluded because of the origin, background, or views of those contributing to their creation. II. Libraries should provide materials and information presenting all points of view on current and historical issues. Materials should not be proscribed or removed because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval. III. Libraries should challenge censorship in the fulfillment of their responsibility to provide information and enlightenment. IV. Libraries should cooperate with all persons and groups concerned with resisting abridgment of free expression and free access to ideas. V. A person's right to use a library should not be denied or abridged because of origin, age, background, or views. VI. Libraries which make exhibit spaces and meeting rooms available to the public they serve should make such facilities available on an equitable basis, regardless of the beliefs or affiliations of individuals or groups requesting their use. VI I. All people, regardless of origin, age, background, or views, possess a right to privacy and confidentiality in their library use. Libraries should advocate for, educate about, and protect people's privacy, safeguarding all library use data, including personally identifiable information. Adopted June 19, 1939, by the ALA Council; amended October 14, 1944; June 18, 1948; February 2, 1961; June 27, 1967; January 23, 1980; January 29, 2019. Inclusion of "age" reaffirmed January 23, 1996. Although the Articles of the Library Bill of Rights are unambiguous statements of basic principles that should govern the service of all libraries, questions do arise concerning application of these principles to specific library practices. See the documents designated by the Intellectual Freedom Committee as Interpretations of the Library Bill of Rights (http://www.ala.org/advocacy/intfreedom/librarybill/interpretations). https://www.ala.org/advocacy/intfreedom/librarybill 1 /1 12/14/22, 2:10 PM The Freedom to Read Statement I Advocacy, Legislation & Issues The Freedom to Read Statement The freedom to read is essential to our democracy. It is continuously under attack. Private groups and public authorities in various parts of the country are working to remove or limit access to reading materials, to censor content in schools, to label "controversial" views, to distribute lists of 'objectionable" books or authors, and to purge libraries. These actions apparently rise from a view that our national tradition of free expression is no longer valid; that censorship and suppression are needed to counter threats to safety or national security, as well as to avoid the subversion of politics and the corruption of morals. We, as individuals devoted to reading and as librarians and publishers responsible for disseminating ideas, wish to assert the public interest in the preservation of the freedom to read. Most attempts at suppression rest on a denial of the fundamental premise of democracy: that the ordinary individual, by exercising critical judgment, will select the good and reject the bad. We trust Americans to recognize propaganda and misinformation, and to make their own decisions about what they read and believe. We do not believe they are prepared to sacrifice their heritage of a free press in order to be "protected" against what others think may be bad for them. We believe they still favor free enterprise in ideas and expression. These efforts at suppression are related to a larger pattern of pressures being brought against education, the press, art and images, films, broadcast media, and the Internet. The problem is not only one of actual censorship. The shadow of fear cast by these pressures leads, we suspect, to an even larger voluntary curtailment of expression by those who seek to avoid controversy or unwelcome scrutiny by government officials. Such pressure toward conformity is perhaps natural to a time of accelerated change. And yet suppression is never more dangerous than in such a time of social tension. Freedom has given the United States the elasticity to endure strain. Freedom keeps open the path of novel and creative solutions, and enables change to come by choice. Every silencing of a heresy, every enforcement of an orthodoxy, diminishes the toughness and resilience of our society and leaves it the less able to deal with controversy and difference. Now as always in our history, reading is among our greatest freedoms. The freedom to read and write is almost the only means for making generally available ideas or manners of expression that can initially command only a small audience. The written word is the natural medium for the new idea and the untried voice from which come the original contributions to social growth. It is essential to the extended discussion that serious thought requires, and to the accumulation of knowledge and ideas into organized collections. We believe that free communication is essential to the preservation of a free society and a creative culture. We believe that these pressures toward conformity present the danger of limiting the range and variety of inquiry and expression on which our democracy and our culture depend. We believe that every American community must jealously guard the freedom to publish and to circulate, in order to preserve its own freedom to read. We believe that publishers and librarians have a profound responsibility to give validity to that freedom to read by making it possible for the readers to choose freely from a variety of offerings. The freedom to read is guaranteed by the Constitution. Those with faith in free people will stand firm on these constitutional guarantees of essential rights and will exercise the responsibilities that accompany these rights. We therefore affirm these propositions: https://www.ala.org/advocacy/intfreedom/freedomreadstatement 1 /4 12/14/22, 2:10 PM The Freedom to Read Statement I Advocacy, Legislation & Issues 1. It is in the public interest for publishers and librarians to make available the widest diversity of views and expressions, including those that are unorthodox, unpopular, or considered dangerous by the majority. Creative thought is by definition new, and what is new is different. The bearer of every new thought is a rebel until that idea is refined and tested. Totalitarian systems attempt to maintain themselves in power by the ruthless suppression of any concept that challenges the established orthodoxy. The power of a democratic system to adapt to change is vastly strengthened by the freedom of its citizens to choose widely from among conflicting opinions offered freely to them. To stifle every nonconformist idea at birth would mark the end of the democratic process. Furthermore, only through the constant activity of weighing and selecting can the democratic mind attain the strength demanded by times like these. We need to know not only what we believe but why we believe it. 2. Publishers, librarians, and booksellers do not need to endorse every idea or presentation they make available. It would conflict with the public interest for them to establish their own political, moral, or aesthetic views as a standard for determining what should be published or circulated. Publishers and librarians serve the educational process by helping to make available knowledge and ideas required for the growth of the mind and the increase of learning. They do not foster education by imposing as mentors the patterns of their own thought. The people should have the freedom to read and consider a broader range of ideas than those that may be held by any single librarian or publisher or government or church. It is wrong that what one can read should be confined to what another thinks proper. 3. It is contrary to the public interest for publishers or librarians to bar access to writings on the basis of the personal history or political affiliations of the author. No art or literature can flourish if it is to be measured by the political views or private lives of its creators. No society of free people can flourish that draws up lists of writers to whom it will not listen, whatever they may have to say. 4. There is no place in our society for efforts to coerce the taste of others, to confine adults to the reading matter deemed suitable for adolescents, or to inhibit the efforts of writers to achieve artistic expression. To some, much of modern expression is shocking. But is not much of life itself shocking? We cut off literature at the source if we prevent writers from dealing with the stuff of life. Parents and teachers have a responsibility to prepare the young to meet the diversity of experiences in life to which they will be exposed, as they have a responsibility to help them learn to think critically for themselves. These are affirmative responsibilities, not to be discharged simply by preventing them from reading works for which they are not yet prepared. In these matters values differ, and values cannot be legislated; nor can machinery be devised that will suit the demands of one group without limiting the freedom of others. 5. It is not in the public interest to force a reader to accept the prejudgment of a label characterizing any expression or its author as subversive or dangerous. https://www.ala.org/advocacy/intfreedom/freedomreadstatement 2/4 12/14/22, 2:10 PM The Freedom to Read Statement I Advocacy, Legislation & Issues The ideal of labeling presupposes the existence of individuals or groups with wisdom to determine by authority what is good or bad for others. It presupposes that individuals must be directed in making up their minds about the ideas they examine. But Americans do not need others to do their thinking for them. 6. It is the responsibility of publishers and librarians, as guardians of the people's freedom to read, to contest encroachments upon that freedom by individuals or groups seeking to impose their own standards or tastes upon the community at large; and by the government whenever it seeks to reduce or deny public access to public information. It is inevitable in the give and take of the democratic process that the political, the moral, or the aesthetic concepts of an individual or group will occasionally collide with those of another individual or group. In a free society individuals are free to determine for themselves what they wish to read, and each group is free to determine what it will recommend to its freely associated members. But no group has the right to take the law into its own hands, and to impose its own concept of politics or morality upon other members of a democratic society. Freedom is no freedom if it is accorded only to the accepted and the inoffensive. Further, democratic societies are more safe, free, and creative when the free flow of public information is not restricted by governmental prerogative or self - censorship. 7. It is the responsibility of publishers and librarians to give full meaning to the freedom to read by providing books that enrich the quality and diversity of thought and expression. By the exercise of this affirmative responsibility, they can demonstrate that the answer to a "bad" book is a good one, the answer to a "bad" idea is a good one. The freedom to read is of little consequence when the reader cannot obtain matter fit for that reader's purpose. What is needed is not only the absence of restraint, but the positive provision of opportunity for the people to read the best that has been thought and said. Books are the major channel by which the intellectual inheritance is handed down, and the principal means of its testing and growth. The defense of the freedom to read requires of all publishers and librarians the utmost of their faculties, and deserves of all Americans the fullest of their support. We state these propositions neither lightly nor as easy generalizations. We here stake out a lofty claim for the value of the written word. We do so because we believe that it is possessed of enormous variety and usefulness, worthy of cherishing and keeping free. We realize that the application of these propositions may mean the dissemination of ideas and manners of expression that are repugnant to many persons. We do not state these propositions in the comfortable belief that what people read is unimportant. We believe rather that what people read is deeply important; that ideas can be dangerous; but that the suppression of ideas is fatal to a democratic society. Freedom itself is a dangerous way of life, but it is ours.

In a free society, there is no place for censorship of any medium of expression. Therefore these principles are affirmed: 1. To provide the broadest access to film, video, and other audiovisual materials because they are a means for the communication of ideas. Liberty of circulation is essential to insure the constitutional guarantee of freedom of expression. 2. To protect the confidentiality of all individuals and institutions using film, video, and other audiovisual materials. 3. To provide film, video, and other audiovisual materials which represent a diversity of views and expression. Selection of a work does not constitute or imply agreement with or approval of the content. 4. To provide a diversity of viewpoints without the constraint of labeling or prejudging film, video, or other audiovisual materials on the basis of the moral, religious, or political beliefs of the producer or filmmaker or on the basis of controversial content. 5. To contest vigorously, by all lawful means, every encroachment upon the public's freedom to view. This statement was originally drafted by the Freedom to View Committee of the American Film and Video Association (formerly the Educational Film Library Association) and was adopted by the AFVA Board of Directors in February 1979.

The Code of Ethics is the document that translates the values of intellectual freedom that define the profession of librarianship into broad principles that may be used by individual members of that profession as well as by others employed in a library as a framework for dealing with situations involving ethical conflicts. • Copyright: An Interpretation of the Code of Ethics (http://www.ala.org/tools/ethics/copyright) (amended January 29, 2019) • Conflicts of Interest Q&A (http://www.ala.org/tools/ethics/conflictsofinterestqa) (amended April 30, 2019) • Enforcement of the Code of Ethics Q&A (http://www.ala.org/tools/ethics/enforcementqa) (amended January 28, 2019) • Ethics and Social Media Q&A (http://www.ala.org/tools/ethics/socialmediaqa) (amended January 28, 2019) • Speech in the Workplace Q&A (http://www.ala.org/tools/ethics/workplacespeechqa) (amended April 30, 2019) Code of Ethics As members of the American Library Association, we recognize the importance of codifying and making known to the profession and to the general public the ethical principles that guide the work of librarians, other professionals providing information services, library trustees and library staffs. Ethical dilemmas occur when values are in conflict. The American Library Association Code of Ethics states the values to which we are committed, and embodies the ethical responsibilities of the profession in this changing information environment. We significantly influence or control the selection, organization, preservation, and dissemination of information. In a political system grounded in an informed citizenry, we are members of a profession explicitly committed to intellectual freedom and the freedom of access to information. We have a special obligation to ensure the free flow of information and ideas to present and future generations. The principles of this Code are expressed in broad statements to guide ethical decision making. These statements provide a framework; they cannot and do not dictate conduct to cover particular situations. 1. We provide the highest level of service to all library users through appropriate and usefully organized resources; equitable service policies; equitable access; and accurate, unbiased, and courteous responses to all requests. 2. We uphold the principles of intellectual freedom and resist all efforts to censor library resources. 3. We protect each library user's right to privacy and confidentiality with respect to information sought or received and resources consulted, borrowed, acquired or transmitted. 4. We respect intellectual property rights and advocate balance between the interests of information users and rights holders. https://www.ala.org/tools/ethics 1 /2 12/14/22, 2:18 PM Professional Ethics i Tools, Publications & Resources 5. We treat co-workers and other colleagues with respect, fairness, and good faith, and advocate conditions of employment that safeguard the rights and welfare of all employees of our institutions. 6. We do not advance private interests at the expense of library users, colleagues, or our employing institutions. 7. We distinguish between our personal convictions and professional duties and do not allow our personal beliefs to interfere with fair representation of the aims of our institutions or the provision of access to their information resources. 8. We strive for excellence in the profession by maintaining and enhancing our own knowledge and skills, by encouraging the professional development of co-workers, and by fostering the aspirations of potential members of the profession. 9. We affirm the inherent dignity and rights of every person. We work to recognize and dismantle systemic and individual biases; to confront inequity and oppression; to enhance diversity and inclusion; and to advance racial and social justice in our libraries, communities, profession, and associations through awareness, advocacy, education, collaboration, services, and allocation of resources and spaces.

To help aid in seeing the full context of how these policies work to support each other and provide guardrails and account management for guardians, I have provided a brief overview below as well as the full-length policies after. These policies will be formally reviewed by the Library Board in the next round of policy updates. 1. Safe Child Policy: Which dictates age restrictions for being in the building and selecting/checking items out. 2. Eligibility for Library Card Policy: Which dictates parental consent for minors obtaining a library card. 3. Library Card Usage Policy: Which dictates parental roles in monitoring a minor's card usage and borrowing privilege termination. 4. Privacy Policy: Reinforces the ability for parents to monitor library records of minors according to WI State Statute 43.30. S. LibraryMission Statement: Which guides the role of the public library. Safe Child Policy The Muskego Public Library Board of Trustees dedicates itself to providing a safe and welcoming environment for patrons of all ages by setting policies to promote safety within the building. A caregiver is defined in this policy as a parent, legal guardian, or responsible person twelve years of age or older, who provides direct care for a younger child. Staff members will always respond with care and concern, but responsibility for the welfare of children using the Library ultimately rests with the caregiver. Staff members cannot and will not assume responsibility for unattended children. Children eight years of age and older may use the Library unattended. However, the child must have contact information to be able to reach a caregiver immediately if need arises. Children under the age of eight must be accompanied by a caregiver while in the Library. When children under the age of eight attend a Library program their caregivers are required to remain in the Library. All children are expected to use the Library appropriately. Children who do not follow the Library's Code of Conduct are subject to the same consequences as other Library users, including being required to leave the Library. Children who are frequently unable to use the Library appropriately may be required to be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Staff may, as needed: • Notify caregivers whose children need additional supervision. • Contact authorities such as the City of Muskego Police Department either to assist with the enforcement of discipline in the Library or to ensure the safety of an unattended child. • Notify appropriate personnel if a child is deemed truant. Staff will undertake reasonable efforts to ensure children leave the Library safely at closing time. If any children remain at the Library after closing, staff will attempt to contact the caregiver. If the party cannot be reached, or fails to arrange to pick up the child within a short, reasonable amount of time, law enforcement personnel will be contacted for advice and assistance. Eligibility for Library Card Policy As a member of the Bridges Library System, the Muskego Public Library serves all residents of Waukesha and Jefferson Counties. There is no age or skill requirement for obtaining a library card. Any Wisconsin resident may apply for a free library card after presenting a valid picture ID and proof of current residence. Children under eighteen must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian presenting a valid picture ID and proof of current residence. A business which owns or rents space in the City of Muskego may apply for a business card by submitting a letter written on the company's letterhead requesting a library card for company use and stating that the company will assume responsibility for all library materials charged against the business card. The letter must bear the signature of a least one responsible company official. Library Card Usage Policy Use of library card A library card should be presented each time materials are borrowed. This ensures the integrity of library records and speeds up the checkout process. The Library will make an exception if a library customer presents a valid picture ID. Each person, with the exception of minors, is responsible for all items checked out on their card. They agree to obey all of the rules and regulations of the Muskego Public Library and any other CAFE member libraries which they use, and to promptly pay all fines and charges. Parents or legal guardians shall be responsible for all items checked out on a minor's card. Overdue and reminder notices Overdue and reminder notices are sent are sent as a courtesy. Failure to receive a notice does not remove the user's responsibility for any overdue material or fines. Change of Address It is the customer's responsibility to let the Library know when the customer changes their mailing address, telephone number or email address so they may be contacted regarding information about their library account. A customer who does not receive a Library notice because they have not notified the Library of any changes will be held responsible for any resulting fines or bills. Lost and stolen cards If a library card is lost or stolen, it is the cardholder's responsibility to report that to the library. All items checked out prior to the date the card is reported lost or stolen are the responsibility of the customer. Library staff will assume anyone who uses a card for borrowing materials has permission to use that card; cardholders should treat library cards as they would credit cards. Parental responsibility for minor's use of card Items checked out on a minor's card are the responsibility of the parent or legal guardian. Parents or guardians agree to obey all of the rules and regulations of the Library, to promptly pay all fines and charges associated with their child's card, and to report any change of address, telephone number or email address to the Library. The Library does not restrict access to any material by age, and leaves the responsibility for children's use of its materials to each child's parent or legal guardian. Parents are strongly encouraged to monitor their own child's use of the Library and its materials. A parent or guardian who wishes to end borrowing privileges for their child must notify the Library so that the registration record can be removed. Destruction of a library card does not remove a registration record. Wisconsin state law governs the information about a minor's library records that may be given to a parent or legal guardian. Privacy Policy Privacy Statement Protecting library user privacy and keeping confidential information that identifies individuals or associates individuals with their use of library books, materials, equipment, programs, services, facilities, and/or staff assistance is an important principle of the Library. This policy affirms the Library's commitment to privacy, explains the information that the Library collects, and alerts visitors to Library facilities and users of remotely accessed Library services of the privacy choices available to them. Definition of Terms Right to Privacy is the right to open inquiry without having the subject of one's interest examined or scrutinized by others. Confidentiality exists when a Library is in possession of personally identifiable information about users and keeps that information private on their behalf. Personally identifiable information is information such as name, library card number, e-mail or mailing address, telephone number, or any financial information relating to a patron and his or her accounts. Legal Protections and Exceptions Wisconsin law has strong protections in place to assist the library in keeping records confidential. In certain circumstances, Library records may be subject to disclosure to law enforcement officials under provisions of state law or federal law under the provisions of the USA Patriot Act (Public Law 107-56). In accordance with the USA Patriot Act, public libraries must allow an immediate search and possible seizure of equipment or information if presented with a FBI National Security Letter or Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Warrant. Staff members are provided training in handling requests from law enforcement. The staff procedure is attached to this policy. The relevant Wisconsin laws concerning the confidentiality of library records are Wisconsin Statutes Section 43.30 and the Wisconsin Personal Information Practices Act (Sections 19.62 to 19.80). Library records include any record of use of library materials, resources, or services. Wis. State Statute 43.30 requires that library records may only be disclosed under the following circumstances: 1. With the consent of the individual library user. 2. To a custodial parent or legal guardian of a juvenile under 16 years of age. 3. By court order. 4. Upon the request of a law enforcement officer who is investigating criminal conduct alleged to have occurred at the library. In this instance, the library shall disclose all records pertinent to the alleged criminal conduct that were produced by a surveillance device under the control of the library. To persons acting within the scope of their duties in the administration of the library or library system. To other libraries for interlibrary loan purposes in accordance with the standards set forth in Wisconsin Statute Sections 43.30(2) and (3). Library Records The Library avoids creating unnecessary records and retaining records longer than needed for library business purposes. 1. To receive a library card, library users are required to provide identifying information such as name, birth date, picture ID, and physical as well as mailing address (if different). The identifying information is retained, as long as the library user continues to use the library card. In most cases the information will be in the database for a maximum of three years after the person stops using the library card at which time the record is deleted. 2. A library user's circulation record includes current identifying information, items currently checked out' or on hold, as well as overdue materials and fines. 3. Ninety days after an item is returned, the Library System removes the information regarding the last patron to check it out which deletes the patron from the item history log. If the item had associated fines, the fine transactions are saved. 4. The Library may also gather information necessary to provide a requested service to a library user including but not limited to the following examples: ❖ Records of electronic access information such as the library card or guest pass number used to log onto library public computers or search a library database ❖ Records for interlibrary loan requests or reference services ❖ Records needed to sign up for or participate in library classes and programs ❖ Records for use of meeting rooms ❖ Records for receiving emails and/or text messages about library services and programs Once there is no longer a need for the information, personally identifying records are destroyed. Emails sent to Library staff may be subject to open records requirements. 5. The Library treats records as confidential in accordance with Wisconsin State Statute (43.30). The Library will not collect or retain private and personally identifiable information without the person's consent. If consent to provide personally identifiable information is given, the Library will keep it confidential and will not sell, license or disclose it to any third party, except for purposes described by the law. Access to Accounts and Patron Responsibility Protecting a Patron Account It is the patron's responsibility to notify the Library immediately if a library card is lost or stolen or if he or she believes someone is using the card or card number without permission. The Library recommends these precautions: • Log off systems after use • Don't share the library card, user IDs, or passwords • Select passwords which are easy to remember, but difficult for others to guess by including a mixture of numbers, symbols, and/or upper and lowercase letters Keeping Account Information Up -To -Date A patron may access his/her personally identifiable information held by the Library and is responsible for keeping the information accurate and up-to-date. The purpose of accessing and updating personally identifiable information is to ensure that library operations can function properly. A patron may view or update his/her personal information in person. He or she may be asked to provide some sort of verification or identification card to ensure verification of identity. Parents and Children For the protection of patrons, parents seeking records of their minor child, under age 16, may be asked to provide proof of their child's age as well as evidence they are the custodial parent. According to Wisconsin State Statute 43.30(1b)(1)(ag) "Custodial parent" includes any parent other than a parent who has been denied periods of physical placement with a child under s.767.41(4). Items on hold Items placed on hold for library patrons are shelved by the patron's initials for pick-up in the public areas of the Library. Patrons of any age may choose to have other people pick up their holds. Holds will be checked out on the library card presented at the time of check-out. Public Computer Use and the Library's Automation Systems The Library routinely and regularly purges information that may be linked to library users, such as information from web servers, mail servers, computer time management software, interlibrary loan requests, and other library information gathered or stored in electronic format. The Library System maintains the online catalog and a number of databases. The Library System automatically collects and maintains statistical information about library users' visits to the library catalog and databases. This information includes the IP address of the visitor, the computer and web browser type, the pages used, the time and date, and any errors that occurred. This information is used for internal reporting purposes and individual users are not identified. Network traffic is monitored to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or otherwise damage the web service. If a library user chooses to pay fines and fees via credit card, the credit card number is not stored in the user's library account; it is simply passed through to the payment processor. Websites The Library's website contains links to other sites including third party vendor sites. The Library is not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites which may be different from the privacy practices described in this policy. The Library encourages library users to become familiar with privacy policies of other sites visited, including linked sites. The Library website does not collect personally identifying information from visitors to the website unless the patron requests a service via the Library website. The Library may collect non -personal information from visitors to the website for statistical analysis, site assessment, server performance, authentication, troubleshooting and other management purposes. Examples of non -personal information collected include Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer, the type and version of browser and operating system the computer uses, geographical location of the network used to link to the Library's site, and time and date of the access. There is no link to personally identifiable information in computer communications, unless a patron has provided that information in the content of a transaction, for example, filling out an online form to request a service. The Library uses temporary "cookies" to maintain authentication when a patron is logged in to the online catalog. A "cookie" is a small text file that is sent to a user's browser from a website. The cookie itself does not contain any personally identifiable information. Other electronic services offered by the Library through third party vendors may use "cookies" to help control browser sessions. Websites may use the record of "cookies" to see how the website is being accessed and when, but not by whom. Library database users are asked for their library card number to ensure that only authorized users have access. Database vendors do not have access to any user records or information. The Library and the Library System work with a variety of partners to provide e-content (e.g. e-books, e- audios, e-music, e-videos, e-magazines) to users. Prior to checking out any of the Library's e-content users should read the privacy policy of the company that is providing the service. For example, users who check out e-books from the Wisconsin Digital Library for use on their Kindle (or via a Kindle app) will receive those e-books via Amazon. Amazon's privacy policy describes the kind of information that is collected and stored in connection with such transactions. However, all other e-book formats within the OverDrive collection do not collect this information. Wireless Access The Library offers free wireless access (Wi-Fi) for library patrons to use with their own personal notebooks, laptops and other mobile devices. These access points are unsecured. A patron's use of this service is governed by the Library's internet policy. Due to the proliferation of Wi-Fi networks, library users may also be able to access other Wi-Fi networks within the building that are not provided by the Library. Use of these non -Library wireless networks within the Library's facilities is also governed by the Library's internet policy. As with most public wireless "hotspots," the Library's wireless connection is not secure. Any information being transmitted could potentially be intercepted by another wireless user. Cautious and informed wireless users should choose not to transmit personal information (credit card numbers, passwords and any other sensitive information) while using any wireless "hotspot." Use of the Library's wireless network is entirely at the risk of the user. The Library disclaims all liability for loss of confidential information or damages resulting from that loss. Other services Some patrons may choose to take advantage of RSS feeds from the Library's website, hold and overdue notices via e-mail or text message, and similar services that send personally identifiable information related to library use via public communication networks. Patrons should also be aware that the Library has limited ability to protect the privacy of this information once it is outside the Library's control. Library Photos The Library takes photos at library programs and they may be posted to the website or used in promotions. Patrons are advised to step to the side or notify library staff members if they do not wish to be in photographs. Illegal activity prohibited and not protected Patrons may conduct only legal activity while using library resources and services in accordance with the Library's Code of Conduct and Computer and Internet Use policies. Nothing in this policy prevents the Library from exercising its right to enforce its Rules of Behavior, protect its facilities, network and equipment from harm, or prevent the use of library facilities and equipment for illegal purposes. The Library can electronically log activity to monitor its public computers and external access to its network and reserves the right to review such logs when a violation of law or library policy is suspected. Staff is authorized to take immediate action to protect the security of library patrons, staff, facilities, computers and the network. This includes contacting law enforcement authorities and providing information that may identify the individual(s) suspected of a violation. Enforcement and redress Patrons with questions, concerns, or complaints about the handling of his/her personally identifiable information or this policy may file written comments with the Director. A response will be sent in a timely manner and the Library may conduct an investigation or review of practices and procedures. The Library conducts such reviews as necessary to ensure compliance with the principles outlined in this policy. The Director is custodian of library records and is authorized to comply with public records requests or inquiries from law enforcement officers. The Director may delegate this authority to designated members of the library's management team. The Director confers with the Municipal Attorney before determining the proper response to any request for records. The Library will not make library records available to any agency of state, federal, or local government unless a subpoena, warrant, court order or other investigatory document is issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, showing good cause and in proper form. All library staff are trained to refer any law enforcement inquiries to the Director. Policy Changes This Privacy Policy may be revised to reflect changes in the Library's policies and practices or to reflect new services and content provided by the Library. Patrons are encouraged to check this document periodically to stay informed of the Library's current privacy guidelines. Adopted By the Board of Trustees May 16, 2017 'Patron records show current checkouts. When an item is returned, it is removed from the patron's checkout list. However, patrons who sign up for the reading history service will have their checkout history saved instead of purged. The user has the option to turn off the service and delete his/her reading history at any time.
