Director's Report
November 19th, 2024
1. Reference Update (from Samantha Quail - Head of Reference, Eileen Castro, Adult Services
Librarian, Jolyn Lobe and Laura Boeck, Reference Assistants):
Reference Staff all attended the in-service on Friday October 18. After CPR certification in the
morning, they were given training on Library Calendar - a new reservation software that will be used
for booking meeting/study rooms and promoting Library events. Samantha and Emma will be
attending the annual Wisconsin Library Association conference November 6-8. Muskego received a
$1,000 Scholarship to use towards conference expenses.
We had 54 attendees for the Paranormal Investigators of Milwaukee program on October 23.
November will be the final Crafternoon, and both the 2:00 and 6:00 sessions have completely
booked up! We also have a waitlist for the Mocktails program on November 19. The Mocktails
program is being funded by a $400 programming grant we were awarded from Bridges.
The Friends are gearing up for their "Santa's Booked at the Library' fundraiser on Saturday
December 7. In addition to a photo opportunity with Santa and Mrs. Claus, there will be a bake sale,
kids holiday craft, face painting, and used DVD/book sale.
Upcoming adult programs for the next few weeks include:
• Maximize Your Medicare on Monday November 18.
• Crafternoon: Rolled Beeswax Candles on Monday November 18.
• Mocktails on Tuesday November 19.
• Local Author Lynne Shaner on Wednesday November 20.
• Matinee Movies on Thursdays November 21 and December 5.
• Cup of Health: Diabetes Prevention on Thursday November 21.
• Chain Reaction Crochet Group on Tuesdays November 26 and December 10.
• Laura Ingalls Wilder's Christmas Memories on Wednesday December 11.
• Memory Cafe: Holiday Ornaments on Thursday December 12.
2. Children's Update (from Emma McClure — Children's Librarian, Courtney Metko and Christine
Carrillo Children's Assistants):
In November, the children's department will be holding our sensory playdate program, which
encourages young children to learn and explore through the use of their senses, along with our
regular programs: weekly storytimes, ATLAS, Lego Club, and Graphic Fanatics. Thanks to a donation
by the Muskego Women's club, we were able to purchase updated furnishings and play equipment
13
for the children's play area. In addition, staff will be preparing for our new Baby Music program that
will be held in December and planning our winter 2025 programming.
3. Young Adult Update (from Amanda Hyland, Young Adult and Marketing Librarian):
During the month of October there was an Oogie Boogie Scavenger Hunt in the Teen Area and the
Nightmare Before Halloween Escape Room which ran from October 17-30 with 124
participants. Current projects include weeding and cleaning up the Kids DVD Collection, getting
familiar with Library Calendar, and working on the Marketing Plan. She has also been attending
webinars focusing on video game collections in the library.
4. Circulation Update (from Jane Matusinec, Circulation Supervisor):
We are back at full staff with our shelvers. Liz Driss joined the circulation team on November 6. Liz has
worked for the Wisconsin Humane Society for the last 25 years. We are happy she is going to spend
some of her busy life with us keeping our shelves in order.
After a bit of trial and error, we have changed the open holds shelf tickets to use the first 3 letters of
patrons' last names instead of the first 2 letters. As our hold shelves continue to be quite full, we hope
this will help patrons distinguish their items a little easier.
5. Other Updates:
a. Dates of Note: The next full Library Board meeting is December 17th at 5pm in the
Library Conference Room. Please email Brittany in advance if you cannot attend to
assure a quorum is present. The Personnel Committee will be meeting to write the
Library Director 2024 performance evaluation in after the November meeting. At the
December Library Board meeting there will be a discussion about whether or not the
Library Board would like to move their monthly meeting time to 5:30pm to help those
traveling from work.
b. Friends' of the Library: The next Friends First Friday Coffee in will be December 6th at
9:30am. Staff and the Friends will work to prepare for the Santa's Booked at the Library
Fundraiser on December 7tn
c. Building Updates: The permanent fix to the pipe in Meeting Room 4 was made. The
contractor discovered an additional leak behind the wall in Meeting Room 4 which we
will have to address. The five-year inspection also uncovered some additional leaks (on
the dry side of the system) that need to be located. This will require a site visit to locate
the leaks, and then repair costs to fix them. The fall preventative maintenance is being
scheduled for the HVAC system. We also had issues with our boilers that required a
contractor visit. A girl scout troop did a service project for the library (painting the fence
to the dumpster enclosure). Thank you Troop 9009! Back in July I updated the Board
that new signage was in progress! One of the Library Board approved goals from the last
14
strategic plan was to improve wayfinding signage. We then spoke with staff, patrons,
and studied patron behavior to identify what signage to prioritize, where to locate it,
and what it should say. Each sign was built into the plan of its respective capital projects
(service desks, restrooms, and study rooms) or part of an accessibility grant we received.
We spoke with three different companies, and based on signage style needs, selected a
company. The design process with this company required thoughtfulness, to assess size,
font, contrast, wording, and location. The signage purchases for these different projects
were coordinated together so that we could achieve a consistent design and costs will
now be charged to these individual budget areas. There is enough funding within these
three capital budgets and grant to pay for this signage, and we will get a total of 18 signs
for a total of $13,397.74.
d. 2024 Action Plan Updates: An assessment was done on how noise moves through the
building. Some action items were documented including the need for more insulation
between the study rooms to help with sound proofing and signage during Great Room
events. Study room use and public meeting room use was also evaluated. Data
gathered will be discussed with the Library Board when we update the Public Meeting
Room policy (likely in January or February).
e. Grant/Outside Funding Updates: At the July 2024 Library Board meeting it was
requested I include any details about grants applied for in 2024. Here and moving
forward I will list any information about grants or outside funding sources for the
current year.
i. January 2024: Friends of the Muskego Library Annual Funding Request (received
$13,951). Covers summer reading program expenses and program presenters
throughout year. Also covers movie license fee, Book pages subscription, and
zoo pass circulation.
ii. March 2024: Bridges Block Grant (received $1,000). Covered Children's
Audiobook special purchase (Tonle boxes and story figures).
iii. March 2024: Bridges Competitive Grant (received $5,000). Covered portion of
adult changing table.
iv. May 2024: WiLS Ideas to Action Grant (Did not get funding).
v. June 2024: Friends' Garden Walk Fundraiser (earned $8,622). Funds will assist
with 2025 Friends' Annual Funding Request.
vi. August/September 2024: Emma and Brittany presented a funding request to the
Muskego Woman's Club. They generously gave us $4,000 to replace the worn
and broken toys in the kids area and the old catalog computers.
vii. September 2024: Library staff worked with a family on a legacy gift to honor
their mother of $1,000. They are funding the circulation of a pass to the Betty
Brinn's Children's museum and possibly one additional pass.
viii. October/November 2024: Funding request put in for an additional study pod
(part of an MOU agreement with work force development agencies). Grant
funding was approved, providing Library Board approval of the MOU.
15
ix. November 2024: Staff applied for and received a $1,000 grant to go towards the
state library conference.
6. Employee Anniversaries: Claudia Engler, Library Aide (2 years)
7. Board Education: A reminder that the Library Board has By -Laws! They are discussed with the
orientation of each Trustee, and govern the Library Board. It outlines purpose, roles and responsibilities,
and how meetings are run. The By -Laws were last reviewed by the Library Board in 2021 and are due
for a review again in 2026 or based earlier if there is a need. Fun By -Laws fact! In the absence of all
officers at a Board meeting, the Library Board members present would elect a temporary president for
the meeting! (Article III, Section 8).

Background on 2025 Annual Addendum to the Bridges Library System
Member Library and CAFE Agreements
The 2025 Bridges Library System Member Library and CAFE Agreement is an annual budget agreement
between the Muskego Library and Bridges Library System. It outlines the revenue that will be
distributed to the Muskego Library in 2025 ("Paid to Library" section) and the expenses the Muskego
Library Must pay to Bridges for system services ("Paid by Library").
These revenue and expense dollars have already been factored into the 2025 budget request shown
and approved by the Library Board at the July 2024 meeting.
Below I have included definitions to each of the budget columns:
Waukesha County: Every year the Muskego Library gets county funding.
Prairie Lakes Library System: Revenue gained from "true non-resident" patrons of Racine and
Walworth Counties for use of our library.
eContent Grant: A grant given to the Muskego Library by Bridges used for eContent. In past years it
has been used to offset Hoopla (ebook and eaudiobook) costs.
Databases: The Muskego Library pays for our portion of the system databases (example: Ancestry.com,
Consumer reports, etc).
Movie License: The Muskego Library offers Thursday movie matinees and summer kid movie
showings. This requires a public performance license. The Friends' of the Library reimburse us for
this.
WI Digital Library Content: This is the Muskego Library's cost for our patrons to gain access to the
Wisconsin Digital Library (Overdrive/Libby).
Advantage Program: This is the Muskego Library's cost for our patrons (as part of the Bridges
System) to gain priority access to copies of popular materials before others in the state.
CAFE Fee: This is the Muskego Public Library's cost share of the integrated library system software.
This is the software that is the public catalog, that retains all patron and material records, that checks
out items (with staff, patron account renewals, and self checks).
2025 Annual Addendum
to the Bridges Library System
Member Library & CAFE Agreements
Subject to the terms and conditions of the general agreement between the Library System and
the member library, both parties agree to make the payments listed in the charts below. County
reimbursement funds will be made in two equal payments no later than April and October.
eContent grant funds will be distributed in March.

Background on 2025 Action Plan
This is the first read of the 2025 Action Plan. It will be voted on by the Library Board at the December
2024 meeting, to go into effect January 2025.
The Action Plan is a one-year plan that outlines the Library' set of goals (and action items to
meet those goals) for the year. At the August and September Library Board meeting you
received an update from me on the status of the 2024 Action Plan.
The Action Plan is derived from the 5 year Strategic Planthat was approved by the Board in
December 2023.
The Strategic Plan is a great representation of feedback from the Muskego Community! We had
3,787 contact points from patrons (including surveys, testimonials, focus groups, and visual
boards for voting on topics).
With all of the community data gathered from the strategic planning process, it means our Action Plans
will be well informed. The Head of Reference and I spoke with the staff in September about priorities
they see for the coming year, and consulting the 5 Year Strategic Plan. We then brought the draft of this
plan before the Strategic Planning Committee for review.
Please ask questions at this meeting, or in between now and the December meeting, so that you can be
prepared to vote in December.

Background on JobPod MOU
JobPod is a new program that allows for greater collaboration between workforce development and
libraries. It takes what libraries already do (offer space, technology access, and connecting people to
resources), and gives libraries additional tools and training to succeed and best support our patrons.
Our library has an opportunity to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with JobPod.
JobPod will help facilitate workforce development connections and provide grant money for an
additional meeting pod that can be used for job seeker activities. The one-time location fee will also be
covered by grant funding from the Department of Workforce Development.
Our library will be able to meet the participating library requirements and expectations as outlined in
the MOU. The core expectations of connecting job seekers to resources and technology is already
within our mission. What's more, one of the 2025 Action Plan items (as derived from strategic planning
data) is to "modernize job resources offerings and format". The timing of this partnership and grant
pairs perfectly with the strategic vision of the Muskego Public Library.
