Reference Update (from Samantha Quail - Head of Reference, Eileen Castro, Adult Services Librarian, Jolyn Lobe and Laura Boeck, Reference Assistants): The Friends of the Library had a very successful Train Event on Saturday February 8. Members of the Milwaukee Lionel Railroad Club as well as staff from the East Troy Electric Railroad Museum brought model trains for families to observe and play with. An estimated 250 people participated in the event, where the Friends also hosted a bake sale and used book, DVD, and art sale, along with face painting and balloon animals. The Friends also received $376.20 from the extremely successful holiday light recycling drive. Many thanks to Jolyn for coordinating this drive, organizing the donations, and helping deliver the lights! AARP tax preparation has proved to be an extremely popular service yet again. All of our appointment openings filled up within 3 weeks of taking reservations. Through the new online system, staff have been able to continue assisting patrons once we reached capacity by making reservations at other AARP prep locations such as the New Berlin and Waukesha libraries. At a recent outreach event at the Stoney Creek senior living facility we were able to help 25 people become more familiar with accessing digital content on their own devices. Residents were also given an opportunity to renew or get a new library card. Upcoming adult programs for the next few weeks include: • Matinee Movies on Thursdays February 20 and March 6. • Special showing of Why: Questions and Answers about Dementia on Monday February 24. • Brews + Books Book Club on Tuesday March 4. • Local Author Kathie Giorgio on Wednesday March 5. • Irish band Ceol Cairde on Saturday March 8. • Secret Garden Book Talk and Musical on Wednesday March 12. • Memory Cafe on Thursday March 13. • Adult Nerf Wars on Saturday March 15. 2. Children's Update (from Emma McClure — Children's Librarian, Courtney Metko): In February, we have been preparing for Petite Prom (on February 22), our annual children's dance party. We have also held our 4 weekly storytimes, as well as an intergenerational storytime at Tudor Oaks Senior Living and an outreach storytime at Discovery Days in Wind Lake. Additionally, we held 10 our reoccurring programs (Block Party, Lego Club, STEAM Explorers, and ATLAS) and are preparing for the St. Patrick's Day craft program that will take place in March. 3. Young Adult Update (from Amanda Hyland, Young Adult and Marketing Librarian): During the month of January the library hosted a Hide N Seek in the Dark after-hours program and a Find the Yeti Scavenger Hunt. The library also offered snacks offered during the week of semester exams for high school students. In February there will be a Universal Yums Club program for teens featuring chocolate snacks from across the globe. Current projects include working on break-in bags and creating materials for the Summer Reading Program. 4. Circulation Update (from Jane Matusinec, Circulation Supervisor): The circulation staff has been busy answering phone calls from the many people making AARP tax appointments. We have also been promoting the Friends' Love Your Library Heart Sale. As of this writing, patrons have donated over $140 for hearts and have written lovely things about our library on some of the hearts. The Love Your Library Train event on Feb. 8 brought in many families who checked out books and returned many items. We had our first Saturday with over 800 items checked out in 2025. Circulation aide Holly Bavinka accompanied Samantha to the Steeple View Senior Community where patrons learned about downloading digital library materials. Patrons had the opportunity to get a library card or update existing library registrations. We are looking forward to also attending the Books and Blaze event at Bay Lane in March to offer library cards to anyone in need of one at the school. We are happy to be at full -staff once again as we have hired Clare Schweitzer as our newest shelver. Clare is a student at Muskego High School and started on Feb. 5. Brittany and I had the opportunity to give a library tour to a young adult working with Pantheon Industries, a non-profit organization that helps individuals with disabilities learn about different employment options. S. Other Updates: a. Dates of Note: The next full Library Board meeting is March 18t" in the Library Conference Room. Please email Brittany in advance if you cannot attend to assure a quorum is present. The Nominating Committee will be appointed in April by the Library Board President to present a slate of officers for the May 2025 Annual Meeting. b. Friends' of the Library: The next Friends First Friday Coffee in will be March 7th at 9:30am. Staff and the Friends worked hard to prepare for the Love Your Library/Trains Fundraiser on February 8t" and it raised $593.70. In May there will be a Culver's night, and the Friends' and Library staff will now begin to prepare for the annual shred event and 2025 Garden Walk! c. Building Updates: Work is progressing on the sprinkler system. Things are progressing as expected and the contractors have done a good job of communicating project next 11 steps. New OPAC computers were added to the library sponsored by the Muskego Woman's Club! We are grateful to have these new computers, which allow for faster searches! Patrons can now see our public meeting room availability and make reservations through our new library calendar software (paid for by the Bridges Library System). This makes planning easier for our patrons as they can review their calendars along with others in their meeting and then compare it to the library's availability without a lot of back and forth. This software required a lot of planning and set up, so special thanks to Michele for all of her work in getting this deployed. d. Grant/Outside Funding Updates: This is a list of grants or outside funding sources for the current year. January 2025: Friends of the Muskego Library Annual Funding Request was submitted to the Friends' Executive Board and approved $15,600.

W Background on Sprinkler System Funding Background: The repair work is underway to replace the corroding main pipe which will 1.) eliminate the leaks, 2.) proactively treat areas about to leak, and 3.) reinforce the system for better longevity with less corrosive couplings. Proposed Funding Strategy: 1. Discretionary Library Funds Two discretionary funds are available for allocation toward the sprinkler system repair: o Library Trust Fund: $31,700 total o Federated System Fund: $46,000 total Recommendation: Utilize $30,000 from the Library Trust Fund and $40,000 from the Federated System Fund, leaving minimal balances in both accounts while preserving some flexibility for future needs. 2. Reallocation from Library Parking Lot Project The 2025 capital budget allocated $200,000 for the library parking lot project, which includes three optional components: o Front parking lot (two sections) o Back road and parking lot (third option) Adjustments to the parking lot project will depend on actual bids received. If the project is under budget, all three sections could still be completed alongside the sprinkler repair. Otherwise, the scope will be limited to the sections allowed by the adjusted budget. At the October 2024 Library Board meeting the Board agreed to not make any plans for the Trust Fund and System fund, but to retain them for emergencies, specifically discussing such projects as the sprinkler system, roof, and HVAC needs. Action Needed: Approval of recommended funding strategy. Background on 2024 Annual Report Background: All Wisconsin public libraries are required to submit the Public Library Annual Report to the Wisconsin Department of Instruction by March 1st. The Library Board is required to approve the report. The report has some changes from year to year, but generally contains questions for the reporting year regarding collection size and circulation, programming, budget, staff, and library board information. Data is collected from statistical reports from library software, financial software reports, survey week formulas, and staff daily tracking of questions and program attendance. Trustees with specific or in-depth questions about the annual report are invited to email me in advance or set up a meeting in person so that I can provide whatever level of detail is requested. Action Needed: Approval of 2024 Annual Report. Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction PUBLIC LIBRARY ANNUAL REPORT PI-2401 (Rev. 01-25) lS. 43.05(4) & 43.58(6) FOR THE YEAR 2024 INSTRUCTIONS: Complete and return electronic, signed copy of the form and attachments to the library system.
