PUBLIC LIBRARI
LR17,�PWE"_.
Director's Report
December 17`h, 2024
1. Reference Update (from Samantha Quail - Head of Reference, Eileen Castro, Adult Services
Librarian, Jolyn Lobe and Laura Boeck, Reference Assistants):
We had 24 attendees for the "Maximize Your Medicare" program on November 18. The Mocktails
program was also a hit — the class was completely booked and attendees got to enjoy several
alcohol -free varieties of popular drinks like White Russians, Margaritas, and Irish Coffees.
Our Winter Reading Challenge began on December 1 and will run until February 28. Each year,
participants are asked to read 5 books of different genres. The program is open to all ages, and
everyone who completes the challenge wins a prize. This year, we received a donation for four free
one -day passes to Mt. Olympus Waterpark that we will use as a grand prize drawing for everyone
who completes the challenge.
The Friends hosted their annual "Santa's Booked at the Library" fundraiser on Saturday December 7,
and had 466 attendees! In addition to a photo opportunity with Santa and Mrs. Claus, there was a
bake sale, balloon animals, and ornament, and used DVD/book sale. The Friends board was also
presented with the Library's 2025 budget request, and voted to increase the amount that was
requested by an additional 5% in support of Library programs and services.
Upcoming adult programs for the next few weeks include:
• Laura Ingalls Wilder's Christmas Memories on Wednesday December 11.
• Memory Cafe: Holiday Ornaments on Thursday December 12.
• Matinee Movies on Thursdays December 19 and January 2.
• Brews + Books Book Club on Tuesday January 7.
• Getting Started with Libby on Wednesday January 8.
• Chain Reaction Crochet Group on Tuesday January 14.
2. Children's Update (from Emma McClure — Children's Librarian, Courtney Metko):
December is a busy month for the children's department. In addition to our regular programs
(storytimes, ATLAS, Lego Club, & Graphic Fanatics), we are holding three new programs. The first is
Baby Music, a musical storytime cohosted by Resonance Music Therapy LLC. We will also be holding
a Christmas storytime and craft program, as well as two sessions of Family Bingo on December 30th.
We are preparing for new programs in the new year, including a STEAM program called STEAM
Explorers where children will participate in a different STEAM experience every month.
14
3. Young Adult Update (from Amanda Hyland, Young Adult and Marketing Librarian):
During the month of November there was a Guess that Board Game Contest in the Teen Area and a
candy corn taste test that teens could pick up at the Reference Desk. For December there will be
Christmas Carol Picture Puzzle where teens will have to identify the carol by the puzzle. Current
projects include weeding and cleaning up the Kids DVD Collection, getting familiar with Library
Calendar, and starting a teen volunteer club to start in the new year.
4. Circulation Update (from Jane Matusinec, Circulation Supervisor):
The staff had fun promoting the "Santa is booked at the library" event. We are all enjoying seeing the
children ooh and ahh over the Christmas tree we have set up across from our checkout desk.
We are investigating the possibility of moving the self -check on our circulation desk to be next to the
other self -check at the end of the Hold Shelf. Patrons seemed to prefer using the self -check away from
the desk and we could use the extra space.
Unfortunately, our shelver Robin Butler turned in her resignation so we have an opening once
again. We will miss Robin's dedication and efficiency. We plan to post the position as soon as possible.
5.Other Updates:
a. Dates of Note: The next full Library Board meeting is January 21s' 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 January 3rd at
9:30am. Staff and the Friends will work to prepare for Love Your Library/Trains
Fundraiser. The Santa fundraiser was very successful, raising just over $700.
c. Building Updates: The two leaks discovered during the five-year fire protection
inspection (one on the dry side and one on the wet side) are scheduled for work on
December 27t". The dry side leak will be hard to locate as there are no drips, and so we
do not know yet what that cost will be to fix until we know the extent of the leak.
Someone for City Maintenance has been hired, and Brittany has been working to
introduce him to the building systems, documentation, and trouble spots.
d. 2024 Action Plan Updates: To improve wi-fi password awareness we have been adding
new signs based on patron feedback. With the website vendor switch in 2024, it
created new email communication methods. We are going to use the summer reading
booklets as a good way to advertise this.
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.

7. Board Education: A reminder that the Library Board has By -Laws! 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: Round 2! Did you know: "Any rule or resolution of the Board, whether contained in
these bylaws or otherwise, may be suspended temporarily in connection with business at hand, but such
suspension, to be valid, may be taken only at a meeting at which two-thirds of the members of the
Board are present and two-thirds of those present so approve." (Article IX, Section 2).

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.

Approving the Date/Hour of Monthly Library Board Meetings
Article IV of the Library Board By -Laws, Section 1 states "Section 1. Regular Meetings. The regular
meetings shall be held each month, the date and hour to be set by the Board at its annual meeting."
While the By -Laws state the date and hour should be set at its annual meeting each year, this was
missed by me. We have always just kept the same time and day for the last 7 years. It is my
recommendation that the Library Board now formally vote on the date/time of the meeting since it
never occurred in May 2024. And during this time, we can discuss if the third Tuesday of the month at
Spm remains the best time for the Trustee Members to attend.
Then in May 202S we will have this on the agenda again.
