Director's Report
May 20th, 2025
1. Reference Update (from Samantha Quail - Head of Reference, Eileen Castro, Adult Services
Librarian, Jolyn Lobe and Laura Boeck, Reference Assistants):
April was another strong month for adult programs. AARP filed 161 returns for free during the tax
season and plans to return to offer the service again in 2026. We had 23 participants in the "Titanic
Menus" event on April 5, the matinee showing of 'Conclave' on April 17 had 26 attendees, and 11
people came to the "Maximize Your Medicare" program on April 28. The largest turnout was for the
"Become a Beer Snob" on April 23, which had 30 participants, and was so well received we have
partnered with at Eagle Park to offer two additional sessions of the series.
Last month Reference Assistant Courtney Metko launched a "Seed Library" for patrons. Thanks to a
very generous donation from Stein Garden Center, the library had an abundance of seed packets.
Taking inspiration from other libraries, Courtney started a program where patrons can select up to 5
free seed packets to plant at home. In the first month we gave away 481 seed packets to 127
families. At the end of the season, they can donate seeds from the produce that was grown to keep
the seed library going. We have already received 13 pre -packaged perennial flower packets, and
over 600 individual cantaloupe and cucumber seeds that will be redistributed back to patrons.
Upcoming adult programs for the next few weeks include:
• FOL Culvers Night Fundraiser on Wednesday May 21.
Abraham Lincoln: a New Birth of Freedom on Wednesday May 21.
Cup of Health: Laughing Yoga on Thursday May 22.
Chain Reaction Crochet Group on Tuesdays May 27 and June 10.
Are Your Weeds Laughing at You on Wednesday May 28.
Become a Beer Snob: Part 2 on Wednesday June 4.
Muskego Matinees on Thursday June 5.
Summer Reading Kickoff at Jammin in the Park on Friday June 6.
From Hive to Honey Jar: The Basics of Beekeeping on Wednesday June 11.
2. Children's Update (from Emma McClure — Children's Librarian, Courtney Metko):
May is the month where the children's department wraps up our school -year programming and
shifts our focus to summer reading prep. On April 25th, we held Messy Makers, a process art
program where children were able to explore different ways to paint. We finished up all four of our
storytimes during the week of May 5th and there is only one more A.T.L.A.S and a stuffie sleepover
left before our summer programming officially begins. The summer reading program starts on June
14
6th and our kickoff will be at Jammin' in the Park. To market the program, the children's staff will be
visiting Lakeview and Mill Valley Elementary Schools and Bay Lane Elementary will be taking a field
trip to the library.
3. Young Adult Update (from Amanda Hyland, Young Adult and Marketing Librarian):
During the month of April there was a Minecraft Mash -Up Contest, and a Jelly Bellies Taste Test. The
Young Adult Librarian has finalized the tickets and marketing materials for the 2025 Garden
Walk. Current projects include planning programs for Summer Reading and getting ready for school
visits to promote the program.
4. Circulation Update (from Jane Matusinec, Circulation Supervisor):
Taking inspiration from the popular "Would You Rather..." activity at the reference desk, staff put up a
display of books asking patrons if they would prefer a beach read or a wilderness read for the summer.
We have been doing some re-training/refreshing of our workflow at the circulation desk so we are well -
prepared for the busyness of summer reading. The circulation supervisor is implementing some new
"cheat sheets" for staff to use regarding the steps for taking money for damaged non-Muskego books as
we do not do this very often. There will also be cheat sheets for unique checkout due dates and late
fees.
Staff began selling tickets for the Friends' Garden Walk. In June we will also be selling raffle tickets for
gift baskets provided by the Friends to help create more excitement for the Garden Walk event. The
library aide Stacy has changed our display across from the circulation desk. It highlights popular authors
and hopefully entices patrons to try reading something new.
5. Other Updates:
a. Dates of Note: The next full Library Board meeting is June 17th in the Library
Conference Room. Please email Brittany in advance if you cannot attend to assure a
quorum is present. This meeting the first draft of the 2026 Operating Budget and the
2026-2030 Capital Budget will be presented.
b. Friends' of the Library: The next Friends First Friday Coffee in will be June 6th at
9:30am. The Friends' St" annual Garden Walk will be on June 28th! Please help spread
the word or consider attending with friends to see the amazing experience firsthand!
c. Building Updates: The first meeting for the road program (that the library parking lot is
combined with) is coming up at the end of May. Library staff will be in attendance to
assist with how to communicate the project to the public, discuss timing, and provide an
assessment on impact to patrons and staff. One of the unknowns right now is whether
or not the library may need to close for a day or two so safely complete the project. The
library typically has two staff training days each year where the library closes. If it is
determined the safest course of action (and the fastest way to complete the project) is
to close the building, we will have those days of closure be the inservice days for the
year.
15
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. This request
generously covers summer reading program expenses, program presenters and
materials for all ages throughout the year, our movie license fee, Book Pages
subscription, and zoo pass circulation. Thank you to the Friends and the Library
staff who help support them!
ii. February 2025: Friends' of the Muskego Library and Library staff put on the Love
Your Library fundraiser and raised $593.70. They also raised $376.20 from the
holiday light recycling drive. Staff applied and received a $400 grant to fund an
adult program from the Bridges Library System.
iii. May 2025: The Library applied for a Job Pod grant, which would allow us to
receive a large, accessible study pod and continue to be a resource to support
job seekers in the area and form a deeper partnership with the local
department of workforce development. This grant was approved by the Board
with an MOU in March 2025.
6. Employee Anniversaries: Holly Bavinka, Library Aide (4 years), Emma McClure, Children's Librarian (2
years)

Background on Community Service Waiver
The library occasionally has community members (minors) come and ask if they can do community
service hours (from scout troops, honors society requirements, or Muskego Municipal Court).
Currently we fulfill those requests if we have special projects (example: shelf dusting, fence painting,
helping at a fundraiser, etc).
At the March 2025 Library Board meeting there was a discussion and it was requested the Library
Director bring the topic back (for discussion only) at the April Library Board Meeting. At the meeting
the Library Director will present additional information gathered per the Board's request, including:
-If other libraries use waivers
-The possibility of a shortened waiver (short answer: not recommended)
-Follow up from the City Attorney on the perspective of waivers
Action Needed: A motion to approve or reject the waiver.
Muskego Library Volunteer Waiver and Release of Liability Form
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!
This is a legal document that affects your legal rights. Before signing this waiver and release of liability, read
this entire document carefully. If you sign this waiver and release of liability and an incident occurs resulting
in injury or loss of property, then you will be giving up legal rights that you might otherwise have. If you do

Background on Computer and Internet Use Policy Update
The Computer and Internet Use Policy has been reviewed by the Library Director, Library Staff, and the
City Attorney. Updates have been made and they are now presented to the Library Board for review.
This policy must be updated every five years to be in compliance with Waukesha County Library
Standards.
Action Needed: A vote for approval will be requested.
Computer and Internet Use Policy
The Muskego Public Library provides computer and Internet access to help support its mission of
providing a space for learning, entertainment, and the exchange of ideas. The purpose of this policy is
to ensure this access can occur without disruption. Patrons using Library computers and patrons
accessing the Library's wireless network with their personal electronic devices are subject to this
policy. Library staff is available for basic technology assistance only.
The Library has chosen to install filtering software which blocks access to certain sites that violate any
of the below listed unacceptable uses of Library computers or internet. Patrons should be aware no
filtering software is totally effective. The ultimate responsibility for appropriate use rests with the
patron. On a limited basis, Library staff may disengage the Internet filter when access to a site is not in
violation of this policy as determined by Library Staff at their sole discretion.
Examples of unacceptable uses include, but are not limited to:
• Any illegal activity
• Display of explicit or pornographic materials
• Harassment of other users or violation of their privacy
• Destruction of or damage to equipment, software, or data belonging to the Library
• Unauthorized copying of copyrighted materials
• Unauthorized changes to the setup or configuration of the software or hardware
• Food and/or open beverages at or near Library computers.
• Loud and/or excessive conversation at or near Library computers
Use of non -Library paper in the printer/photocopier must be approved by Staff prior to being used in
library equipment. Staff may refuse a patron to use any product deemed not suitable for the library
equipment.
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, including any computer and Internet use. Per the
Library's Unattended Child Policy, all children in the Library under age 10, and therefore at the
computers, must be accompanied by a caregiver and within visual range.
Library users have the right to confidentiality and privacy. However, internet users should be advised
that because security is technologically difficult to achieve, electronic transactions and files on library
computers as well as connection to the Library wi-fi is not secure and should be used with caution.
Library staff reserves the right to monitor library workstations and wi-fi use to ensure compliance with
this policy.
The Muskego Public Library assumes no responsibility for any damages, direct or indirect, arising from
the use of its equipment and resources, or use of personal equipment.
Failure to comply with this policy or with Library staff directions may result in restriction or
suspension of the patron's access to Library resources and/or other Library privileges.

Background on Meeting Spaces Policy Update
The Meeting Room Policy (with a suggested retitling to "Meeting Spaces Policy") has been reviewed by
the Library Director, Library Staff, and the City Attorney. Updates have been made and they are now
presented to the Library Board for review. This policy must be updated every five years to remain in
compliance with Waukesha County Library Standards.
Action Needed: vote for approval will be requested at this meeting.
Library Meeting Spaces Policy
The Library's meeting spaces consist of four large meeting rooms in the lobby, four smaller study
rooms, five study pods, and one outdoor amphitheater. Library and City use of meeting spaces ranks as
first priority and the Library reserves the right to cancel an existing reservation if the space is needed
by the Library or City to be determined at their sole discretion. Whenever possible, 24-hour notice will
be given. Reservations for meeting spaces can be made starting September 1st for the following
calendar year.
Lobby Meeting Rooms and Outdoor Amphitheater Eligibility
Organizations are limited to two evening reservations per month. An evening reservation is a meeting
that starts at or extends past 5:00 p.m. A parent organization and its sub -groups will be considered as
separate entities if this is specified at the time of the reservation. At least one adult must be present.
When the rooms are not needed for Library or City activities, they are available for use for other
organizations as follows:
Non-profit, civic, and community organizations.
o Purpose must be for civic, educational, cultural, intellectual, recreational or charitable
activities. For civic and community organizations, the entity and purpose must be wholly
not for profit.
o There is no charge for a group that are in this category.
o Proof of tax-exempt status may be required to establish eligibility to use the rooms
without a fee.
o Meetings can be open or closed to the public at the discretion of the meeting organizer.
Individual, private, and commercial uses by Wisconsin residents or Wisconsin businesses.
o Purpose includes private parties such as birthday parties/showers, or any use of the
room by a single person or business.
o The fee to use rooms 1, 2, or 3 is $25.00 per hour or a pro -rated portion by the half hour.
o The fee to use room 4 or the amphitheater is $50.00 per hour or pro -rated portion by the
half hour.
o The fee is payable within two business days of making the reservation and must be
received prior to room use.
o If an organization does not notify the Library of a meeting cancellation before its
scheduled start time the fee will not be refunded.
Meeting rooms may not be used for any purpose which, in the opinion of the Director and/or Library
Board, may interfere with the normal use of the Library or violate the Library Code of Conduct. If a
group is denied use of a meeting room, they may appeal this decision at the next Library Board Meeting
by giving notice to the Library Director via email or letter, provided the notice is received three full
business days (72 hours) in advance to update the agenda.
The Library Board subscribes to the tenets of the American Library Association's Bill of Rights, which
states in part, "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." However, use of the meeting rooms does not constitute
an endorsement by the Library or its Board of Trustees of the views of those utilizing Library meeting
rooms.
Library Outdoor Amphitheater Details
The Library's outdoor amphitheater can be reserved for use during regular Library hours. No
equipment or furniture is provided by the Library for amphitheater use. Events held in the outdoor
amphitheater may not disturb neighboring properties. All refuse must be removed from the Library
property by the party using the amphitheater. Trash bins are not available, and the Library's dumpster
may not be used.
How Reserve a Lobby Meeting Room or the Outdoor Amphitheater
Meeting rooms and the outdoor amphitheater can be reserved on the Library's website through the
online room reservation system. Rooms can also be reserved by visiting the reference desk, emailing,
or mailing the required paperwork. Reservations submitted through the online room reservation
system will be given priority over other submission methods if the same space is needed.
Reserving a meeting room or the amphitheater requires submitting details such as contact information
and meeting purpose. This information will be retained as a library record to help organize and track
reservations. All requests are in a status of PENDING once submitted and only secured once library
staff have reviewed and confirmed the request. Meeting rooms are assigned by Library staff based on
the size of the group expected and room availability. Organizations may not reserve more than two
public meeting rooms at the same time on a regular basis (more than once a month).
Making a reservation means you agreeing to act as the authorized adult representative of the
organization who shall be personally responsible for the conduct at the meeting and for any damages
incurred.
Lobby Meeting Room Hours
The Library's meeting rooms are available during Library hours. Organizations may stay up to an hour
past closing time with prior permission from the Library Director or the Director's designee (staff
member in charge at time of request). Organizations will have access to the large meeting room,
hallway, and public restrooms. No staff will be in the building to provide support. Organizations
leaving after the Library has closed must make sure exterior doors are closed securely. Doors will
automatically lock behind you.
Lobby Meeting Room Capacity and Equipment
The Library has four meeting rooms available in the lobby, with capacities ranging from 25 to 100

organizations to meet their individual needs. The Library does not assume responsibility for and is

must be arranged according to the chart posted in the room.
The Library has free wireless Internet access. Upon request the Library has equipment available on a
first come first served basis. Library staff is unable to provide technical support to meeting room users.
Patrons are encouraged to meet with library staff before the day of the meeting to test the library
equipment and technology. There is no guarantee that personal technology will work in the Library
environment.

LIBRARY SYSTem
Bringing libraries together
To: Muskego Public Library Board of Trustees
From: Karol Kennedy, Bridges Library System Director
Re: Waukesha County Library Standards Certification
Date: May 1, 2025
741 N. Grand Ave., #210
Waukesha, Wt 53186
P 262.896.8080
W bridgeslibrarysystem.org
Wisconsin Statute 43.64(2) allows Waukesha County municipalities that tax their residents for
libraries the opportunity to exempt their residents from the county library levy if two criteria are
met:
1) The municipal tax rate for library services is equal to or greater than the rate of the county
library tax, and
2) The library meets or exceeds the Waukesha County adopted library standards.
Exemption from the county library tax, therefore, includes two distinct actions. The municipality
action required is a certification of its library tax rate. That process begins when I send out a
communication to the municipality after the state releases its official Equalized Assessed Values in
mid -August.
The library action requires the library board to review the information in this letter and certify the
library's compliance with the various standards by completing the form beginning on page 2 of this
document and returning it to the Bridges office by August 31, 2025.
The Waukesha County Board approved the updated county library standards in April 2022. All 16
library boards in the county have since endorsed these standards. More information is available
here: ,itt s: brid eslibrar s stem.or waukesha-count - lannin -committee-2016-act-150 .
There are numeric Minimums to Exempt as well as Quality Assurance Items in the standards. This
letter includes your library's specific standards -related requirements.
Please complete the documentation on pages 3-4 and then complete the Library Board Certification
of Eligibility for Exemption from County Library Tax on page 5. Please scan and send all pages (with
signatures on page 5) to the Bridges office via email by August 31. This form constitutes your
library's certification for compliance with the library standards portion required for exemption from
the Waukesha County library tax levy.
Thank you for providing outstanding library services to the citizens of Waukesha County!

Step 1. Review your Library's Library Service Effort Ratio (LSER) Calculation I
There is a provision in the Waukesha County Plan that allows a library to qualify for the exemption
without meeting the Minimums to Exempt. If a library can demonstrate its ability to provide for
most of the needs of its own resident by reaching its targeted Library Service Effort Ratio (LSER), it is
allowed to exempt from the county library tax without meeting the numeric Minimums to Exempt.
The LSER is calculated as follows:
• Lending by your library to your own residents: 187,904
• PLUS lending to other library community's residents: 24,374
• DIVIDED by total circulation by your residents at all county libraries: 200,414
Your library's LSER is shown in Table 1 below.
Muskego's Library Service Effort Ratio
(LSER)
Eligible for Exemption Based on LSER?
Yes
If your LSER ratio is higher than your listed target rate, you will see a "Yes" in Table 1 above and may
skip to step 3 on this form. Please note, even if there is a "Yes" listed above, you are encouraged to
complete step 2 for the purposes of assessment. However, if your LSER is higher than your required
target, step 2 is not required for the purposes of meeting the minimum for the standards portion of
the county library tax exemption. If there is a "No" in Table 1 for your library, you must complete
step 2. All libraries must complete step 3.
Step 2: Compare your Library's previous year's data to your Library's Minimums to Exempt
Please review the data below gathered from your library's 2024 state annual report and indicate
whether your library will meet its minimum requirements in 2025.
Please circle "Yes" or "No" in the last column in Table 2. (Completing this table is required if LSER =
"NO" in step 1.)

Please attach narrative for any items for which the library circles "No" and describe steps planned

to select "No" one time during the annual certification process for the five-year planning period.
If your library has circled "No" for an item in a previous year in tables 2 or 3, circling "No" a second
time for that same item may result in the loss of ability for the municipality to exempt its residents
from the county library tax.

Board year per Library Board Bylaws:
President: Michelle Humphreys

Background
Per Library Board Bylaws, Article IV, Section 1, "The regular meetings shall be held each month, the date and
hour to be set by the Board at its annual meeting."
The current meeting is the third Tuesday of each month at 5pm.
A recent survey was distributed to the Library Board Trustees assessing their availability.
Please check all options that are available:
7 responses
4th Monday of each month (note:
also Lion's club meeting)
3rd Tuesday of each month (note:
current meeting)
3rd Wednesday of each month
(note: also Moose Lodge Legio...

Results varied widely on current Trustee availability. More in-depth analysis is provided below as the Board
considers the best time to meet.
S73W16663 W Janesville Rd
Muskego, WI 53150
Mondays
The 111 Monday is too early for statistics/financials of the previous month to be ready for the packet. The 2nd
and 3rd Mondays all have City Committee meetings. The 4t" Monday only three Trustees indicated
availability.
Tuesdays
The 111 Tuesday has two City Committee meetings. The 2nd Tuesday is a City Council meeting. The 3rd
Tuesday is the current Library Board meeting where four Trustees indicated availability. The 4t" Tuesday is a
City Council meeting.
Wednesdays
The 1st Wednesday is a City Committee meeting. The 2nd Wednesday is too early for statistics/financials of
the previous month to be ready for the packet. The 3rd Wednesday four Trustees indicated availability. The
41" Wednesday three Trustees indicated availability.
Thursdays
The 15t and 211 Tuesday is too early for statistics/financials of the previous month to be ready for the packet
The 3rd Thursday two Trustees indicated availability. The 4t" Thursday one Trustee indicated availability.
Fridays -Sundays
Not viable options
S73W16663 W Janesville Rd
Muskego, WI 53150
Additional Options
Option 1:
Currently we try and post the agenda/packet 4-5 days before the Board meeting to give Trustees a chance to review.
Scheduling a meeting the first or second week of the month would make it tight or impossible to get the numbers
from the previous month in the packet if the meetings are held the first or second week of the month.
Days not on the survey (and not already a City meeting) are: 1st Monday, 2nd Wednesday, 1st Thursday, 2nd Thursday
We could include the 2nd Wednesday or 2nd Thursday of the month if:
1. Trustees are comfortable only receiving the packet 2 days in advance
AND / OR
2. If Trustees are okay with statistics being on the agenda (and therefore noticed properly) but not in
the packet, but provided day of in print.
Note: The Library Director does not consider this ideal as it gives less time for Trustees to consider the information,
but wanted to present all options and impact.
Option 2:
Below is a list of the City meetings each month. These days of the month were avoided on the survey. Overlap is
possible, but does create conflicts if the same alderperson is assigned to the Library Board (3 year term) and the City
Committee (1 year term). Additionally, please note that the same barrier of Option 1 applies for the 1st and 2nd days of
the month in regards to statistics/financials availability.
2nd Monday: Landfill Committee
3rd Monday: Public Works and Safety Committee
S73W16663 W Janesville Rd
Muskego, WI 53150
+ i,1 Il /1i. /•�
1" Tuesday: Plan Commission AND Parks and Conservation
1" Thursday: Little Muskego Lake District
Note: 2nd and 41h Tuesday was not provided in this list as those are Council meetings where all alderpeople must be
present and the Library Director must present during budget season.
Option 3:
Library Board meetings are open to the public. It is logical that a time should be picked that is somewhat reasonable
for a member of the public to attend. The start time no earlier than 5pm and no later than 7pm is recommended (to
account for meeting duration and library closure time of 8:30pm). Trustees could review the days of the month
presented above from a time shift lens to see if increased availability appears.
