Reference Update (from Samantha Quail - Head of Reference, Eileen Castro - Adult Services Librarian, Jolyn Lobe and Laura Boeck - Reference Assistants): Summer Reading is officially over, and we reached another peak this year! There were 512 participants registered in the adult program compared to 504 in 2024. They read a total of 340,675 minutes and entered 10,156 tickets into the various raffle drawings. This year we had $673 worth of prizes donated by local businesses and area attractions, and another $200 worth of gift cards donated by the Friends of the Library. On September 1ST our meeting room reservations opened for 2026, and we have already seen many reservations come in for next year. This was the first year in which patrons can make reservations themselves through Library Calendar, and we saw less of a rush at the Reference Desk from paper applications on the first day reservations opened. The study pods, including the newly finished JobPod were added to Library Calendar as well, and we have already seen reservation requests specifically for the pods. Upcoming adult programs for the next few weeks include: • Muskego Matinee on Thursday September 18 and October 2. • Cup of Health Series: Menal Health on Thursday September 25. • Brews and Books Book Club on Tuesday October 7. • Emergency Preparedness on Wednesday October 8. • Chain Reaction Crochet Group on Thursday October 9. • Friends of the Library Wine Glass Etching Fundraiser on Saturday October 11. • Crafternoon on Monday October 20. 2. Children's Update (from Emma McClure — Children's Librarian, Courtney Metko and Stephanie Simmons - Reference Assistants): Summer reading has officially ended after an additional two weeks were added on to the program because of construction. 906 kids participated in the 6-11 program and 437 kids participated in the 0-5 program. Now that children in the community have returned to school, the children's department has returned to our regular school year programming. Storytimes will have a different schedule this fall; now Baby and Preschool storytimes will take place on Tuesdays, Toddler storytimes will be on Wednesday, and Family Storytime will remain on Thursdays. Messy Makers, Lego Club, and STEAM Explorers will also be held this month. 13 3. Young Adult Update (from Amanda Hyland - Young Adult and Marketing Librarian): In August, teens enjoyed a variety of activities, including Nerf Wars, Universal Yums: Czechia, and a Scavenger Hunt: Crayons Edition. The Teen Summer Reading Program wrapped up with 255 registrations and an impressive 173,689 minutes read. The Library's passive programs gained a lot of attention —our Break -In Bags were completed 211 times, and the Rebus Puzzles drew 482 entries. 4. Circulation Update (from Jane Matusinec - Circulation Supervisor): August was a challenging month as we dealt with the library being closed two days for the parking lot paving project. We adjusted our services to meet the needs of the public on the days we could be open, using just the side parking lot and a temporary entrance. The staff had to be flexible with their work duties as people were needed for regular circulation work as well as monitoring the side door as patrons entered and left the building. We were very fortunate that we could continue to accept our transit deliveries so there was no over-whelming delivery at the end of the project. (Our delivery driver was happy too!) During our first in-service on August 7 (held at New Berlin library) circ staff was introduced to the new and improved catalog which goes live in September. There was also a presentation by the ADRC of Waukesha County regarding dementia awareness. We met again on August 19 for a get -to -know you session with our new director! Circulation staff also met to go over the steps for taking payments from patrons for fines, replacement costs of Muskego items and how to deal with damaged or lost non-Muskego items. We transitioned smoothly back to regular services after a short -notice half -day closure on Monday morning, August 25. This month's book display features man's best friend vs the cat. Which animal makes the better detective? A surprising number of sleuths use pets in their storylines. 5. Other Updates: a. Dates of Note: The next full Library Board meeting is Tuesday October 21'Y at 5:30 PM. b. Friends' of the Library: The next Friends First Friday Coffee in will be October 3rd at 9:30am.

January 2025: Friends of the Muskego Library Annual Funding Request was submitted to the Friends' Executive Board and approved $15,600.

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. The Job Pod is was delivered and installed on Wednesday July 16, but unfortunately had a damaged glass panel. The replacement was installed on Friday August 29. The official JobPod Launch Party is scheduled for Friday October 3rd at 11:00 am. e. Staff Updates: Administrative Assistant position has closed and we received 84 applicants. Kelsey and the city's Human Resources Director are working on scheduling the first round of interviews. f.

CD 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).
