Director's Report
January 20, 2026
1. 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 have been busy in their recent fundraising efforts. They hosted a Dine to
Donate event at the Lodge on January 12, are preparing for the Love Your Library Model Train event
on February 7, are running a campaign to grow membership, and set up a new online option for
collecting member renewals and donations. Their annual heart sale is also happening now — patrons
can purchase a heart for $1.00 at the Circulation Desk and hang it in the display across from the
desk.
In fall the Bridges Library System stopped using Hoopla, a cost-per-circ service, and instead decided
to have member libraries divert funds towards purchasing Advantage copies of titles through
Overdrive/Libby. Advantage titles are copies that Muskego owns, and similar to the lending process
of physical books, they can circulate to anyone in the system but priority is given to Muskego
cardholders. We placed our first order through Overdrive Advantage at the end of December and
have had 348 circulations by Muskego patrons on the titles acquired!
Upcoming adult programs for the next few weeks include:
• Chain Reaction Crochet Group on Thursdays, January 22 and February 12.
• Senior Safety in the Community on Monday, January 26.
• AARP Tax Preparation Assistance on Tuesdays, February 3, 10, and 24.
• Brews & Books Book Club on Tuesday, February 3.
• Muskego Matinee on Thursday, February 5.
• Love Your Library Train Event on Saturday, February 7.
• Hygge, Health, and Happiness on Tuesday, February 10.
2. Children's Update (from Emma McClure — Children's Librarian, Courtney Metko and Stephanie
Simmons - Reference Assistants):
The new year has been off to a busy start. We have had high attendance numbers at our four
weekly storytimes, ATLAS, Play Cafe, and Lego Club. This month, we will also have an
Intergenerational Storytime at Regency Senior Living, Messy Makers, and a new program called Felt
Friends, where kids will learn how to sew a small felt charm. Our winter reading program is
underway and children ages 2-11 have a chance to win tickets to Disney on Ice.
3. Young Adult Update (from Amanda Hyland - Young Adult and Marketing Librarian):
In December, the Teen Area featured winter-themed logic grid puzzles for teens to solve, and we
hosted a Universal Yums program where teens sampled holiday snacks from around the world,
including watermelon chocolate chip cookies, salted egg yolk popcorn, elderflower bonbons, and
16
more. Looking ahead, in February the Library will offer an after-hours teen event featuring hide-and-
seek in the dark once the building is closed. In addition, during the week of January 19, snacks will
be available in the Teen Area for high school students studying for semester exams. The Young Adult
Librarian is also preparing for the year ahead and has begun developing materials and "break-in
bags" for the upcoming summer reading program.
4. Circulation Update (from Jane Matusinec - Circulation Supervisor):
The circulation staff will begin selling hearts for the Friends of the Library on Jan. 15. A display is
going up across from the circulation desk. Hearts will sell for $1 each and patrons will be
encouraged to write on the hearts what they love about the library.
Staff have been working on ideas for how to display the additional experience passes that we will
soon be circulating.
Circulation aide Claudia updated the magnetic labels in the music CD area and it looks so nice.
We are now circulating mobile CD players/Bluetooth speakers. They are available to check out for 3
weeks at a time, just like music CDs and CD books.
