Director's Report
April 21, 2026
1. Reference Update (from Samantha Quail - Head of Reference, Eileen Castro - Adult Services
Librarian, Jolyn Lobe and Laura Boeck - Reference Assistants):
There were 303 attendees at the Friends of the Library's annual "Love Your Library" train event.
Between the bake sale, book/DVD/art sale, and their heart sale throughout the month of February,
the Friends earned over $700. They also held another "Wine Glass Etching" fundraiser on March 14
— many thanks to Jolyn for making this event a success. Registration for their ever -popular shredding
event began for current Friends members on April 6 and will open to non-members on April 20.
February and March had a variety of adult programs for patrons to choose from: 40 attendees got
cozy at the "Hygge, Health, and Happiness" Badger Talk on February 10, 17 adults and kids enjoyed
watching meteorologist Drew Burgoyne explain the science behind "Severe Weather" on March 11,
25 people came to enjoy the artwork and miniature -size snacks at our "Tiny Art Reception" on
March 12, 23 adults relived their childhood during the "Nerf Wars" on March 14, and 24 patrons
helped us honor those who served at the "Welcome Home: a tribute to Vietnam Veterans" event on
March 28.
Upcoming adult programs for the next few weeks include:
• Crafternoon: Book Page Flowers on Monday April 20.
• Maximize Your Medicare on Monday April 20.
• 7 Things to Do Before You Retire on Wednesday May 22.
• Chain Reaction Crochet Group on Thursdays April 23 and May 14.
• Muskego Matinee on Thursday May 7.
• Brews & Books Book Club on Tuesday May 5.
• Mothers Who Made History on Wednesday May 13.
• FOL Shredding Event on Saturday May 16.
Eileen attended the Public Library Association (PLA) national conference at the beginning of April.
She had this to say on the experience:
Getting to attend PLA was an amazing experience that gave me a spark of renewed energy and
enthusiasm about the incredible work libraries do. The opening speaker was author Bryan
Stevenson, and his talk on his work getting innocent people off of death row, and how libraries have
helped both him and his clients, was definitely the best part of the conference. He was introduced
by Jacob Frey, the mayor of Minneapolis, who spoke about how libraries have been on the front
lines in Minneapolis, helping people find resources and providing safe spaces. Getting to see both
men in person and hear their passion was such an energy boost. The sessions I was able to attend
were also fantastic, a session about Al and the slew of misinformation on the internet was especially
helpful. It gave concrete ways to assess information online and how to protect yourself against
being taken advantage of. Other helpful sessions were Building Joy -Centric Libraries, which gave
25
great ideas on how to build joy and community amongst library staff and patrons, and ALA
Advocacy, which went over different library -related bills in the government right now and what
libraries can do to advocate for ourselves. The information, ideas, and energy I gained and brought
back from the conference will definitely help me as a librarian going forward to provide the best
service I can to our patrons!
2. Children's Update (from Emma McClure — Children's Librarian, Courtney Metko and Stephanie
Simmons - Reference Assistants):
The past two months the children's department has been busy with many programs. In addition to
our four weekly story times and ATLAS, we also have Lego Club, STEM Lab (learning to make slime),
Boundless Beats, Intergenerational Storytime at Regency, Messy Makers (watercolor paper towels in
March and dot marker art in April), and Petite Prom. In March kids attended Felt Friends, where
they were taught to sew small felt frog charms. Boundless Beats is a new program that introduces
children 0-4 to instruments like drums, shakers, rhythm sticks, and more. We also partnered with
Starz Dance Academy for a storytime, which was a big success!
ATLAS 2026 =Progra=ms
In April we have a Dinosaur Reading Challenge where kids can earn a ticket to the Jurassic Journey
event happening at the Waukesha Expo. This program runs thru April 30t". Courtney also has our
seed library up and running, which gives community members access to free seeds for their gardens.
The children's team is also working hard this month to prepare for summer reading, which will run
June 5t" to August 15th.
Emma attended PLA at the beginning of April. She had this to say on the experience:
26
Having the chance to attend PLA this year was a valuable and rewarding experience for me. I
attended a variety of programs led by children's librarians from around the country and came away
feeling energized and full of ideas. One of the major takeaways for me from the conference was
more knowledge and confidence about how to create programs that are inclusive to youth with
disabilities. Librarians from the DC Public Library system led a session on this topic and gave very
actionable advice about how to reach out to people with disabilities in your community, how to
make them feel welcome, how to structure programs, and how to overcome common barriers that
may arise. I also attended multiple sessions about early literacy and storytimes which focused on
preparing kids for kindergarten. I plan to implement multiple strategies that were discussed in my
own storytimes. My last big takeaway from the conference was the importance of building
relationships with community partners. Several different sessions discussed how their libraries were
able to partner with local community organizations to broaden their program offerings and reach
new audiences, and now I hope to do the same in our community.
3. Young Adult Update (from Amanda Hyland - Young Adult and Marketing Librarian):
In March there was a Super Mario Galaxy Scavenger Hunt in the Teen Area, while April features a
Zoom In: Guess the Book Cover contest. Amanda has been actively working on creating the ticket
brochure for the Friends Garden Walk, preparing summer reading materials, assembling break-in
bags, and starting to design the annual report for 2025.
4. Circulation Update (from Jane Matusinec - Circulation Supervisor):
The Friends of the Library "Love Your Library" heart sale wrapped up in February. We had one
anonymous donor that put us over the top with a $200 donation.
The staff has had good success with our recent book displays. Books that were made into movies
were displayed around the time of the Academy Awards. We are currently displaying books that
have been on famous book club lists (Read with Jenna, Oprah, Reese Witherspoon, Good Morning
America).
Staff was very busy with returns on the Monday after Easter, which was also a no -school day. Total
checkouts were around 1000 items for the day.
Circulation aide Janet Defnet will be retiring May 2. Janet joined the circulation team in December
of 2020. We will miss her dedication to the job, her keen eye for detail and her organizational skills
that helped make the circulation desk run more smoothly.
We are excited that Keri Bongey has been hired to fill Janet's position. Keri has been a shelver at the
library since 2017. We are really looking forward to having her apply her library skills at the
circulation desk. The part-time shelving position is currently posted on the city website.
S. Other Updates:

are looking into what it would cost to have it repaired.
ii. The internet has gone down three times since the start of the year. Most recently
on March 11tn and 121n it was down for 28 hours. We have purchased devices for our
service desk computers to allow them to hook up to Wi-Fi and are looking into
purchasing a staff only hotspot, to be used during instances such as this, as well as
for outreach and other events.
iii. We have had multiple public computers experience frequent and random shut
downs while in use. IT is working on finding the problem, but we will likely have to
ship them out for repairs.

f. State and Federal Legislation
As of early April "The American Library Association (ALA) — the largest library
association in the world — and the American Federation of State, County, and
Municipal Employees (AFSCME) — the nation's largest union of cultural workers —
have reached a settlement agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice that
protects the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and ensures the
agency will continue carrying out its congressionally mandated work."

"Email, "Walking Quorums" and Other Potential Open Meetings Violations" per the
2026 edition of the "Trustee Essentials: A Handbook for Wisconsin Public Library
Trustees"
Email can be a time -saving communication tool and a wonderful convenience.
However, the use of email to communicate among members of a library board may
raise open meetings law concerns.
Under the Wisconsin open meetings law, a "meeting" of a governmental body
occurs whenever: (1) there is a purpose to engage in governmental business, and (2)
the number of members of the body involved in the "meeting" is sufficient to
determine the body's course of action. Based on this definition, Wisconsin courts
have ruled that the open meetings law applies when a series of gatherings of groups
of members of the governmental body (or "walking quorum"), each less than
quorum size, agree to act together in sufficient number to reach a quorum.
Using email, it is quite possible that a quorum of a governmental body may receive a
message — and therefore may receive information on a subject within the body's
jurisdiction — in an almost real-time basis, the way they would receive it in a meeting
of the body. Such communications among members of a library board must take
place in a legally noticed and a legally constituted meeting of the library board.
Because of the dangers posed by email, the Wisconsin Attorney General strongly
discourages the members of any governmental body from using email to
communicate about issues within the body's realm of authority. The use of email by
a library director to send information to library board members (such as a meeting
agenda and other meeting materials) would not implicate the open meetings law.
An email concerning library business sent to or by a library board member (or library
staff member) is subject to the requirements of the Wisconsin public records law.
For more on the requirements of the Wisconsin public records law see Trustee
Essential 15: The Library Board and the Public Records Law.

Background on Move Board Meetings to Library Meeting Room 4
This topic was initially brought up during the directors' report at the February meeting, after the City
Attorney voiced concern about the location of the library conference room in relation to ease of public
accessibility. At that time, the Board opted to update the meeting directional signage to better signify
where patrons should go for the meeting, along with verbiage encouraging them to ask at the front desk
for assistance if needed. Given there was no March meeting, this has not been put into effect yet.
In the interim between the February meeting and the April meeting, both the Mayor and City Attorney
requested that the Board reconsider moving the Board meetings to be held in Meeting Room 4 of the
library.
Action Needed: A motion to approve or deny the move.

Background on Privacy Policy
The current privacy policy has not been updated since 2017. There have been many changes in
technology, as well as our policies and procedures, that are not accounted for in our current policy.
Moving forward, this policy will be reviewed every 5 years to ensure we are maintaining current
standards and keeping up with any changes in the field of library information privacy.
Action Needed: A motion to approve or deny the policy.
Privacy Policy
Privacy Statement
Protecting library user privacy and keeping confidential information that identifies or associates
individuals with their use of library books, materials, equipment, programs, services, facilities, and/or staff
assistance is an important principle of the Library. This policy affirms the Library's commitment to privacy,
explains the information that the Library collects, and alerts visitors to Library facilities and users of
remotely accessed Library services of the privacy choices available to them. In addition, the Muskego
Public Library Board supports the principle of freedom of inquiry for library patrons, and adopts this policy
to protect against the unwarranted invasion of the personal privacy of library users.

XIII. Appendix B. Surveillance Camera Usage Procedures
I. Definition of Terms
• Right to Privacy is the right to open inquiry without having the subject of one's interest
examined or scrutinized by others.
• Confidentiality exists when a Library is in possession of personally identifiable information
about users and keeps that information private on their behalf.
• Personally identifiable information is information such as name, library card number, e-mail,
mailing address, telephone number, or any financial information relating to a patron and their
accounts.
• Patron refers to an individual who makes use of the Library's materials, resources, or services
regardless of whether such individual has created an account with the Library.
• The Library System is a legal entity established under Chapter 43 of the Wisconsin State
Statutes. Muskego Public Library is part of the Bridges Library System and therefore benefits
from shared costs for databases, collections, and services. The Library System facilitates the
purchase and maintenance of the shared catalog, patron database, and digital resources.
Muskego Public Library has no control over the Library System's collection of any patron
information.
H. Legal Protections and Exceptions
A. Wisconsin Law has strong protections in place to assist the Library in keeping records confidential.
In certain circumstances, Library records may be subject to disclosure to law enforcement officials
under provisions of Wisconsin State Law or Federal Law under the provisions of the USA Patriot
Act (Public Law 107-56). In accordance with the USA Patriot Act, public libraries must allow an
immediate search and possible seizure of equipment or information if presented with an FBI
National Security Letter or Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Warrant. Staff members are
provided with training in handling requests from law enforcement. The staff procedure can be
found in Appendix A of this policy.
B. The relevant Wisconsin Laws concerning the confidentiality of library records are Wisconsin State
Statutes Section 43.30 and the Wisconsin Personal Information Practices Law (Sections 19.62 to
19.80).
C. Under Wisconsin State Statutes Section 43.30, library records which indicate the identity of any
individual who borrows or uses the library's documents or other materials, resources, or services
may only be disclosed:
1. With the consent of the individual library user.
2. To a custodial parent or legal guardian of a juvenile under 16 years of age under as stated in
Wisconsin State Statutes Section 43.30(4).
3. By Court Order.
4. Upon the request of a law enforcement officer who is investigating criminal conduct alleged to
have occurred at the Library. In this instance, the library shall disclose all records pertinent to
the alleged criminal conduct that were produced by a surveillance device under the control of
the Library per Wisconsin State Statutes Section 43.30(5) (a).
5. If the Library requests the assistance of a law enforcement officer, and the Director of the
Library determines that records produced by a surveillance device under the control of the
Library may assist the law enforcement officer to render the requested assistance, the Library
Director or their designee may disclose the surveillance device records to the law enforcement
officer per Wisconsin State Statutes Section 43.30(5) (b).
+ D D
+ i�1 Il /1i. /•�
6. To persons acting within the scope of their duties in the administration of the Library or Library
System.
7. To other libraries for the purpose of borrowing materials for the individual in accordance with
the standards set forth in Wisconsin State Statute Sections 43.30(2) and (3).
8. For a patron having a delinquent account, the Library may only disclose the individual's name,
contact information, the amount owed to the Library, and the quantity and types (but not the
titles) of documents or materials that are overdue to a collection agency or, where the
delinquent account equals $50.00 or more, to a law enforcement agency, per Wisconsin State
Statutes Section 43.30(6).
D. Wisconsin's Personal Information Practices Law (Sections 19.62 to 19.80) requires every state and
local government authority (including public libraries) to develop procedures to protect the privacy
of personal information kept by the organization. Libraries (and all other government authorities)
are required to develop rules of conduct for employees involved in collecting, maintaining, using,
and providing access to personally identifiable information. Libraries are also required to ensure
that employees handling such records "know their duties and responsibilities relating to protecting
personal privacy, including applicable state and federal laws." Wisconsin State Statutes Section
19.65(2).
III. Library Records
A. The Library avoids creating unnecessary records and retaining records longer than needed for
library business purposes. The Library treats records as confidential in accordance with Wisconsin
State Statute 43.30. If consent to provide personally identifiable information is given, the Library
will keep it confidential and will not sell, license or disclose it to any third party, except for
purposes described by the law.
B. Records indicating the identity of library users may include, but are not limited to, a library users'
name, library card number, telephone number, email address or other electronic correspondence,
street address, post -office box number, or zip code.
C. Records held by the Library that include personally identifiable information about library users may
also contain information that must be provided to those who request that information, as required
by Wisconsin's Public Records Law. Personally identifiable information about library users must be
redacted from any records that are publicly disclosed, except as the records are disclosed under
one of the exceptions provided in Wisconsin State Statutes Section 43.30.
D. Once there is no longer a need for the information, personally identifying records are destroyed.
Emails and other electronic correspondence sent to Library staff may be subject to open records
requirements.
E. To receive a library card, library users are required to provide identifying information such as
name, birth date, photo ID, and physical as well as mailing address (if different). The identifying
information is retained, as long as the library user continues to use the library card. In most cases
the information will be in the database for a maximum of three years after the person stops using
the library card at which time the record is deleted.
A library user's circulation record includes current identifying information, items currently checked
out' or on hold, as well as overdue materials and fines.
G. Ninety (90) days after an item is returned, the Library System deletes the checkout from the item
history log. If the item had associated fines or fees, the fine or fee transactions are saved.
H. The Library may also gather information necessary to provide a requested service to a library user
including but not limited to the following examples:
1. Records of electronic access information such as the library card number used to log into a
library database
2. Records for interlibrary loan requests or reference services
3. Records needed to sign up for or participate in library classes and programs
4. Records for use of meeting rooms
5. Records for receiving emails and/or text messages about library services and programs
The Library may collect or retain private and personally identifiable information without the
patron's consent in the case of an incident on Library property, such as accident, injury, or public
disturbance.
'Patron records show current checkouts. When an item is returned, it is removed from the patron's checkout list. However,
patrons who sign up for the reading history service will have their checkout history saved instead of purged. The user has the
option to turn off the service and delete their reading history at any time.
IV. Access to Accounts and Patron Responsibility
A. Protecting a Patron Account
1. It is the patron's responsibility to notify the Library immediately if a library card is lost or stolen
or if they believe someone is using the card or card number without permission.
2. Rules to be Followed by Library Staff
a) As required by Wisconsin State Law, library staff may only disclose library records indicating
the identity of library users under the conditions stated in section II(A) of this policy.
b) Library staff must refer all requests for library records and all requests for information
about particular library users to the Library Director or the Library Director's designee,
except requests from custodial parents or guardians of children under the age of 16
whereby the Library must disclose pursuant to Wisconsin State Statute 43.30 (4) and as
described in Section II(C)(2) of this policy.
c) Library staff are not allowed to disclose information about use of library resources and
services by library patrons except as necessary for the performance of their job duties and
in accordance with procedures approved by the Library Director and/or Library Board.
d) If there is human life or safety at risk, the Library Director or their designee may release
library records to law enforcement officials without a Court Order under exigent
circumstances after consultation with the City Attorney.
3. Staff procedure for complying with law enforcement requests for identifying information can
be found in Appendix A of this policy.
B. Keeping Account Information Up -To -Date
A patron may access their personally identifiable information held by the Library and is responsible
for keeping the information accurate and up-to-date. The purpose of accessing and updating
personally identifiable information is to ensure that library operations can function properly. A
patron may view or update their personal information in person. They may be asked to provide
some sort of verification or identification card to ensure verification of identity. Library accounts
expire every 18 months, at which point the patron will be alerted to renew their account and
review their personal information.
C. Parents and Children
For the protection of patrons, parents seeking records of their minor child, under age 16, may be
asked to provide proof of their child's age as well as evidence they are the custodial parent.
According to Wisconsin State Statute 43.30(lb)(1)(ag) "Custodial parent" includes any parent other
than a parent who has been denied periods of physical placement with a child under Wisconsin
State Statute s.767.41(4).
D. Items on hold
Items placed on hold for library patrons are shelved by the patron's initials for pick-up in the
public area of the Library. Patrons of any age may choose to have other people pick up their
holds. Holds will be checked out on the library card presented at the time of check-out.
V. Public Computer Use and the Library's Automation Systems
A. The Library routinely and regularly purges information that may be linked to library users, such as
information from web servers, mail servers, computer time management software, interlibrary loan
requests, and other library information gathered or stored in electronic format.
B. The Library System
The Library System maintains the online catalog and a number of databases. The Library System
automatically collects and maintains statistical information about library users' visits to the library
catalog and databases. This information includes the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the visitor,
the computer and web browser type, the pages used, the time and date, and any errors that
occurred. This information is used for internal reporting purposes and individual users are not
identified. Network traffic is monitored to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or otherwise
damage the web service. If a library user chooses to pay fines and fees via credit card, the credit
card number is not stored in the user's library account; it is simply passed through to the payment
processor.
C. Websites
1. The Library's website contains links to other sites including third party vendor sites. The Library
is not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites which may be different from the
privacy practices described in this policy. The Library encourages library users to become
familiar with privacy policies of other sites visited, including linked sites.
2. The Library website does not collect personally identifying information from visitors to the
website unless the patron requests a service via the Library website. The Library may collect
non -personal information from visitors to the website for statistical analysis, site assessment,
server performance, authentication, troubleshooting, and other management purposes.
Examples of non -personal information collected include IP address of the computer, the type
and version of browser and operating system the computer uses, geographical location of the
network used to link to the Library's site, and time and date of the access. There is no link to
personally identifiable information in computer communications, unless a patron has provided
that information in the content of a transaction, for example, filling out an online form to
request a service.
3. The Library uses temporary "cookies" to maintain authentication when a patron is logged in to
the online catalog. A "cookie" is a small text file that is sent to a user's browser from a website.
The cookie itself does not contain any personally identifiable information. Other electronic
services offered by the Library through third party vendors may use "cookies" to help control
browser sessions. Websites may use the record of "cookies" to see how the website is being
accessed and when, but not by whom.
4. Library database users are asked for their library card number to ensure that only authorized
users have access. Database vendors do not have access to any user records or information.
5. The Library and the Library System work with a variety of partners to provide e-content (e.g. e-
books, e-audios, e-music, e-videos, e-magazines) to users. Prior to checking out any of the
Library's e-content users should read the privacy policy of the company that is providing the
service. For example, users who check out e-books from the Wisconsin Digital Library for use
on their Kindle (or via a Kindle app) will receive those e-books via Amazon. Amazon's privacy
policy describes the kind of information that is collected and stored in connection with such
transactions. However, all other e-book formats within the OverDrive collection do not collect
this information.
D. Wireless Access
1. The Library offers free wireless access (Wi-Fi) for library patrons to use with their own personal
mobile devices. These access points are unsecured. A patron's use of this service is governed
by the Library's internet policy.
2. Due to the proliferation of Wi-Fi networks, library users may also be able to access other Wi-Fi
networks within the building that are not provided by the Library. Use of these non -Library
wireless networks within the Library's facilities is also governed by the Library's internet policy.
3. As with most public wireless "hotspots," the Library's wireless connection is not secure. Any
information being transmitted could potentially be intercepted by another wireless user.
Cautious and informed wireless users should choose not to transmit personal information
(credit card numbers, passwords and any other sensitive information) while using any wireless
"hotspot." Use of the Library's wireless network is entirely at the risk of the user. The Library
disclaims all liability for loss of confidential information or damages resulting from that loss.
E. Other services
Some patrons may choose to take advantage of RSS feeds from the Library's website, hold and
overdue notices via e-mail or text message, and similar services that send personally identifiable
information related to library use via public communication networks. Patrons should also be
aware that the Library has limited ability to protect the privacy of this information once it is outside
the Library's control.
VI. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
The Library uses RFID technology to secure and circulate its collection. The only information stored on the
RFID tag is the item barcode and a security bit that indicates if the item is in or out of the library. RFID
technology is not used in library cards.
VII. Library Photos and Recordings
The Library may take photos and/or recordings at library programs and events and they may be posted to
the website or used in promotions. Patrons are advised to step to the side or notify library staff members
if they do not wish to be in photographs.
VIII. Video Surveillance
A. In order to maintain a safe and secure Library, selected public areas of the Library building and
property may be under continuous video surveillance and recording.
B. The Library does not use surveillance cameras to monitor, track, or profile patron use of library
resources beyond operational needs related to safety and security.
C. All footage recorded by the Library surveillance camera(s) is considered a "record" under
Wisconsin State Statute 19.32(2) and is subject to Wisconsin's Public Records Law in Chapter 19 of
the Wisconsin State Statutes.
D. Images from the Library surveillance system may be stored digitally on hardware in the Library.
Footage is retained according to the applicable Records Disposition Authorizations approved by
the Wisconsin Public Records Board, FAC00082 and FAC00082A. It is the intent of the Library to
retain all recorded images for a minimum of thirty (30) days, or until image capacity of the system
is reached. Then, the oldest stored images will be automatically deleted by system software to
make room for new images. Typically, images will not be routinely monitored in real-time, nor
reviewed by Library staff, except when specifically authorized by the Library Director.
E. While it is recognized that video surveillance will not prevent all incidents, its potential deterrent
effect, and resource as a means of identifying and prosecuting offenders, is considered worthwhile.
Video surveillance data that indicates the identity of any individual who borrows or uses the
library's documents or other materials, resources, or services are considered to be protected public
library records. Wisconsin State Statutes carefully define law enforcement officials' authority to
view surveillance data, and the Library will cooperate with law enforcement officials as permitted
by Wisconsin State Statute 43.30 (5) in two specific circumstances:
1. Upon the request of a law enforcement officer who is investigating criminal conduct alleged to
have occurred at a library supported in whole or in part by public funds, the library shall
disclose to the law enforcement officer all records pertinent to the alleged criminal conduct
that were produced by a surveillance device under the control of the library.
2. If the library requests the assistance of a law enforcement officer, and the Director of the library
determines that records produced by a surveillance device under the control of the library may
assist the law enforcement officer to render the requested assistance, the library may disclose
the records to the law enforcement.
G. See Appendix B for "Surveillance Camera Usage Procedures."
IX. Illegal Activity Prohibited and Not Protected
Patrons may conduct only legal activity while using library resources and services in accordance with the
Library's Code of Conduct and Computer and Internet Use policies. Nothing in this policy prevents the
Library from exercising its right to enforce its Rules of Behavior, protect its facilities, network and
equipment from harm, or prevent the use of library facilities and equipment for illegal purposes. The
Library can electronically log activity to monitor its public computers and external access to its network
and reserves the right to review such logs when a violation of law or library policy is suspected. Staff is
authorized to take immediate action to protect the security of library patrons, staff, facilities, computers
and the network. This includes contacting law enforcement authorities and providing information that
may identify the individual(s) suspected of a violation.
X. Enforcement and Redress
Patrons with questions, concerns, or complaints about the handling of their personally identifiable
information or this policy may file written comments with the Library Director. A response will be sent in a
timely manner and the Library may conduct an investigation or review of practices and procedures. The
Library conducts such reviews as necessary to ensure compliance with the principles outlined in this policy.
The Library Director is custodian of library records and is authorized to comply with public records
requests or inquiries from law enforcement officers. They may delegate this authority to designated
members of the Library's management team. The Library Director confers with the City Attorney before
determining the proper response to any request for records. The Library will not make library records
available to any agency of State, Federal, or Local Government unless a Subpoena, Warrant, Court Order
or other investigatory document is issued by a Court of competent jurisdiction, showing good cause and
in proper form. All library staff are trained to refer any law enforcement inquiries to the Library Director or
their designee.
XI. Policy Changes
This Privacy Policy may be revised to reflect changes in the Library's policies and practices or to reflect
new services and content provided by the Library. Patrons are encouraged to check this document
periodically to stay informed of the Library's current privacy guidelines.
Adopted May 16, 2017
Revised XXXXX, 2026
XII. Appendix A
Muskego Public Library
Procedures for Complying with Law Enforcement Request for
Information
The Library staff will comply with requests for patron information received from law enforcement when such
request is made in the form of a Subpoena, Search Warrant, or upon receipt of an order signed by a Court
having jurisdiction. They will follow the procedures detailed below.
Consistent with Wisconsin State Statute 43.30 and the Library's Privacy Policy, the provisions of this
procedure shall not be construed to prevent disclosure of information where any of the following apply:
Requested by law enforcement officer who is investigating criminal conduct alleged to have occurred
at the Library. In such event, the Library may disclose to the law enforcement officer all records
pertinent to the alleged criminal conduct that were produced by a surveillance device under the
control of the Library.
2. The Library requests the assistance of a law enforcement officer, and the Director of the Library, or
their designee, determines that records produced by a surveillance device under the control of the
library may assist the law enforcement officer to render the requested assistance. In such event, the
Library may disclose such (surveillance) records to the law enforcement officer.
3. Where the Library has referred a delinquent account of $50.00 or more to law enforcement in
accordance with the Library's Privacy Policy. In such event, the law enforcement officer may be
provided with the individual's name, contact information, the amount owed to the Library, and the
quantity and type (but not the titles) of documents or material that are overdue.
Library Staff Procedures:
1) Staff receiving any request from someone alleging to be a law enforcement official requesting
information will immediately contact the Director. In the Director's absence, the highest-ranking staff
member on duty is responsible for working with the requestor.
a) Law enforcement officers may be requested to provide official identification and/or credentials
satisfactory to the Library Director or designee.
2) If the law enforcement officer does not have a legitimate Court Order, Subpoena, or Search Warrant
compelling the production of records, the Library Director or designee shall explain the confidentiality of
Library records under Wisconsin State Statute 43.30, detailed in the Privacy Policy, Section II.
a) The Library Director or designee will thereafter request that the law enforcement officer obtain the
necessary documentation.
b) Staff will not disclose any information to law enforcement personnel without a verified Court Order,
Subpoena, or search warrant.
3) If the law enforcement officer presents a legitimate Court Order, the Library Director, or designee, will
contact the City Attorney for advice on how best to proceed.
a) Staff will request that the law enforcement officer wait until the City Attorney is contacted before
proceeding with providing information in order to allow counsel an opportunity, if necessary, to
examine the court order and provide guidance.
b) If the City Attorney is not available, and the situation requires that immediate action be taken, staff
may review the Court Order and verify what information is to be released. Otherwise, the matter will
be on hold until a response is received from the City Attorney.
c) Make a copy or keep the original court order to provide to the City Attorney.
4) If the law enforcement officer presents a Subpoena, the Library Director, or designee, will contact the City
Attorney for advice on how best to proceed.
a) Staff will request that the law enforcement officer wait until the City Attorney is contacted before
proceeding with providing information in order to allow counsel an opportunity, if necessary, to
examine the Subpoena and provide guidance.
b) It is desirable for legal counsel to be present when the Subpoena is executed. In the event that the
City Attorney is not available, the legal counsel for the American Library Association will be contacted
at 800-545-2433 x4223.
5) If the court order is in the form of a Search Warrant the law enforcement officer may begin search of the
library records described in the Search Warrant immediately.
a) Staff will inform the Library Director, or designee, who will contact the City Attorney, and will attempt
to have legal counsel present in order to allow counsel an opportunity, if necessary, to examine the
Search Warrant, assure that the search conforms to the terms of the Search Warrant, and be present
during execution of the Search Warrant. If the situation requires immediate action such that time does
not allow for this, the search may be allowed to proceed.
i) Staff may request that the law enforcement officers wait until the City Attorney is contacted
before the search begins. The law enforcement officials are not required to follow the staff request
to delay the search.
ii) It is desirable for legal counsel to be present when the Search Warrant is executed. In the event
that the City Attorney is not available, the legal counsel for the American Library Association will
be contacted at 800-545-2433 x4223.
b) The Library Director or designee will cooperate with the search to ensure that only the records
identified in the Search Warrant are produced and that no other library records are viewed or
scanned.
c) The Library Director or designee will send the Search Warrant (or a copy) to the City Attorney.
d) Library staff should not interfere with the search and/or seizure of Library property.
e) The Library Director or their designee will inventory any items removed from the Library property as a
result of the Search Warrant.
6) If the Court Order is a Search Warrant issued under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA)
(USA Patriot Act amendment), the same procedure as used for a Search Warrant applies.
a) This type of Search Warrant also contains a "Gag Order." As a result, no person or institution served
can disclose that the warrant has been served or that records have been produced.
b) The Library and Staff must comply with this order. No information can be disclosed to any other party,
including the patron whose records are the subject of the Search Warrant. Failure to comply exposes
individuals to criminal and civil penalties under the USA Patriot Act.
c) The Gag Order does not change the Library's right to legal representation during the search. The City
Attorney should be called immediately, although the FBI does not have to wait until the Library
receives legal counsel before acting on the Court Order. The Library has the right to contact an
attorney which is not a breach of the Gag Order because conversations are covered by the attorney -
client privilege.
d) If the City Attorney cannot be reached, the Library Director or designee, will call the ALA Office for
Intellectual Freedom (OIF) at 800-545-2433 x4223 and state only "I need to speak with an attorney."
The OIF will put the caller in touch with an attorney familiar with FISA.
e) The staff member should not inform OIF staff of the existence of the warrant.
7) Except with regard to any FISA Search Warrant, the Library will keep a record of all law enforcement
requests and all costs incurred by any search and/or seizures, including time spent by Library staff
assisting in the search or the inventorying of items.
Emergency Disclosures of Communication
Notwithstanding any provision of this policy to the contrary, if any Library staff observes what could
reasonably be construed as a threat of imminent danger to life such that exigent circumstances exist, the staff
member is to immediately alert local law enforcement through the 9-1-1 emergency response system and
then immediately inform the highest ranking Library personnel on duty. The highest ranking staff member on
duty should then immediately contact the Library Director. In such an instance, the Library reserves the right
to disclose otherwise protected personally identifiable information to law enforcement as deemed reasonably
necessary to prevent a threat of imminent danger from materializing.
XIII. Appendix B
Muskego Public Library
Surveillance Camera Usage Procedures
The Library's surveillance cameras generate a record of activities in monitored areas of the Library building
and property. In the event of illegal activities in these areas, it may be necessary to review the recordings.
Per Wisconsin State Statute 43.30 the Library is only able to release surveillance footage without a Court
Order under the following circumstances.
• Upon the request of a law enforcement officer who is investigating criminal conduct alleged to have
occurred at the Library. In this instance, the library shall disclose all records pertinent to the alleged
criminal conduct that were produced by a surveillance device under the control of the Library per
Wisconsin State Statutes Section 43.30(5a).
• If the Library requests the assistance of a law enforcement officer, and the Director of the Library
determines that records produced by a surveillance device under the control of the Library may assist
the law enforcement officer to render the requested assistance, the Library Director or their designee
may disclose the surveillance device records to the law enforcement officer per Wisconsin State
Statutes Section 43.30(5b).
This procedure details who may review the records and how they may be viewed and/or released to law
enforcement personnel.
Reviewing the Surveillance Camera Recordings
• In the event of suspicious or illegal activity being reported in areas covered by the surveillance
cameras, a staff member may request that the Library Director or their designee review the
recordings.
• Staff are not to review a security recording without the Library Director or their designee being
present.
Reviewing the Surveillance Camera Recordings with the Authorities
• In the event of suspicious or illegal activity being observed on review of the recordings, law
enforcement may be contacted.
In the event that law enforcement officers wish to review the recordings, the Library Director or their
designee will run the recordings of the incident while they, the staff member who made the initial
request, and the law enforcement officer are present.
Release of the Surveillance Camera Recordings
Upon a request by law enforcement to release the recordings in order to pursue further
investigations, the Library Director may release a copy to the requesting officer. The Library Director
must obtain name, signature, badge number, date, and time from the requesting officer and append
it to the Library incident report along with the notation "Surveillance recording released to: [name]".
Upon a request by those other than law enforcement, please refer to section II "Legal Protections and
Exceptions" of the Privacy Policy referring to Wisconsin State Statute 43.30 and under what
circumstances such Library records may be disclosed.
Background on Waukesha County Library Standards Endorsement
The Board voted to approve their endorsement of the Waukesha County Library Standards in March.
Per the attached memo from Brittany Larson, Director of the Bridges System, "the first draft of
standards within the plan proposed to the Waukesha County Library Boards was not endorsed by
enough libraries that represented enough of the population per statute." This means that the committee
reconvened in late March and early April to review feedback from said Boards. Based on that feedback,
the committee voted to maintain the FTE minimum at its current number, rather than the reduction
they had initially presented.
The minimum standards are now coming back to the Board for a new endorsement. Attached you will
find the memo from Brittany, as well as the updated Waukesha County Library Standards draft.
Changes have been highlighted throughout, with the main updates occurring on pages 26-27 and page
37. Below is the updated chart for Muskego Public Library, located on page 56 of the draft.

Re: Proposed Library Standards for Waukesha County Library Board Endorsement Consideration
Waukesha County Board Chair James Heinrich appointed a Library Planning Committee in the
summer of 2025 based on the need to update the County Library Services Plan as set forth in Wis.
Stat. 43.11. The 13-member Committee worked on the Plan from August 2025 through April 2026.
Within the plan includes a proposed revision of county library standards. These proposed standards
go into effect if adopted by the Waukesha County Board of Supervisors and the Waukesha County
libraries, following the parameters outlined in Wis. Stat. 43.11(3)(d):
The plan of library services for a county may include minimum standards of operation for
public libraries in the county. The county shall hold a public hearing on any standards
proposed under this paragraph. The standards shall take effect if they are approved by the
county and the public library boards of at least 50 percent of the participating municipalities
in the county that contain, according to the most recent estimate prepared under s. 16.96, at
least 80 percent of the population of participating municipalities in the county.
A public hearing was held on February 3rd. The first draft of standards within the plan proposed to
the Waukesha County Library Boards was not endorsed by enough libraries that represented
enough of the population per statute. The Committee met again in March to consider library board
feedback provided on the standards. A common theme of concern in this feedback across many
library boards was the FTE reduction. Th Committee heard this feedback and restored the FTE back
to the current values. A new five-year County Library Services Plan was endorsed by the
Committee on April 6, 2026, after a second public hearing was held, moving the FTE standard back
to its original level.
In summary, this endorsed Plan proposes a reduction to three of the numerical Minimum to Exempt
Standards measures and maintaining the levels of three others. Each of these was reviewed
carefully by the Committee. Table 1 below shows a summary of the recommended Minimum to
Exempt Standards.

Measure

OPTIONAL: Library Service Effort Ratio (LSER)
(Replaces all Minimum to Exempt Standards listed above.)
Maintained, see pages 19-21 of plan draft
It is important to note that these proposed numeric benchmarks remain Minimum to Exempt
Standards. They are not proposed as aspirational goals, but baseline expectations.
The proposed plan also calls for a continuation of the six Quality Assurance Standards to help
ensure the County libraries are well managed and accountable (see page 31 of the plan draft).
Below are the Quality Assurance Standards the library board would be asked to certify annually:
• Library board members receive an orientation upon appointment to a library board.
• The library's website includes contact information of key staff and board members as well as
board agendas and minutes.
• The library board conducts an annual review of its library director.
• The library budget includes funding to ensure professional development for the library
director and staff.
• The library has an active strategic plan.
• The library adopts the core policies included in the Wisconsin Public Library Tier One
Standards: 1) Circulation, 2) Collection Management, 3) Computer/Internet Use, 4) Meeting
Room Use (as necessary), 5) Public Behavior (Rules of Conduct), and 6) Personnel.
In order for a library's municipality(ies) to qualify for exemption from the county library tax levy, the
library must meet all of the Quality Assurance Standards above, as well as the first six numerical
Minimums to Exempt Standards or the optional LSER in Table 1. The LSER is a mathematical
calculation of the residents' use of libraries other than their own. If a library meets its target ratio,
its municipal residents are not imposing an undue burden on neighboring libraries.
While the goal of the Plan is to assure that all libraries are operating at or above the Minimums to
Exempt and are meeting all Quality Assurance Standards, the Plan recognizes that some libraries
may suffer an occasional one-year setback. Therefore, the Plan allows a library a one-time exception
during this county library plan cycle from meeting each of the Minimums to Exempt standards and
Quality Assurance Standards. The Plan also allows for additional exceptions for unanticipated events
such as a worldwide pandemic. However, if the LSER is chosen by a library in lieu of meeting the first
six numerical Minimums to Exempt, an exception may not be applied to meeting the LSER target
ratio.
49
Finally, all standards requirements are in addition to the library's municipal requirement to meet or
exceed the county library tax rate as required in Wis. Stats. 43.64 (2) or, in the case of a joint library,
to fund its library at not less than the average of the previous three years as allowed in 43.64 (2) (c).
To assist you in understanding what your library's 2027 requirements would be, your library's
Minimums to Exempt (based on 2025 Wisconsin Department of Administration population data) are
shown in Appendix D of the plan draft (pages 48-53). A sample of how the LSER calculation works
(using the most recent data available: 2025 circulation data for 2026 levy exemption) is also shown
on pages 19-20 of the plan draft. Appendix C of the plan (pages 44-48) shows the Minimums to
Exempt criteria along with the requirements across the entire graduated population range should
you wish to project your community's growth over the next five years.
Because we hope to have the new plan in effect for the 2027 budget planning process, I request
your library board consider these standards for possible endorsement at your April meeting. I would
like to take this opportunity to thank your library director for their continued engagement in this
important process, as well as those library directors, trustees, municipal officials, and citizens that
sat on the committee or participated in thoughtful discussions throughout this planning term. Thank
you for your consideration. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Introduction
The Waukesha County Library Planning Committee recommends the following five-year plan
that will encourage public libraries to deliver a continued standard of excellence for all
residents. The value Waukesha County residents place on community and lifelong learning is
evident in the high usage of their public libraries. This plan will continue to reinforce this strong
foundation into the future.
Waukesha County libraries are municipal departments, governed by citizen boards appointed
by their municipality. While all Waukesha County libraries are locally governed by their citizen
boards, they take part in a two -county regional public library system that allows libraries to find
efficiencies, innovate, and share resources. This arrangement gives residents access to a richer
network of library services. Beyond a wider range of services, this collaboration also produces
fiscal responsibilities. The citizens receive the benefit of strong, locally supported libraries
without the undue burden that exists when one institution has the sole responsibility of
providing all services and materials to meet its own community's needs.
What role do public libraries play in the modern age? The public library's core mission has been
and continues to be supporting the information needs of a community. Despite improved
search engines, the introduction of artificial intelligence, and the increased amount of
information generated on the internet, libraries claim their own unique corner of the
information world. This is seen through early literacy development in storytimes, well -used
collections built by professionals for education and entertainment, access to technology
infrastructure as a community equalizer, and safe third spaces for work and community
gathering, all in response to growing acknowledgement of the ill effects isolation has on an
individual. There are many organizational entities that can replicate elements of the above
services, but public libraries are able to do so under one service profile and space, which allows
for adaptability, efficiencies, and cost effectiveness.
The mission of Waukesha County government is to promote the health, safety and quality of
life for citizens while fostering an economically vibrant community. Waukesha County
recognizes that strong local libraries are essential to the quality of life for its citizens and help
build strong, vibrant communities.
This Waukesha County library planning process reviewed historical trends and the current
landscape of library services to best predict how this plan could support strong library services
over the next five years. A reoccurring theme throughout this committee process was the
challenge of balancing the need to provide a plan framework that supports quality library
services against the reality of increasingly tight local budgets. While ultimately there are
proposed reductions in library service standards within this plan, it is not the intent of the
Committee to suggest that these reductions will support quality library services, and in fact may
reduce services. Instead, the proposed reductions are a response to challenging budgets and
the need to provide more flexibility to libraries and their library boards.

Role of the Wisconsin Public Library
Chapter 43 of the Wisconsin Statutes establishes the state's policy regarding public libraries.
Because Chapter 43 outlines certain responsibilities for counties in relation to library
services, it is important to note that the statute emphasizes:
❖ The importance of providing all of Wisconsin residents free access to knowledge,
information, and diversity of ideas;
❖ The critical role played by public, school, special, and academic libraries in
providing that access;
❖ The major educational, cultural, and economic asset that is represented in the
collective knowledge and information resources at the libraries in Wisconsin; and
❖ The most efficient and effective management of Wisconsin's library resources
occurs through resource sharing and collaboration.
Vision
Strong Libraries Build Strong Communities.
Waukesha County citizens are served by a vibrant system of well -managed, accessible, and
connected libraries that are essential to building strong communities.
Mission Statement and Core Values
Waukesha County supports and strengthens high quality library services to its citizens through
strong local libraries that offer a return on investment for taxpayers. All libraries are
committed to operating with these core values:
•'•
Excellence
•'•
Customer Service
Fiscal responsibility
•'•
Collaboration
❖
Integrity
•'•
Innovation
❖
Community Engagement
•'•
Connectivity
•'•
Inclusion

Statutory Requirements
Wisconsin Statutes Chapter 43.11 specifically addresses the requirements for county
library planning. While library service plans can address any appropriate issues, Chapter
43.11 requires that counties address at least the following in their county library plan:
❖ How public library service will be provided to residents of those municipalities
in the county not maintaining a public library (locally referred to as True Non -
Residents or TNR);
❖ The method and level of funding that will be provided by the county in order
to implement services described in the plan, including the reimbursement of
municipal libraries for providing library service to in -county and adjacent
county residents; and
❖ A method for allocating membership on the regional library system board
between the counties in the regional library system.
County Library Planning is further codified in the Waukesha County Code of Ordinances
(Chapter 11). This plan supersedes the Waukesha County Library Service Plan: 2022-2026.
Planning Process
County Board Chairman James Heinrich appointed a 13-member committee chaired by County
Supervisor Timothy Dondlinger to undertake this most recent Waukesha County library
planning effort. The committee met from August 2025 until February 2026. Seven meetings
were held during this planning process. Library input was solicited and received throughout the
process and meetings were open to the public. History from previous Waukesha County Library
Services planning processes can be found in Appendix A.
A public hearing was held on February 3rd, 2026, to receive public input on the plan prior to
approval by the Act 150 County Library Planning Committee. The plan then was presented to
the Waukesha County Board for approval on [INSERT DATE]
This plan contains recommended revisions to the County's mandatory library Minimum to
Exempt standards for exemption to the county library tax. Mandatory standards take effect if
they are approved by the County Board of Supervisors and the public library boards of at least
50% of the participating municipalities in the county that contain, according to the most recent
estimate prepared under Wisconsin state statute 16.96, at least 80% of the population of
participating municipalities in the county.

2027-2031 Plan Highlights
❖ A recommendation to implement a new Waukesha County Funding Distribution Formula
that has a goal of moving libraries closer to their unadjusted distribution goal.
❖ A recommendation to reduce the Materials Expenditure per Capita, FTE, Collection Size,
and Public Computer Minimums to acknowledge the need for more flexibility with tight
local budgets.
❖ A recommendation to retain the Hours Open and Wi-Fi Minimums as -is.
❖ A recommendation to retain the Quality Assurance Standards as -is, to help assure
accountability.
County Profile
Understanding the trends in the population of Waukesha County provides the background for
planning. The 2020 Census and 2023 American Community Survey from the U.S. Census
estimates, as well as the State of Wisconsin Department of Administration (DOA) website
showed following in Waukesha County:
• Approximately 417,230 people reside in Waukesha County, making it the third most
populous county in the state.
• The median age is 43.5 years old.
• 20.9% of Waukesha County's population is 65 years or older.
• 20.7% of Waukesha County's population is under 18 years of age.
• There are an estimated 168,150 households — the average family size is 3.01.
• Approximately 9% of the population is disabled.
• 13% of the population in the county are minorities.
• Median household income is $98,630. Median individual income is $51,358.
• The poverty rate is 5.8% of county residents.

County Library Services Profile
There are sixteen public libraries supported by eighteen municipalities in the county providing
library services (shown in Appendix E) to residents of Waukesha County. A resident may visit
any of these public libraries to seek information, materials, and services. The sixteen libraries
are located throughout Waukesha County (see Figure 1).

All Waukesha County residents who live in municipalities without libraries have access to the
same services as residents of municipalities with libraries, as a condition of those libraries'
membership in the regional public library system (per Wisconsin Statutes 43.15). These
municipalities without libraries are also called True Non Resident (TNR) Communities and are
shown in Figure 1 above.
Figure 2. Waukesha County Libraries
The municipal libraries (Figure 2) were created under the authority of Wisconsin Statutes 43.52
of the Wisconsin Statutes by their respective municipalities and are governed by duly appointed
library boards. The Pewaukee Public Library is a joint library between the Village and City of
Pewaukee. The Alice Baker Library is a joint library between the Town and Village of Eagle. A
single municipality operates each of the other libraries in Waukesha County. All public library
boards must include the local school district superintendent, or their designee, as a member. In
addition, one member of the municipal governing body may be appointed to the library board,
and up to two members may be non-residents of the municipality.
Waukesha County does not own/operate a public library. Instead, through its annual budget
process, it reimburses existing libraries for providing services to residents of those
municipalities that do not have libraries of their own. The county has authority to appoint
members to local municipal library boards in proportion to their level of funding as set forth in
Section 43.60 of Wisconsin Statutes. Waukesha County does take advantage of making
appointments when allowed by statute to ensure that it has a voice on a local library board it is
helping fund. For example, of the eleven trustees of the Pauline Haass Public Library in Sussex,
Page 9 of 66
60
four are Waukesha County appointees. See Appendix G for a chart of current library board
member amounts, amount of board members that are county appointments, and what percent
of each library's total budget is attributed to home county funding.
• As of 2026, 130,074 (31.18%) Waukesha County residents had library cards (cards active
in last three years).
• Approximately 28,839 (6.91%) Waukesha County residents are Overdrive users (primary
electronic book and electronic audiobook platform)
22% of the Waukesha County population live in communities without libraries
(hereafter known as True Non -Residents or TN Rs)
Regional Public library Systems
Regional public library systems operate according to Wisconsin Statutes. 43.13 - 43.24 and have
been in place in Wisconsin since 1971. The goal of library systems is to provide all Wisconsin
residents with access to high -quality library service needed to meet personal, work,
educational, and community goals. No county or public library is required to be a member of a
library system, yet all of Wisconsin's 72 counties and 381 public libraries are library system
members. Public library systems foster a strong network of resource sharing and mutually
beneficial interdependence among community public libraries. Wisconsin's fifteen public
library systems developed in distinct ways in response to the needs of their member libraries
and area residents. They continue to evolve and respond as changes in society, resources, and
technology create new demands and opportunities.
The Waukesha County Federated Library System (WCFLS) was formed in 1981 and operated as
a single county library system until 2016. On January 1, 2016, Waukesha and Jefferson
Counties joined to form the Bridges Library System, a federated library system that has all 24
autonomous municipal libraries working together to achieve efficiencies and collaborative
power for quality library services. A strong library system means strong library services for
citizens of both counties.
Currently, regional library system services for member libraries include management of the
shared automation system (CAFE), database management, materials delivery service,
professional development opportunities and resources, consulting services, inclusive services,
youth services, technology support services, marketing services, website hosting, cooperative
purchasing, provision of digital and online resources, provision of backup reference services,
and wide area network management.
The Bridges Library System is committed to supporting member libraries through the above
system services. System staff produce reports and maintain statistics within their management
areas that can be used by member libraries to assess performance and guide strategic
decisions, at both local and system levels. The regional library system board is kept up to date
Page 10 of 66

on the performance of Waukesha County libraries and the system as a whole. Performance
statistics are also provided during the Waukesha County library budget process.
Public Library Data Comparative Analysis
Waukesha County seeks to lead the way in terms of levels and types of library services as
measured by state data. Analyzing how Waukesha County compares to other similar counties is
important because it provides valuable context that takes into consideration what is happening
in library services from a high-level perspective.
Library data is collected annually from all libraries in the state of Wisconsin and submitted to
the Department of Public Instruction's Bureau of Libraries. In Wisconsin, the majority of digital
ebook and eaudiobook content is owned collectively statewide or systemwide with public
libraries and library systems financing access through license purchases. Usage of this digital
content is counted through verifiable electronic circulation, meaning any license used by a
patron can be tied to a specific library through software reports. Because all participating state
member libraries own the shared digital collections, electronic collection size is not reported on
the state annual report. Instead, the collection's existence is documented with yes or no
affirmations. In late 2025 some public libraries in the Bridges Library System began exploring
the purchase of individual licenses for local collections but it is too early as of the publication of
this report to remark on trends.
Comparing service data of counties within the state with similar service populations helps to
identify how the libraries in Waukesha are performing. Historically, the sixteen libraries in
Waukesha County have ranked highly on important library performance measures based on
state library data. Figure 3 provides Waukesha County information and rankings compared to
those of the thirteen most populous counties in Wisconsin, using the most recent data available
(2024) and comparing it to data from 2019, which was the data year used in the last county
library plan five years ago.
As seen in Figure 3, Waukesha County remains a leader in the state on library service
excellence. In many of these measures, performance rank has remained near the top of the
state and remained steady over the years. This suggests a commitment to stable and quality
library services. In areas where a rank has dropped (such as visits/capita) it should be noted
that this reflects a diversification in how residents use the library instead of a lack of interest in
library services, as both circulation per capita and circulation per visit have had percent
increases from 2019. While eContent use continues to be an area of growth and interest to
library users these metrics still show that physical checkouts and library visits remain vitally
important to Waukesha County residents, who rank second in the state for circulation per
capita.
Page 11 of 66
62
Efficiency and fiscal responsibility for libraries remain important as they serve a wide range of
ages, interests, and needs against tight local budgets. Waukesha County ranks second for
materials expenditure per capita, but eleventh for expenditures per circulation. Knowing that
Waukesha County ranks second in circulation per capita (meaning the investment in library
materials is warranted), the extremely low expenditure per circulation shows that the ROI on
the funds invested for the County residents is high. Public internet computers continue to be
reduced by Waukesha County libraries as more users bring their own devices and prioritize the
important utility of Wi-Fi in public libraries.
For the purposes of Figure 3, please note the following definitions:
❖ FTE stands for Full -Time Equivalent Employees indicated in library staffing levels.
❖ Circulation refers to the number of physical items checked out of libraries as opposed to
items downloaded through library -sponsored websites unless listed as e-content
circulation.
❖ Visits to libraries are recorded by attendance at the libraries, often by door counters.

Strategic Issue #1. County Funding Collection
Formula
Wisconsin public libraries are funded through a variety of sources. While local municipal
funding is usually the primary funding source, county funding is also a significant source of
funding to libraries (see Appendix G). County funding is required by state law, acknowledging
the library services provided to a large number of residents living in municipalities without
libraries. Act 150 introduced a requirement in state statute that sets forth a minimum rate at
which counties must tax communities without their own libraries for their residents' library use.
Waukesha County Ordinance 11-4 sets requirements beyond the minimum required in state
law. The ordinance can be found on the Waukesha County website under the Code of
Ordinances section.
The county library tax allows for exemption by library communities, if the community's tax for
its library appropriation meets or exceeds the county library tax mill rate from the prior year or,
in the case of a joint library, must not be less than the average of the previous three years. The
community's library must also meet or exceed any adopted county library standards authorized
by state statute and codified as enrolled Waukesha County Ordinance 11-6.
The County Library Planning Committee reviewed the current county library collection formula
and evaluated it against an alternative model. The Committee recommends the current
formula continue to be used. The amount collected from residents of Waukesha County
municipalities without their own libraries through the county library tax is determined by
multiplying the total amount of circulation to non -library community residents (TNR) as a
percentage of total countywide circulation of physical and electronic materials (Figure 6.) by the
Page 13 of 66
64
total allowable operating costs of all county libraries (Figure 5.). Figures 4-6 showcase the most
recent data available (for the 2026 budget process) to model the collection formula.
The circulation of both physical and electronic materials have been included in the collection
formula since 2022. By including both forms of circulation, the ratio of library use by residents
of non -library and library municipalities can be most accurately measured and provide a more
equitable reimbursement for library services. Figure 4 showcases TNR use of physical materials
only, to help illustrate where TNRs are doing library business in -person.

While circulation statistics are a verifiable driver of use of public libraries by all residents,
including TNRs, it should be acknowledged that libraries provide many other services across the
Page 15 of 66
66
county, including programming, meeting spaces, and technology and building infrastructure.
Libraries, including those that traditionally support large TNR communities, need to anticipate
all these needs beyond material circulation when funding library operations.
In addition to using county libraries, some Waukesha County residents use out -of -county
libraries. Most citizens choose to use libraries that are convenient to their home, workplace, or
school, irrespective of geographic/tax boundaries. Sometimes that library is across a county
line. Wisconsin Act 420 was enacted in 2005 and became Wisconsin Statutes 43.12 that
requires reimbursements across county lines. This law allows libraries to invoice an adjacent
county when residents of a non -library community in that county borrow items from libraries
across county borders. This provision is known as "cross -county payments" or "inter -county
funding." Libraries receive reimbursements based solely on the number of physical items
checked out to the non -library community residents. Libraries must be paid at a rate of 70% of
their operating costs based on circulation.
It is far less expensive to reimburse an existing library than to build and operate a new library.
Several libraries in Waukesha County are situated near one or more borders and provide
significant services to citizens who live in adjacent county areas without libraries. Waukesha
County libraries receive funding from those adjacent counties that is, in some cases, vital to
their ongoing operations.
For 2026, the Waukesha County budget amount for inter -county funding will be $41,682. That
amount was added to the county library budget request in accordance with Wisconsin Statutes
43.12 and paid to libraries in adjacent counties. By way of comparison, Waukesha County
libraries will receive $511,791 (in 2026) in funding from adjacent counties. This funding
remains critical to fair compensation for services in the region.
Goals and Objectives for Strategic Issue #1- County Funding Collection
Formula
Goal: Continue to collect data and make budget requests based on the formula set forth in
Ordinance 11-4, state law, and pre-existing contracts.
Objective: The regional library system staff will annually review and verify all adjacent county
library requests and incorporate reimbursements to non -county libraries into the county library
budget request.
Objective: The regional library system staff will annually review a contract with Prairie Lakes
Library System that compensates Waukesha County libraries for inter -county usage and
incorporate both revenues and expenditures in the county library budget as well as seek the
approval of the contract from the regional library system board.
Page 16 of 66
67
Objective: The regional library system staff will annually review all library allowable costs
information and circulation data (physical and electronic) and prepare the county library budget
request based on library certified data.
Objective: The regional library system will annually prepare the municipal exemption notices
and certification for compliance and report to the county the municipalities that qualify for the
exemption from the county library tax.
Goal: Support the continuance of inter -county payments in Wisconsin.
Objective: The regional library system staff will monitor, inform stakeholders, and advocate to
ensure that inter -county payments to libraries continue.
Strategic Issue #2. County Funding Distribution
Formula
Wisconsin Statutes 43.12 requires that the county set the method and level of county library
service funding, which must include reimbursement to public libraries for services to county
residents of municipalities that do not maintain a public library. In Waukesha County, this is
referred to as True Non -Resident (TNR) Library Circulation. According to the statute, each
library must receive a reimbursement of at least 70% of the local unit cost for its TNR
circulations (see Appendix H for the 70%-unit cost calculations for each library using 2024 data
for budget year 2026).
TNR Library Circulation is distinguished from Crossover Circulation, which refers to residents of
a library community using another community's library (either in -person or through interlibrary
loan). The circulation adjustments in the current formula allow for net crossover lenders to be
partially rewarded and for net crossover borrowing libraries to have their circulation amounts
partially reduced to compensate the net lenders.
In the current formula, a library is given credit for sharing its materials with other libraries.
Sharing allows libraries to achieve local savings and reduces unnecessary duplication. To
discourage libraries from relying too heavily on other libraries by not purchasing enough to
meet local demand and to compensate libraries which build strong collections that are
borrowed by residents of other library communities, interlibrary loan traffic (items shared from
one library to another via the system delivery services) is measured and factored into the
distribution formula. How much a library sends versus how much the library borrows is netted
and included as an element in the formula. Crossover Circulation (in -person and interlibrary
loan) and TNR Library Circulation all factors into the credit a library gets in the distribution
formula.
Page 17 of 66
68
In the 2017-2021 Plan, an administrative change was made to the distribution formula. Instead
of measuring the number of items transferred from one library to another (transits), the actual
number of circulations of inter -library loan items within Waukesha County is the data element
used. Because the automation system offers enough detailed reporting on the number of uses
and ownership of materials at each library, this data can be recorded and used to more
accurately measure a library's efforts to share with its partner libraries. Detailed information
that showed the use of each library's materials for 2016 was analyzed and it was determined
that this change offered the most accurate reflection of the data that gives credit to libraries
that collect and share their materials.
In the 2022-2026 Plan, the inclusion of verifiable electronic circulation was added to the
distribution formula for non -library residents (TNRs) to more accurately measure use and
distribute funds, starting in 2023. The current formula, in existence (with some alterations) for
many years, was created to address three (sometimes competing) objectives: fairness (taking
into account library circulation effort through cross -over lending/borrowing, interlibrary loan,
and TNR lending), stability in funding (5% or $5,000 caps on changes in funding mid -way
through the formula), and clarity (although multi -step, the formula is detailed explicitly in the
annual budget document and county code).
The current Committee extensively reviewed the current distribution formula. An issue was
raised to see if there could be greater progress made towards the fairness goal, identifying that
some libraries were below their funding goal based on their circulation efforts (called the
"unadjusted distribution goal") while others were funded past their unadjusted distribution
goal. A formula from Jefferson County was modeled, along with six other models that used
elements of the current Waukesha County distribution formula as a starting point. As models
were studied, progress towards the unadjusted distribution goal (calculated in an absolute
value ratio) was used to measure whether the new distribution formula was performing better
in this regard. After much discussion, the Committee recommends a new distribution formula
(Alternate F), outlined in Appendix B. This formula seeks to provide all libraries with an annual
stability adjustment to their levy distribution (as long as the tax levy increases) of 50% of the
allowable cost rate increase from the collection formula (subject to Act 150 Minimums), with
any remaining surplus funds going to libraries below their unadjusted distribution goal. The
purpose of placing a 50% cap on the allowable costs rate increase is to increase the likelihood
of producing a surplus and the amount of the surplus produced, thus making more progress
towards the unadjusted distribution goal.
The Committee respectfully requests that the next Act 150 Waukesha County Library Planning
Committee analyze the performance of the new distribution formula over the life of the plan,
to assess if it performed as intended or whether further adjustments need to be made to
balance fairness and stability.
Page 18 of 66
69
Goals and Objectives for Strategic Issue #2 — County Funding
Distribution Formula
Goal: Implement the new distribution form (Alternate F) to allocate county funding to libraries.
Objective: The regional library system will compile all required physical and verifiable electronic
circulation data to run the distribution formula.
Objective: The Waukesha County Budget Department will provide annual reporting on the
performance of the new distribution formula, with analysis on its objective towards fairness
through progress towards the libraries' unadjusted distribution goals.
Strategic Issue #3. Standards
The first Act 150 Committee recommended in 2000 that the county establish standards for
libraries based on the state library standards. The purposes were to ensure that all county
residents had access to at least a basic level of library service and, by doing so, to reduce the
level of crossover borrowing (use by residents of one community at another community's
library). In 2001, the Waukesha County Board adopted changes to Chapter 11 of the County
Code of Ordinances based on the recommendations of the Act 1S0 Committee. The library
standards reflected a rate of 85% of the basic level of the state numbers on the following four
standards: staffing level, hours of service, collection size, and materials expenditures.
Over the years the standards have been assessed and adjusted to meet the changing landscape
of library services. In 2021 the sub -committee recommended that the word "Standards" be
changed to the phrase "Minimums to Exempt" whenever possible to reflect the fact that
recommended levels are not aspirational in nature; they should be considered minimums.
While the statute describes the benchmarks as standards in 43.11 (3) (d), in the county library
plan and in conversation within Waukesha County they are better described as Minimums to
Exempt from the county library tax as allowed in Wisconsin Statutes 43.64 (2m).
In addition to the standards adopted, a Library Service Effort Ratio (LSER) was approved and is
described in Section 11-5 of the County Code. The LSER allows libraries an alternative method
of meeting the Minimums to Exempt. A library community that does not meet its numerical
standards can still claim exemption from the county library levy if it meets the LSER. The LSER is
calculated by adding the number of item loans by a library to its own residents to the number
of item loans to residents of other library communities and then dividing that sum by the total
number of items borrowed by the residents of that municipality at all libraries in the county.
The LSER allows library communities to retain exemption from the county library levy if their
residents do most of their library business at home. According to the county plan, if most of a
library's residents, most of the time, do most of their library business locally, the numerical
Page 19 of 66
70
standards will not apply. This is because residents will not be imposing any undue burden on
neighboring libraries.
❖ A ratio below 100% indicates that the community's residents are borrowing materials
from libraries other than their own and is referred to as a net borrowing community.
❖ A ratio over 100% indicates that the library is lending to other community's residents in
addition to their own residents and is referred to as a net lending community.

Because larger libraries are assumed to be better able to address the needs of their own
residents, population based LSER targets were developed. The population categories and

The current Waukesha County Library Planning Committee reviewed the LSER option and voted
to continue using it for the 2027-2031 plan.
At the time the Committee ended in early 2026, a statewide committee was being formed to
review the most recent 2018 state library standards. This work will occur throughout 2026.
Due to the timing of this state committee in comparison to the Waukesha County planning
process, the Waukesha County Library Planning Committee reviewed the current County
Minimums to Exempt standards, making suggested changes based on tightening local municipal
library budgets and the need for greater operational flexibility. The statewide standards can be
reviewed at the next planning process for comparison.
The Minimums to Exempt are based on population of the library municipality, rather than by
service area population, because the library's municipality is the primary source of funding for
libraries under the federated governance structure. The population from two years prior to the
levy exemption year is used to calculate the Minimums. This allows library leadership the
chance to know what their Minimums will be while budgeting for that levy exemption year.
Example: Use 2023 population to calculate 2025 Minimums to Exempt for Levy Exemption. In
mid-2024 when library leaders are planning their budget for 2025, the most recent DOA data
will be 2023).

After thorough review, the 2025 Waukesha County Library Planning Committee recommended
revisions to the county library Minimums to Exempt based on discussions with county public
Page 21 of 66
72
librarians and committee input. The Committee recommended reductions to the Materials
Expenditure Minimum, FTE Minimum, Collection Size Minimum, and Public Computer
Minimum. The Hours Minimum, Wi-Fi Minimum, and the Quality Assurance Standards were
retained in their current form.
The Minimums to Exempt for each factor based on a sliding population scale are shown in full in
Appendix C. Each library's proposed 2027 Minimums to Exempt are shown in Appendix D.
Materials Expenditures Per Capita
Expenditures on library materials, and the size of libraries' physical collections have continued
to change as a result of the growth in the size of digital collections. Yet, despite the continued
growth in electronic materials usage, libraries still have a significant demand for physical
materials. In 2025, physical circulation accounted for 83% of Waukesha County circulation to
Waukesha County residents. Libraries are expected to use their annual materials budget to
build a relevant current collection that is reflective of and responsive to their local community.
The Materials Expenditures Per Capita Minimum to Exempt measure is intended to ensure
libraries meet the current needs of the community by requiring libraries annually invest a
minimum funding level for the purchase of materials, including electronic materials, as
determined by materials expenditures based on the size of the municipal population. The
phrase "per capita" is defined as "for each person" in the population.
In the 2017-2021 plan, the first 10,000 of the population was calculated at the $6.00 per capita
amount and the decreased rate of $5.00 per capita was calculated on the portion of the
population over 10,000. For the 2022-2026 plan, to acknowledge rising costs of materials, the
committee recommended an inflationary increase. The first 10,000 of the population was
calculated at the $6.25 per capita amount and the decreased rate of $5.25 per capita was
calculated on the portion of the population over 10,000. The current Committee reviewed the
Materials Expenditures Per Capita Minimum thoroughly in the context of tightening local
budgets as well as the rising costs of materials due to inflation.
After much discussion, while inflation was acknowledged by the Committee, to create more
flexibility within tight local budgets the recommendation was made to reduce the Materials
Expenditure Per Capita Minimum to the 2023 minimums: $6.00 per capita for the first 10,000
population and $5.00 per capita on the portion of the population over 10,000.
A sample of the proposed Materials Expenditure Per Capita Minimums to Exempt based on
municipal population are shown in Figure 10. The complete population table for Materials
Expenditure per Capita requirements is shown in Appendix C. Individual library requirements
are shown in Appendix D.

Hours Open
The number of hours a library is open per week is an important factor in the level of service it
provides to citizens. Some libraries have reduced hours over the summer months in response to
community needs. Therefore, the requirement for the minimum number of hours open is
represented in average hours per week during the school year. The Hours Minimum was
reviewed by the current Waukesha County Library Planning Committee with the agreement
that it would remain the same as the previous plan. The minimums for the number of open
library hours per week based on population are shown in this chart. There is a base of 35 hours
for populations 0-2,499 to provide minimum available service hours across Waukesha County.
There are gradual one -hour increases starting at a population of 2,500, with two-hour bumps at
key population markers (noted in green). This is to ensure the pacing gets to a minimum
threshold of 60 hours for a population of 35,000 or above to meet the needs of growing
communities and provide library support in that area without providing an undue burden on
other library communities. The minimums for the number of open library hours per week
based on population are shown in Figure 11 and Appendix C. Individual library requirements
are shown in Appendix D.

Full Time Staff Equivalent (FTE)
Libraries are service -based institutions, which means having adequate staffing levels is a key
input measure requirement. For a library to effectively serve its community, the number of full-
time equivalent (FTE) staff should be related to the size of the population. It should be noted
that the Minimums to Exempt benchmark is based on the number of staff budgeted, not actual
employees. This allows for unforeseen circumstances such as staff vacancies.
In the 2022-2026 Library Services Plan, the FTE requirements had a minimum number of 2.0 FTE
regardless of the size of the library's municipal population. An increase of 1.0 FTE occurred for
each 1,000 of population above 2,000; based on the rationale that economies of scale are
achieved once a library reaches a certain size. Therefore, the rate of the incremental increase
was reduced at several population points and highlighted in green in Figure 12 below. The
incremental rate of increase was first reduced after the population hit the 10,000 mark. At that
point, the changes in staff required grew at a rate of approximately .10 per 500 population.
Once a population hit the 25,000 mark, the rate of increase is further reduced. At that
population point, the increases in staff required are reduced to a rate of .0095 per 500
population.
The current Committee reviewed the 2022-2026 FTE minimums. Having enough staff to handle
daily operations was considered important to contributing to overall success for countywide
library services. While the Committee analyzed potential options to reduce the FTE
requirement, feedback throughout the endorsement process indicated this would be a negative
impact for quality library services and the FTE Minimum was kept at the same level as the 2022-
2026 plan.
The sample of these proposed FTE requirements recommended by the Committee are shown in
Figure 12 below. The complete population table for FTE requirements is shown in Appendix C.
Individual library requirements are shown in Appendix D.

Collection Size
In 2016 around 93% of circulation in Waukesha County was from physical materials. In the
2022-2026 Waukesha County Library Services Plan, it projected that 86% of countywide
circulation was physical (using year-to-date 2021 data). Projecting on year-to-date 2025
circulation numbers, physical circulation is estimated to be 83% of all circulation. Despite
physical circulation still being the overwhelming primary driver of circulation use in Waukesha
County, demand is ever increasing for electronic materials. As such, county libraries have had to
reallocate their collection budgets to satisfy this growth, while still maintaining strong
physical collections.
In 2021, the Committee decreased the Collection Size Minimum for the 2022-2026 plan at the
lowest population tier by 7.14% based on the proportion shift from physical to electronic
circulation, with the rest of the incremental changes (highlighted in green in Figure 13)
remaining the same as the population grew. The incremental changes were defined as this: for
a population of 2,500 there is an incremental increase of 4,000 items per 500 population. At a
population of 10,000, the incremental increase is reduced to 1,000 items per 500 population. At
a population of 25,000 the increase is reduced to 800 items per 500 population. At a population
of 50,000 the increase is reduced to 500 items per 500 population. The reduction in the base
amount reduced the requirement for all libraries.
The current Committee explored another reduction of the Collection Size Minimum, in order to
acknowledge that libraries are investing in electronic materials at the expense of some physical
collection growth. The reduction selected was 8.5% (rounded up to the nearest one hundred).
This time the percentage reduction was applied across all population tiers. 8.5% was selected,
factoring in the 3% physical circulation proportion shift reduction from 2021 to 2025, and the
knowledge that over the life of the plan this number is likely to continue to shift more to digital
from physical. This reduction represents the redistribution of collection dollars into the
electronic materials medium and sunsetting of aging physical mediums such as CD audiobooks
and music CDs, while still providing an expectation of an investment into strong collections to
ensure quality library services for citizens across the County.
The Collection Size Minimum is designed to only observe physical collection size, due to the fact
that local library electronic collections are only just now being utilized in late 2025, are not
system wide, and have not had a chance to be assessed over time.
The incremental change points are highlighted in green in Figure 13 below. The complete
population table for Collection Size requirements is shown in Appendix C. Individual library
requirements are shown in Appendix D.

Number of Public Internet Computers
Public libraries continue to provide an essential bridge to critical daily technology needs of
county residents. The number of residents bringing their personal devices to public libraries for
work and study continues to grow. Yet it remains important for libraries to offer computers and
internet to equalize access for all residents. In addition, there are growing trends of citizens no
longer carrying printing/scanner/copying devices in home offices, and community members
often come in to use library public computers and internet to complete this business.
Page 29 of 66
80
In the 2022-2026 plan, the Public Computer Minimum was two computers for any size
population and an increase of one computer for every 2,000 people from the 4,000 population
tier onward. The current Committee decided to maintain the minimum number of two
computers for any size population, but after that reduce the minimum by 50% (rounding down
where there were halves). All devices available to the public with internet access qualify in a
library's count (i.e. computers, laptops, and tablets).
Figure 14 shows examples of the minimum numbers of public internet computers based on
population (only showing up to population size 22,500 based on space constraints). The
requirements for all population sizes are shown in Appendix C. Individual library requirements
are shown in Appendix D.

Wireless Internet Access
Public wireless Internet access is extremely important for all libraries. Many people have their
own devices and rely on libraries for their connection to the Internet. The Wireless Internet
(Wi-Fi) Minimum requires that county libraries of all size populations offer wireless internet
access as shown in Figure 15.

Quality Assurance Standards
Part of the Waukesha County library services plan includes Quality Assurance Standards.
Because these items are relevant to a library serving any size population and do not include
numeric benchmarks, they are checklist items. Each library board has to respond "yes" to the
requirement in order to meet the quality assurance standard. These Quality Assurance
Standards are important because they help ensure that the libraries in the county will be well
managed and accountable throughout the life of the plan.
The current Quality Assurance Standards are:
❖ Library board members receive an orientation upon appointment to a library board.
❖ The library's website includes contact information of key staff and board members as
well as board agendas and minutes.
❖ The library board conducts an annual review of its library director.
❖ The library budget includes funding to ensure professional development for the library
director and staff.
❖ The library has an active strategic plan.
❖ The library adopts the core policies included in the Wisconsin Public Library Tier One
Standards: 1) Circulation, 2) Collection Management, 3) Computer/Internet Use, 4)
Meeting Room Use (as necessary), 5) Public Behavior (Rules of Conduct), and 6)
Personnel.
The current Committee reviewed the existing Quality Assurance Standards and voted to keep
them unchanged for the next plan.
Page 31 of 66

Standards Implementation
All Minimums to Exempt and Quality Assurance Standards set forth in this plan are
recommended to take effect January 111, 2027. They will be implemented dependent upon
adoption by the Waukesha County Board of Supervisors and the Waukesha County libraries as
required in Wisconsin Statutes 43.11(3)(d).
The plan of library services for a county may include minimum standards of operation for
public libraries in the county. The county shall hold a public hearing on any standards
proposed under this paragraph. The standards shall take effect if they are approved by
the county and the public library boards of at least 50 percent of the participating
municipalities in the county that contain, according to the most recent estimate
prepared under s. 16.96, at least 80 percent of the population of participating
municipalities in the county.
Libraries would be allowed a one-time exception during the county library plan cycle for each of
the standards items (the numeric Minimums to Exempt, as well as the checklist Quality
Assurance Standards). In other words, in one year a library could not meet the staffing level
and the planning requirements and still qualify for the county library tax exemption. However,
the library would need to meet both of those requirements for the remaining four years of the
plan. The following year, the library could not meet its materials expenditures requirement and
still qualify for the exemption because it had not used an exception on this item in a previous
yea r.
If conditions exist, such as the worldwide pandemic in 2020, that result in all or most libraries
being unable to meet a particular standard, libraries will still be able to claim the exemption
even if the one-time exception had been used previously. Additionally, any library that meets
its LSER ratio (as previously described) automatically qualifies for the county library tax
exemption relative to the Minimums to Exempt component of the requirement. Standards
requirements are in addition to the library's municipal requirement to meet or exceed the
county library tax.
Below are the steps established to implement the county library tax exemption based on the
requirement that a municipality meet the tax levy requirement as well as the adopted
Minimums to Exempt for its municipal population or LSER qualification for its municipal
population and meet the Quality Assurance Standards for all libraries.
• February - Libraries file state annual report indicating the necessary data for hours, staffing,
materials collection size, materials spending, number of computers and wireless access for
the previous year. Reports are due to the state by March 1.
Page 32 of 66
83
• May —The regional library system distributes to each library a letter indicating the library's
compliance with the Minimums to Exempt and LSER ratio based on the annual report of the
previous year and the certification form approved by the library board that it intends to
meet the Minimums to Exempt and the Quality Assurance Standards in the current year or
provide a plan for return to compliance.
• August — Tax levy exemption information is distributed to libraries and municipalities in
August. Exemption and standards compliance documentation is due by September 30 each
yea r.
• October —The library system communicates to the county those municipalities that have
met the requirements and are eligible to be exempt from the county library tax for the
following year's budget.
• November — Waukesha County Board of Supervisors sets the levy for the following budget
year. The levy includes exemptions to the county library tax levy for communities with
libraries that meet all criteria for exemption.
Goals and Objectives for Strategic Issue #3 — Standards
Goal: Revise the Waukesha County library standards to reflect the changing role of libraries, to
create new minimum acceptable levels of resource inputs for library services within the county,
and to provide quality assurance checks that will result in improved library services countywide.
Objective: The regional library system will seek the approval for the new Minimums to Exempt
and Quality Assurance Standards at every library in Waukesha County.
Objective: The regional library system will seek the approval of the Minimums to Exempt and
Quality Assurance Standards by the Waukesha County Board of Supervisors.
Goal: Monitor compliance with the Minimums to Exempt, Quality Assurance Standards, and
municipal requirement to meet or exceed county library tax rate.
Objective: The regional library system will annually certify whether each library and library
municipality has met its requirement to quality for the municipal exemption in the county
library tax.
Strategic Issue #4. Library Establishment
There are sixteen established public libraries in Waukesha County. Since 1986, our state law
has required county approval for a township to establish a library or form a joint library with an
existing library. However, cities and villages are not required to gain such approval.
Municipalities with libraries can choose to abolish those libraries at any time.
Page 33 of 66
84
State library law allows a county board to disallow a proposed library or a joint library that
includes one or more towns because of the potential impact that change could have on the
county library tax base. No such prohibition exists for cities and villages. They can form
libraries or join with existing libraries when they see fit.
It is critical that any proposed new library demonstrate that it can and will meet the county
library Minimums to Exempt and Quality Assurance Standards before it is eligible for exemption
from the county library tax.
Goals and Objectives for Strategic Issue #4— Library Establishment
Goal: Monitor the county library landscape for new library establishments or partnerships so
that all parties have the information needed for proper decision -making.
Objective: The regional library system will communicate information to all stakeholders about
potential new libraries so that there is adequate time for all parties to respond to potential
changes in funding.
Strategic Issue #5. Relationships with Others
While Act 150 and Act 420 provided much needed county funding for libraries in Wisconsin,
Wis. Stats. 43.12 does not completely address the issue of non-resident use of municipal
libraries. There are several exceptions that cause problems, especially in Waukesha County
along the northern and eastern borders.
While Wisconsin law requires county funding for adjacent county library usage, Milwaukee
County is excluded from the requirement. Communities that border Milwaukee County are
free to serve or not serve Milwaukee County residents based on a local library board decision.
Some libraries choose to serve residents of Milwaukee County because they believe the impact
to be minimal and the commitment to open access worthy of an "open door" policy. Some
libraries charge fees to residents of Milwaukee County in an attempt to receive some revenue
from the residents for whom they are not being reimbursed with tax dollars. Other libraries
choose not to serve Milwaukee County residents because they do not wish to have their
residents subsidize people who are not at least partially funding the service.
Act 420 also does not require county funding for library usage across borders in the case of two
communities with libraries that lie in close proximity to one another in separate counties and
separate library systems. In Waukesha County, this problem is most severe in the case of the
Menomonee Falls Public Library. The library is on the northeastern edge of the county,
bordering Washington and Milwaukee Counties. The Menomonee Falls Public Library does not
receive funding from Milwaukee County as previously described. Additionally, there are
residents from the Village of Germantown (a community with a library) who would use the
Page 34 of 66
85
Menomonee Falls Library if allowed to do so. Act 420 requires counties to pay for use by
residents of only those communities without libraries —not communities like the Village of
Germantown. The Menomonee Falls Public Library is allowed, by statute, to deny services to
residents of any municipality with a library if the circulation is 500 or more. The Menomonee
Falls Public Library board of trustees made the decision many years ago to deny library services
to the residents of Germantown after a number of efforts to receive reimbursement failed.
Looking at the southern edge of Waukesha County, the Bridges Library System board has a
long-standing agreement in place with Prairie Lakes Library System that adequately addresses
the cross -county borrowing issues along the southern border. That agreement is between the
two regional library systems and is reviewed/approved annually. On the western border, there
are no significant issues not being adequately addressed by the provisions in Act 420.
Ultimately, whether a library board chooses to provide library service to citizens who are not
providing any funding for that service is a local decision driven by philosophy and local
circumstances. Due to the desire to maintain strong local autonomy, the committee does not
recommend setting a countywide policy on whether local library service should be denied or
allowed in the event of an adjacent county funding situation.
Goals and Objectives for Strategic Issue #S — Relationships with Others
Goal: Ensure there is dialog in areas where there are denials of library service to citizens.
Objective: The regional library system will hold an annual meeting between Menomonee Falls
Library and Germantown Library to share information and understand what is allowed as
required by statute.
Objective: The regional library system will track the amount of usage by Milwaukee County
residents in Waukesha County and share the information with libraries.
Strategic Issue #6. CAFE Shared Automation
System
CAFE (Catalog Access for Everyone) is a shared integrated library system (ILS) created for the
benefit of all the libraries in the county and in the regional library system. There are currently
24 public libraries in the CAFE automation consortium from Waukesha and Jefferson County.
CAFE is a member -funded consortium. That member ownership is considered important due to
its essential role in the operation of a modern library. Not only does CAFE offer access to the
citizens to all the materials owned by all the 24 member libraries, but it also provides the
software for all circulation operations and related data gathering. Because CAFE does not rely
Page 35 of 66
86
on state funding, it is not at high risk in the event of changes to regional library systems funding
in Wisconsin. However, it is imperative that CAFE be sufficiently funded locally to ensure
stability in operations and membership fees.
Goals and Objectives for Strategic Issue #6 — CAFE Shared Automation
System
Goal: Continue to encourage CAFE cooperation and proper planning and funding to ensure it
remains a viable option for Waukesha County libraries.
Objective: At least once during the plan, the regional library system will evaluate the
effectiveness of CAFE from a user's perspective by conducting a user survey or other
appropriate data collection methods.
Objective: The regional library system will provide oversight for CAFE operations and will
annually set a CAFE budget that includes membership fees that provide sufficient funds to allow
for regular hardware and software replacement.
Strategic Issue #7. Regional Library System
Membership and Services
Waukesha County operated as a single county library system for almost 35 years until
December 31, 2015. As such, there was not separation of the county library services and the
regional library system. In fact, all county library administrative duties have been handled by
the regional library system and the regional library system board has acted as a de facto county
library board. Duties and roles between the various partners were clarified as a result of adding
Jefferson County to the regional library system in 2016. Waukesha County was selected to be
the fiscal agent for the newly formed regional library system. The regional library system staff
was charged with carrying out the duties related to county library services as requested by the
counties. Regional library system board member allocation was agreed upon between
Waukesha and Jefferson Counties. Per Wisconsin Statute, the allocation is based on
approximate population: Waukesha County has eight seats on the library system board and
Jefferson County has three seats on the library system board. The ratio is to be revisited with
each census.
The merger of the two counties was successful because it offered efficiencies that translated to
reduced costs for local libraries, additional access to resources for citizens, and additional
revenue in excess of expenditures that could be used to fund carefully selected strategic
priorities.
Page 36 of 66
87
At any given time there are a multitude of library professional conversations going on
statewide, between one or more regional systems, with the state Bureau of Libraries, or state
workgroups looking to find opportunities to innovate and collaborate with a goal of improved
library services. The regional library system plays a key role in being present for these
conversations, communicating relevant information back to member libraries, and helping
facilitate member library engagement with these opportunities.
Goals and Objectives for Strategic Issue #7 — Regional Library Systems
Goal: Regional library system staff will be present for statewide library conversations and help
communicate opportunities to member libraries.
Objective: The regional library system staff will participate in state library workgroups as
available, representing the interests of Waukesha County libraries.
Objective: The regional library system staff will engage with State DPI Bureau of Libraries staff
and other state regional public library system staff to remain connected to current library
statewide conversations and identify opportunities for innovation and collaboration.
Plan Implementation
This county library plan will be presented for adoption to the Waukesha County Board of
Supervisors upon approval by the county library planning committee. It will be filed with the
Department of Public Instruction to meet the state's county library planning requirements. A
separate process will be used for the adoption of the revised county library standards. Because
local library board action, in addition to county board approval, is required for library
standards, that process will take additional time. In the event the county library standards are
not approved (in accordance with the requirements in the statute), the current library
standards will remain in place. In the event of that scenario, the county board of supervisors
has the option to form a new county library planning committee or revive the past committee
to review the standards and make new recommendations. Until and unless new standards are
adopted in accordance with state statute requirements, the most recently adopted standards
will remain in place.
Review of the Plan
This plan will be reviewed annually by the regional library system board. This is a five-year plan,
and the expectation is that a new plan will be approved prior to the expiration of this plan. In
the event of a change in library systems in the state of Wisconsin that results in a change to
Waukesha County's ability to rely on its regional library system to help support this plan, a
county library planning committee will be convened to study options and create a new county
library plan for consideration and approval by the Waukesha County Board of Supervisors.

Appendices
Appendix A
Waukesha County Library Planning History
Six county library plans have been approved in Waukesha County since the adoption of the
1998 Act 150 that changed Wisconsin library law requiring county library planning. The
planning history for the previous plan (2022-2026) can be found below, and the entire
Waukesha County Planning History can be found in Appendix A.
2001-2003 Plan
County Board Chair James Dwyer appointed the first Act 150 Committee, chaired by Karen
McNelly. It met from September 1999 to March 2000. The committee made 15
recommendations. The main recommendations were:
• Retain the current federated status of the library system;
• Adopt a formula for collecting funds by a special county levy on the residents of the
19 communities without their own libraries;
• Adopt a formula for distribution of this funding to 16 county libraries;
• Adopt standards for library services;
• Study a shared automation system for county libraries; and
• Create a capital costs study committee.
The County Executive vetoed the standards provision, but the standards were re -introduced
with a modification and passed by the County Board in 2001, for 2002 budget purposes.
2004-2006 Plan
County Board Chair James Dwyer appointed the second Act 150 Committee, chaired by Ken
Herro. It met from September 2002 to March 2003. The committee made 15
recommendations. The main recommendations were:
• Retain the current federated status of the library system;
Page 38 of 66
89
• Freeze the standards implementation schedule while state tax caps are in place.
Lacking the freeze, the standards would have risen to the 90% level but were frozen
at the 85%;
• Require any proposed new library to demonstrate that it can and will meet the
standards established for Waukesha County before it is eligible for exemption from
the county library levy;
• Retain the "Best Fit" formula for distributing to libraries the funds that are collected
by a special county levy on the residents of the communities without their own
libraries;
• Create a shared automation system for county libraries; and
• Create a capital costs study committee.
In August of 2003, the County Board approved a Capital Cost Study Committee. The County
Board approved the capital costs proposal, but County Executive Finley vetoed it and the
County Board sustained the veto.
2007-2011 Plan
County Board Chair James Dwyer appointed the third Act 150 Committee, chaired by Paul
Kanter. It met from September 2005 to March 2006. The committee made 15
recommendations. The main recommendations were:
• Continue the standards implementation freeze;
• Establish a committee to review the formula for distribution of funds to county
libraries;
• Encourage the CAFE Council to evaluate the effectiveness of the CAFE shared
automation system and share the results with the WCFLS (Waukesha County
Federated Library System) Board;
• Encourage the strengthening and improving of one automation system shared by all
libraries in the county; and
• Defer consideration of WCFLS' organizational form, local autonomy statement and
library establishment until after the final result of the Library Governance Options
report.
The committee reconvened in the fall of 2006 for consideration of these issues after the
conclusion of the Library Governance Options Study. Major recommendations were:
• Remain a federated library system;
• Reaffirm local library autonomy;
• Establish a capital cost reimbursement program as included in the Act 150 report;
and
Page 39 of 66
90
• Adopt a provision for payments to libraries in adjacent counties as required in newly
enacted state law 43.12(2), also known as Act 420.
In August of 2007, the County Board approved the resulting Capital Costs proposal, but
County Executive Vrakas vetoed it and the County Board sustained the veto.
2008 - County Library Funding Committee
The County Board adopted the Waukesha County Library Services Plan (2007-2011) in June
of 2006. It called for a re-examination of the then -current "Best -Fit" funding distribution
formula in ordinance (11-4) that had been in place since 2000. The plan recommended that
the County Board appoint a committee, chaired by County Supervisor Bill Mitchell. The
Committee met from January 2008 to April 2008. The committee considered nine options,
and its recommendations were:
• Implement a new formula for funding year 2009. The County Board agreed and
passed an ordinance to this effect in June of 2008; and
• Appoint a new committee in three years to review the formula again for 2012
funding.
2012-2014 Plan
County Board Chair James Dwyer appointed the fourth Act 150 Committee, chaired by
Richard Brandt. It met from March to June of 2011. The main recommendations of the
committee were:
• Conduct at least two local library -planning efforts each year of the plan;
• Annually produce reports on member library services based on Wisconsin Library
Service Record data that indicate the performance of libraries;
• Publicize successes through the media and continue to apply for awards;
• Remain a federated library system;
• Continue to use the adopted funding formula set forth in the ordinance;
• Continue to use the standards at 85% of the basic level on the voluntary standards
published by the State of Wisconsin in the year 2000;
• Continue to offer the Library Service Effort ratio targets unchanged;
• Require that any new library demonstrate that it can and will meet standards before
it is eligible for exemption from the county library levy; and
• Reaffirm local autonomy with library system oversight on library system compliance.
Page 40 of 66
91
2017-2021 Plan
County Board Chair Paul Decker appointed the fifth Act 150 Committee, chaired by Dave
DeAngelis. It met from August 2016 to March 2017. The main recommendations of the
committee were:
• Update the standards to reflect the current Waukesha County library environment and
include requirements based on a graduated population scale;
• Add new quality assurance standards to help ensure libraries' excellence;
• Change standards language to emphasize that the county library standards are
"minimums to exempt" rather than aspirational;
• Change in the library distribution formula to more accurately credit libraries for sharing
their materials; and
• Remove outdated language in the county code's library distribution formula in order to
acknowledge the statutory authority vested in the regional library system board.
2022-2026 Plan
County Board Chair Paul Decker appointed the sixth Act 150 Committee, chaired by Dave
DeAngelis. It met from July 2021-February 2022. The main recommendations of the
committee were:
• Update the Minimum to Exempt standards to reflect the current Waukesha County
Environment.
• Add new quality assurance standards to help ensure libraries' excellence.
• Change the definition of circulation in the county library funding collection and
distribution formulas to include verifiable electronic circulation with the purpose of
more fairly reimbursing libraries for service to residents living in municipalities
without libraries.
Page 41 of 66
Appendix B
Draft of Proposed County Library Tax Levy Distribution Formula (Alternate F)
(a) Purpose. To provide method of levy distribution that incorporates a stability component
while working towards a fair distribution of levy dollars based on library's efforts of True Non -
Resident (TNR) and net crossover borrowing/lending circulations.
(b) Definitions. For purposes of this section:
1. Circulation shall mean materials borrowed from a library in the year prior to the year
in which the Library Tax is levied.
2. True Non -Resident (TNR) Library Circulation shall mean the total annual amount of
circulation (electronic or physical) that a Waukesha County municipal library lends to
residents of Waukesha County communities without libraries.
3. Crossover Lending (COL) Circulation shall mean the lending of library materials, in
person or by inter -library loan by a Waukesha County municipal library to residents of
another Waukesha County municipal library community.
4. Crossover Borrowing (COB) Circulation shall mean the borrowing of library materials,
in person or by inter -library loan, from a Waukesha County municipal library by
residents of another Waukesha County municipal library community.
5. Net Crossover Circulation (COC) shall mean a Waukesha County library community's
total annual Crossover Lending Circulation, less its total annual Crossover Borrowing
Circulation.
6. Net COC/TNR shall mean the sum of a Waukesha County library community's total
annual True Non -Resident Library Circulation and Net Crossover Circulation (in person or
by inter -library loan).
7. Only Positive Net COC/TNR shall mean, for each Waukesha County library with a
positive Net COC/TNR the proportion of the sum of all positive Library County Levy
Circulation Effort.
8. Allowable Costs shall mean the sum of all current library budgets plus an adjustment
for prior year actual expenditures and revenues that shall be made by calculating the
sum of the difference of actual year-end figures for allowable expenditures made and
revenues received and either reducing or increasing the current year budget adopted by
the Waukesha County system member library boards by that overage (increases current
Page 42 of 66
93
year budget) or lapse (decreases current year budget) for the purposes of calculating
allowable costs.
9. Act 150 Minimum shall mean the minimum amount of Waukesha County Library Levy
that a library must receive according to Wisconsin Statute 43.12(1)(b). This requires
that each library receive an amount equal to at least 70% of their unit cost per
circulation, incurred during the year prior to the levy being imposed, multiplied by the
library's total circulation lent to Waukesha County Non -Residents.
10. Unadjusted Distribution Goal shall be calculated as the sum of a library's Act 150
minimum plus any excess revenue multiplied by each library's proportional Positive Net
COC/TNR. Excess revenue is defined as remaining County Library Levy revenue after Act
150 minimum provided.
(c) The County Library Levy Distribution Formula determines funding for Waukesha County
member libraries through the following steps:
An initial allocation is intended to provide stability in funding. If there is an increase in
the Waukesha County Library Levy, each library will receive an increase of 50 percent of
the percentage increase in allowable expenditures. If that increase is insufficient to
fund a library's Act 150 minimum, their allocation will be further increased to that
amount. If the overall Waukesha County Library Levy remains flat or decreases, there is
no funding allocated at this stage, except to increase a library's funding to meet its Act
150 Minimum, if necessary.
2. The second allocation for each library's annual share of the Waukesha County
Library Levy shall be determined from the remaining annual levy after the first
allocation. If there is a remaining surplus, only libraries with a "Positive Net COC/TNR"
that are below their unadjusted distribution goal will receive the remaining funds,
allocated based on the proportion each of these libraries is under their unadjusted
distribution goal.
3. If the stability adjustment in (1) results in a deficit, whereby the total distribution
exceeds available Library Levy, a decrease is applied proportionally based on the
preliminary distribution, excluding libraries that received a step up to their Act 150
Minimum, until the total reduction is sufficient to offset the deficit.
4. During years when the Library Tax Levy decreases, the prior year distributions are first
stepped up to the Act 150 minimum, if necessary. Decreases are then applied
proportionately to libraries who exceed their unadjusted distribution goal based on the
remaining amount to get to the unadjusted distribution goal.

Note': Materials Expenditure in Appendix C showcases the total expenditure Minimum at the exact population
tiers shown. Materials Exp./Capita Rate shows that populations at and before 10,000 are at $6/capita and once
the population tier goes over 10,000, future population portions are at $5/capita. To calculate actual Materials
Expenditure/Capita for libraries with a population over 10,000 do the following:
((Municipal population—10,000) X $5) + (10,000 X $6))/Municipal Population = Materials Expenditure/Capita
Appendix D
The purpose of these charts is to showcase the Minimums to Exempt for each Waukesha County Library in the first
year of the plan (2027), which will use 2025 DOA population numbers (most recent number available by the time
2027 library budget planning occurs in mid-2026). Materials Expenditure/Capita calculation for populations over
10,000 (first 10,000 = $6/capita, portion after 10,000 is $5/capita).
