December 18, 2019 Director’s Report to Library Board Agenda items this month Budget: In July, the Library Board approved a budget request to the Village of Sussex. During the Village budget process, each department was asked to reduce the amount it requested by $5000. Fortunately some of our system-related costs, like database payments and our CAFÉ contract, came back lower than expected, so that provided some savings in materials expenditures and automation maintenance. The rest of the reduction came from multiple areas, most significantly from continuing education and legal fees. We were, however, able to preregister for some events next year with remaining funds from this year, so professional development should not be negatively affected. We also have reserve funds designated for legal fees, if we should happen to exceed that lower budgeted amount. Included in your packets is a revised budget draft, with any changes over $100 highlighted and annotated. You will also find there are increases in technology expenditures, which will cover the new managed IT service, as well as the cost of replacing equipment and infrastructure beyond just computers (firewall, switches, access points, etc.). After consulting with the auditors, Finance Director Nancy Whalen recommended creating a revenue line called “use of fund balance” that will transfer from reserves designated for computer replacement. This amount, which is just under $4000, can be decreased over time as the new IT costs are absorbed into the budget. Despite these additional costs, the final budgeted expenditures are less than the total approved earlier this year. Computer Replacement Project: Included in your packets are lease proposals for the three purchases that comprise the computer replacement project (public computers/Internet, staff computers, and server). During the discussions Mary Olson and I had with K12 about the lease terms, we learned that they include the option of a “$1 buyout.” This means that at the end of the lease, the equipment is ours (for $1) should we decide we want it. If not, K12 will remove the equipment, provide data erasure, and recycle or resell gear where possible (the library would receive any returns). I like this option because it provides us some flexibility as we try this new model of technology purchasing. We might decide to repurpose equipment or stretch what is still working well for another cycle. If we decide that we need to replace again to keep pace with new technology, we have – at no additional cost – a method of disposing equipment and maximizing returns. The contract template is also included in your packets for review. Strategic Plan: Included in your packets is the final version of our new Strategic Plan 2020-2022. Eight staff members and four Library Board trustees were very generous with their time and input throughout the process of creating this plan, and I am truly appreciative of their

efforts. The full Board will have a chance to discuss the plan and make any final changes before approving it at the December meeting. Once the Strategic Plan is approved, the management team will meet to determine 2020 activities. These will be discussed and revised at our January meeting.

Non-agenda items

System and library community activities: At the November meeting of the system directors and Bridges staff (APL), I was nominated as an officer for 2020. I’ll be serving as the APL secretary next year. I’ve been attending the meetings since becoming director, and I’ve found that talking to other directors is incredibly helpful. Whatever the issue, someone in the room has probably had experience with it, and can offer guidance and perspective. On November 5, I gave a tour of our library to the Washington County library directors. Digitization Project: On November 22, Bridges Technology Support Specialist Erin Kramer delivered the Recollection WI digitization kit. Rachel Ruetz has been busy testing the equipment, revising instructions, developing a schedule for scanning, and setting up training times with staff and volunteers. Friends Booksale: The Friends of the Library held their annual Holiday Book and Bake sale November 23-25, and it was a great success. Patrons browsed gift-condition books, baskets, puzzles, and baked goods in a festively bedecked Quad Room. Particularly popular was the large assortment of White Mountain jigsaw puzzles, donated by one of the Friends. Proceeds from the sale were matched by Modern Woodmen up to $1000. Space Needs Study: I met with Jeremy Smith this month to discuss the timing of releasing the RFP for a space needs study. I also got some helpful input from Bridges Director Connie Meyer. Based on these conversations, I believe we should aim to release the RFP by the end of March 2020. We can talk about the timeline in more detail at the meeting. Website Issues: If you are a frequent visitor to our website, you may have noticed some malfunctions this month. First, the free calendar plugin that we were using stopped working with our site, which meant a scramble to find a new way of displaying our events. (Many WordPress plugins and themes are free, which is great for keeping costs down, but leaves the developers less accountable for bugs and errors in their products.) Then the main menu disappeared from most browsers, and the site went down altogether the Wednesday afternoon before Thanksgiving. Since launching the site in January 2016, I have done the majority of the troubleshooting. There is a minimal amount of support that our hosting service will provide free

of charge, and I have been able to find many answers in the WordPress user community, but neither was sufficient in this case. Ultimately, I opted to pay a “premium support” fee to have a web developer fix the issue. I’m not sure that this will become an ongoing expense, but I do plan to allocate some funds to it in the 2021 budget. Frankly, I’m a little surprised that we went almost four years without getting to this point! Once we purchased the premium support fee, the site was quickly back in operation and additionally, the developer was able to solve an (aesthetic) issue with the mobile menu that’s persisted despite my best efforts the past couple of months. Continuing Education: Nancy Aycock attended the annual CCBC (Cooperative Children’s Book Center) workshop at the West Allis Public Library November 7. At this workshop CCBC librarians talk about great new (c2019) books for children and teens. Browsing and examining the new books happens before and after the presentation. Val Johnson and children’s librarian Teresa Douglas attended a different CCBC event; on November 11 they traveled to the Children’s Book Center in Madison for CCBC Starred Review Hands-On Book Examination Days. For these days the CCBC staff sets up in one room all of the 2019 books they have received that have starred reviews in one or more journals. This enables librarians, who attend from all over the state, to examine books first hand and make efficient purchasing decisions. Teresa also attended two webinars during November: “Fierce Fighting Girls” presented by School Library Journal and CCBC’s monthly webinar “New Picture Books.” Jennie Bahnaman attended the Health Online: Finding Information You Can Trust train-the-trainer workshop offered by Bridges Library System. This workshop was led by Caitlyn Mowatt, Health Communications Specialist at Wisconsin Health Literacy. We covered the digital divide among seniors and access to health information online. Cailtlyn took us step-by-step through the Health Online course which teaches library patrons internet basics, how to read a website, how to make sure information is credible, and where to find credible health information. This course is available free for libraries to use if we would like to host a similar workshop for our patrons. Jennie is exploring the possibility of offering a workshop in late spring.

Valerie Johnson, Children’s Services Manager, reports on November 2019 activities:

November Programs All regularly scheduled, repeating children’s programs continued through the month of November. These include LEGO Club, Doggy Tales, LabTime, Noah’s Ark Outreach, and Grow Strong Readers training. As always, the storytime season came to a close Thanksgiving week; that week’s theme was “Thanks,” and both staff and storytime attendees enjoyed the bounty of picture books about being grateful and saying thank you. Our eight-week Cookie club will take over as a passive program for preschoolers until the winter-spring storytime session begins at the end of January. Our new 2020 Winter/Spring program flyer came out Thanksgiving week, encouraging patrons to add upcoming programs to their winter-into-spring calendars.

School Involvement First graders from all Hamilton elementary schools continue to regularly show up at our reference desk to proudly inform us that they are Firsties and that they know the secret password! The Firsties program invites first graders to visit the Library at least once a month throughout the school year. This is a great opportunity for us to interact with and get to know these kids and for their families to establish a library habit. Grants Awarded November has been a rewarding and exciting month for obtaining funding toward our popular children’s programming. Children’s Associate Nancy Aycock applied and won for our library a $300.00 award entitled Libraries Ready to Code Minigrant: Celebrate CS Education Week. This project is an initiative of the American Library Association (ALA) and sponsored by Google. With the grant funds, we will be celebrating Computer Science Education Week and the worldwide event Hour of Code™ with three programs in our KidsLab on Tuesday, December 10th, Thursday, December 12th, and Tuesday, December 17th, 2019. Under Nancy’s guidance the program will include the activity, “Who’s Your Hero?” wherein kids will write short sentences about their everyday heroes. We will show the “Code Your Hero” videos and then kids will use the Scratch computer program to code a story about an everyday hero. Two additional learning challenges will be available to kids who might have to wait for an available PC or laptop: there will be a Dash robot (wearing a superhero cape!), and the Blockly App on an iPad, to navigate Dash through a special superhero maze on our giant floor whiteboard. Finally, there will also be holiday Binary bracelets and necklaces to create. Children’s Services manager Val Johnson also applied and won for our library $966.00 in grant funds for the Sequences and Stories Connected Learning and Computational Thinking in Youth Services project administered by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction’s (DPI) Division for Libraries and Technology. Original funding comes from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) which administers the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA). Val’s grant proposal was called “SewXO: Sewing Machines for Tweens and Teens,” and the grant will purchase two sewing machines as well as supplies for making electronic fashions and crafts. Nancy Aycock and children’s associate Katie Mueller will be instrumental in overseeing the programs that use the new equipment and supplies. The project grant will enable us to

introduce the use of sewing machines and exciting, electronic sewing projects into our KidsLab and into our Youth Art Month programming. First, we hope that SewXO will become a staple feature of LabTime in our KidsLab. Sample activities using the sewing machines include upcycled fashions and frankentoys that involve simple construction, as well as felt monsters with light-up eyes or hearts and glow bracelets that involve LED lights and soft circuitry. Long-term, we would also offer sewing classes or tutoring for the very beginner, including children who are interested but still too young to encounter sewing in middle school. In addition to KidsLab, we plan to use the sewing machines and supplies during Family Art Lab, an event which is held one weekend each year during Youth Art Month. To the established eight-to-ten passive art activities we plan to add projects with STEM-appeal that require sewing and that implement some new aspects of computational thinking. Our current favorite potential project is a bookmark booklight. Sewing and creating objects from fabrics alone is a prime example of computational thinking, as the process turns a 2-D object (pattern; fabric) into a 3-D object. Growing in popularity is combining fabric with lights, sensors, and circuitry. Both of these grants provide a great boost toward staying on the cutting edge in the ever-advancing field of children’s programming. Continuing education statistics:

Jennie Bahnaman, Assistant Director and Adult Services Manager, and Becca Werginz, Adult & Teen Services Librarian, report on November 2019 activities:

“The Office” Trivia Night On November 7, Becca Werginz (Adult & Teen Services Librarian) and Teresa Douglas (Youth & Adult Librarian) facilitated a trivia night for fans of The Office television show. Thirty-six participants enjoyed ultra-competitive trivia along with the fun Office-themed decorations, ate themed snacks, and competed in a mini-game to win a special prize. Justice for Sprinkles, the winning team, took home Dundees to commemorate their success! Tech 101: Safety with Online Shopping On November 4, four community members gathered to learn about how to safely shop online. Librarian Becca Werginz taught attendees how to recognize common warning signs, how to safely pay for online purchases, and how to maximize built-in safety features within browsers.

Make It! At the Library: Wrapping Paper On November 19, Jennie Bahnaman and Rachel Ruetz (Technical Services Manager) led our holiday Make It! @ the Library event where 13 patrons could create their own hand-decorated wrapping paper. Our Make It! programs take a break in December, due to the busy holiday season, but will return in January with mini barn quilts. NaNoWriMo – National Novel Writing Month

Our library participated in a line-up of other Waukesha County libraries who hosted write-ins for National Novel Writing Month in November. On Thursday evenings we hosted up to 8 writers, who worked busily in the company of one another, sharing stories and ideas. The goal of NaNoWrimo is to write 50,000 words of a novel during the 30 days of November.

Show Us Your Library Card Recap Jennie Bahnaman, Becca Werginz and Adele Loria met to discuss the final details of Show Us Your Library Card 2019. We reviewed the evaluation forms from 10 participating businesses and have taken their feedback into consideration. It was suggested a few times that Show Us Your Library Card should be held for a longer period of time. We are going to check in with Piggly Wiggly, our largest partner in SUYLC in terms of customer visits, to see how this would affect their business. This will help us determine if we would like to keep it at two weeks or extend it. We also discussed new ways to promote and to encourage businesses to share SUYLC on their own social media platforms and websites. Our final numbers included 486 raffle slips returned to the library, while a total of 894 slips were given out at participating SUYLC businesses. Collection and Databases All final orders for materials were placed in November. We are continuing to create Baker & Taylor carts for January 2020, so when January 1st comes, we are ready to place the first materials order of the year.

We continue to see patrons discovering Flipster at our Flipster kiosk, and that has motivated us to focus on increasing use of Gale Courses as well. Like Flipster, Gale Courses are hard to market because they are less visible than other library services, but we get a great response from patrons who have tried them. We are attempting to promote Gale Courses in a similar way to promoting other library events or programs. We’ve included Gale Courses in our event brochure, on our website’s event calendar and event page, and in our email newsletter blasts. We will continue to explore creative ways to promote this service. Teen Services Hamilton High School Checkout On November 26, Jennie Bahnaman, Becca Werginz, and Sam Spottek (Children’s Services Intern) visited Hamilton High School to check out materials and promote the library over lunch. The 25 students who visited the table were also able to participate in a book raffle, make buttons, and learn about library programs and services while enjoying candy. Professional Activities On November 21, Becca Werginz represented Pauline Haass Library at the Bridges Library System Marketing Meet-Up, where a dozen librarians gathered to discuss marketing successes and challenges. Discussion topics included the challenges presented by various scheduling services and design programs as well as how to market successfully to a wide range of age groups.

Rachel Ruetz, Technical Services Manager, reports on November 2019 activities:

This is always a busy month for the technical services department, as we are hurrying to get all of the end-of-year materials cataloged, processed, and out on the shelves! On November 12th department head Rachel Ruetz attended the last Café Catalogers meeting of the year and ended her term as chairperson. At this meeting, Bridges Library System Technology Support Specialist Erin Kramer demonstrated our catalog’s label-making capabilities, and Rachel was inspired to give it a try at PHPL. Using this feature means that as call numbers are entered into the Café catalog, the catalog will automatically create labels that are ready to be printed out. The hope is that this will decrease time spent manually typing call numbers onto a spreadsheet to be printed out, and will minimize some (very occasional!) discrepancies between the call numbers listed in the catalog and those printed on materials. Erin stopped by the library on November 22nd to help us get this feature set up. While she was here, Erin also delivered up the Bridges Recollection WI Digitization Kit, which will be used to digitize local history collections from our Sussex/Lisbon Historium through Recollection WI and the Digital Public Library of America. We already have some materials gathered, and Carol Eckes, along with other volunteers, will be assisting us in creating a digital record of these materials. We’re in the very early stages of this project but we’re really excited about the material that will be made available digitally to our customers. Statistics 747 items processed 25.5 volunteer hours

The Contract Payments shall be sent to the location specified by the Obligee or its assignees.

Section 5.03 Insufficiency of Net Proceeds. If there are no Net Proceeds for whatever reason or if the Net Proceeds are insufficient to pay in full the cost of any replacement, repair, restoration, modification or improvement of the Equipment, then Obligor shall, at the option of Obligee, either (1) complete such replacement, repair, restoration, modification or improvement and pay any costs thereof in excess of the amount of the Net Proceeds or (2) apply the Net Proceeds to the Purchase Option Price and pay the deficiency, if any, to the Obligee.

Section 5.05 Reimbursement. Obligor hereby assumes responsibility for and agrees to reimburse Obligee for all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of whatsoever kind and nature, imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Obligee that in any way relate to or arise out of a claim, suit or proceeding, based in whole or in part upon the negligent conduct of Obligor, its officers, employees and agents, or arose out of installation, operation, possession, storage or use of any item of the Equipment, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

VI. Title and Security Interest Section 6.01 Title. Title to the Equipment shall vest in Obligor when Obligor acquires and accepts the Equipment. Title to the Equipment will automatically transfer to the Obligee in the event Obligor non-appropriates under Section 4.01 or in the event Obligor defaults under Section 9.01. In such event, Obligor shall execute and deliver to Obligee such documents as Obligee may request to evidence the passage of legal title to the Equipment to Obligee. Section 6.02 Security Interest. To secure the payment of all Obligor’s obligations under this Contract, as well as all other obligations, debts and liabilities, plus interest thereon, whether now existing or subsequently created, Obligor hereby grants to Obligee a security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code constituting a first lien on the Equipment described more fully on Exhibit A. Furthermore, Obligor agrees that any other collateral securing any other obligation(s) to Obligee, whether offered prior to or subsequent hereto, also secures this obligation. The security interest established by this section includes not only all additions, attachments, repairs and replacements to the Equipment but also all proceeds therefrom. Obligor authorizes Obligee to prepare and record any Financing Statement required under the Uniform Commercial Code to perfect the security interest created hereunder.

What’s New

The IRS has created a page on IRS.gov for information about the Form 8038 series and its instructions, at www.irs.gov/form8038. Information about any future developments affecting the Form 8038 series (such as legislation enacted after we release it) will be posted on that page.

Purpose of Form

Form 8038-GC is used by the issuers of tax-exempt governmental obligations to provide the IRS with the information required by section 149(e) and to monitor the requirements of sections 141 through 150.

Who Must File

Issuers of tax-exempt governmental obligations with issue prices of less than $100,000 must file Form 8038-GC.

Issuers of a tax-exempt governmental obligation with an issue price of $100,000 or more must file Form 8038-G, Information Return for Tax-Exempt Governmental Obligations.

Filing a separate return for a single issue. Issuers have the option to file a separate Form 8038-GC for any tax-exempt governmental obligation with an issue price of less than $100,000.

An issuer of a tax-exempt bond used to finance construction expenditures must file a separate Form 8038-GC for each issue to give notice to the IRS that an election was made to

pay a penalty in lieu of arbitrage rebate (see the line 11 instructions).

Filing a consolidated return for multiple issues. For all tax-exempt governmental obligations with issue prices of less than $100,000 that are not reported on a separate Form 8038-GC, an issuer must file a consolidated information return including all such issues issued within the calendar year.

Thus, an issuer may file a separate Form 8038-GC for each of a number of small issues and report the remainder of small issues issued during the calendar year on one consolidated Form 8038-GC. However, if the issue is a construction issue, a separate Form 8038-GC must be filed to give the IRS notice of the election to pay a penalty in lieu of arbitrage rebate.
