The motion was seconded by Greg Gartner and carried unanimously. Library Board Meeting November 7, 2024 CLOSED DATES FOR 2025 Monica LaVold reviewed the proposed closed dates for the 2025 calendar. The library would be closed on City-recognized holidays, as well as Saturday, July 5th. The library would also close early at 5:00 p.m. on New Year's Eve. The Library Board expressed support for closing the library at 5:00 p.m. on New Year's Eve going forward in future years as a standard practice, rather than bringing this topic back to the Board every year for authorization.

02 Jan 2025 Subject: Library Director's Report, January 2025 BACKGROUND INFORMATION: General  The St. Croix County Plan of Service has been completed and will be reviewed by the Admin Committee on January 21, and then sent to the County Board of Supervisors for final approval on February 4th. This plan will cover 2026-2029. The plan calls for the County to continue funding at 100% of the cost of serving rural residents.  Our year-end budget allowed us to invest in a few Creative Play pieces. We purchased a toy workbench, a small kitchen set, a gardening set, and a camper/tent set. These play sets will encourage child-directed, creative play which supports early literacy and child development, as well as social and emotional development. We know that play is an important part of early learning and strengthen life-long learning. Additionally, these create a unique and positive experience for families who visit the library and allow us to change out our centers on a regular basis.  We completed a furniture inventory of all of our existing shelving and display units. This will be sent to ISG as they plan for the interior of our new library. If we have some units that can be used in our new space, we would like to consider that as a cost-saving measure.  The Library will be closed on Monday, January 20th for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. This is the first year that we will close to observe this Holiday. Classes/Events – Check our monthly calendar for daily and weekly events for all ages:  We are holding our second Children's C.A.S.E.L Workshop on Tuesday, January 7th at 10:00am. This program is done in collaboration with school counselor, Lauren Glinsky, and is an opportunity to share stories, activities, and strategies to promote social-emotional learning, social skills, and well-being.  Our popular monthly Kid's Karaoke will be held on Wednesday, January 8th at 6:00pm.  In observation of Houseplant Appreciation Day on January 10, we are hosting a houseplant exchange. Bring in as many clippings to give away as you would like and hopefully there will be a new one for you to bring home. This requires registration and will be held at 5:30pm.  We will be serving popcorn from 10:00am - 5:00pm on Friday, January 17th to celebrate National Popcorn Day! Stop by and have a tasty snack.  Our January Crafty Adult's program will be creating a mini zen garden. It is believed that these sand gardens can help focus the mind and bring a sense of calm. Registration required. Tuesday, January 21 at 5:30pm. MORE/IFLS   The MORE staff are hard at work gathering year-end statistics and pre-loading them into the Annual Report forms.  New committee assignments for 2025 have been made. Jennifer will continue to serve on the Operations Committee and the Bibliographic Records and Standards Committee, Monica will serve on the Reference Services and Collection Development Committee as well as Director's Council.  "Library Love Story" is our annual advocacy project, and helps us to provide legislators and decision makers with quotes and stories about how libraries impact the lives of their users. If you have any "love stories" to share about our library, we would love to hear from you. Budget and Donations  We received $50.00 from Kay Brooks for the Building Project. Personnel:  Staff anniversaries for December: Emily Dunn, December 16, 3 years  Staff anniversaries for January: Todd Kittel, January 29, 7 years Statistics will be shared at the meeting, as they are not yet finalized. Page 2 of 2  MEMO Prepared for: Library Board Staff Contact: Noah Wiedenfeld Meeting: Library Board - 02 Jan 2025 Subject: Building Project Update BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The building project remains on schedule and on budget. Backfilling began in early December, so the stockpile of fill material on the site is now smaller. Framing of the townhome building started Dec. 16th and framing of the residences above the library will begin in January. Some of the next steps include underground plumbing and steel studwork. As a reminder, construction updates and progress photos are added to the building project page on the library website every couple of weeks. The City Council and Community Development Authority had a joint meeting on Dec. 16th and approved Northland Securities as the underwriting firm for the issuance of lease revenue bonds by the CDA, which will occur in early 2025. Northland Securities was one of six respondents to the request for proposals (RFP) issued by Ehlers in the fall of 2024. As always, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thanks! Noah Wiedenfeld  MEMO Prepared for: Library Board President and Trustees Staff Contact: Monica La Vold Meeting: Library Board - 02 Jan 2025 Subject: 2025 Meeting Dates BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Library Board should review the calendar for meeting dates to determine availability. The Library Board will meet on the following dates in 2025: Thursday, January 2 at 4:30pm Thursday, February 6 at 4:30pm Thursday, March 6 at 4:30pm Thursday, April 3 at 4:30pm Thursday, May 1 at 4:30pm Thursday, June 5 at 4:30pm NO MEETING IN JULY Thursday, August 7 at 4:30pm Thursday, September 4 at 4:30pm Thursday, October 2 at 4:30pm Thursday, November 6 at 4:30pm Thursday, December 4 at 4:30pm  MEMO Prepared for: Library Board President and Trustees Staff Contact: Monica La Vold Meeting: Library Board - 02 Jan 2025 Subject: Statistics Reporting for 2025 BACKGROUND INFORMATION: As you know, we are working on strategies to improve our statistics reporting. In 2024, we created graphs that will continue to be used in our reporting. In 2025, I would like to add a highlighted statistic of the month. For each month, we will look at a specific stat that the library collects, talk about what it means and why it matters, and then compare our performance in that area to libraries in IFLS, and also to comparable libraries in the State. Based on our statewide Data Dashboard, I have determined that there are 5 libraries in the state that most closely resemble us in the following areas:  Municipal Population  Circulation  Cardholders  Building size between 27,000 and 35,000 square feet We will use the following libraries as our comparables for 2025: 1. Monona Public Library 2. Dwight Foster Public Library, Fort Atkinson 3. Carnegie-Schadde Memorial Library, Baraboo 4. Oregon Area Library 5. DeForest Public Library For comparisons within IFLS, we will share the IFLS Data Dashboard and explain how we are able to view our numbers in the context of the system. The schedule for sharing our Statistic of the Month will be as follows: January - Introduction to stats February - Annual recap and final statistics for 2024 March - Circulation and Act 150 April - Cardholders and New Cards May - Youth Programs June - Reference Questions August - Funding and Budget September - Adult Programs October - ILL Use November - Computer and WiFi use December - Door Count While there are other statistics that we keep, these are the ones we will highlight in 2025 as a way to bring more meaning and purpose to our statistics reporting. Page 2 of 2  MEMO Prepared for: Library Board President and Trustees Staff Contact: Monica La Vold Meeting: Library Board - 02 Jan 2025 Subject: Strategic Priorities Progress 2024 BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Strategic Priorities and Goals December 2024 - Have we meet our 2024 Goals? 1.Access, Equity, and Inclusion Goal: Use the Wisconsin Inclusive Services Assessment and Guide checklist to give the library a snapshot of our current levels of inclusion and determine areas that we can work on strengthening. Progress:  The Inclusive Services Assessment and Guide for Wisconsin Public Libraries Rubric with scores for multiple areas in our library. 2.Patron Experience Goal: We will purchase and display materials that are strongly patron focused. We will follow trends and work to meet patron demands to increase circulation and generate greater patron interest in our collections. Progress  This past year, we have not only focused our selection process on patron interest, but we have begun genrefying our adult fiction collection. We expect this process to take over a year, but we have made amazing progress. This decision was made as a way to improve patron experience by making books easier to locate and browse. Creating genres allows us to collocate similar items, thus giving greater opportunity for patrons to stumble on something that they want to read.  We grew our “BookTok” collection, which is a new subset of our adult fiction collection. This is based on the recommendations and collective “buzz” happening on TikTok regarding popular books. We have found that more and more of our patrons are getting book suggestions from platforms like TikTok, and having these popular titles is generating interest and excitement in our collections. 3.Community Connections/Engagement Goal: Community groups and organizations: 1. We will reach out to groups we have long had relationships with as well as new community organizations to share information about our library and advocate for its use. 2. We will establish more solid relationships with our community partners. Progress  Staffing changes have made this goal harder to meet. We have made some progress, but not as much as I would like to see. I believe this is a goal that we should continue into 2025. 4.Lifelong Learning, Discovery, and Literacy Goal: Discovery: 1. Organize, enhance, and add to our Library of Things collection. 2. Purchase materials that encourage curiosity and discovery for all ages of library patrons. Progress:  This goal has been a huge success for us. We have made big changes in our Library of Things and added a number of new materials for both checkout and for in-library engagement. Details are included in the attached document. 5.Facilities Management Goal: Stewardship of our current building. 1. Budget and play for necessary repairs for our current space. 2. Formalize a plan for furnishings or structures that we want to take to a new building. Progress  We have made a plan to replace the rooftop economizer in 2025, and it has been added to the CIP (Capital Improvement Plan).  A detailed furniture inventory has been done and sent to ISG for planning purposes. 2024 Goals As we look at the goals for 2024, we will look to our 2025 goals. These will be finalized and brought to our February meeting. ATTACHMENTS: 2024 Strategic Goals Evaluation 2024 Inclusive Services Assessment Rubric Page 2 of 7  LEARN EXPLORE CONNECT 1. Access, Equity, and Inclusion We believe that all patrons of the Friday Memorial Library should be able to access library collections, programs and services easily. We believe that our collections, programs and services are a reflection of our community and should represent the diversity that exists in our area. 2024 Goal Inclusion • Use the Wisconsin Inclusive Services Assessment and Guide checklist to give the library a snapshot of our current levels of inclusion and determine areas that we can work on strengthening. Progress The Wisconsin Inclusive Services Assessment Guide gives a comprehensive score on a variety of areas of inclusion. After spending some time with the tool and thinking through our work towards Access, Equity, and Inclusion, we found the following areas: 1. Our top three areas for improvement are: Collection Spaces, Indoor Spaces, and Library Services. a. Collection Spaces: We are very limited by the space and configuration of our building to adapt our collection spaces to be more inclusive. However, there are a few things that we could consider i. Large, easy-to-read signage on all collections ii. Visual wayfinding iii. Promotion and collection of materials that highlight identities. For example, October is National Dyslexia Month, so we can work to put together displays or events that highlight our dyslexia resources that month. b. Indoor Spaces: There are not very many things we can do to improve this in our current facility, but we can work to ensure that our new building has many of the features we are missing here. i. ADA Requirements ii. Visual indicators for alarms, rooms, and public spaces iii. Space for use of mobility aids iv. Wheelchair accessible self-check v. 45-inch aisles between shelves vi. Adaptive technologies (hearing loops, sound systems, visual aids) vii. Adequate lighting in all areas c. Library Services: This is an area where we can target inclusion and increase our access through some simple steps. i. Visual schedules of events or due dates ii. Touch screen devices available for internet or communication purposes iii. Creating pathfinders or subject guides related to topics of interest (we do this in fiction, but not really in non-fiction) iv. Providing fidgets for neurodiverse learners when needed v. Inclusive seating options vi. Adding services in another language Page 3 of 7 2. Patron Experience We believe that offering our patrons the best service possible is a foundation of our library. We believe in providing a positive atmosphere and working to create experiences that will bring patrons back again and again. 2024 Goal Collections • We will purchase and display materials that are strongly patron focused. We will follow trends and work to meet patron demands to increase circulation and generate greater patron interest in our collections. Progress This past year, we have not only focused our selection process on patron interest, but we have begun genrefying our adult fiction collection. We expect this process to take over a year, but we have made amazing progress. This decision was made as a way to improve patron experience by making books easier to locate and browse. Creating genres allows us to collocate similar items, thus giving greater opportunity for patrons to stumble on something that they want to read. We grew our “BookTok” collection, which is a new subset of our adult fiction collection. This is based on the recommendations and collective “buzz” happening on TikTok regarding popular books. We have found that more and more of our patrons are getting book suggestions from platforms like TikTok, and having these popular titles is generating interest and excitement in our collections. 3. Community Connections/Engagement One of the key words in our mission is CONNECT. We believe that our work is made stronger through collaboration and community engagement. 2024 Goal Community groups and organizations • We will reach out to groups we have long had relationships with as well as new community organizations to share information about our library and advocate for its use. • We will establish more solid relationships with our community partners. Progress When we initially set this goal, we had some longer-term employees in the YS area. Since that time, we have had some rather large staff turnovers, and that has impacted our community outreach efforts. Jake has taken over the Kiwanis membership from Julie, although I don’t believe he is able to attend as often as he might like. Additionally, he and Madelyn have begun rebuilding the relationships with all of our 4K sites and the school district. Some of the other organizations that we have partnered with this year include: • Boardman Meadows • The Deerfield Page 4 of 7  • XYZ (Extra Years of Zest) • Table 65 • Rotary • Lift Bridge • Head Start • Job Center of Wisconsin • New Richmond School District Counselor • New Richmond Pickle Ball Association • Northwood Tech • St. Croix County Parks • The Heritage Center • Kar Jackers Karaoke • The Centre • ADRC • St. Croix Health Center • WCCO Meteorology • St. Mary • Wisconsin Potato Growers Association • Two Bees and a Bud • Garden Expressions • Jewelltown Roastery 4. Lifelong Learning, Discovery, and Literacy The heart of libraries has long been about lifelong learning. We believe that we enhance the entire community by providing access to materials that aid in discovery and learning. We believe that we support literacy in our community through our materials and programs 2024 Goal Discovery • Organize, enhance, and add to our Library of Things collection. • Purchase materials that encourage curiosity and discovery for all ages of library patrons. Progress We have worked on organizing the collection by adding signage and QR codes to request specific items. The organization structure is continuing to evolve, as we evaluate the effectiveness of what we have in place and make tweaks. We completely re-structured our Roku lending program, opting to circulate more Roku devices with specific subscriptions attached to each one. We now have devices dedicated to Paramount+, Disney+ Bundle, Netflix, Hulu, Max, and Apple+. A few devices are accompanied by hotspots, so they are more accessible to all of our patrons. We added several new items to the Library of Things collection including: • A second Nintendo Switch console • A Wii console • Puzzle collection • Board Games collection • Early Literacy Backpacks • More Yard Games Page 5 of 7 5. Facilities Management We believe in creating a safe and inviting environment in our physical space. 2024 Goal Stewardship of current building • Budget and plan for necessary repairs for our current space. • Formalize a plan for any furnishings or components we want to take to a new building. Progress • After spending some time with our Maintenance Supervisor, it has been determined that we will need to replace the rooftop Economizer in 2025. We also will need to replace some mini-split A/C Units. • Currently, soffit and fascia repair has been included in the CIP for 2026. • In 2024, we also repaired the boiler and the heating unit in the Director’s Office. • A full inventory of furnishings was completed in early December 2024. Every shelving unit was reviewed for possible use in the new building. o There are a few limited items that may be useful to bring with us. o Items that we don’t want to move will be considered for auction. o Office furniture was not included in the review at this time.

With the new library under construction, we feel this is a good time to think about some long-range plans of our own. We intend to align with the City and to ensure that our overall vision for the future of the library is able to be met. Monica and Noah will share some long-range planning ideas for the library and discuss some of the process thus far.
