PERSONNEL
Discussion ensued regarding an employee and the invoice from Illinois Bone & Joint

period in spring 2003 when the Library was switching over its insurance coverage. Mrs.
�4
Anthony spoke to the employee and said the employee has paid a couple hundred dollars
towards the $5,096 bill.
Discussion ensued. Mr. Witry stands fim1 in his comments from last month. Discussion
ensued.

The Board asked Mrs. Anthony to contact the Illinois Department of Insurance to see if the
Library has standing. Could Library counsel handle the paperwork? Would we need to get
the employee's permission to appeal on her behalf?
DIRECTOR'S REPORT
USAGE---Circulation in June was nearly 146,000 for an increase of almost 9% from June
of last year. The trend toward strong circulation ofbooks continues with adult circulation
up 8% and youth up 10%. Participation in summer reading programs is at an all-time
high. While the gate count appears to be up substantially, the west lobby gate count was
not operational in June oflast year. Nevertheless, 75,000 users in June is a significant
increase over typical traffic which might be 65,000 even in a good month.
AUDIT---We are in the beginning stages ofthis year's audit. The financials have been
particularly challenging for Irene Tam as the Library needs to be in full compliance with
GASB 34 standards this year. This means closing FY 2004 on an accrual, rather than a
cash basis. There are a number of other requirements re reporting depreciation of the
building and major furniture and equipment, describing procedures taken to reduce the
opportunity for fraud, etc. These regulations have significantly increased the time for
end-of-year close-out and preparation for the auditors.
FINANCIAL STATUS---There is somewhat more than $l,OOO,OOO.left in the Operating
Budget. Expenses in July, with three payrolls, will be approximately $750,000.
Therefore, by sometime in August we will need to borrow internally from the Library's
�5
Reserve Fund and by sometime in September we may need to look at borrowing
externally. While we will receive fines and fees and may get some Corporate
Replacement Tax over the next couple months, it is unlikely that such revenues will
amount to more than $100,000. or so. We will continue to defer major expenses to the
extent possible until fall levy collections begin to be received.
Mrs. Anthony asked for the Board's direction. The Board would like Mrs. Anthony to
approach Mr. Nowak, Village of Skokie Finance Director, regarding a loan and also
approach at least one local bank, North Shore Community Trust or Cole Taylor for
comparison purposes.
Mrs. Hunter suggested private grant funding from McDonalds, CVS or Walgreens.
LSTA GRANT REQUESTS---LSTA grant requests are due by the end of July. The
Library plans to submit a grant request for collection funds to expand some of the world
languages collections, particularly in Spanish, Gujarat and Urdu. We hope to submit a
request for another digitization project of historical Skokie material. Staff are also
investigating the possibility of a request in the area of services to disabled children.
HONORING 9/11---Frances Roehm has been instrumental in organizing voter
registration in the Library, both here at Skokie Public Library and in other libraries in
NSLS on September 11. The registration is part of a citizen involvement campaign that
also includes public affairs programming at some libraries.
CABLE AWARD---An LCN "What's New in Libraries?" tape was the first place award
winner for the adult category of the Third Annual Skokie Programming Awards
sponsored by the Village of Skokie Cable Commission. The tape features footage of the
Grand Reopening and building improvements; Illinois CLICKS!; an interview with
readers' advisor "par excellance" Nancy Pearl, who spoke here at the Skokie Public
Library and the Skokie Teen Job Fair. The tape is about 22 minutes long.
ALA/ULC---Mrs. Anthony attended the Annual Conference of the American Library
Association in Orlando at the end of June and also the meetings of the Urban Libraries
Council which meets in conjunction with ALA. She has been Chair of the ULC Capacity
Development Task Force this past year, one of four task forces which look at areas of
critical interest to the ULC and make recommendations to the Board of actions to be
taken. We had interesting discussions of the evaluations of the Executive Leadership
Institute, a two year leadership development program sponsored by ULC with funding
from the Gates Foundation, Kellogg and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
The evaluation suggests, among other things, that public libraries are not investing
�6
enough in staff development; that we may not be giving enough attention to skill
development in areas such as communication, negotiation and influencing; and that our
concept of leadership may not allow for the kind of shared leadership and
experimentation needed to advance libraries in uncertain times. Mrs. Anthony attended
an interesting program sponsored by the ALA Intellectual Freedom Committee on the
topic of consolidated media ownership, heard author E.L. Doctorow give a stimulating
presentation about the current political situation and the humanities, and spent time in the
exhibits.
RE-SHOOT OF LIBRARY EXTERIOR---The photography firm, Hedrich Blessing, was
at the Library on Thursday, July 8, to re-shoot the exterior of the Library. They were
unhappy with the results of this particular shot taken last year.
COMMUNITY GUIDE---The Chamber recently published a new Community Guide.
The Library's ad was in the Guide but not the infonnational section on the Library with
the photo that was submitted. The publishers lost the photo and copy and have agreed to
'tip in' a double-sided card stock insert with Library information.
BUILDING ISSUES
Mrs. Anthony reported that she has continued to work on resolving issues with
Cmmectivity, the electrical contractor. They completed some outstanding work in June
such as replacement of faulty lights in the ground near the west entrance, replacement of
the power supply for the lights in the Youth Services story room, repair of the colored
lights behind the A V Service Desk and the installation of a jack in the equipment closet
in the Story Room. They are currently working on reconnecting the smoke purge system
(a matter of setting up controls and programming from the new fire detection system to
the HVAC system) and isolating the announcements in the Mary Radmacher Meeting
Room so that programs are not interrupted by closing announcements.
Guy Willis, Jr. has instmcted Connectivity's attorney not to discuss resolution of
contested change orders and back charges with the Library's attorney. He has said that he
would prefer to discuss the issues with Mrs. Anthony after all work is completed.
Connectivity is owed $24,000. in retainage on the base contract, plus whatever is
resolved from the disputed claims.
HEALTH INSURANCE- CHANGE IN BENEFIT
Mr. Witry left the meeting at 8:12p.m.
�7
Mrs. Anthony said the Library received the new insurance rates for each category of
health insurance from NSLS. As expected, rate increases were not large due to the
favorable financial situation of the NSLS insurance fund. Mrs. Anthony distributed charts
showing the new rates as of August, 2004, the rates that were in effect in 2003 and a
summary of anticipated Library expense for health care for FY 2005.
As shown in the latter chart, the Library could comfortably offer to pay 80% of Silver
level coverage for individuals (up from 80% of Bronze level coverage in FY 2004) and
65% of Silver level coverage for spouse and family plans. A chart showing the amount of
coverage offered by other libraries was also distributed. If the Board were to adopt Silver
level coverage at 80% for individuals and 65% for families, SPL would compare
favorably with other libraries since only five out of nineteen libraries contribute to family
coverage.
The plan has also added $400. in coverage for a colonoscopy exam and a $200. vision
benefit every two years.
The difference between the Bronze and Silver plan is sufficient to make it a more
attractive offering. For example, the Calendar Year deductible is $750. per person for InNetwork providers under the Bronze plan, but only $500. per person with Silver. The
prescription drug benefit is better and there are other favorable features at the Silver
level.
Because North Suburban Library System wants all eligible employees to join the health
insurance pool, they have decided that this is the last general open enrollment period.
While each year, those who are in the pool will have an opportunity to change the level of
coverage, people who simply elect not to participate will not be allowed to join at a future
date. This restriction will not apply to someone who has coverage through a spouse, but
may then lose that coverage due to a change in the spouse's employment, divorce, etc.
Primarily, some "20 something" staff members have not joined the insurance pool
because they rarely see a doctor and would prefer not to have the payroll deduction.
There are probably only four to six employees in this category. Mrs. Anthony's proposal,
to induce these people to join the pool, is that the Library offer to pay 90% of single
bronze level coverage for employees who elect that over silver level. The cost to the
Library is less than the silver level. The cost to the employee is only $37.59 per month or
$18.79 per pay period. While it is to their advantage to elect silver level coverage, the
option of the bronze level would give the employee needed protection at an affordable
cost and would also serve to broaden the pool.
�8
Mrs. Anthony recommends offering the option of 90% single bronze coverage as well as
80% single silver coverage to employees and 65% silver coverage for families.
After discussion, Dr. Wozniak made a motion, seconded by Mrs. Weiner:
MOTION:
THAT THE SKOKIE PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES
APPROVE PAYMENT OF 80% OF THE COST OF SILVER SINGLE
COVERAGE AND 65% OF THE COST OF SILVER FAMILY
COVERAGE (INCLUDES EMPLOYEE+ CHILD/REN; EMPLOYEE+
SPOUSE; FAMILY) AND 90% OF THE COST OF BRONZE SINGLE
COVERAGE FOR HEALTH INSURANCE FOR LIBRARY
EMPLOYEES; AS OF AUGUST 1, 2004.
The roll was called. The motion passed unanimously.
Mrs. Kay left the meeting at 8:27p.m.
STRATEGIC PLAN 2004-2007
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FISCAL YEAR 2005
Mrs. Anthony said a draft of Vision, Mission, Motto and Goals were presented to the
Board in June and returned to the Committee for revision. The Planning Committee met
July 6 with Board member Diana Hunter in attendance as well as Board representatives to
the Committee: President John Graham and John Wozniak. Mrs. Hunter explained that,
given the circumstances of our times, it is important to be explicit about the Library's
support of intellectual freedom and patron privacy. After discussion of options such as a
separate enumeration of values, it was decided to modify the Vision and Mission
statements to incorporate language re open access and privacy. It was further decided to
drop the Motto for now, but to consider it as part of the Marketing Plan which is an
objective for this year. The revised Vision and Mission and the Goals were distributed.
The Vision is intended as a statement of, ideally, how the community will be better
because of the Library. The Mission is more a statement of purpose, indicating what the
Library does, for whom and how. Six goals are proposed for the planning period. Three
are service goals focused on how services will be provided, what we will do and for (and
with) whom. One goal furthers infonnation literacy among staff and the public. Another
goal deals with marketing of library services. Finally, there is a management goal,
challenging the Administration and Board to think through operations in the current
climate of constant pressure on the tax levy, looking for ways that we can increase the
efficiency of operations and strengthen revenue streams.
�9
Although past plans for the Library have covered five year periods, it is proposed that the
current Strategic Plan be reviewed in three years due to significant changes in
technology, the society and the community.
Mrs. Anthony presented the proposed goals as developed in the recent strategic planning
process, along with objectives suggested by staff, which together form the work plan for
the current year.
The goals have changed somewhat from the last plan, directing our focus to new areas.
For example, Goal I speaks to "convenience and ease of use" while a former goal dealt
with "consistent quality." The shift does not mean that we are unconcerned with quality,
but that we recognize the importance of"convenience and ease ofuse" to local residents.
As has been noted, many people are satisfied with the "good enough" information they
get from a quick Google search. We need to look for ways to make quality library
services convenient and easy to use.
In the strategic planning meetings, a key value that all agreed on was the Library's base
in the community. Goal II reminds us to develop programs and services with the needs
and interests of the commtinity in mind. Goal III encourages us to seek new
collaborations and to continue to work with established patrons in service delivery.
Goal IV continues a focus on infonnation literacy as there is more work to be done in this
area. The teclmology is constantly changing and presenting new opportunities with which
staff must become acquainted so that they, in tum, can share that knowledge with the
public.
Goal V continues an emphasis on marketing which is not simply advertising, but
targeting services to specific groups within the community.
Goal VI recognizes the fiscal challenges the Library faces with short levy collections due
to corporate tax appeals and a generally tight economic situation.
After brief discussion, Mrs. Hunter made a motion, seconded by Dr. Wozniak:
MOTION:
THAT THE SKOKIE PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES
APPROVE THE STRATEGIC PLAN 2004-2007 (COPY ATTACHED)
AND THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FISCAL YEAR 2005 AS
PRESENTED BY THE DIRECTOR.
The motion was approved unanimously.
�VISION
Skokie Public Library is essential to a vibrant and diverse community where individuals
of all ages, and families, freely engage in lifelong learning and discovery, and enjoyment
of popular culture and the arts. Residents have many opportunities to become wellinformed, with their intellectual freedom and privacy protected, to benefit from cultural
diversity and to actively participate in the life of the community.
MISSION
Skokie Public Library supports lifelong learning and discovery with a broad spectrum of
books, other media, and programs to inform, educate, entertain and enrich the individuals
and families of our community. The Library protects the rights of library users to receive
information without restricting access or violating privacy. Staff also assist users in
finding, evaluating, and using information effectively. Skokie's many cultures utilize the
Library as a center for the exchange of ideas and the building of community.
GOALS
1. Convenience and ease of use will guide the delivery of services and materials.
2. Materials, programs and services will respond to the needs and interests of the
community.
3. The Library will interact with individuals, groups and institutions in Skokie to partner
with them in service development.
4. The public and staff will receive training and assistance in developing information
literacy.
5. The public will become more aware of services and collections offered by the Library
and the potential benefit of those services.
6. The Library will adapt to the current fiscal environment by reviewing current
operations and looking for enhanced revenue streams.

SERVING OUR PUBLIC: STANDARDS FOR ILLINOIS PUBLIC LIBRARIES
Mrs. Anthony said in order to qualify for a Per Capita Grant for FY 2005, the Library
must review and report on progress in meeting specified portions of the Standards
outlined in Serving Our Public. The chapters to be reviewed cover Public Relations and
Marketing, Facilities, and System and ILLINET membership responsibilities. (Mrs.
Anthony distributed Serving Our Pitblic: Standards for Illinois Public Libraries, pp.4152.)
In the area of Public Relations and Marketing, Skokie Public Library has an extensive
marketing program, overseen by a dedicated staff member. One of six goals for the new
planning period is that "The public will become more aware of services and collections
offered by the Library and the potential benefit of those services." Another addresses
interaction with various individuals and institutions in development of services.
One supplemental standard talks about visiting other libraries. Individual staff and Board
members make a point of this. We also had a staff group visit the new libraries in
Elmhurst and Oak Park. Another supplemental standard refers to using "a variety of
means" within and without the Library to get the word out about library services. We are
always looking for new approaches. As part of the building plan, we incorporated plasma
screens near each service desk, featuring upcoming programs, new Library materials and
highlighting selected library services. We have instituted several new newsletters in
recent years, targeted to specific groups such as teachers. We have also experimented
with email notification ofpatrons about certain categories of programs such as book
discussions or films.
Our strategies to reach groups who don't use the Library are centered on community
involvement. Participation by the Director and staff in numerous community activities;
maintenance of SkokieNet, the community infonnation site; the New Americans Web
page; ChicagoJobs Web site; voter registration in the Library; exhibits and programs
featuring ethnic cultures; the Library Cable Network are all examples of ways the Library
reaches out to persons who may not have been Library users. Board, Administration and
staff are all encouraged to participate in community activities.
Supplemental Standard 11 refers to making use of the State and national campaigns.
While we tie in to National Library Week, Banned Books Month, etc., we generally have
not used ILA's summer reading theme and have not used ALA's @your library
campaign to the extent we could.
�11
Regarding evaluation, we have surveys to find out how people learned about Library
programs. We also have several vehicles for individual public input through online
comment, forms at each service desk and a suggestion box.
Under the heading of Facilities, all is in good order with the recent renovation and
expansion. Not only was more space allotted for collections, seating areas and meetings,
but the infrastructure was upgraded including replacement of major HVAC components,
plumbing and all lighting. We implemented an RFID security system and security
cameras in both vestibules. We have recently completed E911 compliance which enables
Village emergency personnel to respond to a 911 call, knowing not just that the call came
from 5215 Oakton Street, but that it came from the Reference Desk on the second floor.
This improvement could save vital minutes in response to an emergency.
The standard would call for the Library to have 165 parking spaces. We used to have 135
spaces, shared with the Village. Subsequently, we added 32 public spaces on the west of
the building, but people needed to walk around to the east entrance. With recent
construction, the Library has 85 dedicated public parking spaces on the west side of the
building, near a convenient entrance, as well as 45 dedicated staff parking spaces.
Under System and ILLINET membership responsibilities, the Skokie Public Library has
been an active member ofthe North Suburban Library System. We have had
representation on the NSLS Board in recent years and even had a person serve as
Secretary to the Board. The Library also has representation on the System Director's
Advisory Council. Other staff are involved in NSLS committees and projects. While the
Library still does not offer reciprocal borrowing outside ofNSLS, about 13% of Library
circulation last year was to reciprocal borrowers. Also, the Library participates in
Interlibrary Loan and welcomes the use of computers, attendance at programs and
submission of reference questions (via phone and virtual as well as walk-in) from persons
outside Skokie and the NSLS service area.
The Board thanked Mrs. Anthony for her report.
NORTH SUBURBAN LIBRARY SYSTEM
Mr. Graham will alternately attend NSLS Board meetings. He asked that staff be queried
re someone willing to share attendance with him in alternate months.
