r
DIRECTOR'S REPORT
USAGE----Circulation in August was up by nearly one third, even though the
Bookmobil~
was off the road for one week. Adult use was up nearly 40%, with
circulation of books up 20% for the month. Borrowing of DVDs was up 100%, with
.
/,
check-outofperiodicals posting nearly aslarge a gain. Youth circulation was strong in all
areas except audio, keeping up the momentum of the summer reading program, even after
its conclusion. The gate count was up 11% for the month as near~y 75,000 came through
the doors. To think that August used to be considered a "slow month"!
CASH FLOW---~ The Library received about $106,000. in property tax from Cook
County in August, from delayed receipt of spring collections. Tllis represents about 20%
of the shortage in the Library's collection of the spring levy. We will begin borrowing
from our own Reserve Fund for Sites and Buildings to cover the cost of operations this
month, with the expectation of repaying the Reserve Fund when receipts start corning in
after the tax bills are mailed. ANovember 1 date for the mailing of tax bills is
anticipated.
ROBBINS LIBRARY:----Priscilla Coatney, Director ofthe William Leonard Library in
Robbins, called to thank the Skokie Public Library for its generous contributions, in
addition to sending the letter which is included in the Board packet. She said that they
would not have made payroll without Skokie's donation. Congressman Rush has moved
to accelerate payment of half the $50,000. grant which will be coming to Robbins from
the federal government. Ms. Coatney said that owners of nearly 40% of properties in ·
Robbins did not pay taxes this spring and one of the largest businesses in town closed.
Mrs. Anthony also spoke with Alice Calabrese, Director of the Metropolitan Library
System in which the William Leonard Library is located. She said that System staff will
be working with the Library in Robbins on long-term viability. There are a couple other
libraries in the System on shaky ground. Press coverage of the plight of the Library in
Robbins has been good and Skokie Public Library has received praise for its support. We
can hope that the publicity brings .other contributors forward. Book sale receipts in
�3
.·
August were $1,039.50. Because only $968.25 was deposited in August, that sum will be
sent to the William Leonard Library in September and the balance will be sent in October
with September proceeds. Mrs, Anthony asked the Board to confirm that receipts should
continue to be sent to the William Leonard Public Library District.
A motion was made by Mr. Graham, seconded by Mrs. Parrilli:
MOTION:
THAT THE SKOKIE PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES
CONFIRMS THAT RECEIPTS FROM SKOKIE fUBLIC LIBRARY'S
ONGOING BOOK SALE SHOULD BE SENT TO THE WILLIAM
LEONARD PUBLIC LIBRARY DISTRICT IN ROBBINS, ILLINOIS,
UNTIL JANUARY 1, 2010; THIS ITEM WILL BE DISCUSSED AT
THE JANUARY 2010 BOARD MEETING.
Mrs. Rich arrived at 7:41p.m.
The roll call vote for approval was unanimous.
BACKLOT BASH----The Backlot Bash was held the weekend of August 28-30 and the
Library was open throughout without incident. Mrs. Anthony reqeived no complaints
from the public regarding rwise or difficulty parking or anything else in regard to the
Bash. Use of the Library appeared to be lighter than usual Saturday and about normal
Sunday. The Library's Storm Chaser program was well received.
ATTEMPTED BREAK.:.IN----Rich Simon discovered an'attempted break-in ofthe
Library some time in August. Someone had tried to jimmy the lock cylinder ofthe
emergency door to the basement and also attempted to force open one of the exhaust
louver fins. No entry was gained through those access points or any other that staff can
observy. A police report was filed.
STAFF.PICNIC----The annual staff picnic was held August 27. A good time was had by
all in spite of the rain that kept staff from using the roof deck for the occasion. Staff is
most appreciative of the Board's generosity in providing this event.
CHAMBER BOARD AT THE LIBRARY----The Board of the Skokie Chamber of
Commerce held its August meeting at the Library. Toby Greenwalt, Virtual Services
Coordinator, talked about developments in access through texting and the planned
opening of the Digital Media Lab in early September. Mike Buhmann, Reference
Librarian, demonstrated use of the Business Portal, an online interface to several
databases licensed by the Library as well as other business resources. It was
enthusiastically received.
�4
SUMMER READING TROPHY----Several staff members and·Mrs. Anthony attended
the recent presentation ofthe trophy to Middleton School for the highest number of
children completing the summer reading program. The Mayor was also on hand to
congratulate the students. Clearly, the Principal, School Librarian and teachers had done
a lot to promote the summer reading program and the element of competition engaged the
children who were delighted that they had succeeded in winning the trophy away from ,
Highland School which won the award last summer.
AUDIT AND APPRAISAL"'----The auditors have completed their work at the Library and
r.
.
•
.
expect to have a draft report ready soon. They raised no issues this year. Staff also
completed the annual update of the Library's .appraisal and have reviewed a draft of that
.
report. When the fin,al report is received, it will be sent to Boyle, Flagg and Seaman for
.
I
use inpreparing the insurance proposals for the Library.
ILA BOARD AND COMMITTEE DAY----As Chair of the ILA Fundraising Committee,
Mrs~
Anthony attended the annual ILA Board and Committee Day in Peoria August 18.
The Fundraising Committee has obtained approval from the ILA Board for a new
prograni called Illinois Library Luminaries that
will recognize persons who have made
outstanding contributions to libraries in Illinois and are deser'Ving of perpetual
remembrance. Submissions of candidates must be accompanied by a $1,000. gift to the
ILA Endowment. Those approved by the ILA Board for recognition will have their
photos and
accomplis~ents
posted on display boards at the ILA Conference, be featured
on the ILA website and belisted in the annual ILA Handbook and Directory. It is hoped
this will be a way to ensure lasting recognition of deserving individuals and continuing
strength for the Association. Nearly $12,000. was raised in honor of Peggy Sullivan, tl;te
first Luminary who was recognized this past year.
BERGLUND CONSTRUCTION----Mrs. Anthony received a flyer from Berglund
Construction, the firm used by the Library for construction management during the 2001
building project, that they were the builders of The Ledge, the glass extension on Willis
Tower (formerly Sears Tower).
DIGITAL MEDIA LAB----The Digital Media Lab on the first floor had a soft opening
today, September 9.
ADOPTION OF TAX LEVY
Mrs. Anthony announced that at this meeting, the Board needs to adopt a tax levy for
transmission to the Village of Skokie. The 2009 levy will be introduced as part of the
�5
· Village's Levy Ordinance in early December and acted on before the end of December.
This levy will fund the Library's 2010-2011 Fiscal Year.
The Reserve Fund has been replenished due to levy increases in recent years and now has
a healthy balance of over $2,675,000., inCluding the transfer of $1,500,000. from the
'
.
.
Operating Fund at the end ofFY 2009. Unfortunately, collection of the Spring 2009
property taxes was considerably below normal levels, leaving Working Cash shorter than
is desirable. As of September, the Library will already begin borrowing from its Reserve
Fund in order to meet monthly yXpenses. With Cook County tax bills not expected to be
sent until November 1, the Library will not see significant revenue from the Fall
C9llection before mid-November. FortUnately, the Library collected over $100,000. in
late collections from the Spring this past month, representing about 20% of the collection
shortage. lt will certainly help if a large proportion of the remaining Spring collection is
received in early Fal~.
With the transfer of$1,500,006. to the Reserve Fund, the unaudited balance in the
General Operating Fund at the start,ofthe Fiscal Year was $3,206,906. With monthly
expenditures of about $800,000. this balance is sufficient to carry the Library through
I
four months.
If the tax bills were sent out August 1, the cash flow would have been fine. Mrs. Anthony
expects that there will be a balance in the General Operating Fund at the end ofFY 2010
and the Library might do well to leave most, if not all, of it in the Working Cash Fund to
provide for at least a fifth month of operating cash.
In spite of the current shortage in the Working Cash Fund, the Skokie Public Library's
financial position continues to be sound. Last month, Mrs. Anthony distributed figures
for a 4% increase in the levy which would yield an estimated $12,494,637. in revenues in
Fiscal Year 2011. A 3% increase in the levy will yield approximately $177,000.less.
Given current economic conditions in the country and region as a whole, Board approval.
'
of a 2009levy of$12,141,016.00, representing a 3% increase over the :i008levy of
$11,787,395.00 is ·requested.
A motion was made by Dr. Wozniak, seconded by Mr. Basofin:
MOTION:
THAT THE SKOKIE PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES
ADOPT AN OPERATING TAX LEVY IN THE AMOUNT OF
$12,141,016.00 FOR THE YEAR 2009, REPRESENTING A 3%
INCREASE OVER THE 2008 LEVY.
�6
· The roll call vote for approval was unanimous.
· . PER CAPITA GRANT REQUIREMENTS
Mrs. Anthony is preparing an application for a Per Capita Grant, to be submitted to the
State Library by October 15. The amount for which the Library is eligible will be 16%
less (a little more than $12,000.) than last year due to lack of funds. This means that the
Library should receive a Per Capita Grant in 2010 of approximately $64,375.
In order to qualify for the Per Capita Grant, the State Library issues a list of requirements
each year. The Library must file an Annual Report with the State Library within 30 days
ofthe end ofthe Fiscal Year. This has been completed. The Library is to review the latest·
ILLINET Interlibrary Loan Code. Staff reviewed the new ILL Code in advalfce of the
. December Board meeting and the Board reviewed and adopted the Code December 10,
2008.
Also in regard to standards, the Library is supposed to review the new Chapter 8 of
Serving Our Public 2.0: Standards for Illinois Public Libraries. The Chapter is entitled
"Public Services: Reference and Reader's Advisory Services." The Department Heads
reviewed this chapter and made a few observations. Standard #3 states that "The library
provides staff trained in reference services to meet the needs of patrons who have
challenges with disabilities, ·language and literacy." This is one of those standards that is
hard to meet 100%. The Library has a long history with SALS and Come On In!, but
.needs to continually offer training for staff in meeting the needs of persons with
disabilities. Similarly, with Skokie's diverse population, there is always room for growth
in service to patrons challenged by the English language. In recent years, the Library has
hired more librarians skilled in speaking another language in addition to English.
PolyTalk, a service providing on-demand translation; coordinated by the Lincoln Trail
Library System, was also promoted~
Standard 7 states that "The library provides easy access to accurate and up-to-date
community infonnation/resource files." This is something the Library has done for years
and greatly improved this past year with conver:sion of SkokieNet to.an updated version
of Drupal software.
Standard 13 states that "The library provides information about local history and events:"
Skokie Public Library has done this for years in a variety of ways such as indexing the
local newspaper. In recent years, staff have digitized local history files in the collecti_ons
of the Library and the Skokie Historical Society. The digitized files were entered into
NSLS regional Digital Past database. It is a source of concern that an upgrade of the
�7
database by NSLS resulted in some scrambling of data and possible loss of some
information. The System has been months trying to restore the files.
Standard 18 states that "The library accepts and responds to reference requests received
via e-mail, IM (instant messaging), texting, and/or virtual reference." Wit~n the past
year, staffhave completed an objective related to texting so staff does now respond to
reference and reader's advisory requests in all the named forms.
Standard 19 states that "The library annually evaluates its reference services for accuracy,
timeliness, staff friendliness, and patron ease." While staff perform regular suantitat!ve
analysis, we could look more at qualitative evaluation of reference service.
Standard 3 of Reader's Advisory standards is, "The library participates in interlibrary
loan and resource sharing to help provide accurate and timely reader's ~dvisory service."
·The Library's participation in LINK.in, allowing fast, patron-initiated resource sharing
with Arlington Heights Memorial Library and the Gail Borden Memorial Library in Elgin
ha$ helped Library staff provide materials to patrons in a timely manner.
Standard 6 for Reader's Advisory states that "Staff members who are responsible for
reader's advisory services in their library should attempt to stay current with community
events by participating in community organizations, clubs, or councils." While adult
public service staff have not necessarily participated in community organizations in the
past, it is a current objective for all staffto participate in the activity of atleast one
.j
organization.
Another requirement for the Per Capita Grant is that the Board review policies as
identified in illinois Library Laws & Rules, January 2008 and address compliance or
improvement issues. Board members were issued copies of Illinois Library Laws 2008 in
April 2009, when they were received from ILA. The Board discussed the Open Meetings
Act at their March meeting and the Freedom of Information Act in July, appointing Susan
Dickens as the Board's representative in responding to Freedom of Information inquiries.
Other policies reviewed this past year include: Compensation Philosophy and Strategy
(July, 2008), Disability leave (September, 2008), ILI;-INET and ILL Loan Code
(December, 2008), Open Meetings Act (March, 2009) and DVD and Video Policy (May,
2009). Materials Selection was last reviewed in February, 2008 and wilt be due to review
again in February 201 0." This past year, the Board also filled a vacancy on the Board in
keeping with the provision of the law for so doing ..
Staff and Board are also to review the most recently published Administrative Ready
Reference. This is a voluminous publication,· issued on CD, and many of the provisions
�8
are for public library districts. Portions of the publication were issued to the Library's
.two newest trustees as part of their orientation. An example of a policy covered by the
Administrative Ready Reference is the Board's Investment Policy which the Board
reviewed earlier this year in consideration of the opportunity to participate in the CDARS
\
program. The Board decided not to participate in the program and to review the
Investment Policy again in November 2009. Every couple years, the Board reviews the
Non-Resident Fee, another matter covered by Administrative Ready Reference. For about
twenty years now, theBoard has elected to continue with the option of using the average
feeinNSLS.·
Another requirement is for the Library t6 have a plan for ongoing building maintenance,
replacement and repairs. Our Head of Maintenance Rich Simon does maintain such a
plan and schedule.
In the area oftechriology, there are two requirements. One is to complete a technology
inventory, using TechAtlas for Libraries. While the Library has a technology inventory
for insurance purposes, it has not all been entered in TechAtlas, but staff is working on
completing that.
The second technology requirement is to determine ifthe Library's website is ADA
compliant: Gail Shaw, System Administrator, has looked into this question. Compliance
is a matt~r of degree. Even in the buildmg, statT are quite attentive to complianc~, but we
are unable to make the stage wheelchair accessible. Compliance guidelines allow for an
alternative. In the case 6fthe Library's website, while not all inforination (particularly
graphics).on the Library's primary website is accessible, the mobile platform for
smartphones is text-based and accessible, providing an acceptable alternative.
With the Board's approval, Mrs. Anthony will submit this review along with the·
Library's Per Capita Grant application.
After brief discussion, the Board approved Mrs. Anthony submitting the review along
with the Library's Per Capita Grant application.
COMMUNITY DATA SUPPORT FOR STRATEGIC PLANNING
Mrs. Anthony explained that this fall and winter, the Library needs to' complete a new
three year strategic planning process as the current plan is for the period 2007-2010.
Ideally, the plan will be completed before the budget is fmalized for FY 2011 in April,
2010.
�9
One of the challenges of undertaking a planning process at this time is that there has been
considerable demographic change in Skokie in recent years and the Census data from
2000 is out-of-date. There have been some updates through sampling as reported in the
American Community Survey conducted by the Census. Nevertheless, the need for
current and precise information on which to base Library planning is criticaL
Marketing experts in the commercial sector know how to collect and analyze data.
CIVICTechnologies is a company that has worked with a number of other public libraries
and library systems to collect and display information about the community and library
use in ways that make it 19-eaning:ful. For the price of a community survey (15 minute
telephone interview of a sainple of residents by Northern Illinois University), the Library
will get mapped data to the block level about Skokie, correlated with use data from a two
month study of actual patron use of the Library.
This study will enable staff to see the intensity of Library use from different geographic
areas of Skokie, frequency of Library use, user information such as whether persons who
check out DVDs generally also check out print resources, use patterns by age group, etc.
c
As explained by Marc Futtennan, in order to obtain the user data, they will analyze
specific patron transactions-eg. User A, a senior from zip code 60077, visited the
Library three times during the two month sample period, borrowing three fiction titles
and two I).On-fiction titles on one visit, two DVDs and a nonfiction title on another visit,
and one DVD and a fiction title on the third visit. Of course, the specifics of one patron
are not as much of interest as is the aggregated pattern of use by all seniors in 60077, etc.
The data gained from the library circulation system will be correlated with other known
data regarding education, income, ethnicity and geography to develop a clearer picture of
who is (and who is not) using the Library.
This is similar to the kind of analysis' that is done regularly through use of a Jewel or
Dominick's card. CIVICTechnologies is sensitive to the Library's concern for
maintaining patron privacy. Exhibit B is their Privacy Policy re the safeguarding of
information linked to individuals. They have a track record with libraries and we have
talked with libraries that have used CIVICTechnologies to confirm that they abide by
their Privacy Policy.
Mrs. Anthony thinks this is an exciting opportunity to get more detailed information
about library use patterns than we have ever had before. The Library need not commit to
Phase 2 at this time. We can wait and see what we think of the data presented from Phase
1 before making that decision. Mrs. Anthony recommends that the Board approve
�10
contracting with CIVICTechnologies for the development. of planning information as
described in Phase 1 for the fee of$29,000.
After brief discussion, Mr. Graham made a motion, seconded by Dr. Wozniak:
MOTION:
THAT THE SKOKIE PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES
APPROVE CONTRACTING WITH CIVICTECHNOLOGIES FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF PLANNING INFORMATION AS DESCRIBED
IN PHASE 1-0F THEIR QUOTE FOR THE FEE OF $29,000.00.
The roll was called: Mr. Basofin-.yes; Mrs. Rich-:yes; Mrs. 9reer-no; Mrs. Parrilliyes; Mr. Graham-yes; Dr. Wozniak-yes; Mrs. Hunter-yes. The motion passed.
CURRENT FEES & RATIONALE
Mrs. Anthony said it has been some time s1nce the Board has reviewed the schedule of
fees and rationale: Since 2001, a number of these fees have been eliminated. The fee for
video entertainment was dropped in May. There is no fee for any online searching on the
World Wide Web or in licensed databases as there was when the Library used Dialog
with per minute connect fees. The Suburban Audio Visual Service is no longer a System
service. After a trial period with the fee to encourage pick-up of reserved and ILL
material, it was decided to drop this. The perception of the fee was negative.
. The Board will note that the Library is left with few fees. From time to time, there· is a
suggestion that some programs be offered for a fee. However, it is hatd to know how
such·a practice might workout. On the one hand, the Library would probably want to
adopt a "scholarship" program for persons for whom the fee would be a hardship. Also,
. some of the speakers and performers who appear at the Library gratis or for a nominal fee
might start to charge. Although the Park District·has fees for most of their programs, Mrs,
Anthony recommends continuing the current policy of no fees for programs.
After brief discussion, the. Board agreed the Current Fees & Rationale are fine ..
