System Director's Report:
There was an inquiry about whether or not the Waunakee Public Library building project had been approved. The City of Waunakee City approved the funding for the new library plans and the land has been purchased.

Several other libraries in the system have had updates to their buildings. Rome recently completed an addition and the grand opening will be held June 10th. Randolph recently received new carpeting and roof repair. Currently Deb Haeffner, Building & Design Consultant, is in the process of receiving quotes for work for Plain, Rock Springs and Sauk City.
Discussion: Public Library System Redesign (PLSR) exercise with Library Directors and SCLS staff:
The board was asked to write down their “fears” and “hopes” regarding the PLSR process. A compilation of the results from the SCLS staff, Member Library Directors and the SCLS Board will be put together. The information will be forwarded to the PLSR Steering Committee.
Some questions that were asked include: What really is the problem we are trying to solve? Equity of Service? What does that mean? We don’t have equity of funding throughout the state. So unless you have a single pot of money paying for it, you won’t receive it.
Do we collectively have a clear idea of a goal?
What were the thoughts and fears that the directors shared at the All Directors meeting? Is there a difference between smaller and larger libraries?
K. Goeden has been appointed to the PLSR HR steering committee. V. Teal Lovely has been appointed to the PLSR Funding committee.
