Study room for one?
by Reed, Nyama 17 Dec '19

17 Dec '19

Hi. I just saw an ad for this online. Study room for one??? It's the size of a phone both with a small desk, air fans, power outlets and room for 1 stool or chair. $3495. By comparison when I looked into the cost of turning a nook area into an extra enclosed study room that was $20k-30k. Sitting inside it is 36x38 inches. 80 inches tall. Just putting this out there as an outside the box idea. Has anyone on the list used something like this for solo study rooms? Obviously people wouldn't be able to spread out but they could fit a laptop on the "desk" and have some peace and quiet. FYI, my library currently has only 2 private study rooms and people are always jockeying to get one. https://files.room.com/Room_One_Spec_Sheet.pdf [cid:image007.jpg@01D5B438.B95177F0] [cid:image008.jpg@01D5B438.B95177F0] Sincerely, Nyama Nyama Y.

Director of Central Library Services, St. Louis Public Library (MO) Closes Sunday, Dec. 22
by Jobeth Bradbury 17 Dec '19

17 Dec '19

Director of Central Library Services-St. Louis Public Library (MO)-Closing Sunday, Dec. 22! Be the advocate, catalyst and curator for the premier cultural destination in downtown St. Louis-the recognized center of the arts, culture and research for the City and region-The Central Library! The St. Louis Public Library<https://www.slpl.org/> seeks an enthusiastic, innovative, and engaged leader for Central Library services to advance our primary mission as a progressive and customer-centered public library providing vital services to the people of St. Louis. As part of a three-member administrative team, the Director of Central Services (DCS) reports to the Chief Public Services Officer and works in tandem with the Director of Neighborhood Services-these three positions are responsible for providing excellent, effective, and efficient library services to our customers--working closely with the Library's CEO and function as key members of the Library's administrative team to realize the Library's Strategic Plan<https://www.slpl.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2017/03/2017-STRATEGIC-PLA…>. St. Louis Public Library (SLPL) is a true urban library and independent political subdivision of the state of Missouri, representing the historic center of the St. Louis region-the City of St. Louis. With an increasingly diverse population of 310,000 (at the core of a metropolitan population of 2.85 million), St. Louis has world-class cultural and recreational assets, but is also challenged with pockets of deep urban poverty and decline, high illiteracy rates, and low public education attainment, often existing in close proximity to great wealth and privilege. The Library is a vital bridge between those worlds. With its roots in the mid-1800s, St. Louis Public Library has a long history of innovation and service to this community, a large and varied collection, and a diverse staff of 400. Our technology is a major resource throughout the City and beyond, and the Library makes an enormous annual investment in technology to provide state-of-the-art services. The Library operates 17 locations in a relatively small city of 61 square miles-and they range from magnificent Central Library--one of the world's great public libraries-to regional and neighborhood libraries that vary in size and design but are centerpieces in their communities. St. Louis was an early, passionate supporter of library services to children, and that remains a core value and mission. All St. Louis residents live within 1.7 miles of a library. With a 2020 budget of $28 million, the Library enjoys the support of an active and influential Foundation underwriting many programs and services. Director of Central Services Responsibilities. Central Library is at the heart of the St. Louis Public Library system. An architectural masterpiece by renowned architect Cass Gilbert, renovated and restored during a major three-year construction project costing $70 , the nationally award-winning result reopened to the public in 2012. Today's Central Library offers rich historical and digital resources as well as attractive popular collections and services. Central Library itself houses over 2.9 million items, and the DCS is also responsible for a remote storage facility located a few blocks from Central Library that houses an additional two million items. The DCS supervises a motivated staff of 109, including nine librarians and nine managers-and will be responsible for not only managing but motivating and developing this staff. This position offers the chance to help grow and develop new visions for public librarianship from a strong tradition and extraordinary history. The Library is looking for someone who wants to be part of and help create a strong culture of collegiality and partnership, and who believes a public library can only be truly excellent when its entire staff is proud of their mission and performance and enjoys their work. For additional perspective on the position, the Library, and the area, see the complete Position Profile<http://www.bradburymiller.com/slpljobdesc.pdf> and SLPL Links<http://www.bradburymiller.com/slpllinks.htm>. Qualifications. Minimum qualifications include a master's degree in Library Science from an ALA accredited program (or its equivalent in education and/or experience) and three or more years of positive and successful experience managing in a museum or a multiple-location library system, coordinating and balancing library operations, assuring excellence and uniformity of service. Additional desired skills and experience include: a high level of experience in staff development and team-building; a history of motivating high performance, implementing fair standards and resources, and clear evaluation of staff; knowledge of how to draw in new users, particularly in an urban setting; experience in strategic institutional planning and project management; the ability to plan and communicate decisions clearly; to know when consensus is beneficial and when to drive decisions; familiarity with fiscal management and budgeting; knowledge of trends, best practices, and technology innovations in library services: and excellent communication, writing, and speaking skills. Compensation. The hiring salary range is $95,000 - $115,000 (with placement dependent upon experience and qualifications) with an attractive benefits package-including potential relocation assistance.

FW: Libraries with 501(c)(3) status
by Reed, Nyama 16 Dec '19

16 Dec '19

Thanks to Jim MacLean at CADL for forwarding this article to me. I have never heard of a library itself being a 501(c)3 and from what I have read I didn't think it was allowed. So I am now interested in seeing what Michigan libraries who have made this change have to say in response to Rebecca's question. This is why I love to stay in touch with Michigan libraries despite being in Wisconsin now. Each state has its own way of doing things, plus visionary changes to the usual way for library-ing that we don't hear about. https://www.grbj.com/articles/80463-irs-approves-nonprofit-status-for-kent-… Sincerely, Nyama Nyama Y. Reed Library Director N.Reed(a)WFBLibrary.org 414-755-6551 (direct line) Whitefish Bay Public Library 5420 North Marlborough Drive Whitefish Bay, WI 53217 414-964-4380 (main line) Our Mission The Whitefish Bay Public Library, as a cornerstone of the community, is dedicated to connecting people of all ages, inspiring a love of learning and providing easy access to ideas, information and resources. *Please be advised electronic mail becomes a "public record" as allowed under public record laws when sent or received as part of normal business processes. ----Original Message----- From: michlib-l-bounces(a)mcls.org <michlib-l-bounces(a)mcls.org> On Behalf Of Reed, Nyama via Michlib-l Sent: Friday, December 13, 2019 10:19 AM To: michlib-l(a)mcls.org Subject: Re: [Michlib-l] Libraries with 501(c)(3) status Hello Rebecca, I have been working on such a thing for the past 2 years. To my understanding, the library itself cannot be a 501(c)3. Please see this summary: " Public libraries that are government agencies can receive donations, and they are tax-deductible for donors, so the question is, should your Friends or foundation become a 501(c)(3)?" Hence a library CANNOT be a 501(c)3, rather they can have a Friends or Foundation that is a 501(c)3 and provides the library with additional financial support. https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__librarystrategiesconsul… They are then legally and financially separate from the library. This can have positives and negatives. My library already has a Friends group that has been operating long before my 6 years here. They are excellent. They have all the requisite paperwork in place and used a lawyer to help them set it up years ago. There is a board with monthly meetings and a treasurer, who happens to be an accountant, who handles all the money and the annual tax returns. The library cannot tell them what to do, since they are legally separate. They choose to give us money and approve what we use it for. This year they gave us $35,000 and we use the money for programming, tech, and furniture - "enhancements" not in our operational budget which is funded by tax dollars and fines. We are in the process of also creating a 501(c)3 Foundation, with a different mission than the Friends group. The goal of the Foundation is specifically to raise $5 million, which will then be invested and the annual interest income will be given to the library to support our strategic plan initiatives (i.e. a building study, new study rooms, more solid funding for programming, staff and collections). 1. Did you pay an attorney? Yes, we interviewed 4 attorneys based on recommendations from other libraries or online reviews. There were surprisingly few attorneys in the Milwaukee area that specialized in setting up non-profits. Certainly, you could use any lawyer, not one who specializes. Another area library used an attorney to set up their fund after receiving a $5.5 Million bequest and the total bill was between $10k-20k. Bc the attorney can be very expensive, and we don't have that amount of money, we are writing the bylaws ourselves using other library foundation bylaws as an example. We will then run the final bylaws by the attorney with questions and have her file the official state paperwork and the IRS paperwork. Luckily we have an attorney on the Foundation Board and she has helped us hone things with a legal eye, though her area of expertise is not in establishing non-profits. We are hoping our total attorney costs will be under $5k. 2. Did you use free legal assistance? In my experience free "legal aid" doesn't do this sort of thing and as mentioned above we were not able to find a local lawyer willing to do it for free. It's still worth the effort to see if you can find an area attorney who will work with you for free or lower cost, or even get them to join the Board. 3. How long did the process take? Don't be scared off by my saying I have been working on it for two years. We created a very large, ambitious, strategic plan in 2016. In 2017 we started looking at what it would take to create the foundation, then create the investment fund at the area Community Foundation (i.e. the actual investment vehicle), etc. We interviewed attorneys this past Spring, then interviewed people for the Foundation Board, I started the Bylaws based on examples and have been sending them to the board members via email for feedback. We were delayed by a couple urgent big issues that came up and took my time away from the bylaws, and then I got a concussion which resulted in no work on it for 2 months. I am back at it with the goal of finishing the bylaws draft by the end of this month and completing the Foundation paperwork with the lawyer in the 1st quarter of 2020. I would imagine setting up a Friends group would be much easier time-wise. A full foundation for investment purposes is a little more work. 4. What are the pros in being a 501(c)(3)? Again a library itself is not allowed to be a 501(c)3. I think the more accurate question is what are the pros and cons of a library establishing a Friends group or a Foundation. The pros are you have people interested in raising money for your library and then giving you the money for library projects. They provide financial support beyond what the municipal tax base provides. They can organize and hold book sales or "wine tastings" as special events. Things that staff don't have the time to do. 5. Are there cons in being a 501(c)(3)? The cons to a Friends group or Foundation is that they may view the raised money as THEIRS. Their territory. And they may not approve you using it for what you wish, or they turn it into a fiefdom with feelings of power. I have seen very dysfunctional Friends and Foundations and have heard horror stories from other libraries. Thankfully my current Friends group has no drama or power issues. I am working very hard to set-up our coming Foundation so they raise the money, it goes directly into the investment fund, and then the interest income is passed to the library at the end of the year to "support the Library Board approved strategic plan initiatives." The Foundation will have no input in how the money is used and cannot say "no." Another con may be that your municipality may say: Oh, you have $5 million in your foundation so we can cut your budget... I have found that getting "only" $35k from our Friends group does not impact our municipal funding. When it comes up I explain that the Friends enable us to replace all of our furniture so we didn't have to make a capital request to the Village for it. With the goal of $5 million in a fund, potentially generating interest income of $250,000/year (fyi, our annual budget is $800,00 of which we get $700,000 in municipal taxes), we will protect the money by having donors specifically state what the money is for. i.e. strategic initiatives, not new carpeting or the electric bill. My advice is to figure out WHY you or someone else wants the library to be a 501c3 - or more accurately - why you want Friends or a Foundation to do fundraising for you and give you extra money. How much? $5,000 per year in book sales or $1 million for a building addition? Knowing your end goal will help you determine if it is worth it. I don't know that it'd be worth the effort for $1,000/yr. But maybe for $5k-10k/yr. Definitely for $35k-250k/yr. 6. Is your Friends group a 501(c)(3)? Yes 7. In retrospect, are you glad your library is a 501(c)(3)? Not applicable. 8. Is the ROI worth it? The ROI on our Friends is totally worth it. The pending ROI on a Foundation remains to be seen, but if we do not raise $5 Million and use it to solidify our funding base, then we will end up having to make major cuts in the future. Avoiding cuts, and potentially finding extra enhancement, makes it worth it to me. Best of luck on whatever path you take. Feel free to email or call me anytime to ask questions. And check out this article on how my neighboring library set-up and defined what their bequest will be used for (i.e. protecting it from calls to use it for operational expenses). PS I'm totally happy for them but jealous that they got a huge donation and I am working to raise that much. :-) https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.jsonline.com_story… Sincerely, Nyama Nyama Y.

It is with a heavy heart that I share some sad news today. Linda Sickles passed away yesterday. Linda was the director of the Orion Township Public Library for 31 years, starting in late 1980.

She was involved in many activities and organizations in the Lake Orion community over her tenure, and she brought much joy to all who lived here. I do not have any arrangements to share at this time, but drop me a line if you want me to pass along anything further if I find out more.
