PRESENTATION OF SERVICE CERTIFICATES TO LIBRARY STAFF  

The Friends of the Metropolitan Library System have underwritten a staff recognition service program recognizing staff who have been employed by the Library System for five years or more. The Friends provide an attractive pin with the library system logo and name for staff who have served five years. After l0 years, a ruby is added to the pin; subsequent rubies are added at l0, l5, 20 and 25‐year intervals of service culminating with the addition of a diamond to the pin for 30 years of service. The Library System staff are presented with the pins at a special reception hosted by the Friends each year.  

To complement that recognition of service in a formal way, the Metropolitan Library Commission of Oklahoma County presents service certificates of appreciation to Library System staff for these same increments of service. The staff to be presented with certificates will be recognized at each monthly meeting at which time the certificates are presented.

Memorandum of Understanding – Bethany   Over the past several months, we have reported on the progress at Bethany as they work to secure funding for the renovation / expansion and / or the replacement of the Bethany Library.     In early May, a Request for Qualifications for architects was issued, and to which the City received ten responses.  In late June, four firms were invited to make presentation to the Library Committee, a subset of the City Council, and those presentations occurred on July 16th.   In August, contract negotiation began between the City and Dewberry Architects, and the resulting contract appears on the September 15 City Council Agenda for consideration and possible award.   Phase One of Dewberry’s contract calls for a review on the existing library which will include meetings with City and Library staff, two public meetings, and six to eight focus group meetings to help define the current and future needs.  The current site and alternate building sites will be assessed, and Dewberry will develop a floor plan, furniture layout, and renderings of the “new” library.  The plan will also include a review of the needs of the existing park and pond adjacent to the library building.  A final presentation is expected in early February, and this information will be used as part of Bethany’s bond election process.    Phase Two of Dewberry’s contract will not begin until after the election, and then only if the election is successful.   While the project is not yet funded, the ability to determine our needs and then determine the cost, affords a rare opportunity.  In many cases, the Library has been forced to adjust our needs to match the budget.  By producing the building program prior to the election, we will be more likely to produce a plan that will meet both functional and financial requirements.  In keeping with the current practice of supporting cities with the design costs and recognizing the value of having a clear understanding of the needs at Bethany, the staff proposes to provide funding to support the “programing” element of Dewberry’s contract.  This support will not exceed $20,000.  Staff will provide an overview and answer questions at the meeting.  Funding for this work is available in the 2015‐16 budget.  

ADMINISTRATIVE RECOMMENDATION FOR COMMISSION ACTION:  

Approve the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Bethany and the Metropolitan Library Commission of Oklahoma County.

  EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT   

    SEPTEMBER 2015 

In order to provide you with the information you need to govern the Library, I will break this report into several sections:  1) Projects, outlining work we're planning and implementing; 2) Personnel, providing you with information about our staff and volunteers; and 3) other Items of Interest, which may include news about financial, service, or other issues impacting the Library or the Commission.  I will provide the Commission with an update during the monthly meeting when new or important information is available, and I may touch on other issues not discussed in the written report, but I will not read the report ‐‐ your time is too valuable for that.  Of course, I will invite any and all questions you might have, and I look forward a lively exchange at the meeting next week.    Projects 

1.  Construction Updates 

Jones Library ‐ On Saturday, August 29th, Commissioners Susan Tucker, Beth Toland, Cindy Friedemann, Helene Harpman, Mack Patel, Jim Shonts, Judy Smith, and Alyne Strube attended the Jones Library Ground Breaking at the site of the soon‐to‐be‐new‐library.  There were about 150 people at the event that featured inspired and inspiring words from Mayor Ray Poland, County Commissioner Willa Johnson, and Commissioner Susan Tucker.  State Senator Ron Sharp also joined the group that featured Jones Library specialist Josh Lewis, several of our administrative team, Library Endowment Trust Board Member Catherine Armitage, and Friends of the Library President Paul Thiel.  Always attentive to the public's need for library services, Community Libraries Manager Chris Stofel kept the current library open while we turned a spade of soil in honor of the next chapter for Jones.  We are targeted to be in the new building in Summer 2016. 

Capitol Hill Library ‐ The City of Oklahoma City has decided to move ahead with asbestos removal on the current Capitol Hill Library structure prior beginning the work by the project's general contractor.  As you may recall from my report at the last Commission meeting, this means that we will need to begin removal of library staff, materials, and furnishings by the first week in November with a reopening in the temporary facility on or about November 16th.  This is great news, as we were concerned that the calendar would slip until after the first of the year. 

Del City Library – Library staff have forwarded a draft of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) created by the Commission’s counsel, Bill Comstock, to Del City for consideration.  This MOU will enable the City and the Library to work together to prepare a building program for a new Del City Library.  Dennelle Wrightson of Dewberry Associates will be the architecture firm that will develop the technical building program.  The MOU will be a precursor to the project agreement that will guide the actual design and construction phases of the project. 

Bethany Library – The Bethany City Council approved a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that was written to provide the Library and the City to work together to produce a preliminary building program for the new Bethany Library.  As you may recall, the city will use the building program to plan for a bond election next year that, if approved by the majority of voters, will result in a new library to replace the existing 50‐year‐old facility.  The MOU, which was drafted by the Commission’s counsel, Bill Comstock, is on the Commission’s agenda for consideration at the September 17 meeting.

2.  Financial System Consultant Deputy Executive Director for Business and Support Services and Senior Accountant John Rahhal are in the process of selecting a firm to provide consulting services associated with designing and delivering a new finance and accounting system.  After receiving four valid responses to a request for proposal (RFP), staff have narrowed the field to two and are working through a process to identify the best match for our needs.  While this project will be substantially over the amount budgeted in the preliminary budget, staff are confident that the funds included as part of the final budget (on the agenda for consideration by the Commission on September 17) will be adequate to complete the work.   

 3.  Strategic Planning Consultant 

I have selected a consultant with whom we will work for the development of the Library’s next strategic plan.  Orange Boy – a firm headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, has as their goal to deliver innovative tools and guidance that exceed our clients' financial and operational objectives.  They have worked with Fortune 1000 companies as well as some of the best public libraries around the country, including Columbus Metropolitan (OH), Austin Public Library (TX), Pioneer Library System (OK), and Tulsa City County Library (OK).  Although we received several interesting proposals, our advantage to choosing Orange Boy was their ability to deliver a measurement dashboard that will show real time progress toward strategic and tactical goals and objectives.  We are in final negotiations and should be prepared to sign the contract within a few weeks.  I have reached out to the Long Range Planning Committee Chair Penny McCaleb, and I hope to schedule a meeting in the not‐too‐distant future to review the planning process with the Committee and establish the necessary decision points.  

4.  Budget Revision The FY 2015‐16 budget revision is on the agenda for the September 17 meeting, and the Finance Committee has provided the Commission with its recommendation.  The primary changes from the preliminary budget passed in June are that 1) revenues came in slightly higher than expected; 2) the Defined Benefit Plan was reduced to match the figure provide to us by the actuary; 3) professional services were increase by about $120,000 to cover the costs of the financial consultant, a salary and compensation study, and some miscellaneous business process consulting; and 4) the addition of more than $650,000 to our Capital Projects Reserves (which will be used for future construction and maintenance projects).  As this item is on the agenda for consideration by the full Commission, we will gladly answer any questions you might have about the recommendation.  

5.  TLC User Conference The Library’s vendor for its integrated library system (ILS) will be holding its annual meeting and user conference in Charleston, South Carolina from October 19‐21.  Four staff members including Deputy Executive Director for Technology Anne Fischer will be attending the conference to gain a deeper understanding of the system and to learn how we can take better advantage of its functions and features.  Attendees were chosen based in part on their ability to transfer the knowledge to other staff.  Additionally, I have been asked to serve as the closing keynote speaker for this conference.

minutes, and update and track Library policies.  We will continue to update you on what we discover, and will make a presentation to the Commission at a later meeting.  

7.  Commission Appointments I am happy to report that Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett has reappointed Lori Nelson, Allen Coffey, and Nancy Anthony to the Commission.  All three appointments were unanimously confirmed by the City Council, and they will serve until July 31, 2018.  Please join me in thanking them for their continued work and their willingness to be part of the future of the Metropolitan Library System.  

8.  Retirement It is with a very heavy heart that I announce the retirement of Deputy Executive Director for Materials and Outreach Karen Marriott.  Karen has been a stalwart of the Metropolitan Library System since she joined the organization in 1977 as a Public Services Librarian in Del City.  After a transfer to Belle Isle in 1979, she was promoted to Branch Head in 1982.  She transferred to Bethany as a Library Head in 1985, where she stayed for about 18 months.  It was this extensive understanding for our customers and their informational and reading needs that qualified her to move to the Materials Selection department, first as a Selector in 1987, and six years as the Director of the department.  Karen’s understanding of the publishing industry, library trends, customer use patterns, and her system‐wide approach to information delivery made her a natural for Deputy Executive Director of Materials and Outreach, the position she has held for more than 10 years.  Karen’s very even hand and head will be missed by many in the four departments she has served, and all of us will miss her subtle but strong reverence to the materials and programs that have been at the heart of the Library’s service during her entire tenure.  I will miss Karen ... She is and will continue to be a valued colleagues, a trusted advisor, a discreet confidante, and one‐in‐a‐million.  On behalf of the Metropolitan Library System, I want to thank Karen for her decades of service ... It would not have been possible without your contributions. 

Personnel and other Items of Interest will be reported separately.

A photography exhibit and the newest Share Your Story video, which describes the impact of libraries on the home-less community, will be on view starting at 6 p.m. Monday at the Downtown Library.

The Metropolitan Library System’s Share Your Story video series tells the stories of lives changed through library access and resources. The video collection is avail-able on the library system’s website.

This event tells the story of Robert Hatcher, a for-merly homeless man, who says the library has been a lifeline.

Hatcher was a regular at the Downtown Library and tells how he slept in the courthouse garage, using a cardboard box to keep the cold concrete from touch-ing his skin, and later a down-filled sleeping bag

given to him by a Subway restaurant employee.

His story includes his daily routine of riding the bus to a mission to shower, then going to the library, where he passed the day reading news-papers and studying law. He now supports himself with income from sell-ing the Curbside Chron-icle and his work offering paralegal services.

He still uses the library to do legal research for people who are incarcerated and need help with their cases. He recently was featured on the cover of the Curbside Chronicle and is scheduled to be on the cover of the October issue of the library magazine.

Expanded viewsThe video premieres

alongside a photography exhibit, “How I See OKC,” presented by the Homeless Alliance and the Curb-side Chronicle, which is a magazine that helps homeless people earn money.

The photography proj-ect paired members of the homeless community with professional photog-raphers for a day-in-the-life view of living on the streets.

When the library sys-tem’s digital library man-ager, Kellie Delaney, saw the exhibit in April during its debut at a gallery in the Plaza District, the inclusion of the library in

those photos hit home. There among the photos of makeshift tents, washing machines made from ice chests, cafeteria food trays and worn hands was a bea-con of hope: the library.

Plans to bring the exhibit to the Down-town Library began, and then were expanded to include a Share Your Story video with some of the participants.

The exhibit helped raise money for the Curb-side Chronicle vendors who submitted photos for the project.

Going onThe “How I See OKC”

photo exhibit will be on display in the atrium of the Downtown Library, 300 Park Ave., from Monday through Sept. 30.

The Share Your Story video series collection is available on the Metropol-itan Library System’s web-site at www.metrolibrary.org/stories.

EDMOND — Blue and red balloons were launched Friday morning by stu-dents at Ida Freeman Elementary as part of a STEM activity.

STEM is an acronym referring to the academic disciplines of science, technology, engineering and math.

Fifth-graders calculated the cubic feet of helium necessary to launch the balloons.

They also discussed alti-tude and height and how long the balloons would stay in the air and the dis-

tance from the school.Notes were tied to the

balloons with instructions for people who find them to contact the school and tell the students where the balloon ended up.

About 60 balloons were launched. One balloon barely made it over the fence of the school yard.

Education soars with students’ balloon launch
