Library Director’s Report and Staff Activities
for the November 18, 2019 Board Meeting

Impact Stories
A regular Studio patron attended a jewelry making class with her mother-in-law from out of the country. She
pulled me aside the next day to tell me how much they enjoyed that class and that she appreciates that we
offer such fun and creative programs for adults. She said she was grateful to have something she and her
relative could do and be creative together outside of the house. -Erin Collins, Adult Services Librarian

Katie Cangelosi, Head of Circulation, was working in the Youth Services department and had a delightful
interaction with a young patron. As the patron was leaving, she said “Mom, I made a new friend today!” her
mom responded, “oh yeah, did you?” and the young patron said “Yes! Her name is Miss Katie!”

Financial Report

• Revenues are coming in slightly higher than budgeted at 47.5%
• Expenses are running under with the library fund at 28.63%; this is due to the lack of capital
expenditures
• The building fund is running slightly high at 37%, this is mainly due to maintenance issues that were
addressed in the building
• In IT We are now paying our CCS consortia payments quarterly and will see them be combined in the
next report (CCS Operating and OCLC)
• Studio Supplies will be moved into the programs category and from the administration category.

The Source:
The winter issue of The Source should be in District homes by November 23. We are adding more book related
and library news to the publication to better represent the breadth of Library services to all postal residents.
We look forward to continuing to evolve the publication to fully represent the Library’s services and engage
our patrons.
NOVEMBER 2019 MONTHLY UPDATE ON
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND RESPONSIVENESS

SUMMARY: STRATEGY & STATUS.


Work continues on our multifaceted response to community concerns. The main elements of
this program are:
1. Direct responses to specific concerns raised in meetings and listening sessions.
Goal: Respond to community concerns with transparency and
in accordance with overall Library strategy.
2. Enhanced active community engagement and listening.
Goal: Identify and engage community concerns and perceptions;
use that information to drive strategy, service, and programming.
3. Internal (staff) dialogue on culture, practices, priorities and customer experi-
ence.
Goal: Ensure open communication with staff; ensure passionate commitment to custom-
er service; establish standards to assess performance of staff and management towards
goals.

The following items are highlights of our actions and plans on these issues.
1. Direct responses to specific concerns raised in meetings and listening sessions.
We have compiled information regarding disconnection and its impact on the library,
its operations, and community costs.
2. General directions for community engagement.
We are continuing our expanded community engagement and listening campaign.
3. Internal (staff) dialogue around community concerns and customer experience.
Our dialogue on values and customer experience has continued and enhanced our
Draft Strategic Plan. We continue to collaborate with and support the work of our
human resources representative from HR Source.
November 2019 Monthly Update on
Community Engagement and Reponsiveness

NOVEMBER ACTIONS ON PLAN

The following are specific and noteworthy actions taken in execution of the plan.

Enhanced active community engagement and listening.


We have continued the following community engagement actions:

• Community Engagement and Listening Meetings;


• Fireside chats (two have been held);
• The first event on “how the library works” has been scheduled and posted; and
• Names are being received for the Community Advisory Task Force.

Community Engagement and Listening Meetings.


Goals: Hold 3–5 meetings with top community leaders.
Timeframe: by November board meeting.

Status: In addition to last month’s meetings (with the Northfield Village President; the
Winnetka-Northfield Chamber Executive Director; and the District 29 Superinten-
dent) we met this month with the North Shore Senior Center, Northfield Community
Church, and Northfield’s Church of the Ascension.
Outcomes: We continued to hear a high sense of satisfaction in the Library, its programs
and its facilities. We heard that people in the community are proud of their library and
enjoy their experience when they use it.
Key Milestones: Six meetings have been completed. There is discussion of a collaborative
lunch with community leaders to continue discussions regarding the Library, commu-
nity perceptions, and community engagement.
Next steps: Plan additional community meetings and explore a Leaders Lunch event.

Fireside Chats.
Goals: To give community members an opportunity to meet with the Library Director
and key staff for wide-ranging discussions about the Library’s operations, facilities, its
programs, and the overall experience. These discussions will give Library management
more information regarding community concerns and priorities.
November 2019 Monthly Update on
Community Engagement and Reponsiveness

Timeframe: These events will be monthly for the next few months, at which time their
role will be evaluated.
Key Milestones: Two fireside chats have been held, and additional chats are scheduled,
and the dates posted.
Next Steps: Following the December Fireside Chats, we will compile key findings and
concerns, and develop action items to address those issues as appropriate.

Presentations, lectures and workshops on “how the library works.”


Goals: To create greater transparency of the Library’s operations, and to better inform
the Library’s customers regarding operational options and constraints.
Timeframe: By the beginning of year, we will develop an initial set of programs on these
topics, post them on our website and in the libraries, and hold an inaugural event by
the end of the year.
Status: The inaugural event has been scheduled and posted. The event will address col-
lections: the library’s goals and practices.
Key Milestones: Statement of purpose for these events; announcement of initial events;
and an inaugural event by end of year.
Next Steps: Planning and holding the first event and subsequent events, posting, and con-
ducting subsequent meetings.
November 2019 Monthly Update on
Community Engagement and Reponsiveness

Suggested Action: Community Advisory Task Force.


Concept: We are moving ahead on the creation of a seven- to ten-person Community
Advisory Task Force to facilitate better community engagement and responsiveness by
the Library.
Charge: The task force will discuss and evaluate community responsiveness, customer
experience, facilities, programs and broad library policy issues. The Task Force will
report back to the Board within six months.
Composition: Seven to ten persons, with a balance of members from each village. In or-
der to ensure the autonomy of this body, the Library will not nominate its members.
Nominations will be made by public leaders from each community (e.g., Village presi-
dent, chamber executive, school superintendent or Rotary), and one at large from each
community.
Timing: We have obtained a number of nominations from those public leaders and we are
confirming their willingness to serve, so that the Advisory Task Force can convene at
the beginning of the new year.
Term: The Task Force shall have a term of six months, at which time it can recommend
to the Board that it be disbanded or that it be made a standing institution.
Key Milestones: The Task Force shall report its findings at or before the April Board
meeting.

Internal (staff) dialogue on culture, practices, priorities and customer experience.

Internal (staff) dialogue and engagement.


Goals: To establish an open dialogue with staff regarding the priorities and values of the
Library, in order to ensure alignment with and open dialogue regarding the customer
and staff experience. We value our staff’s insights and experiences, and seek their feed-
back in order to respect staff’s front-line role in creating that experience.
Timeframe: There are bi-weekly management meetings to address the business of the
library. At this month’s District all-staff meeting we addressed staff priorities with
respect to workplace conditions. By the end of year, we will develop a set of values to
guide workplace culture and expectations.
Status: We are incorporating this discussion in our staff meetings. We have also estab-
lished an independent and confidential process whereby staff can communicate with
our outside HR consultant; to date no issues have presented through this channel.
Outcomes: Following HR Source’s employee dialogues, the library environment was
found to be not atypical for an institution of its size and nature. Although every orga-
nization can improve its employee culture, nothing immoral, illegal or unethical was
found, and we did not hear any reports of a toxic work environment. Like most orga-
nizations, employee concerns are focused on scheduling, compensation and rewards.
November 2019 Monthly Update on
Community Engagement and Reponsiveness

Key Milestones: Develop a statement of staff priorities with respect to workplace condi-
tions. Establish formal statement of workplace values and expectations.
Next Steps: The goals and values dialogue will be a recurring event at staff
meetings. The open line to our outside HR consultant remains open.

Update on HR and Personnel Issues.


Goals: To respect the commitment and initiative of our staff as the front line of our ser-
vice to our customers, with all appropriate openness and transparency.
Timeframe: We have compiled data from the past six years.
Status: These figures show that by far the biggest reason why people leave the library is
for a better job: According to the data in our payroll service files, employees left for a
variety of reasons, most of which were for positive life changes: better job, retirement,
or moving out of state accounts for 63% of departures.
Context: Our staff is largely part-time. We are located in a community with high cost
of living, and in a time of low unemployment: it is a seller’s market for labor. We are
proud and happy when our pages and library assistants move up in their careers: many
of them are in school in order to enter more lucrative careers, and many of them lever-
age the skills and experience they get with us to move up their own career ladder.
A number of libraries in northeastern Illinois recently received FOIA requests regard-
ing their turnover rates. While their reporting methods varied, the following table
shows their size (average headcount), annual turnover (average departures divided by
average headcount over 2014–18) and the Paylocity benchmark.
Aggregate Paylocity
Headcount Annual Turnover Benchmark
Wilmette 93 7% 38%
Glenview 118 18% 38%
Palatine 101 23% 38%
Fox River 58 29% 38%
Cary 41 7% 38%
Libertyville 135 8% 38%
Skokie 167 29% 38%
Glencoe 36 5% 38%
Aggregate averages 107 18% 38%

Winnetka-Northfield 53 25% 38%

While this is a small sample size, it shows a range of turnover rates, in which three of
these libraries have lower rates, and three have similar or higher rates.

TAKEAWAYS.
We are pleased with the results of our ongoing community engagement. We continue to con-
firm high levels of satisfaction with the library, its programming, its levels of service, and most
of all with the current Winnetka-Northfield district.

We continue to hear validation of the feedback we received in our caucus survey: the library
is a valued institution, with high customer satisfaction. We are continuing this process of en-
gaging with the larger Northfield and Winnetka communities.
STRATEGIC PLAN: 2020 – 2022
