MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR

1

On May 4, 2016, Penguin Bookshop hosted bestselling novelist David Baldacci who spoke about his novels, his writing career, his family and Amos Decker, his latest character. Mr. Baldacci was funny, smart, and an engaging public speaker.

At the end of the presentation, as is normal, the author will generally sign a book for you and, perhaps, you can have a picture snapped with the author, too. I dutifully waited in line with a copy of The Memory Man and cell phone in hand. Susan Hans O’Connor, Penguin Bookshop owner, introduced me to Mr. Baldacci as the Sewickley Public Library Director.

He looked up from signing my book, smiled. When it was my turn to get my picture snapped with Mr. Baldacci, he stood next to me and said, “I love libraries.”

Wow. I wish I could have asked him, “why do you love libraries?” Would it be the same reason you and I love Sewickley Public Library? Or any library? What is it about libraries that still attracts people in the age of computers? We know libraries are places where people gather to explore, interact and imagine. Libraries are people-places that know no gender, generational or socioeconomic divides and all manner of people are welcome. The library brings us together in uncertain times as we search for answers to life’s mysteries, or, perhaps, we just want to get lost in a good mystery.

The Sewickley Public Library staff and volunteers work hard to bring you a welcoming and vital library. We strive to meet the needs and expectations of our communities. We want to thank all of you for your kind words, donations, and tokens of appreciation.

Please drop us an email anytime with your thoughts about why you love SPL and what we can do better.

Adopted by the Board of Directors, July 12, 2004

HIGHLIGHTS

National Recognition The American Library Association published the Sewickley Public Library program model for our Wise Walk. http://programminglibrarian.org. Wise Walk is a 10 week walking program for the active 50+ adult. The library offers the program twice a year, once in the Spring and once in the Fall.

Staff Training The library staff and volunteers participated in our first staff in-service day. Quaker Valley School District’s Officer Aaron Vanatta presented ALICE safety training. ALICE is an acronym for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate. The training provides preparation and a plan for individuals and organizations on how to more proactively handle the threat of an aggressive intruder.

Outreach Programming SPL’s Children’s Department began hosting free and open Family Story Times at the Ohio Township Nature Center on Monday mornings for a small fee to Ohio Township. The Story Times have been so well received that we will continue to provide the Family Story Times in 2017.

Book Discussions The library regularly offers five free adult book discussion groups: Mystery Book Group; Brown Bag Book Group; Get Lit – A Social Cure for Your Average Book Club; 4th Tuesday Book Group and our newest one, Foodie & the Feast: A Cookbook Club.

Sto-Rox Services After seven years of providing financial and management services to the Sto-Rox Library our contract has ended and we’re happy to report that Sto-Rox Library is now working with the Allegheny County Library Association. As an SPL Board Director noted, under SPL guidance the Sto-Rox Library has money in the bank to assist them with a move to a newer building and has two more part-time paid staff members (for a total of four) than they had in 2010.

Community Collaboration We are happy to report that the library continues to collaborate with Sewickley organizations. This year the library formed a new partnership with the Sweetwater Center for the Arts; a creative writing class for adults guided by Beverlee Blair. The library has also displayed numerous 10th grade projects for Quaker Valley students.

Staffing Changes Five special employees have decided to make the library a place to visit and enjoy rather than their place of employment. They all provided great customer service and unique and creative ways to make Sewickley Public Library stand out from all other libraries: • • • • •

Rita Crawford, Head of the Children’s Department, 31 years Randi Morgan, Curator and Display Case Coordinator, 15 years Anne Stuever, Library Clerk, 27 years (plus volunteering for many years before being hired!)

Sarah Davies, Office Manager, 8 years Sue Behme, Accountant, 8 years

“Perhaps no place in any community is so totally democratic as the town library. The only entrance requirement is interest.”

MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD

Dear Library Lover, As you read this Annual Report, the facts and statistics actually tell a great love story between the Sewickley Public Library and the Quaker Valley community.

Like all love stories, there must be some challenges. Notably, in September Rita Crawford, the face of the Children’s Library for so many years, retired. But Jen Farmerie, the new head of the Children’s Library, has embraced challenge to build on the legacy that Rita left behind. I am excited to see how our Children’s Library continues to flourish under Jen’s guidance.

Downloads from the Library’s website of e-books and audio books have tripled since 2013. But despite the convenience of downloading, books and periodicals are what our patrons want most from the Library. Over 190,000 books and periodicals were borrowed from the Library last year, which represents 6 books borrowed for each person in the Quaker Valley area. That is a savings of over $100 if you had to buy those 6 books. But it really means that our library staff did another fantastic job to make sure that our collection contains the books and periodicals that our patrons want.

It is amazing that our staff has time to curate our books and periodicals since they helped about 14,319 patrons with their reference questions. That is over 40 questions a day asked and answered. Who says that all of the answers can be found on the internet! The staff also conducted over 1,800 programs last year attended by close to 34,000 patrons. The staff was very busy last year.

But as you dig deeper into this Annual Report, you will realize that the Library benefits from a core of dedicated volunteers. Last year, these passionate library lovers contributed over 2,100 hours at the Library. Their willingness to share their valuable time and talents with the Library are essential to the Library’s ability to meet the needs of our patrons. Those smiling faces re-shelving books and other materials or helping you to check out at the Circulation Desk is often a volunteer sharing their love of the Library with you.

I would be remiss if I did not also mention the efforts of one special group of volunteers, the Friends of the Sewickley Public Library.

The Friends’ quarterly used book sales not only generate a lot of money for the Library but also make sure that used books find a new home. Savoring Sewickley is another great Friends event that showcases our beautiful library building as well as the many dining establishments in our area. Their newest fundraising event, Springbound, highlights the close connection between art and the Library.

Finally, the love for the Library is also expressed in the financial investment in the Library from the Quaker Valley School District, the Quaker Valley Community Fund and from our many other donors. The hard work of your neighbors who serve with me on the Board of Directors of the Library helps ensure that this investment is appropriately used to operate the Library as the center for life-long learning in Quaker Valley. The Library Board embraces the obligation to be a prudent steward of this investment in our community.

Part of this obligation is the ongoing challenge to plan for the future of our library in order that it continues to meet the evolving needs of our community. We welcome your ideas on how the Library can better serve the community now and into the future. You can leave a message for us through the Library.

Enjoy the Annual Report and the great love story that it tells between the Library and our community.

ADULT DEPARTMENT Featured Programs Sewickley History The Sewickley area is rich with stories and vibrant history, but what many residents do not know is that the Sewickley Public Library is home to a diverse local history collection containing documents, letters, and photographs related to the Sewickley Valley.

For the past year, sta and volunteers at the library have been scanning materials from this collection to make them available online. The goal of this project is to make the collection, and the information within it, more accessible to the community.

Thus far, the library has made over 600 digital images available through an online database.

Intergenerational Programming In 2016 the Children's, Teen, and Adult Departments started focusing on inter -generational niche programming.

These programs have a very speciďŹ c theme based on a new or trendy interest among our patrons. These programs bring together patrons of all ages and backgrounds to celebrate a topic they are passionate about.

In 2016 the departments held various programs for all ages including but not limited to: Spa Day with Mom, Return to Hogwarts; A Harry Potter Party, Hamilton! An Epic Sing-a-long, and A Crazy Cat Lady Christmas.

CHILDREN’S DEPARTMENT

Featured Programs

Ohio Township Nature Center In January 2016 the Ohio Township Nature Center and the SPL Children’s Department began a weekly Family Storytime on Monday mornings. Over the past year, this storytime has become very popular among families with multiple children of varying ages. The weekly storytime themes can range from birds & bugs to camping & picnics, and everything in between. This is a terrific opportunity for families to develop early literacy skills through stories, songs, play and crafts.

Baby Sensory Time The children’s department introduced a new program for babies & toddlers. This program allowed participants to play and explore at several stations that encouraged exploration of their worlds through sight, touch & sound. This popular program was attended by over 80 children and adults during it’s first session!

Other popular programs in 2016: • • • •

Drive –In Movie Summer Reading Holiday Magic Show 12 Before 12 – Noon Year’s Eve

YOUNG ADULT DEPARTMENT Featured Programs Teen Battle of the Books 2016 2016 marked the first year of being hosted at Quaker Valley Middle School, which was especially fortunate as the expanded size of the venue accommodated the growing number of teams in each level of BOB: 6th, 7th & 8th and High School. Over 90 teams competed among three levels of competition.

Make a Blind Date with a Book 2016 Since 2013, the Make a Blind Date with a Book program has been the highlight of the Teen Department winter. Each February, surveys are circulated to students in the area in grades 6-12.

Participants receive a free book matched to their reading level and preferences. In 2016, Emily gave away over 500 books through the Make a Blind Date with a Book program, including a book to nearly every student at Ambridge Junior High.

Test Prep at SPL The Teen Department of Sewickley Public Library is proud to partner with local test prep company, 3RPrep, to provide affordable, quality test prep throughout the school year, including free practice SAT & ACT tests, free testing and college prep seminars, and low-cost week-long test prep, including the annual Christmas Crash Course and, in 2016, two week-long summer prep courses covering the SAT and ACT. Offering the topnotch quality prep provided by 3RPrep owner, Phil McCaffrey and his tutors is one of the many ways the Teen Department tries to reach students at every stage of their education.

Technology Assistance Library staff refocused their efforts on adult technology assistance and training in 2016.

More resources were focused on direct, 1-on1 tech cafe sessions. We find these 1-on-1 sessions more affective than large group training.

While continuing to offer small group computer classes, we also started two less formal groups for older adults. The Senior Computer Club, led by volunteer Norm Mast and the Senior iPad/iPhone Club provide a forum for collaborative experience and learning.

Printing Upgrades Upgrades to equipment and software made printing and scanning for patrons more accessible. The library replaced two public user multifunction printers, allowing patrons to print on copy in black and white or color.

The machines also provide digital scanning, free of charge.

In late 2016, the library added a Wireless printing service. The wireless printing allows users to print from any type of device directly to our machines. Printing can be done any time of day from home or in the library.

Other Highlights: • • • •

New POS cash register system with online reporting.

Added the ability for patrons to reserve meeting room space online.

Provided full online access to the New York Times for users.

Upgraded staff printers and capability to create more professional newsletters, brochures, and more.

Featured Accomplishments Little Free Libraries In the spirit of making books accessible to everyone and increasing reading for children, teens and adults, the Friends of the Library have placed two Little Free Libraries in two of our Quaker Valley communities. The Little Free Libraries provide an opportunity for anyone to pick up or drop off a free book at any time.

2016 Fundraiser Stats

and retired Osborne Elementary School Teacher, provided the inspiration for the installation of two Little Free Libraries.

The FOSPL Little Free Libraries are located at the Leet Township Municipal Building and the YMCA in Sewickley. Leet Township residents and college students Chris Jabro and Max Magera created and constructed the Free Little Libraries.

Storage!

The Friends of the Library actively fundraise for the library all year long. Yearly fundraisers include three event-style book sales and a small, usually theme based, ongoing daily book sale in the library’s circulation area. It’s pleasing to say that we have generous donors of books and DVDs in our communities, but the library was running out of storage space!

The Friends purchased a shed where not only books for used book sales are stored, but the Friends are able to store decorations and glassware for other major fundraisers such as Savoring Sewickley and Spring Bound.
