FOUNDATION NEWS Library Spotlight: Meadowridge Kitchen a Valuable Asset On a recent blustery winter afternoon, a group of kids, teens and adults gathered in the new Meadowridge Library kitchen to warm up with a cup of hot chocolate. “It was just fantastic,” said Library Supervisor Alice Oakey. “The kids, especially, said thank you, and when they did, they made sure we had eye contact with them. They wanted to make sure we knew they were thankful. “We just love the ability to do spontaneous things like that (with the kitchen).” The commercial kitchen, part of a shared space between the library and the neighboring Meadowood Neighborhood Center, is an unusual asset for a library, Oakey said: Madison Public Library’s Meadowridge is one of just a couple libraries in the nation equipped with one. It’s proving to be extremely useful for a variety of events that build community, serve library customers’ needs, and educate all ages — especially youth — on how to prepare nutritious snacks and meals. “We’ve had programs where different chefs come in where they teach how to make tortillas, sauces, cupcakes — all sorts of things,” Oakey said. “We’re looking to add more of these programs.” In late January, the library hosted its first potluck-style community supper using $7,500 in Pop! Challenge grant funds raised by Madison Public Library Foundation. About 60 people attended, and the foundation funds made it possible for the library to provide a main dish, dessert, salad and rolls. The library plans to host the suppers from 5:30–7:30 p.m. the last Tuesday of each month through the end of August, with the hopes of moving the event outdoors to Meadowood Park in the final summer months. There is a great demand for the After-School Snack Program that is under way, thanks to assistance from the neighborhood center, Madison Metropolitan School District and MSCR. “We just have so many kids in the neighborhood who need an evening meal,” Oakey said. “We want to offer it even more days each week.” The library is the in the process of hiring Albert Watson, a culinary expert who specializes in working with teens, to spend two Meadowridge Library is a new site for the West Madison Senior Coalition’s lunchtime meals on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

afternoons a week teaching middle school kids to plan, cook and serve a meal. “As they’re eating, they’ll discuss issues the kids are having,” Oakey said. This effort will be funded with a $7,200 SEED grant from the City of Madison and a donation from the Willy Street Co-op, secured by the foundation. To better serve seniors, the West Madison Senior
The kitchen is proving to be extremely useful for events that build community, serve library customers’ needs, and educate all ages — especially youth — on how to prepare nutritious snacks and meals. Coalition began hosting lunchtime meals in the kitchen and shared space in late November. The meals, which meet U.S.D.A. nutrition guidelines, are available each Tuesday and Thursday from 11:30 a.m.–1 p.m., and free transportation to and from the library is offered. The coalition encourages donations to offset costs, but no one is turned away. While the kitchen sees a lot of action, the shared space as a whole is hosting many non-food-related events too, Oakey said. On Wednesday mornings, an exercise ball class meets there. Toddler and preschool story times are held weekly. On Fridays, a play literacy program draws families to the shared space, with at least a halfdozen different languages spoken by those in attendance. The space is also home to teen programs like the Minecraft Club, and a women and girls neighborhood empowerment group. “We’re so happy when grassroots things pop up because we can do all this planning and strategizing, but none of it has the power or force of what comes straight from the community,” Oakey said. The Meadowridge Library Endowment Fund accepts donations year-round to support programs, services and collections.

We Want to Know …
Q:
Why did Madison Public Library Foundation recently develop a values statement?
We asked Madison Public Library patrons at Alicia Ashman and Central libraries: What library resource do you use the most? “The children’s stuff is the most necessary thing in our lives right now. We live in Mazomanie and come here on Wednesday nights when my older daughter is at activities nearby. (My younger daughter) likes the puzzles.” —Emily, interviewed at Alicia Ashman Library
A:
Since the foundation was established in 1993, its mission has been to support the library’s facilities, services and programs, with Tom DeChant a vision of providing leadership and resources to help develop and sustain a world-class library system. The foundation’s most recent strategic plan encouraged us to explictly identify core values for our organization to further define this mission and vision.
“I come here after work to do citizenship test practice. I study English as a Second Language. When I’m bored, I play chess and watch movies. The space is comfortable. I sometimes go to Middleton Public Library too — they’re both on the way home.”
Why does a values statement matter? Simply put, the values of a nonprofit organization represent what it stands for, and guide decision-making for current and future leaders. They’re a framework to which we can consistently apply practically everything, such as questions related to growth, strategy or organizational culture. The values are ultimately a reflection of everything we do, especially how we interact and communicate with our supporters. The board recently approved the following values: 1. Support — enabling Madison Public Library to achieve its vision to learn, share and create 2. Leadership — exemplifying foundation and community leadership 3. Integrity – building trust through transparency and wise use of organizational resources 4. Inclusiveness – providing opportunities for all residents to be library patrons, volunteers and donors 5. Advocacy – amplifying the voice of the library and its patrons With every donation made to the foundation and with every grant issued from the foundation to the library, these values ensure that our organization is doing the best it possibly can to reach all Madisonians; to stand up for the library and its customers; to be transparent financially; and to further the library’s vision. Thank you to our Marketing Committee volunteers for developing these important principles that make our intentions clear to those working on behalf of the foundation, as well as to all who choose to support us — whether today or in years to come.
—Tsering, interviewed at Alicia Ashman Library “I don’t have a cable or internet hookup at my home, so I use the library most for Internet access and DVD rentals. I would rather get them here for free than paying for a streaming service! — Ron, interviewed at Central Library “We just moved here, and we love coming here for story time as well as for all the books available for kids. Children’s books are expensive to buy, especially with the number of books she likes to look at! — Zhe & daughter Kate, interviewed at Central Library “I probably use all the kids’ resources the most, for my son’s sake. He enjoys coming here a lot. We will read books together and come for all the programs.” — Shawn, interviewed at Central Library

LIBRARY NEWS From the Director’s Desk Recently, our Alicia Ashman Library was able to help out the nearby Middleton Public Library during an unexpected closure due to building repairs. Within days, Middleton staff had set up shop in a section of the Alicia Ashman Library, staff at both libraries and the South Central Library System worked together to re-route library holds, and Middleton moved library programs to its city hall. This is just one example of the many ways local libraries cooperate and work together to best serve our communities. Shared materials delivery, a shared catalog and seamless borrowing of materials throughout the library system serve us all well. Greg Mickells, Director of Madison Public Library
When I give tours to community groups, they are always amazed at the scope and importance of our daily operations. When a library user searches for a new book, places a hold, and receives a notice several days later that it is available at their local library, it’s a quick and easy process. But for that to happen, library staff purchase, receive, unpack, catalog, label, shelve, retrieve, deliver, unpack and check in each of the 1.2 million holds requested by library customers each year. To meet that demand, at Madison Public Library alone we added nearly 80,000 items to our collection last year. Overall, we checked out over 4 million items in 2015. It is absolutely amazing when you think of the numbers and what it takes from everyone in the organization to make this core service a reality for the community. Each staff member contributes to making the customer’s use of our resources a fantastic experience. Be sure to thank your local library staff the next time you pick up your hold — that item has been touched by many different people on its journey to you.

Past, Present Future — Dreamer and the Dreamed by Ryan B.
The exhibit consists of four components: writing, visual art, musical recordings and dramatic readings. An online version of the exhibit will host expanded content and increase accessibility for those who cannot visit in person. Local filmmaker Marc Kornblatt of Refuge Films has produced a web series featuring the artists, along with a documentary about the exhibit. An opening reception featuring a screening of the documentary will be held Thursday, March 3, at 6 p.m. in The Bubbler. Regional artists and activists will present workshops in The Bubbler throughout the month. The exhibit will travel to other local libraries for the remainder of spring. Artists in Absentia is an initiative of the Oakhill Prison Humanities Project, a UW-Madison organization that offers evening classes for inmates at Oakhill Correctional Institution, a men’s minimumsecurity facility. The project allows participants to engage with a variety of texts, develop art and communication skills, and share a collaborative space for the exchange of ideas. Volunteers have led courses in drama/performance, creative writing, art, literature and history. Learn more at artistsinabsentia.com.

Short Story: Meet Library Assistant Tina Marie Maes Tell us a little about yourself. I grew up on a dairy farm outside of Glenwood City, Wis. (population 1,200), four hours northwest of Madison. I was valedictorian of the Class of 1999 Hilltoppers and moved here to attend UWMadison for engineering. My major quickly switched to English with an emphasis in creative writing. After a few years of retail work and volunteering with UW Press, I attended UW’s School of Library and Information Studies and graduated in 2010.

What kinds of hobbies and interests do you have outside of work? I make jewelry & have my own Etsy store (PegasusRoseBeads). I also enjoy writing. I am working on an adult science fiction book. Maes
What is your role at Madison Public Library, and how long you have you worked there? I am a cataloguing Library Assistant in the Technical Services Department, where each week I copy catalog titles contributed by our 46 South Central Library System libraries and revise them into complete records for use in LINKcat. I have worked at the library since 2007 when I started as a part-time Lower Stacks Page. What is one of your favorite parts of your job?

What do you like to read? Lately, my favorite genre has been fan fiction, especially MTV’s “Teen Wolf.” I love the worldbuilding talents of Mercedes Lackey, J.K. Rowling and J.R.R. Tolkien. My favorite Lackey books would probably be “The Heralds of Valdemar” series. What is one thing you couldn’t live without? My sarcastic answer: oxygen. My real one: Caramel Vanilla Lattes from Espresso Royale, and music. I like pop, rock, country, metal, alternative, classic rock —pretty much anything interesting with a beat—except ABBA and opera.
