Summer Reading Clubs
Children’s
Teens and Tweens
Adults
Summer Reading Clubs for Children, Teens/Tweens and Adults begin at the Library on
June 2, though most schools will not start summer breaks until the end of that week.
The Children’s and Teen/Tween clubs has a science theme that fits into the emphasis
being placed on STEM education in schools. Many of the programs and activities planned
for the summer have a science or technology component.
One such program will be on Saturday, July 19 when the library will host a field trip to the
Lake Waco Wetlands for Teens. Wetlands manager Nora Schell will lead the group in
gathering specimens and students will then view plankton or insects under microscopes,
do water testing and enjoy a Water Olympics.
Summer Showcase programs for Children will feature guest performers at each library
location.
Tuesday, East Waco at 9:30 and 10:30
Wednesday, West Waco at 10:30 and 1:30
Thursday, Central at 10:30 and 1:30
Friday, South Waco at 10:30 and 1:30
Family Night programming will allow children whose parents work to attend summer
showcase type programming in the evening. On Tuesdays June 17, 24 and July Family
Night programming will be at the Central Library at 7pm and on Thursdays, July 10, 17, 24
and 31 at the West Waco Library from7-8pm
At the Library Commission meeting I will have a variety of promotional materials and
calendars listing all of the summer programs and events for children and teens/tweens.
While readers can sign-up starting on June 2, summer will get in high-gear on Saturday,
June 7 with a Summer Reading Kick-Off Party at the Central Library from 1-4pm. Tables

Director’s Report
April / May 2014
will be set up to sign-up families for the summer reading clubs. Zooniversity, a traveling
wildlife education company that introduces children and adults to the fascinating world of
animals, will have a performance at 1:30. Fun Science Experiments will be set up at
stations in the courtyard. Snowcones, face painting and building a 5 foot paper
rollercoaster are just a few of the fun things to do that day.
Online Events and Program Calendar
The Library has added an online calendar to its website – just in time for all of our summer
activities. Provided by subscription by a third-party service based in Plymouth, Mass, the
calendar allows for listing of library programs and if needed has the ability for patrons to
reserve a place for programs that have limited enrollment. A link to the calendar is
located in the upper right corner of the Library’s internet homepage.

Texas Library Association Conference
A number of Library staff attended the Texas Library Association Conference in San
Antonio in late April.
Edna Glass and Linda Howell from Technical Services attended a variety of sessions on
Cataloging with RDA, Acquisition and Vendor relations, protecting the collection using
various surveillance methods, Disaster Preparedness and Outreach and Making Flyers for
positive results.
Bob Kelley of the South Waco Library attended programs about health resources on the
Internet, celebrations of Dia de los Niño’s / Dia de los Libros and the updated features of
the Learning Express Library 3.0 database.
Barbara Frank from Reference and Children’s Services Manager Linda Bogusch attended
several sessions dealing with the Makerspace movement including a tour of Geekdom in
downtown San Antonio, a community think tank and technology learning center, and a
pre-conference on “Make a Makerspace” taught by Todd Humble from the North Richland
Hills Library. Humble’s library has just received a grant for $45,000 to create a
Makerspace in their library.
Allison Scheu, Interlibrary Loan Librarian, attended meetings with the TexNet Interlibrary
Loan state representatives for updates on the new Texas Group Catalog and its Navigator
product. In February, the Library launched this new system to request Interlibrary Loans.
This year the Conference featured many popular Young Adult Authors. Allison had the
idea to ask for signatures from these popular authors and then offer these signed copies
as prizes for this summer’s Teen Reading Challenge. Allison scheduled her time to meet
many of these authors and bring home signed copies of their latest books for the teens!
Reference Librarian, Gillian Wiseman, turned in her cape at the end of the conference as
her term on the Maverick Committee came to an end. The Texas Maverick Graphic
Novels Reading List (TMGNRL) is a recommended reading list developed by public and
school librarians from the Young Adult Round Table (YART). The purpose of the list is to
encourage students in grades 6-12 to explore a variety of current books. Gillian recently
applied to Library Journal to be a Science Fiction & Fantasy book reviewer and was
accepted.
The Genealogy Center’s annual Genealogy Lock-in was the topic of a program presented
by Bill Buckner “Genealogy After Dark: Digging up the Dead” with Sara Hayes of the
Texas State Library discussed their Genealogy Lock-in programs. The program was well
attended by over 73 participants. Bill shared his outreach goal to connect via technology
libraries/societies with genealogy collections across the State of Texas on the third Friday
in October as part of Family History Month. Last year we were able to link-up with eight
libraries/societies across Texas. The 2014 Genealogy Lock-in will be held October 17.
Central Adult & Teen Services
Schools are winding down their school year and the library is getting ready to pick up with
reading and education for the summer (in a fun way). Connally ISD Reading Literacy
Coaches and Reading Intervention teachers from all grade levels have partnered with the
library with their Passport to Summer Reading program. Middle School students were
Page 3 of 9
Director’s Report
April / May 2014
bused to the library to learn about the Summer Reading Club and programs and activities.
An Open House for parents and students at the Connally Junior High featured the WacoMcLennan County Library’s Summer Programs.
The Maker Movement is a community that celebrates learning, and freely shares ideas. A
community that forms in many areas (computer groups, electronics groups, robotics
groups, craft groups, sewing groups, etc.) – and needs something to bring them all
together. These groups need physical places to meet, share ideas, learn, and work
together. A community makerspace has sprung up across the street from the Central
Library. Makers Edge will open in August with membership fees for participants and the
organizers have already been in contact with staff at the Central Library.
Amber Jekot with the Texas Hunger Initiative Waco office invited the library to partner with
Texas Health and Human Services Commission to be part of a program where community
based-organizations assist people learn how they can apply for benefits on
www.YourTexasBenefits.com site. This new streamlined site allows people to apply for
food, cash and medical assistance and manage their cases. Cynthia Rosser has had
experience working with patrons on many government sites and is completing the training
to use this new portal that includes state and federal assistance programs.
Cindy just finished a webinar from the Texas State Library, “Beyond an Apple a Day:
Providing Consumer Health Information at Your Library.” Health and wellness is a
component of the City of Waco’s Prosper Waco Initiative. People seek out the library for
many reasons related to health, wellness and safety. In addition to reference and other
types of educational materials, libraries provide a range of programs and services – often
in partnership with other community organizations to help people manage medical issues,
and advance healthy lifestyles, including the preventive activities that ensure people’s and
community well-being.
Central Youth Services
Only a couple of weeks left until summer starts and staff is busy with behind-the-scenes
preparations. Most of the start-up supplies have been sent out the branch libraries and a
webpage with summer activities is nearly complete. Spring Storytimes ended on May 23.
In addition to the generous funding of over $13,000 from the Friends for the Summer
Showcase, STEM and fitness programs and summer reading club t-shirts, some local
merchants are providing coupon for the reading club, including McDonalds, Auntie Anne’s
Pretzels, Whataburger, Wendy’s, Rosa’s Café, and Chick-Fil-A. Most of these sponsors
are providing a only portion of the number of coupons they have previously given.
Interested staff ordered the Fizz, Boom, READ summer reading club t-shirts that will be
offered as an award to those who complete the children’s reading club. It is lime green
with a robot holding a beaker and a book.
Outreach community activities for the staff included National Day of Puppetry at Baylor,
Connally ISDs Family Literacy Night and the Community Booth at the Waco Downtown
Farmers Market on May 24 to promote our summer programs.

East Waco Library
Staff is getting ready for the Summer Reading Clubs for Children and Teens/Tweens and
the different activity patterns that occur during the summer. Interviews for the vacant fulltime Library Technician position from Nancy Reedy’s retirement in April will be next week
with hopefully a new staff member starting in mid-June. Part-time Library Technician
Sylvia Hernandez will be leaving at the end of the summer. She has received a full
scholarship to attend the University of Pittsburgh where she will study for a Master’s
Degree in Information Science.
The East Waco Library will host one of the Waco ISD’s Meals on the Bus buses for the
summer feeding program at lunchtime Monday to Friday. The bus will be at East from 1
to 1:30pm for area children to come have a hot lunch.
South Waco Library
Whereas South’s total circulation each month between June 2013and February 2014 had
been down at least 25 percent when compared with that of 12 months earlier, total
circulation was down just 14.1% in March, 2014, compared with March, 2013, and 14.49%
in April, 2014, compared with a year earlier. Starting with March, 2014, the comparison is
now being made to a month for South Waco Library in which Central Library was already
in full operation after its reopening. So the difference in circulation comparisons is not as
great as in the previous 10 months.
Positive circulation totals for March, 2014 in comparison with March, 2013 were in adult
music (up 186.84%), interlibrary loan (up 180%), and young adult books (up 21.35%).
Positive circulation totals for April, 2014, compared with April, 2013 were in young adult
audiobooks (up 125%) and adult audiobooks (up 15.23%).
DeLayne Sorrow moved to the South Waco Library from West Waco.
West Waco Library
West is also preparing for summer programs. West typically has the largest enrollment of
all library locations in the Children’s portion of the Summer Reading Club. Summer
Showcase programming will be on Wednesday’s at 10:30am and 1:30pm, as well as a
Family Night Program on Thursdays in July. The Minecraft program for Teens will be held
at West on Saturday, June 21.
Part-time Library Technician Tabitha Rosenbaum left her position at the Library on June
16. She graduated from Baylor the next day, has a full-time job and will also be planning
for her wedding which will be a year from now when her fiancé will graduate from Truett
Seminary.
Genealogy Center
Providing educational opportunities for the public is a priority for the Genealogy Center as
well as promoting the collection and services we offer family history enthusiast. Bill
Buckner presented “1890 Census Substitutes: Bridging the Gap” as the monthly program
of the East Bell County Genealogical Society in Temple in May. 25 members enjoyed a
discussion of what resources can be used as census substitutes or alternative sources to
help bridge the gap of the missing 1890 Census which was consumed in a fire in 1921.

Director’s Report
April / May 2014
On April 24, eleven members the Bosque County Genealogical Society traveled to Waco
for a tutorial on the Fold3 database which is offered by the Library. Fold3 is owned by
Ancestry.com and is considered the premier resource for military personnel records
research. Bill Buckner gave an overview of the product, how to best search the product
and how use key features of the database. After the program, CTGS volunteers and
Genealogy Center staff helped participants one-on-one with the database. Interestingly
enough our Fold3 April stats average doubled this past month.
Bill Buckner took his skill at teaching beginning genealogists and presented “Core 101 :
Fundamentals for Beginning Genealogy Research” to a sold out crowd of 100 participants
at the first annual Genealogypalooza workshop sponsored by the Texas General Land
Office and Texas State Genealogical Society on May 17 in Austin, Texas.
The second quarter offering of the Genealogy Beginners class on May 10 attracted 11
participants. However it was one of the better classes we have presented in part due to
the small size. The next class will be August 9 at 10:30 a.m.
As part of Preservation Week 2014, the Genealogy Center partnered with Baylor
University Libraries for the fifth year and agreed to host an oral history project as the
shared project to promote awareness of preserving personal and cultural heritage. The
Baylor University Institute for Oral History (BUIOH) assisted both libraries by providing
training, advice, equipment, transcription service and to digitally host the interviews
recorded during the week.
Baylor University Libraries collected interviews to document the story of the university’s
Moody and Jones Libraries in anticipation of upcoming anniversaries for both buildings.
For WMCL our project “I Remember When… McLennan County Before 1960” recorded
personal memories of citizens from Waco and the surrounding area who lived in
McLennan County at some point during years of 1935-1960. In all 29 interviews with 30
individuals we conducted during the week.
