System Plan Central Kansas Library System Proposed for 2017

Introduction

History of Regional Systems of Cooperating Libraries in Kansas

The State Library of Kansas created traveling libraries, providing minimal service to all Kansas. Traveling library service brought boxes of books to rural areas. They established an environment for the creation of many small libraries. Traveling libraries were abolished in 1963, making way for the development of the Regional Systems of Cooperating Libraries, which carried on the tradition with their rotating books services.

Most of the state is made up of small towns and prairies. More than 80 percent of the public libraries in Kansas serve towns with fewer than 5,000 citizens—making Kansas ideal for the development of library systems. Library cooperation through systems offers relief from potential isolation without sacrificing local independence. However, it did not take long for the leaders in these small libraries to realize that they could not survive without outside help.

With the encouragement of funding from LSCA (Library Services and Construction Act) in 1965, the Kansas legislature established the seven Regional Systems of Cooperating Libraries. The Systems were eligible for planning grants under Title I of the Library Services and Construction Act. The law permitted the Systems to levy a tax on property within the boundaries of the system that is not taxed for the support of a public library. Originally, systems served only public libraries, but in 1968 the law was amended to allow school and academic libraries to participate in Regional Systems of Cooperating Libraries. No additional funding was allocated or authorized to pay for services to school and academic libraries.

Because the needs of the libraries in each system are different, librarians and trustees in each region met to determine programs and budgets. Since then systems have broadened services for their member libraries. In 1970 and 1971 some systems began providing books to rural and homebound customers. Others began book processing for libraries, and rotating collections. In the 1990s all systems added technology consulting to their services.

For the past 36 years the boards and administration of each system have added new services, cancelled others, and changed the delivery modes to meet the changes in technology and user needs. The challenge for all systems is to keep services relevant to the customers, secure adequate funding, and foster creativity among staff members.

Structure, Funding, and Governance The Central Kansas Library System, along with the six other Regional Systems of Cooperating Libraries, is specifically named in Kansas Statutes. The counties within each system are also named in statute. The following counties are part of CKLS: Barton,

3

Cloud, Ellis, Ellsworth, Jewell, Lincoln, Mitchell, Osborne, Ottawa, Pawnee, Phillips, Republic, Rooks, Rush, Russell, Saline, and Smith.

Each System is a municipality that is larger than a county, but smaller than the state. As such they have the authority to levy property taxes for the support of the system. The system tax is levied on property that is not otherwise taxed for the support of a local public library.

The board of the Central Kansas Library System consists of 54 members appointed by the boards of local public libraries and 16 members appointed by the governor from the rural areas of the counties that levy the system tax. This board meets twice a year to conduct the business of the System, to approve the budget, any resolutions, the system plan, and elect members to the Executive Committee. The Executive committee meets monthly to conduct the general business of the System. The Executive Committee hires the System Administrator, who in turn carries out the day-to-day operation of the System.

The Mission of the Central Kansas Library System Leadership, Information, Vision

The first letters, LIV, are the Roman numeral for 54 – the number of public libraries in CKLS.

The Vision CKLS provides leadership, information and vision for our library communities to keep pace in an ever-changing world.

Goals of the Central Kansas Library System for 2013-2017

Goal 1 Provide digital content with training and marketing for librarians and library patrons

Goal 2 Help member libraries improve the physical space of the library

Goal 3 Encourage and support effective programming for each library community

Goal 4 Improve CKLS service

Program of Services of the Central Kansas Library System The services of the Central Kansas Library System fall into two groups—direct services to rural residents and disabled persons, and services to local public libraries and librarians.

DIRECT SERVICES

4

Talking Books for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. CKLS provides significant funding for a Talking Books Outreach Service Center. The Outreach Service Center operates under the Kansas Regional Talking Book Library located in Emporia which is a division of the State Library of Kansas. The CKLS Talking Books Outreach Consultant promotes Talking Books to those with a visual impairment or those who cannot handle printed materials because of a physical disability. The Outreach Service Center loans large print books to visually impaired individuals and to system libraries. The Center also loans activity resources to organizations for programming. The low vision center lends adaptive equipment to individuals with visual impairments to try out before purchasing.

Books-by-Mail. Anyone who lives in the rural area of a taxing county may borrow books through Books-by-Mail. CKLS pays the postage both ways. CKLS publishes a catalog once a year to make it easier for patrons to order materials.

Community Book Deposits. CKLS calls these book deposits Outlets. Rotating Books are placed in communities that are too small to support a legally established library. Outlets bring library services closer to rural residents and provide a service point for other CKLS services.

Phone-from-Home Service. Rural residents, or those living in towns without a library, call CKLS and request any book or other media they can identify. CKLS mails requested materials directly to the patron, and pays the postage both ways.

SERVICES TO LIBRARIES

General Consulting. Consultants travel to member libraries regularly to visit with the librarians and/or trustees to answer questions and help with local planning, weeding, library evaluations, and other help as requested.

Automation Consulting. When librarians need help with their computer they may call CKLS’s Automation Specialist. We answer the problem over the telephone and schedule to repair, update and maintain computers, computer networks, and computer software.

Pathfinder Interlibrary Loan (PILL) Through the consortia online catalog system Pathfinder Central, member libraries easily share their materials among 51 CKLS libraries, with over 675,000 items. For items not available on PILL, items can be requested through statewide Interlibrary Loan.

Courier The system will pay for all but $150 of the courier fee (3 day per week), $300 (for 5 day libraries) for system libraries who consistently lend and borrow materials on PILL or state wide interlibrary loan (KICnet).

Youth Services. CKLS maintains an extensive collection of programming materials to lend to system libraries. Children’s librarians rely on CKLS Services for Children and Youth for the resources they need for Summer Library Programs and Story Time programs. CKLS also maintains a collection of preview books librarians can review before purchasing books for their collections.

5

Continuing Education. Member and associate member librarians and trustees receive training and instruction from CKLS consultants during the year. Each year CKLS conducts training needs assessment to determine the topics for continuing education workshops.

The Central Kansas Library System gives each library $700 each year to purchase training for librarians, library staff and trustees. This money can be used for attending workshops presented by CKLS or library-related workshops, classes, online training presented by others. This money can also be used to pay staff to attend training when the library is closed or pay someone to run the library if the library is open and no one else is available to run the library. A more detailed description is given below in the incentive grant portion of this document. CKLS also provides ongoing continuing education grants. More information is at http://www.ckls.org/about/grants

Public Information. CKLS uses its newsletter, The POST, to inform librarians and trustees of current library issues. The newsletter is in electronic format only. CKLS does printing jobs, binding, and laminating for member libraries.

Interlibrary Loan. System interlibrary loan services facilitate the borrowing and lending of library materials from one Kansas library to another in response to a specific patron request. CKLS will also request materials from libraries in other states. Interlibrary Loan consultant will provide training and refresher consultation for librarians when required.

Rotating Collections. Librarians select from the Rotating Collection to supplement their local library collection. The driver visits each library six times a year. Materials from the Rotating Collection are transferred or checked out to the local library using Pathfinder Central, making it possible to locate items in the collection.

Technical Services. Technical Services includes the ordering, cataloging, and processing of library materials or electronic bibliographic records. CKLS tech services staff will use best practices deciding which books should not be put back on your shelves. They will not process materials that should be weeded. CKLS enters records onto the regional catalog, Pathfinder Central. Materials are almost ready to place on the shelf when the library receives them. Librarians may purchase selected book processing supplies through Technical Services. An additional service is free cleaning and repairing of CDs and DVDs, including Blu-ray.

System Grants. Public libraries located in CKLS taxing counties receive a system grant every year. Part of the grant is based on population. The remainder of the grant is based on the completion of certain incentives designed to improve library services in all libraries. School libraries are eligible for CE and competitive grants.

Basic Grant Standards for 2017 Grants

Major Service Center II 25,000 to 100,000 population e.g. Salina Major Service Center I 10,000 to 25,000 population e.g. Hays and Great Bend Service Center II 2,500 to 10,000 population e.g. Russell and Belleville Service Center I 1,000 to 2,500 population e.g. Ellis and Stockton Linking Library 500 to 1,000 population e.g. Wilson and Logan Gateway Library 500 or fewer population e.g. Luray and Jamestown

6

In 1980 CKLS established categories (revised 2013) for the library in each population grouping and attached a Basic Grant amount to each category. Towns with more population generally have a larger tax base, and a larger tax base can produce more income for the library. The more revenue the library has means the library can provide more and better library service. Populations have changed since 1980—the year CKLS changed the System Grant formula, but we have determined not to lower the Basic Grant for any library whose population has declined below the minimum population guideline for its current level of service category.

The Basic Grants by category are as follows: Major Service Center II $18,000 Major Service Center I $15,000 Service Center II $ 6,800 Service Center I $ 4,950 Linking Library $ 2,500 Gateway Library $ 1,800

Per Capita grants 2010 saw the initiation of per capita additions to the base grant. Population 15,000 + .25 per capita Population 2,500–15,000 .40 per capita Population 899 – 2,500 .50 per capita Population 400-898 .75 per capita Under 400 $300

Incentive Grant Standards CKLS has tried to relate library activities and programs to quality service. If any one of the following standards is omitted, services for that library will be diminished.

Annual Library Director Evaluation

The 2012 System Standards recommends, “the library board annually conducts a written evaluation of the library director’s performance.” The System Grant Questionnaire will ask whether or not the library board evaluated the library director during the previous year.

Potential effect if standard is met. $200

New Trustee Recruiting and Orientation Information

The 2012 System Standards recommends, “New library trustees participate in an orientation … to the library board.” Such an orientation (and recruiting new board members) would require a packet of information about the library. CKLS consultants can provide lists of documents that may be included in such a packet. The annual System Grant Questionnaire asks for the list of documents in the new trustee recruitment and orientation packet.

Potential effect if standard is met. $200

7

Collection Development and Management

Libraries need collections that are useful and attractive to the community. An attractive collection would have new looking titles covering three-quarters of shelves.

Librarians should carefully purchase materials people will use. When materials are donated to libraries, librarians should select only items still useful and attractive. Other items should be put in the library book sale, recycled or thrown away.

Through the year, remove from the collection items using the following characteristics using these criteria. • Ugly, worn-out, dirty, torn • Outdated, obsolete, false information • Outdated subjects, e.g., disco dancing in 2016 • Unused, no longer circulating • Superseded by newer editions

The system grant questionnaire will ask whether your collection covers only three-quarters of your shelves and what sections did you weed. The KOHA weeding report # 1244 will show weeded items.

Potential effect if standard is met. $200

Materials in the Kansas Library Catalog (KLC)

The purpose of the consortium catalog is to show all library materials circulating between CKLS libraries. In order for libraries to truly share resources, CKLS libraries must enter all added materials to the shared catalog. Any materials cataloged or processed by CKLS Technical Services will automatically fulfill this requirement. For difficult to find materials (not found in a Z39.50 search), CKLS can assist by providing MARC records to libraries. Potential effect if standard is met. $150

Active Participation in Statewide Interlibrary Loan

Participation in interlibrary loan (ILL) is available to all Kansas libraries. Lending among libraries of all types for the use of an individual is in the public interest and should be encouraged. Libraries on the consortia catalog (KOHA Pathfinder Central) or other online catalog with the Z39.50 feature have records that are visible to other libraries. Transparency and convenience has made ILL a fairly cost effective and beneficial service each library should participate in, both locally and statewide. The Best Practices for supplying materials is posted through the Kansas State Library website. . Potential effect if standard is met. $150

Special Projects Projects come up from time to time, that the librarian just does not have time to do during the normal paid workday. Identify 20 hours ($10 per hour) of special projects that don’t get done

8

because the librarian does not have enough time to do them. The following is a partial list of high impact projects that will help guide you to using this money.

Purchasing paint and wages to paint walls Renting equipment and purchasing wages for extensive cleaning of library Purchasing wages to reorganize the collection or the furniture Purchasing video gaming equipment or games for community gaming nights Purchasing supplies and wages to remodel the library Programming presenters and programming equipment Potential effect if standard is met. $300

Library Programs & Events Summer Library Program (SLP) The Summer Library Program is an organized program to encourage pleasure reading. The SLP may include activities, events, storytime, crafts and incentives for reading. Basic materials to run the program are provided by an LSTA grant through the State Library of Kansas. The SLP evaluation must be submitted on the date requested or the grant will be reduced. Potential effect if standard is met. $200

Other Programs Storytime Storytime is intended for foster a love a books and the library. Storytime programs may be conducted outside the library if they are open to the public. Two or more storytime sessions per week count as one program. A brief Storytime plan/calendar should be submitted to Youth Services. To meet the standard libraries must do the following regularly scheduled Storytime programs per year: Linking & Gateway Libraries – minimum 14 programs Services Center I & Service Center II Libraries – minimum 20 programs Major Service Center I & Major Service Center II Libraries – minimum 24 programs

Program Series In place of regular Storytime programs the library may conduct programs of special interest for families, youth, or adults. The events must include regularly scheduled programs that are held 10 times or more. Passive programs may be a part of the program series, but may not constitute more than 30% of programs in the series. These events must be open to the public and not be part of the Summer Library Program.

Examples of such programs might include a monthly book discussion, craft event or other program series (Family Fun at the Library, DIY @ Your Library, etc.)

To qualify for this grant, libraries interested in doing a program series must submit a brief outline of the plan to CKLS before assuming the series will meet the requirement for this incentive grant. Potential effect if standard for programming is met. $300

Librarian and Trustee Continuing Education The CE grant money is contingent on the following criteria. The librarian/trustee is paid for: 9

• the librarian's salary while attending the event • the librarian's travel to and parking at the event • the librarian's registration and other fees for attending the event • the librarian's meals during the event • the trustee's travel to and parking at the event • the trustee's meals during the event • the continuing education money is only used for continuing education and not for circulating materials

The Central Kansas Library System gives each library $700 each year to assist paying the wages and expenditures for attending CKLS or library-related workshops, classes, or online training by others. This money can also pay non-board members to run the library when the library is open during an event and when no one else is available to run the library. Three hundred dollars for each library has been added to the Continuing Education Competitive Grant at http://www.ckls.org/about/grants for use in attending additional programs. Any continuing education money not spent during the year will be deducted from the following year’s system grant.

Potential effect for Librarians/Trustees $700

Reviewing Policies

The 2012 System Standards recommends, ”Copies of bylaws and policies are provided to every member of the library board, the library director, and library staff. All library board members annually read and review bylaws and policies.” The System Grant Questionnaire asks librarians to electronically submit the bylaws and policies changed during the review.

Potential effect if standard is met. $200

KLA/KTLA Membership Did the library purchase memberships to KLA for the Library Director (librarian) and KLTA for the all board members? Instructions for KLA/KTLA may be found at: http://ckls.org/how-to-join-kla-and-klta

Potential effect if standard is met. $300

Marketing the Library Marketing the library means getting the library's image before the people. Any activity outside of the library, which tells of library programs, services or activities may qualify. Examples include news releases, radio spots, cable television advertising, brochures about library service or programs, annual reports, Website, Facebook, Pinterest, programs about the library, etc. The grant questionnaire asks for 5 marketing activities.

Potential effect if standard is met. $300

Possible Incentive grant total $3200

10

Competitive grants

In 2017 CKLS will offer $40,000 of competitive grants for facilities to all libraries in CKLS. Grant money may be use for repairing or improving the library’s exterior or interior. Acceptable building and remodeling expenditures include paint, furniture, shelving, contract labor, making library ADA compatible, landscaping, creating special areas for children, teens or seniors, etc.

• Grant guidelines and application will be available. October 2, 2017 • Submit application by this date.
