Director Frandrup explained the repair will hopefully fix ongoing issues with the elevator, however Otis cannot pinpoint the exact problem. This brought about a discussion from the Library Board on reliability and safety of the elevator due to the reoccurring issues. There was concern that if the elevator were to fail for an extended period, the Library would no longer be ADA compliant. Director Frandrup explained that there is an elevator in the MAM that could be utilized in emergency situations. The Library Board noted that when the Library gets a new building the elevator must be fully replaced. They also noted that a large-scale repair was completed on the elevator only a few years ago, but problems remain. Motion Matson, second Dickson to approve the Non-CIP Capital Outlay draft request for 2027 in the amount of $10,000. Review and Approve Closing DCL from August 14 – 22 for ILS Migration The Library will be going through an ILS migration in August. The exact dates will not be known until after the July 10th system consortium meeting, but Director Frandrup is seeking Library Board approval now so that the Library can push information out to patrons as soon as the final decision is made. He shared the migration timeline and what is to be expected. There is a possibility that the Library may not need to be closed for the entire period depending on how migration goes. Libby and Hoopla will continue to work during the closure. The Library Board stressed that no matter the length of the closure there needs to be a push to communicate to patrons as soon as possible. There was concern that the potential closure will be for over a week. Library branches can still hold programs outside of the Library or in the Library with the understanding that normal services would not be available. The MAM would still be able to remain open to the public as well. Director Frandrup assured the Library Board that if the closure can be shortened, he will make sure it happens. Motion Matson, second Norton to approve closing DCL from August 14 – 22 for ILS Migration. Motion carried. Page 3 of 49 DRAFT June 15th, 2026 Door County Library Board of Trustees Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 3 Review and Approve Changing the August 17 Library Board Meeting Date or Location With the anticipated Library closure on August 17th, the August Library Board of Trustees Meeting must be moved to a new date or location to allow it to be open to the public. Alternate times and locations were discussed. The Library Board agreed to move this agenda item to the July 20th Library Board Meeting. Review and Approve 2026 Nicolet Improvement and Innovation Grant Participation Door County Library will be submitting a Nicolet Improvement and Innovation grant request. Certain tasks in the new ILS are designed to be completed on a tablet. This grant will fund the purchase of iPad minis and cases for all DCL branches as well as about six other libraries in the system to allow those tasks to be done as intended. Due to the number of libraries participating the total amount of the grant is not yet known. Motion Matson, second Bacon to approve participation in the 2026 Nicolet Improvement and Innovation grant.

Page 9 of 49 U P C O M I N G I P R O G R A M JOIN US THIS SATURDAY Artist Talk + Reception Saturday, July 11 | 4pm talk with reception to follow Join us this Saturday for an artist talk with Milwaukee artist Linda Marcus, part of the 2026 12x12 Projectseries. Linda will sit down with Curator Suzanne Rose to discuss the ideas and making process behind her new exhibition—work that explores memory, domesticity, and the physical traces of everyday life. A free reception follows the talk. ABOUT THE EXHIBIT: Working across fiber, painting, printmaking, and sculpture, Milwaukee artist Linda Marcus explores the subtle relationships between memory, domesticity, care, and the physical traces of everyday life. Her multidisciplinary practice embraces materials as active collaborators, allowing gravity, touch, and time to shape each work through an intuitive process grounded in attentiveness rather than control. Bridging traditional craft and contemporary conceptual art, her practice creates works Page 1 of 3Email from Miller Art Museum 7/7/2026mhtml:file://C:\Users\dfrandrup\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.Ou... Page 10 of 49 that are at once formally restrained and psychologically resonant. This exhibit marks the artist's first solo exhibition, introducing audiences to a thoughtful and distinctive contemporary voice whose investigations of material, memory, and the domestic are steadily shaping the broader landscape of contemporary art. ABOUT LINDA MARCUS: Linda B. Marcus (b. 1961, Los Angeles, CA) is a multidisciplinary artist living and working in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Although her early academic pursuits centered on political science at UC Berkeley, followed by graduate studies in journalism and philosophy at Marquette University, Marcus' lifelong interest in observation, storytelling, and the complexities of human experience ultimately found its fullest expression through visual art. After years working as a writer and journalist, she turned her attention fully to studio practice, earning her Master of Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2024. There she refined the interdisciplinary approach and material language that have become hallmarks of her work. Exhibited throughout the Midwest and beyond, her work has been included in exhibitions at the Museum of Wisconsin Art, Wisconsin Museum of Quilts & Fiber Arts, Racine Art Museum, Trout Museum of Art, Woman Made Gallery in Chicago, Arlington Museum of Art in Texas, and venues throughout New York, California, Georgia, and Oklahoma, among many others. It has also appeared in nationally recognized alternative art fairs, invitational exhibitions, and collaborative projects, reflecting an increasingly visible presence within contemporary art. Her growing recognition is evidenced by numerous awards and competitive residencies, including the 2026 Mary L. Nohl Suitcase Award supporting this exhibition, a fellowship to the Vermont Studio Center Residency, the In Situ Polyculture Collaborators Residency in Vermont, and the Edgewood Farm Residency at Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill in Massachusetts.

Lockwood will share the discipline, intuition, and layered sensibility that have guided her steady pursuit of the sublime, inviting us into the atmospheric world of color, form, and feeling that defines her work. The event is free and open to the public; no registration required. Wine and light bites will be served. On View | Awakening Space Through September 12, 2026 Awakening Spacetraces more than five decades of a practice defined by quiet discipline and a steady pursuit of the sublime. Drawing from memory, landscape, and lived experience, Lockwood's paintings invite viewers into contemplation rather than declaration. Each work begins in a real time and place, then is worked and reworked through many layers until the image can be any time and any place. Her surfaces steadily distill, allowing atmosphere, color relationships, and softened form to emerge as the primary language—unfolding across many phases, each arriving at a universal destination, awakened. The exhibition is on view on the second-floor Ruth Morton Miller Mezzanine alongside Bee-cause, Why Knot?, a career retrospective by Racine-based artist Bill Reid in the museum's main galleries. This exhibition has been made possible by the following exhibition sponsors: Additional financial support has been provided by the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Page 15 of 49 Developing and Managing the Library’s Budget Trustee Tale Trustee Tale is a joint project of the Manitowoc-Calumet Library System, Nicolet Federated Library System, Outagamie Waupaca Library System, Winnefox Library System and Wisconsin Valley Library System. If you have questions, comments, or suggestions for future articles, contact your system director. July 2026 By John Thompson, Director IFLS Library System One of the primary authorities granted to the Library Board is the management of the library’s budget. Your financial responsibilities are referenced in a variety of subsections within Wisconsin State Statute section 43.58. Key Statutory References Exclusively control the expenditure of all monies collected, donated or appropriated for the library fund. (43.58(1)) Audit and approve all expenditures of the public library and forward the bills to the appropriate municipal or county official to pay (43.58(2)) Prescribe the duties and compensation for all library employees (43.58(4)) Receive, manage, and dispose of gifts and donations (43.58(7)) What does all of this mean for you as a library board and a library board trustee? Budget Development The Library Board, working with the Library Director, develops a draft operational budget for the upcoming fiscal year based on the anticipated revenue. Typically for a municipal library the projected revenue would include County Revenue (appropriations by the County in support of nonresident use); Fines & Fees; other revenue; and the municipal appropriation request. The operational budget establishes anticipated spending by budget categories including wages and benefit amounts for library staff. The municipal appropriation request is submitted by the Library Board/Director during the municipality’s budget development process. The request typically is the gap between the anticipated revenue and the projected operational Page 16 of 49 expenditure. As the municipal budget process progresses through its typical stages, the Library Board and individual trustees serve as advocates for the appropriation request. Once the municipal appropriation is finalized, the Library Board, with input from the Library Director, will approve the initial operational budget for the library. Spending The Library Director or their designee will use this budget framework to expend funds on materials, programming, supplies, and other services in support of running the library. The Library Board, at their monthly meetings, will approve those expenditures prior to the local municipality issuing payments for those invoices. Some of the recurring expenditures such as payroll expenses and those specifically designated by the Library Board can be approved after they are paid but they must be included as part of the monthly financial report developed and provided to the board by the Library Director or their staff designee. Budget Revisions During the course of the year, the Library Board can approve adjusted allocations in the individual budget categories to meet changes in priorities or unexpected operational costs. Some changes could include increased fuel/utility costs, new material formats, or the need for additional staff. These changes occur without the need for formal approval by the municipal board. Unexpended Funds Once funds are appropriated to the library fund as noted above, they fall under the exclusive control of the Library Board. Any funds unspent by the library should be carried forward into the new fiscal year for expenditure by the Library Board. This could be referred to as either a Fund Balance or Carryover. The funds should then be reallocated for expenditure during that fiscal year based on an Attorney General’s opinion. A Library Board could designate a portion of those funds to cover sick or vacation leave payouts for retirement, but they cannot be placed into a fund without a designated purpose. Please note that if a library overspends its revenue they must find the funding to cover the overage. Reporting The Library Board should review and approve the monthly financial statements developed by library staff, but they should also be reviewing reports provided by the municipality to ensure that the approved expenditures are matching what was paid by the fiscal agent. Yearly the Library Board should be reviewing and approving the annual report submitted by the Library to the Library Bureau (Division).

Library statistics reporting – included statistical reports and charts: Page 21 of 49 Director’s Report Page 3 of 13 Branch Library Locations Reports Baileys Harbor- Mary Sawyer In June the Baileys Harbor library was open 16 days and had 2302 visitors. We hosted three programs: Book Club, a visit from the Bookmobile, and a ceramics class taught by Karen Eckberg. We had a lively discussion of Fredrik Backman’s novel “My Friends,” with 14 attendees in person or online. The Bookmobile visit was a little unexpected but made for a busy day with 39 people checking out the Bookmobile and lots of bonus visitors stopping by the library for cards, crafts, and checkouts. Karen’s class was another hit, with twelve people in attendance make mushroom houses. June also kicked off Summer Reading with 34 kids and 14 adults signing up for the program. Page 22 of 49 Director’s Report Page 4 of 13 Egg Harbor- Dixie Jorns It looks like summer is here with lots of activities and visitors. Because of the many rain days, the library and children’s room have been very busy and well used. We had a very successful Pizza, Puzzles, and Prizes event on the 16th. Eight teams participated and even with the serious nature of our puzzlers, everyone had a fun evening. This was a timed event – with each team having two hours to complete a five-hundred-piece puzzle. Our winning team needed only 55 minutes to finish. (I was impressed!) We hope to make this an annual event for serious and not-so-serious puzzlers. Music Jam continues to liven up our Wednesdays. We have anywhere from 10 to 18 musicians of all skill levels coming out for this. On the 17th when we had a very rainy Wednesday, the Kress was full of families escaping the weather that really enjoyed this event. Eighteen musicians turned out that day as well as about 20 listeners. MakerSpace has benefited from the weather as well. We have been doing a more kid-friendly craft – decorating canvas book bags with Summer Reading Program themes. This has proven to be a great rainy-day project with over 50 families with kids participating in this activity. Our July MakerSpace activity will be tiny mosaics made with glass pieces on plastic. The Kick-off night for this will be on June 30th. Silent Book Club continues to be a hit. We had 15 people socializing and reading silently with us this month. We are hoping that next month will bring weather that is good enough for us to have our group meet out on the Kress veranda. Hopefully we won’t be too distracted by the view! SRP is going well. Twenty-nine children and adults have signed up so far and are reading and bringing in their reading records for prizes and raffle chances. Monthly Story Time and our monthly movie have been suspended until fall due to the heavy programming and activities happening here daily. Because attendance has been spotty and inconsistent, I will revisit the viability of these two programs later in the summer. Page 23 of 49 Director’s Report Page 5 of 13 Ephraim- Suzanne Ihrig 6/1: Kicked off the Summer Reading Program here in Ephraim with a visit from Open Door Bird Sanctuary, who presented Birds and Dinosaurs: Connecting Birds to Their Ancient Ancestors on the Ephraim Library lawn. It was wonderful to see a bunch of people gather on the lawn and then other people wander into the program to ogle the birds after getting ice cream at Wilson’s! 6/2: The Ephraim Library Book Club met for last time until September; this meeting was to plan out the books to be read during the 2025 – 2026 season. 6/11: Peninsula Reptile House presented Reptiles and Dinosaurs: Bringing the Past Forward in the Ephraim Library. We’ve had Peninsula Reptile House at the Ephraim Library before and they’re always a popular draw, as kids seem to love looking at and handling their collection of snakes, lizards, and turtles. 6/20: Ephraim Library held our annual Used Book Sale, as part of the Fyr Bal festival. Due to the beautiful weather Fyr Bal was very busy and we did very well – cleared over $2,000. Page 24 of 49 Director’s Report Page 6 of 13 Fish Creek- Elisha Adelman Lots going on now that summer has started. We’re quite busy most days, and we’ve had a few regular kids’ groups visit. Gibraltar’s summer school program came in to checkout books, participate in SRP, and sign up for library cards (we sent them home with packets for them and their adults). The YMCA summer camp kids have been visiting weekly too, and they’re also participating in those activities. I’ve noticed this year that some of the repeat campers are getting good at using the online catalog themselves, which is exciting. Summer Reading Program is already up this year, especially with a few of our regular families. We’re also working with Inspired Employment to get a new volunteer in late July-August. Everything is set up, and they’ll come help pull weeding, put together craft kits, shelve, and help tidy. Open Door Sanctuary was here, and everybody really enjoyed the visit. They’re fantastic to work with; always happy to have them here. I’m very grateful they put together a program just for us.

Sister Bay/ Liberty Grove - Christina Johnson So many amazing things happen at our library in everyday service for our patrons. It’s truly hard to capture onto paper and in such a brief space the impact and importance we hold in people’s lives. It is positive and worthwhile for sure. To briefly mention a few of the June events that continue to inspire our patrons to come back for more, beyond regular programming and services, are our individual things like: • We brought back providing our ever-popular Plant Propagation Workshop with Maury Brancamp, with the class rsvp capping out, as well as his Astronomy & Telescopes introductory class. • Storytime wrapped up the Baby & Me sessions in early June and we launched into our storytimes geared toward the pre-K through elementary range for the summer with the June 17th one being a Paleontology theme. • The Door County Bookmobile made a stop in our parking lot with an interaction of 40 people aboard. Many of the youngsters this was extra special for as it was also their first time on a bus type vehicle, let alone the cool book they picked out to keep. • The Woodsy Dude Beeswax Luminaries Workshop, which was funded by a grant from The Door County Library Foundation, was an incredible hit. Not only did we limit out and wait list our RSVP signup, but the workshop itself was so well done by Joshua Struck. Highly recommend! Participants enjoyed learning from a great teacher, trying something new, creating together and individually, and with such variety for pressed floral designs each worked on. A sense of community grew amongst the participants, and the room was filled with joy, the fragrance of beeswax warming, and creativity flowing. Page 26 of 49 Director’s Report Page 8 of 13 Students asked where he would be next, when he would be back, and what else he teaches. Many requests for additional sessions to be booked as opportunities in the near future. I’m looking at October as a possibility in theme with Winnie The Pooh’s 100th anniversary for another beeswax luminary workshop and his outdoor survival workshop to be held in our garden area. Several students from the class have since returned to the library to reach out to tell me how hygge and wonderful their luminary makes them feel at home. And one patron in her 90’s shared numerous times appreciation for me letting her know about the workshop, as she had such a great time. She is still so uplifted from participating and said she is inspired to watch for other programs we offer at the library to take part in more in the future. • Ladies of Country Music on 78’s was shared amongst 28 people, with 4 being teens and 24 adults. It covered vintage country music from the 1920s-1950s curated by David Watkins for our location. The history and listening session was funded by the Ann Lewis Bequest and Al Johnson’s Swedish Restaurant & Butik in donating cookies, as well as general donations helping fund popcorn and lemonade. Each of these evens always draw a variety of folks in crowds and we enjoy every minute of having both regulars and new people joining us alike. It is beautiful and uplifting to have the dynamic community that we do, and always great to hear the ways people found out about each event and how it connected with them. Sturgeon Bay Adult Department – Laura Kayacan Tuesday, June 2 - Multicultural Book Group “Atmosphere” by Taylor Jenkins Reid- The book was about 1980’s astronauts and has been in high demand since it was a social network book club favorite. Some in the group loved the books, and others grew to like it as the story developed at the end. Wednesday, June 3 - I attended an online Sandy Brown Award Committee meeting to discuss the 2026 award winner. In 2025 Door County Library won the Award for having chosen TJ Klune’s “The House in the Cerulean Sea” as the Door County Reads book. The new winner was announced at the Open Door Pride festival in Martin Park. Page 27 of 49 Director’s Report Page 9 of 13 Thursday, June 4 - Genealogy Club met and I gave a short talk on a recent project where I helped research house history in Sturgeon Bay. This included maps, phone directories, newspapers, and more. It’s interesting to see how unlike today, personal information was included in the old resources. Monday, June 15 – Door County History Days Kickoff at Crossroad in the Heritage Village began with a keynote speech by UW-Green Bay Associate History Professor, Eric Morgan. His talk discussed the founding of the country as 250 was this year’s theme. Both Joe Taylor, manager of the Door County Museum and Archives, and I had tables at the History Days Kickoff in the old Vignes school room. Tuesday, June 16 - DAR history program The first History Week program in Sturgeon Bay Library was presented by Meredith Renard from the Jean Nicolet Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. She discussed researching family history and how the DAR is highlighting Revolutionary War descendants in Bayside Cemetery. Wednesday, June 17 - Transportation and Career Fair 9-12 Fairgrounds This year I attended the Transportation and Career Fair at the John Miles County Park in Sturgeon Bay. According to Beth Lokken, this is a new version of a transportation event that features local trucks and transportation options. This year it included a career component which was a way for participants to indicate job openings and employment services. Not many people attended this event, but it was useful for networking with community groups. In the afternoon, the Play Reading Club discussion focused on a classic, “The Piano Lesson” by August Wilson. This play is remarkable and won numerous awards, is taught in high schools and has a detailed spot on PBS American Masters. I found a 1995 film of the play on Internet Archive that was produced by August Wilson. This production illustrated the power of this important play. Thursday, June 18 – as part of Door County History Week, the bi-annual history book discussion with John Harris read and discussed “His Excellency George Washington” by Joseph Ellis. The book was very well researched and written gave a good background on Washington that focused on his personality, family, background and not as much on battles. Joseph Ellis is also a commentator on a docudrama “George Washington: Father of his Country.” Page 28 of 49 Director’s Report Page 10 of 13 Thursday, June 25 - Joe Taylor presented “Thar Be Sea Monsters Here! The Fossil Creatures of Door Peninsula.” Joe has immense knowledge of fossils in general and gave a lot of information on the Silurian period and fossils in Door County. He has many examples on display. This event was attended by all ages, and some of the younger kids were remarkably knowledgeable about this subject. Sturgeon Bay Children’s Department - Beth Lokken June went well, with healthy Summer Reading signup numbers right from June 1st. We divide the singups into four age categories, 0-5, 6-11, 12-18 and 19+ to correspond to the age categories in the state Annual Report. All ages are well represented, even the teenagers (who are normally thin on the ground) are participating. I pull the raffles for the winners of both our in-house and Beanstack App raffles every Monday, and the winners have been very pleased. We pull the raffle winners every Monday until August 31st. Many of my programs this summer are at remote sites. Monday afternoons we are partnered with Crossroads at Big Creek; I go out to them to read the new book for their Storywalk each week at 2pm. The largest group so far was 15 people, which is a nice size for book sharing. I have been going to the Boys and Girls Club weekly on Tuesday afternoons, seeing all the kids in their 6 age groups. Each group gets to choose what book-oriented thing they want to do with me; most ask me to read to them, but the Teens are having a rather lively "book discussion group" with me. We go around the group sharing what we have been reading that week; I am able to ask leading questions about their reading that helps bring out conversations. I really like this part of my week. The YMCA's 4 age groups see me on alternating weeks, with the Y's Otumba Camp starting off their 3 week camp runs with a visit to the library to choose their reading while at camp. Doorway to Learning Daycare still gets their once a month visit, which goes year-around with me seeing 5 of their age divided rooms from 2-5 year olds. They get the full storytime treatment, with songs and fingerplays as well as stories. Weekly Storytime at the Library has kicked off well, with 12-18 babies to preschoolers and their families on any given week. We have been trying to be outside on the Government Center Lawn (across the street from the Library) as much as possible, but between the heat and the rain, we have been inside quite a bit. We enjoy toys after storytime if we are inside, and bubbles if we are outside. (Summer is so much fun!) Joe Taylor brought his fossil program “There Be Monsters Here!” to us on June 25th. He was delighted with the budding paleontologists in our midst. I took a table and tent out to the Pride Festival at Martin Park all day on June 27th. I enjoyed talking to the festival goers about summer reading and the library. All it took to bring folks over to chat was a wave and a smile! We are Page 29 of 49 Director’s Report Page 11 of 13 lucky that the festival is only a block from the Library and that we were open; I was able to send people over all day to get library cards and materials we talked about. In July we are looking forward to visits from the Peninsula Reptile House (from Algoma) and The Woodsy Dude (from Crivitz). By the time I write to you again, the Altrusa Back to School Fair will be over and I will have given 459 kids their choice of brand new books to take home for their personal collections. Thanks to the Friends of Door County Libraries and Altrusa of Door County for their continued support and their increased funding for this year. Sturgeon Bay Circulation Department – Morgan Mann • The month of June had a steady library use with patrons of all ages joining us at programs and in checking out materials. • OWLS training materials and office hour discussions were shared with all staff. Staff Training Committee members hosted Polaris Open Office Hours via Zoom twice weekly throughout the month for staff to ask questions. • 6/16: I attended the Vega Discovery Training. This is the overlying software that controls the look-and-feel of the Infosoup card catalog. Washington Island- Corinn Sevcik June was a very busy month at the Washington Island Library. To go along with the Summer Reading Program theme of "Unearth a Story," we decorated the library with dinosaurs hanging from the ceiling, and vines and dinosaurs lining the walls. The month started off with our monthly Storytime and Crafts on Tuesday, June 2. We had a decent turnout with nine children and six adults. The theme was Spring, so Meghann read several books about spring and spring animals. Then, we headed outside for attendees to plant marigold seeds in a pot they decorated with stickers. And, children also made butterflies with coffee filters, a clothes pin and markers. Both crafts were a huge hit! Page 30 of 49 Director’s Report Page 12 of 13 The 1st/2nd grade, and 3rd/4th grade classes visited the library at the beginning of this month for the last visit (as classes) of the school year. The 3rd/4th grade class colored "We Love Our Librarian" sheets and thanked me for helping them find books during the school year. I hung the artwork up in the library. I encouraged all students to continue to visit us this summer. On Tuesday, June 23, we held our Summer Reading Program Kick-off event from 10 am to noon. We had a wonderful turnout of 56 children and 22 adults. By attending and signing up for the Summer Reading Program, children were given a dinosaur-themed goodie bag containing binoculars, a magnifying glass, a compass, two dinosaur bookmarks, a dinosaur pencil, a dinosaur coloring book and crayons, a dinosaur slap bracelet and stickers. Inside the library, we held a coloring contest with four age categories, and the winners received a prize. Outside activities included making dinosaur cut outs with play dough and dinosaur-shaped cookie cutters, chipping dinosaur figurines from ice balls using small wooden hammers and chisels (or just throwing the ice balls on the sidewalk), playing a magnetic fishing game and bean bag toss. On Tuesday, June 30, we held an event with the Open Door Bird Sanctuary. For the second year, we had an amazing turnout with 50 children and 36 adults. All attendees loved hearing about the three birds that were brought as part of the presentation, and how they were similar to dinosaurs. Attendees also enjoyed feeling the bird feathers and talons, and looking at egg replicas that were on display. The monthly Adult Book Club held on Thursday, June 25, had a decent attendance with nine patrons. We discussed "The Reading List" by Sara Nisha Adams. Most attendees seemed to enjoy the book. I finished weeding the Mystery section, and gained some valuable real estate. Dafina has been wonderful with creating new spine labels for mystery authors with lots of series and/or many books in a series. The new spine labels make it so easy to find specific books in a series for patrons, and for patrons to find the books themselves. Page 31 of 49 Director’s Report Page 13 of 13 Page 32 of 49 8.

Review New County Employee and Administrative Handbook Wisconsin League of Municipalities FAQ publication (https://www.lwm-info.org/m/faq?cat=73#question-537) summarizes municipal authority over library employees. The County of Door controls the terms and conditions of employment for library employees, and as such, has authority to adopt a handbook applicable to library employees. There is no need for the Library Board to formally adopt the new handbook as it already applies to library employees. The handbook is included as informational due to the Library Board’s oversight of the Library. 20 July 2026 – Library Board Meeting Agenda Notes Page 43 of 49 12. Review and Approve Service Changes for ILS Migration Door County Library will be undergoing an ILS software update from August 7-18. As a precautionary measure the Library will be closed during part of this time. Patron service impacts have been minimized during the migration process. Library staff have duties to be completed in addition to scheduled ILS / Polaris training and training with Rethinking Libraries consultants. Patron messaging and press release included below. 13. Review and Approve Changing the August 17 Library Board Meeting Date or Location The August 17th board meeting date and/or time will need to be adjusted with the current plan to have the Door County Library- Sturgeon Bay location closed for part of the ILS migration. 20 July 2026 – Library Board Meeting Agenda Notes Page 44 of 49 Page 45 of 49 107 SOUTH 4TH AVENUE 920-743-6578 WWW.DOORCOUNTYLIBRARY.ORG @doorcountylibrary @doorcountylibrary Door County Library Door County Library Contact: Dominic Frandrup Office: Door County Library Email: dfrandrup@doorcountylibrary.org Date: 07/10/2026 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: TEMPORARY CHANGES TO DOOR COUNTY LIBRARY SERVICES (STURGEON BAY, WI) – Door County Library, along with all other InfoSoup libraries, will be undergoing a library software transition to launch a refreshed online catalog and mobile app. The new InfoSoup catalog and app will be designed to provide additional features and greater accessibility, however this will result in limited library services during the months of July and August 2026. Impacts include: • A temporary pause in receiving items from other libraries. • A temporary loss of access to accounts and the mobile app. • Potential loss of reading histories and lists. • Limited services on certain days and locations. • Closures of locations on certain days. A more detailed timeline of impacts for Door County Library users are as follows: July 26: Last day to place holds, so they can be picked up by or before August 8th. July 27: You will be able to request items, but you won’t receive the items you have requested until after August 19th. August 6: To prevent reading list and reading history loss, you will need to download their reading lists and reading histories by end of day. Talk with library staff for assistance in downloading your reading list. August 7–19: You will not be able to access your InfoSoup accounts, including the ability to place holds, renew items, create lists, or pay fees. August 7–8: You will only be able to access your accounts through library staff intervention. You will need to call, email, or visit your local library to place holds, renew items, create lists, or pay fees. This will be the last day that you will be able to check out held items available for pickup. August 10–12: Most Door County Library locations will be closed. Baileys Harbor, Sister Bay/ Liberty Grove, and Sturgeon Bay will be open during regular hours but with limited services. Physical materials will not be able to be checked out. Page 46 of 49 107 SOUTH 4TH AVENUE 920-743-6578 WWW.DOORCOUNTYLIBRARY.ORG @doorcountylibrary @doorcountylibrary Door County Library Door County Library August 13–18: All Door County Library locations will be closed to the public. August 19: Door County Libraries will resume regular hours. You will have access to your new, improved InfoSoup account. The new InfoSoup online catalog will be available, and a new InfoSoup app will be available for you to download. Because software updates are an imperfect process, changes to this timeline may occur with little warning. For the most up-to-date information regarding this transition of services at Door County Library, be sure to check our website: doorcountylibrary.org and our social media accounts. Access to digital resources like Libby and Hoopla will remain available throughout the entire process. Library events, public computers, public printing, puzzles, and other in-house services will be available at open locations. Please check our website calendar for event updates and information. “We apologize for the large impact to library services during the middle of Summer. Thankfully library software migrations are a very rare occurrence at approximately every 5-10 years. Thanks to our library patrons and community members for their patience and understanding as this project progresses,” said Dominic Frandrup, Director of Door County Library. The Kewaunee and Algoma Public Libraries will also be affected by these software changes. Please contact them for the availability of their services. # # # Page 47 of 49 14. Review and Consider for Approval for the Miller Art Museum Request to Serve Alcohol at Designated Events The Miller Art Museum is working on plans for 2026 programming and is requesting to serve alcohol at certain events in the upcoming year. Serving alcohol at Miller events requires approval from the Library Board and Sturgeon Bay City Council. Included is their letter of request, including a list of proposed dates, times, and events at which alcohol would be served. 20 July 2026 – Library Board Meeting Agenda Notes Page 48 of 49 July 13, 2026 TO: Sturgeon Bay Common Council 421 Michigan Street Sturgeon Bay, WI 54235 FROM: Miller Art Museum SUBJECT: Request to Serve Alcohol After Hours Dear Mayor Ward and City of Sturgeon Bay Common Council Members, What an exciting year 2026 is shaping up to be for the Miller Art Museum! Building on continued momentum in curatorial leadership, successful fundraising efforts, and dynamic new programming, I write to you with much enthusiasm about your art museum's future and recognize the dedicated ongoing support of our community, which has enabled our organization to grow. Through its collection, exhibitions, and educational programming, the museum serves to enrich the cultural fabric of Door County by connecting artists and community with opportunities to explore, appreciate, and advance the visual arts. As the Peninsula's only fine art museum, we house more than 1,500 works of art, including the world's largest public collection of work by Gerhard CF Miller, the most influential artist Wisconsin's Door Peninsula has known. Daily, one can wander through our doors and find inspiration in the work on display. There is no better time, I am certain, to recognize and celebrate the contributions of cultural institutions like ours! I write with enthusiasm, seeking your consideration and permission to serve wine at the following events: Event Date and Time Exhibition Saturday, August 1, 5 – 6 pm Lois Bielefeld | 12 x 12 Project (rcptn. in tandem w/ 4 - 5 pm prgm.)

It is important to note that we would like to offer wine to museum patrons (free of charge) after the library is closed (Fridays and Saturdays at 5 pm); we kindly request that this item be placed on the next agenda for consideration. Should you have any questions about this request, I would encourage you to contact me directly at (920) 746-0707 or egigstead@millerartmuseum.org; I would be happy to provide clarification as well as articulate the value of our institution.
