The Racine Public Library, 75 Seventh St., is holding a staff institute day on Friday, January 25, 2008 to begin the planning process for the library's next strategic plan. In order to allow all staff to participate, the main and mobile libraries will be closed to the public. No materials will be due on that day; library materials checked out at the main library will be due January 26, and materials checked out on the Mobile Library will be due the following week on February 1. During February and March the staff will begin drafting a new plan of public service. Public comments and suggestions are encouraged. Please contact Jessica MacPhail, the Library Director, with your ideas by phone at 262-636-9252, by email to: Jessica.macphail@racinelibrary.info. Comments may also be posted on the library's new blog, rplinfo.blogspot.com or emailed to info@racinelibrary.info.
The Racine Public library is also interested in how well the on-line needs of its patrons are being served. The public is being asked to complete a brief survey to help the library determine needed changes to its online services. A link to the survey has been posted to the library website ( racinelibrary.info) and will be available through January 26. Questions or information about the survey may be directed to the Adult Service Dept. at 262.636.9217. The library would also like to remind patrons that for the latest and most up-to-date information about library happenings they can now visit the Racine Public Library on Facebook, Myspace, Flickr, and YouTube:

In December 2007 the library purchased three new state-of-the-art digital viewer-scanners with the help of funds donated by the Althea Brach Estate and the Robert and Mary Beck Family Fund through the Racine Community Foundation. These ST200 digital microfilm readers
provide high resolution, edge-to-edge quality images and are able to read negative and positive film and fiche. Simple icons allow for editing; printing; storing files on CD, disk, or USB thumb drive; or emailing selected or cropped images. Newspaper articles that don't copy well on the older reader/printers have greater clarity on the ST200. Library staff is available to help patrons with use of the new microfilm readers. For more information visit the Adult Reference Desk or call 262.636.9217.
