3. Director’s Report
Hansen presented the following items for the Director’s Report:
• Update on services in the library during COVID. No changes have been made
since last month in how the library is operating on-site services due to the
pandemic. The Library is still offering curbside pickup and appointments. The
Library’s highest circulation in the last three Novembers was in November of
2020, even though access was very limited due to COVID.
• The Library’s OverDrive electronic book collection will be integrated into the
school library catalog of the West Fargo Public Schools, making the collection
more easily accessible to students.
• Update on Folkways community input project. Last month, Folkways presented
user personas to the Library Board. This month, Folkways conducted a
workshop with the Library staff that focused on the user personas. The Library
staff broke out into groups and chose from multiple “How might we” questions
to come up with different programs and services that addressed needs and pain
points presented by the user personas. Additionally, Folkways is still looking for
residents to interview who are not library users.
• Lauren Nephew, Youth Services Manager, gave a programming update.

2021 Library Projects and Initiatives
Major projects
 Strategic planning. Continue and complete a community input project to study residents’ needs
and develop library service responses and goals that meet those needs (basis for 2021-2024
strategic plan).
 Little Red Reading Bus. Bring books and learning opportunities directly to West Fargo kids and
families in summer 2021, empowering them to be confident learners at school, avoid summer
learning loss and have equal access to books.
 Summer “Learning” Program. Redevelop the longstanding “summer reading program” into a
community-driven program, by first asking community members and partners questions about
the lives and needs of adults, teens, and children in the summer months.
 Customer service. Provide patron-focused, proactive customer service by identifying and
eliminating barriers for our patrons and creating a work environment where policy, procedure,
and practice support staff in providing this service.
 Plan for facilities. Continue discussions with stakeholders regarding future library facilities that will
be responsive to how residents want to use their library – for socialization, community gatherings,
learning new things, play and interaction with friends and family.
 Plan for staffing. Continue transitioning our staffing model from majority part-time to full-time staff
to ensure innovative and robust customer service, programming, and collections for residents.
 Celebrate 50 years of WFPL. Celebrate the successes of all that West Fargo Public Library has
provided throughout the years by taking a look back and thanking the community that helped
bring our library together and support its growth.
Organizational competencies
Every organization has competencies to strengthen to provide better service. WFPL managers
have set goals to improve:
 Evaluation & advocacy. Measure the effectiveness of programs and services in meeting
desired outcomes and communicate the impact of the library in people’s lives.
 External partnerships. Especially targeting audiences identified as underserved by the
WFPL currently.
 Fundraising. Collaborate with the Mobile Library Task Force and Friends of the Library on
a fundraising campaign for Giving Hearts Day 2021.
 Service development. Establish a common approach to developing library services that
ensures they continuously support community needs and desires.
 Staff development. Supportive onboarding, funds for training, and opportunities for
mentorship, goal-setting, and growing skills for all staff.
 Technology & efficiency. Implement new technology to get new books in the hands of
residents faster and improve management of our collections budget.

PROGRAM STATS PATRON FEEDBACK
ADULT Feedback from DNA Kits & Family History participant survey
Thank you for providing this learning opportunity and for
your help.
Feedback from Intro to Family History participant survey
I appreciate information on genealogy. Jackie Marler’s
presentation on Introduction to Family History & Genealogy
was excellent. I learn something every time Jackie Marler
gives a presentation on genealogy. I ordered 2 of the
genealogy books that she recommended.
CHILD
I appreciate the Zoom classes during the COVID-19
Pandemic - and I hope the Zoom presentations will
continue after the pandemic.
Keep up the good work
