NO MORE FINES!
THE ROSELLE PUBLIC LIBRARY ELIMINATES OVERDUE FINES!
Your Library has eliminated overdue fines! This year the community of Roselle, along
with the global community as a whole, has experienced unprecedented difficulties.
We hope that by providing access to materials, digital collections, and services to
all within our community, everyday life will be made easier. The Library has removed
the barrier of overdue fines. If you have been unable to access all that the Library
has to offer due to fines you have been unable to pay, you may now resume use of
the Library! If you have been reluctant to use your public library, avoiding the hassle
of fines and the possibility of debt, feel free to explore this valuable community
resource.
Any cardholder who would like existing fines waived may contact the Library's
Circulation department by phone at 630-529-1641, ext. 222,
or email: circulation@rosellepld.org.
● Fees will not be waived for damaged, lost, or stolen materials.

630.529.1641 rosellepld.org 15ANNUAL REPORT | FY 2019-2020
MESSAGE from the
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
The Roselle Public Library District operates on a fiscal year that begins in July and
ends in June of the following calendar year. Included in this annual report are
breakdowns of our income and expenditures, our portion of the tax base for a
sample Roselle household, and a series of highlights from the prior fiscal year we
wanted to focus on in this year’s report.
For the first time since the library district was founded, we had to suddenly close
the building and cease operating the kind of friendly, face-to-face services we
are proud to provide on a daily basis to the Roselle community. Transitioning to
completely remote service via email and over the phone was difficult but we did so
in order to safeguard the health and wellness of our users and staff, many of whom
are residents of Roselle and surrounding communities.
Even now that we have reopened our building once more for limited, distanced
services, and continue to offer curbside pickup, some staff are still working remotely
part or all of the time and we continue to learn how to do our work to the best of
our abilities while the COVID-19 pandemic continues on.
We present this report of the year behind us, regrettably interrupted, but still
noteworthy. A few highlights include our collaborations with the Village of Roselle
to promote the 2020 Census and with the Roselle Park District to install a story walk
beginning at the Clauss Recreation Center.
Stay well,
Samantha Johnson,
Executive Director

Personal Property Replacement Taxes:COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS
The Library was a leading participant in the
Envision Roselle initiative to develop a long-range
community vision for Roselle and all the community
members served by our numerous government agencies. This included participating
in routine meetings and discussions, focus groups, and assisting with communications
and promotions.
Library staff participated with the Village’s Complete
Count Committee to plan promotions and initiatives to
encourage all Roselle residents to respond to the 2020
Census, using state grant funds to pay for these efforts.
Together with Itasca and Bloomingdale Libraries we
held our annual On the Same Page multi-community
reading event throughout the month of October 2019.
The book selection was Ruthless River, by Holly FitzGerald.
Patrons were able to attend programs at all three libraries. This program was made
possible with the support of numerous other organizations, including the Friends of
the Roselle Public Library and the Bloomingdale-Roselle Rotary Club.
Story Walk
Together with the Roselle Park District, the Library debuted
a story walk installation along the walking paths at Clauss
Recreation Center. The story walk consists of a sequential
series of panels conveying a story while walking the path.
The chosen story was I Wish You More by Amy Krouse
Rosenthal and Tom Lichtenheld. Financial support was
provided by the Itasca Bank, the Rotary Club of Bloomingdale-Roselle, the Roselle
Library Foundation, and Friends of the Roselle Library.

eAudiobooks, music, movies and TV shows.
20NAVIGATING A PANDEMIC Remote Service Staff began to work remotely in mid-March and once the Library began curbside pickup, staff continued to work remotely at least part of the time. Services that continued to be provided while the Library was closed to the public included email and phone reference, virtual programming, and virtual notary service. Fines Free & Extending Lending Periods Effective in March, the Library paused the assessment of overdue fines through the end of June, then the Library Board of Trustees voted in June to formally end the practice of assessing daily overdue fines. Fees for lost, stolen, or damaged items still apply. Also effective in June, the Library Board voted to extend lending periods to help spread out the return of materials. Most items are now circulated for three weeks. Quarantine All borrowed materials returned to the Library were and continue to be quarantined in the Library’s Community Room for a minimum of three, to as long as seven, days before staff touch and process them. HVAC in this space runs 24/7 to ensure proper ventilation. COMMEMORATIVE GIFT PROGRAM Consider honoring a friend, remembering a loved one, or celebrating a milestone through contributions for the purchase of a book, CD, or DVD.

ROSELLE PUBLIC LIBRARY DISTRICT
JOINS SWAN LIBRARY SERVICES IN DECEMBER 2020!
You may have heard the exciting news: The Library is joining SWAN (System Wide
Automated Network)! This means we’ll be part of a larger library consortium in
northern Illinois comprising 100 libraries, including academic, public, school, and
special libraries through the Chicagoland area!
The library catalog will include access to the resources throughout the consortium,
allowing patrons to search all collections within SWAN. For a full list of the SWAN
library membership, check out swanlibraries.net/member-libraries/. The shared
catalog provides access to over 8 million books, movies, music, and more, as well
as expanded access to electronic databases and a growing collection of electronic
resources.
While we work through the challenges of providing services during the pandemic
and finding new innovative ways to stay connected, we will provide updates as we
progress on our migration journey.
Our library was awarded a catalog membership grant from RAILS to support
one-time costs associated with data migration and setup. Glenside Public Library
District, Roselle Public Library District, and Warrenville Public Library District are
officially the newest members of the SWAN Library Services consortium, bringing
the membership to 100 libraries.
RAILS provides delivery, shared online catalogs, e-book services, talking book
services, continuing education programs, communication services, and other
leadership services and support to all types of libraries in northern and western
Illinois. The system serves private, public, school, and university library members
in a 27,000 square mile area.
More information about RAILS is available at railslibraries.info.

SWAN LIBRARY SERVICES: WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU
Our library community is growing! On December 9, 2020, we will be joining the
SWAN library consortium (swanlibraries.net). While we are busy working to make
this transition as seamless as possible for you, it is
important to share a few mile markers you will
see on this road trip.
SLIGHT DETOUR
November 23 - December 8, 2020
Partial Catalog Freeze
During this period, our library cannot
add new material to the library catalog.
This means you will see a delay in the
latest Best Sellers being on the shelf.
Other than availability of brand new
materials for you to check out, this freeze should have minimal impact on you.
CONSTRUCTION AHEAD ● December 4 - 8, 2020
