The Library’s new Strategic Plan has been accepted by City Council. It outlines our goals for the next five years, and updates our mission statement and vision statement. It was cra ed by the Library Board and staff over a two‐year period and incorporated informa on and feedback from our online user survey. Many thanks to the over 3,800 patrons who responded to our survey in December 2014. Our new mission statement is “Enrich, Excite, Explore.” We believe this reflects the role of today’s public library in the lives of our users. Our vision statement is “The Corvallis‐Benton County Public Library will be an inspiring and vital part of the lives of people of all ages and backgrounds in our communi es. We will:
Be responsive, flexible and innova ve in providing resources and services that enhance the quality of life for all,
Foster an impassioned spirit of explora on and discovery,
Strengthen our sense of community by encouraging civic and cultural engagement, and
Support learning and knowledge.” We have four areas of emphasis: Community Catalyst, Equitable Access, Infrastructure/Facili es, and Support for Learning and Personal Enrichment. These will guide our goals and objec ves. We will review and update our objec ves every two years. Finally, by the me you read this I will be re red. In the last issue I told you it would be my last column, but I decided to write one more to let you know about the new Strategic Plan. Thanks for everything! You are really the best community!

Library Foundation Corner by Be y McCauley, Board Member
If there is one thing that binds library users and supporters of the library, it is pride in the great variety of community interests. New members to the Founda on Board come from different backgrounds, but always have a special place in their hearts for libraries. One of our newest, David Grube, said it succinctly; growing up, the library was his “warm second home”. His mother was librarian Jean Grube, which many of you may know. She was treasurer and a founder of Patchwork, a local journal of memories for ten years. Her library work had an impact on David, he said. We all have followed David’s many contribu ons to Corvallis and Philomath through the years. He was a member of Philomath library’s Brown Bag Book Club, mee ng regularly to share all kinds of books. He even helped “raise the walls” with other volunteers in Philomath when they built their own library. Coming to us from another background is Judith Edelstein who wrote that “she came to libraries early and late in life”. During high school and college vaca ons she worked in the New York City AP news library and the public library in Roslyn NY.
However, for many years she went on to be a teacher and also served in the Peace Corps in Turkey. At the age of 50 she went back to school for a Master of Library Science. Her second career included assistant director at the Manha an Public Library. In Corvallis, a er re rement from Kansas MPL, she has done numerous volunteer du es from “reading shelves” to two terms on the Library Advisory Board, one as president. She’s volunteered at a number of important organiza ons in Corvallis. She has even contributed to the writer’s side of reading as a member of “Live Poets”, which she says is a “group of vigorously aging local writers.” Now the Founda on says thank you also to re ring members, Carol Mason and Russa Ki redge, who have served their terms doing very helpful things for the Founda on. We hope our readers will watch for our annual appeal le er. Dona ons can be made through our website via Pay Pal. As always, we thank you sincerely.

NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2016
Once upon a me, the Old Monroe Library was ny but the li le Story Time Room was always packed with lots to do. Lori Pelkey, Monroe Librarian, asked her best friend, musician Dayna Hansen, to help her sing songs with the kids. Dayna, a mother with two young kids of her own, agreed and took me out of her busy days as a piano teacher, entrepreneur, designer, ac ve member of her church (where her husband, the love of her life for 34 years, is the pastor) to help Lori with Story Time. Many years later, Dayna and Lori are s ll performing Story Time together! Today, a er announcements are read and before the stories begin, all eyes turn to Dayna, the “Cookie Lady” while she passes out cookies for kids to munch on while they listen to the stories. Dayna loves how books excite children, how interested they get in a story, and how their eyes light up at every Story Time. It tugs at her heart, she says, and that is what mo vates her to volunteer at the Library. That, and the fact that the Monroe Library staff are amazing. When you walk in the door, they say “Hi!” and greet almost everyone by name and really make each person feel welcome; children, teens and adults alike. Dayna says the newly built beau ful and spacious Monroe Library is now the hub of the community. “There are no
shushes here,” she says, emphasizing how modern libraries are quite different than they used to be. It is a place where the teens come and hang out, where children learn and play with toys and do art projects, and where parents can talk and play, too.
Dayna does even more than sing songs and pass out cookies, though. She is also the main holiday decorator for the Monroe Library. Each season, her handmade wreaths hang above the fireplace in the lovely new sea ng area, which makes the whole library look fes ve. She decorates for other celebra ons, too, including making huge Truffula Trees for Dr. Seuss Day. The staff there say that Dayna is brilliant, bringing her designer talent and tasteful touches whenever she makes a display, and that she is always smiling. They say even though she is very busy, she
always makes me and that she is always cheerful and loves being there. Dayna s ll teaches piano, both privately and at STRIVE Academy, s ll has a thriving business (not2shabbee at Etsy, and a booth in The Courtyard in Junc on City), and s ll makes me to volunteer at her church, which is very important to her. Not surprisingly, her husband and kids are all musicians and they play music together at their church some mes. Dayna also has a few other plans up her sleeve. Soon she will re re and hopes to fill her re rement with relaxa on; she might even sit down and read a book, something she admits she rarely ever does. She also hopes to travel to Europe in re rement, where she and her husband plan on enjoying some of the old architecture, culture and history of Europe. Dayna encourages others to volunteer for their local library. She says the Monroe Library has a fantas c group of volunteers who contribute in a myriad of ways from weeding to shelving. She says it is rewarding when the kids know you and run up to you and you feel like part of a library family. May Dayna truly be able to re re, relax and be on the receiving end of all that kindness, generosity and many, many cookies.
