Muskego library board approves interior signage and children's shelving purchases; signs grant and Bridges addendum also approved
Summary
Trustees approved a $15,067 interior signage project and a board-book shelving purchase, accepted a Bridges Library System 2026 addendum, and deferred additional procurement details (photos/quotes) for shelving; the board also agreed to gather quotes/photos for city submission where required.
The Muskego Public Library Board on Nov. 18 approved an interior signage overhaul and new children's board-book shelving, and signed the annual Bridges Library System member addendum for 2026.
The director described the signage project as a continuation of prior grant work with a bid of $15,067 to update collections signage, meeting-room plates and larger ceiling hang signs and to add ADA-compliant labels. Trustees discussed narrowing the purchase to ADA signage only but approved the full signage item while noting the project may require city approval.
The board also approved purchasing new library-grade board-book shelving to improve circulation and usability in the children's area; staff said the shelving matched longer-term plans and that a number of vendors had been informally researched though the director will obtain additional quotes and photos to include with any city submission if required. Trustees noted that the shelving item may fall under building-improvement thresholds and might not require city action if the purchase remains under the $10,000 threshold.
In routine business the board approved the annual addendum to the Bridges Library System member agreement, a yearly sign-off to accept system services and fund allocations.
Votes at a glance: approve 2026 Bridges member addendum (passed); approve interior signage project — $15,067 (passed); approve purchase of new board-book shelving (passed, director to gather additional vendor quotes/photos for city submission if needed).
Next steps: Director will collect and circulate additional vendor quotes and photos for the shelving and will confirm which signage elements are eligible to proceed without city review.
