Our Mission:
Educate, Enrich, Entertain, Encourage Reading and Lifelong Learning
Continue Striving
The Public Libraries of Saginaw has not skipped a beat in continuing to provide
relevant and popular services to our patrons. At a time when funding is diminishing,
the staff has shown tremendous creativity in their ability to do more with less. Out
of their ingenuity, openness to new ideas, and a sincere desire to serve others, they
have given “old” programs a new twist, and developed new ones that address the
greatest needs of the public. To further stretch our resources, more partnerships
have been formed throughout the community, bringing even more patrons into
our service network. Our Community Resource Series is one such program that
continues to offer information on the hottest topics for today.
Tina Gutierrez
Library Board President
The convenience we brought you with the downloadable audiobooks, e-books and
our library’s self-checkout system has now been expanded to include two applications which you may access
anytime with your smart phone or tablet – the Overdrive Media App and the LibAnywhere App. The first allows
you to access our eBook and eAudiobook collection. The second allows you to scan the barcode of any book
anywhere and immediately check to see if it can be borrowed from the library’s collection.
With each year that passes, I find myself to be increasingly grateful for the financial support of our donors.
Thank you for your generous donations and your faith in our continued efforts to offer you the best possible
library services.
Taking the Right Direction
Advances in technology, serious thought about our direction, and an emphasis on
providing quality services all played a large part in the successes in 2012.
Staff worked diligently on setting the stage for a new product that will make an
amazing local resource history available to world – the Maxwell K. Pribil Digital
History Collection. Apps for smartphones that allow instant access to your library
account and the ability to scan a book anywhere and discover which library owns it
were tweaked and went live.
Trish Burns
Library Director
The staff and patrons worked together to develop a new strategic plan, which has
three main pillars as its foundation. The library will bring people together, help
support young people, and highlight positive aspects of the Saginaw community. Under the three main pillars,
specific targets have been set that will be reviewed and updated each year to keep the plan fresh and ensure that
we are providing what the community wants within our available resources.
The quality programs that you’ve come to expect were all reviewed, re-vamped, or reduced. New programs
based on community wants and needs were planned and are being rolled out.
All in all, a successful year for the Public Libraries of Saginaw. We thank you for continuing to use our services,
recognizing the quality and value your local library provides.
Summer Reading Program Goes Online
Technology continues to lead the way! For the first time, patrons were able to register
online from home, at work, or by dropping in at one of our branches and using our
computers. The Summer Reader Online Resource allowed patrons and staff to easily
log reading progress, manage prize distribution and compile statistics. In addition
to patrons registering online or in-house, we had 14 schools and community agencies
participate in our outreach. Our summer reading program is one of the top in the
state (almost 9,000 participants from ages birth-100); and it is our goal to continue to
provide programs and activities that promote family literacy and encourage reading.

Tweens & Teens
We continue to partner with schools, churches, local
organizations, agencies and our area colleges to provide
interactive programming for students 10-18 years of age
and their families. From scholarship and financial aid
nights, career fairs, craft programs, unique activities and
literacy programs; we strive to engage our youth because
they are the future VOICE of the library.
PNC Foundation Awards
Grow Up Great Grant
Learning how to manage money can’t start early enough. That’s why
the PNC Foundation awarded a $33,639 grant to the Public Libraries
of Saginaw for a new program to teach local children about sharing,
saving and spending; and to equip their
parents with resources to reinforce
the lessons. Payable over a two year
period, this funding will allow the Public
Libraries of Saginaw to further extend
our library’s mission of providing programs and services that improve
school readiness to young children and their families. Children’s staff
presented special storytimes, organized a Financial Family Fun Fair,
and also provided childcare providers with the necessary tools and
resources to teach the concept. PNC staff was also on hand during the
activities to help promote financial literacy.
LEGO Club
Over the past three years, the Lego Club at our Butman-Fish branch has grown to become one of the
most valuable and interactive learning programs in our library system for school-aged children and their
families. The success and popularity of this activity has impelled us to expand Lego Club into our Claytor
and Wickes branches. Studies show that play contributes to literacy development; play involving Legos
not only serves as a pathway for learning, but it also encourages logical mathematical thinking, problem
solving, increased vocabulary and it challenges the imagination. Join Us!
Celebrate Libraries
During the month of April, libraries all over the nation are involved
in programs and activities that promote reading and enrich the
relationship between libraries and their community. From Mother
Goose Times, live animal presentations,
learning about healthy snacks and
vegetable gardening, learning about theatre acting, to our Community
Resource Series for adults, the Public Libraries of Saginaw provided something
for everyone to enjoy. The celebration ended with a magical ride on the
Madcap Puppets “Solar Express” a FREE program which was co-sponsored
by the Mideastern Michigan Library Cooperative, The Dow Event Center and
the Public Libraries of Saginaw. The evening was full of laughter, fun and it
inspired the imagination of children of all ages and their families.
One Book, One Community
The goal of One Book, One Community is for the Public Libraries of Saginaw to
select and promote one incredibly thought provoking book for the entire year. We
enthusiastically encourage our community to read and discuss this book by hosting
book talks and providing free copies of the selection to numerous groups. Our grand
finale is always a visit by the author of the book that we selected. We actively seek
out titles that will appeal to a wide range of audiences and foster intergenerational
reading and discussion.
The 2012 selection was “Skeletons at the Feast” by Chris Bohjalian, the critically
acclaimed author of fifteen books. His love affair with reading began as an
adolescent and pushed him to have the courage and drive to follow his dream to
become a writer. In 1998, his book “Midwives” was selected as an Oprah Book
Selection and in 2002, he was awarded the New England Book Award. In 2007, Bohjalian released “Skeletons
at the Feast,” a love story set in the last six months of World War II in Poland and Germany. It is the profoundly
moving story of the perilous trek of a German family fleeing the onslaught of the Soviet Army and a parallel
narrative about hundreds of Jewish women struggling to survive a pitiless forced march from a death camp.
The reader is left with a deep appreciation for the strength of the
human spirit despite adversity.
Over 100 people gathered to hear Chris Bohjalian speak about
“Skeletons at the Feast” and the woman that inspired the
story. Attendees had the opportunity to speak with the author
personally during the book signing session. The author also
had an opportunity to make a surprise visit to the Butman-Fish
Library book discussion group. The response to this event was
overwhelmingly positive. One Book, One Community 2012 touched
the fabric of our community and linked individuals, families, and
groups with an excellent author.
Celebrating our Culture
The 2012 African-American History Month Community
Celebration focused on the theme: Black Women
in American Culture & History. Miz Rosie (Rosie
Chapman) performed a dramatic and interactive
one woman show which vividly told about the life
and times of Madame C. J. Walker. Walker was a
determined and proud woman, who moved from the
cotton fields of the South to a self-made businesswoman,
making her one of the richest women in the United States.
The National African-American Read-In Chain continues to be a
gathering of learning and sharing of literacy. It is always held
immediately after the Saginaw Branch NAACP meeting and is
a multi-generational literacy program that promotes works by
African-American authors. It also serves as a venue for local
African-Americans, especially our children and teens, to share their
own creative writing. This program promotes reading works by
African-American authors around the world.
The 2012 Hispanic Heritage Month Community Celebration
focused on the theme: El Pasado, El Presente Y El Futuro.
One of Saginaw’s most notable and respected citizens,
David Gamez, shared the humbled beginnings of health
care for migrant workers in the Saginaw Valley at the
Guadalupe and Saginaw clinics, which was an inspiration
for the start of what is now Health Delivery. There were
some great stories shared.
“Cultural differences should not separate us from each other,
but rather cultural diversity brings a collective strength that
can benefit all of humanity.”
Robert Alan Aurthur, Screenwriter & Director
Top Notch Digital Services
Over the past year, the library has made many additions to the services we offer. As our world
becomes more digital, we are adapting our services to be more accessible for busy people on the go
who might not have time to visit our branches as much as they’d like. In addition to all of these great
new services, we are constantly adding to our collection of ebooks and downloadable audiobooks on
Overdrive as a way to add to our diverse collection of materials in all formats.
LibraryThing
LibAnywhere
This mobile app can be found at
both the Apple App Store or at
Google Play. Patrons are able to
search, place holds, renew items,
and scan a barcode from a book
at a retail store and find out if
it is available at the library and
place a hold immediately.

LibAnywhere App
For Android
For iPhone
LibraryThing adds social-networking and informative tools available
directly to you through the library catalog. These new tools provide
in-depth information about books such as series information, reviews,
and a virtual bookshelf showing other books the library has on the shelf
next to the book you’re viewing. The goal is to provide you the patron,
parent, or teacher the ability to find the perfect book for your needs.
Saginaw Images
We’re proud to update the Saginaw Images collection using a new
delivery platform, the Maxwell K. Pribil Digital History Collection. Our
first live collections include a database of Saginaw County Cemetery
headstones and our extensive Goodridge Brothers photographs. We’ll be
adding many more items from our archives as time goes on.
Facebook
We’ve added the Social Library App to our Facebook page. You
now have the ability to access the library catalog and search to
check the availability and location of an item. You can log into
your account to place holds, view the items you currently have
checked out, and you can even renew your materials directly
from Facebook. As an added bonus, when you use the Public
Libraries of Saginaw app from within Facebook, it’s easy to
“Like” or share the items you enjoy with family and friends!
Chat Reference Service
If you visit our website, you’ll find
that during library hours you can
chat directly with a librarian and
get an instant answer to your
questions from our reference
staff via live chat.
Online Databases @
www.saginawlibrary.org
Here at the Public Libraries of Saginaw we are always looking for ways to make
useful information available to you as easy as possible. One way we do that is to offer
electronic databases which you can search both from home and from the library itself.
In addition to our index of biographical information, our index of the
Saginaw News and our index of literary biographies and reviews, we
have recently added a wonderful database that will be invaluable for
entrepreneurs, for those interested in relocating, or for anyone who
needs demographic information for the United States.

In a global economy
we also know that the
ability to speak more

With that in mind, we have added
a new database called Rocket

Library Impacts the Community
Sometimes… we take for granted the opportunity we have to check out a
book, download an eBook, increase tech skills by taking a computer class,
pose a question to a member of the Reference staff, go online to check out
what’s happening in the community, access a database or renew a book on
the library’s 24/7 website or attend an interesting and entertaining program
in a safe and friendly environment.
In & Around the Community
The Public Libraries of Saginaw “outreach” is a conscious effort to extend
its presence beyond the walls of its five branches. We participate with
neighborhood association meetings, community events, area festivals,
meetings with organizational, and municipal and corporate leadership.
Being present and involved with community events, provides opportunities
for library staff to share information on new library technology, current
offerings, respond to questions and present general information on
programs and services that are available to children, tweens, teens and
adults throughout the year.
Friends Support the Library
The Friends of the Public Libraries of Saginaw have
continued to support the libraries within the City of Saginaw
and Saginaw Township in numerous ways throughout 2012. Specialized "touch-and-feel" books featuring pictures of
animals were purchased and prepared by the Friends for
distribution through Covenant Hospital to all babies born
during the months of April and September in Saginaw. This
is an ongoing activity known as Books for Babies. In Spring,
members of the libraries’ staff were supported in an annual
community spelling bee. The major focus of the Friends
was the annual Summer Reading Program. Their financial
support and volunteers helped with the success of the
program. Finally, the Friends participated in a book fair at
Barnes & Noble in December to publicize the importance of
the Public Libraries of Saginaw and to encourage all to visit
the branches regularly.
In the Spring and Fall, the Friends conducted used book
sales at both the Butman-Fish and Zauel branches to raise
funds for many improvement projects and added media
purchases in those branches. The Friends also participated
at the Farmer’s Market on Washington Street three times
during the summer months with tables of books for sale and
donation. Although the Friends received some money for this
effort, the primary purpose was to distribute books to people
visiting the market and to encourage people to visit and use
the Public Libraries of Saginaw.
Being Fiscally Responsible
The Public Libraries of Saginaw
has been making important
decisions based on the declining
revenue the library receives.
These decisions have allowed
the library to maintain quality
services and programming,
while adapting to a declining
budget. Between 2002 and 2012
revenues decreased 23% and
expenditures increased 22%.
Some of the larger increases and
decreases are:
In 2002 the library was able to add $1,139,825 to their reserves. In
2012, $1,156,445 was transfered out of reserves in order to meet
budget, a 103% drop. Below is a chart of the library’s budgets from
the past 10 years. Please note that a reduction in revenues had
been projected, and expenses were decreased accordingly. Over the
next few years the library board and administration will decrease
expenses and continue providing needed services.
