Issues This policy serves the needs of library staff and users well. It allows parents and children to decide together if and when a school aged child is capable of visiting and using the Library alone. It designates a specific age limit, under which young children must be accompanied and supervised by a parent or caretaker of an appropriate age at all times. It provides staff with the means to guide parents in safe library behaviors while still respecting parental rights to decide when their child may use services. There have be no problems enforcing this policy. Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends no changes to the existing language. Action: Review and retain the Unattended Children Policy as is. Prepared by Angela Pilkington, Children Services Coordinator, November 18, 2021 813 Unattended Children 4 See also related policy on Conduct in the Library (809). 813.1 The purpose of the unattended children policy is to maintain a safe and secure environment for children using the Library and to reinforce that parents or guardians are responsible for the supervision and behavior of their children at all times. 813.2 Children under six must be accompanied at all times by a responsible person in the immediate vicinity. A responsible person must also accompany any children who need supervision on library visits as determined by library staff. The responsible person must be at least 12 years old. 813.3 If a child is left unattended, is disruptive, or needs supervision, staff will locate the person responsible for the child and review expectations for supervision and conduct. If staff cannot locate the person responsible for the child, they will attempt to reach the parent or guardian by phone. If the parent or guardian is not located within one hour, or if the Library is closing, the police will be called to assume responsibility for the child.

Issues: The Alcohol in the Library Policy clearly states that alcoholic beverages are not allowed in the Library building with a few very specific exceptions. The proposed changes in 817.1, 817.3, and 817.5 further clarify the policy. They were reviewed and approved by Iowa City Assistant City Attorney Jennifer Schwickerath. She also reviewed the insurance requirement, Iowa law and local ordinances regarding the serving, possession, and consumption of alcohol, and determined that the updated ICPL policy does not conflict with them. Staff Recommendations: 1.817.1, add “and on the Bookmobile” to make it clear this rule also applies on the vehicle. 2.817.3, replace “meeting rooms” with “spaces” to codify ability to use the gallery and other spaces beyond meeting rooms for wine and beer service at special events. 3.817.5, add “business” in the second sentence before “days,” to specify that the proof of insurance be received when Administrative and Development Office staff are available to review prior to an event. Action: Review and adopt as amended. Prepared by: Patty McCarthy, Development Director, November 5, 2021. Review Committee: Patty McCarthy, Development Director, and Elsworth Carman, Director, with Assistant City Attorney Jennifer Schwickerath. 6 817 Alcohol in the Library Policy See also: Meeting Room Policy #806; Use Policy #809; applicable Iowa laws and local ordinances regarding the serving, possession and consumption of alcohol; and Administrative Policy: Regulations for the Use of Alcohol in the Iowa City Public Library. 817.1 Alcoholic beverages are strictly prohibited in the Library building and on the Bookmobile except in accordance with the provisions of this policy. 817.2 With the prior consent of the Library Director or the Library Director’s designee, wine and beer may be served at special events hosted by the Library or the Iowa City Public Library Friends Foundation. 817.3 With the prior written consent of the Library Director or the Library Director’s designee of at least thirty (30) days, wine and beer may be served at special events in Library meeting rooms spaces hosted by other entities of Iowa City government or the Iowa City UNESCO City of Literature. 817.4 The use of alcoholic beverages in leased commercial space is governed by the terms of the lease. 817.5 All groups are responsible for securing any and all required licenses and general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 or providing proof of license and insurance held by the entity serving the alcohol. The City must be listed as an additional insured, proof of which must be provided at least two business days prior to the event. Adopted: 10/25/12 Revised: 11/19/15 Revised: 4/25/19 Revised: 11/18/2021 Formatted: Strikethrough 7 Adult Services Department Report Prepared for the November 18, 2021 Meeting of the Iowa City Public Library Board of Trustees Jason Paulios, Adult Services Coordinator New General Research and Car and Engine Repair Resources Last July a number of subsidized online resource contracts provided by the State Library expired and replacements either were not sought out or are still in negotiations. One involved access to Gale’s online magazine and academic journal database and another was for Chilton (Auto) Repair. Both of these involve resource topics that the Online Resources Task Force didn’t prioritize. Since then we’ve been considering alternatives to be able to offer similar products, meanwhile relying on free online resources and Interlibrary Loan book and article requests. Our decision to replace without state funding wasn’t automatic, we don’t get these types of questions as often as we once did. Ultimately, I decided to test the waters for a year with products from EBSCO. Prior to the State’s contract with Gale they had offered EBSCO products that were well liked by Library staff and had access to sources that were well known. We now offer the following on our Online Resources page for Resident card types with library card and PIN/password (icpl.org/resources): Academic Search Premier – providing access to thousands of full-text, peer-reviewed academic journals covering the major areas of academic research.

Kudos – A few notes regarding programs and classes this fall: “Your LinkedIn Profile” class – (observation) Drew some jobseekers with great questions and excitement about LinkedIn. One person was interested in job opportunities and possibly changing careers, another had been laid off and was job seeking, and a third was interested in how recruiters work on LinkedIn for her freelance writing. “ICPL History Walks: The Murder of Lizzie Hess”- (email comment) I would like to thank ICPL for hosting a history walk last Friday night. Candice was so well prepared and sensitive to the topic. While the program was about the murder of Lizzie Hess, it was so much more. Candice drew from wide sources and set the walk not only in the Iowa City of the period but also placed it in the greater world. And her sensitivity was so welcome. The murder of a Fairfield Spanish teacher had occurred earlier in the week and Candice made special note that she did not want to make light of the recent murder or to treat murder or domestic assault as something to be not taken seriously. As it turned out there were two young women on the tour who had been students of the teacher. I know I felt better hearing that she had given thought to cancelling the tour but decided to go ahead as there was a story to tell. I think the others in the group appreciated her care too. Local history programming has long been a strength of ICPL. I am so glad to see it continue. Candice deserves high praise for her history walk program. And kudos to the library for allowing such creative programming. 8 COMMUNITY & ACCESS SERVICES REPORT NOVEMBER 2021 The Community and Access Services Department has been delighted to welcome back the ICPL volunteers who support a variety of functions including gift sorting, collection inspection, and greeting at the Welcome Desk.

Shout out to Frannie for reporting conference takeaways at a recent All Staff meeting and for pursuing EDI outreach opportunities. Additionally, CAS staff attended the 2021 Iowa Library Association (ILA) Conference which focused on resiliency during uncertain and unsteady times. Heidi attended a pre- conference at the Iowa Department for the Blind called "Not Everyone Can Read That: Accessibility and Using Alternative Formats in Your Library." Sam was elected Vice President/President-Elect of the Iowa Library Association. They will officially rejoin the ILA Executive Board in January 2022. Sam participated in their first American Library Association Executive Board meeting at ALA Headquarters. They have been assigned to be Executive Board Liaison to the ALA Awards Committee, ALA Chapter Relations, ALA Literacy Committee, ALA Intellectual Freedom Committee, ALA Intellectual Freedom Round Table, ALA-Allied Professional Association, ALA Policy Monitoring Committee, the Young Adult Library Association, and the Reference User Services Association. CONTINUED EDUCATION/STAFF DEVELOPMENT 10 Sam coordinated the third annual Iowa Library Association's Intellectual Freedom Committee and ACLU of Iowa's Banned Books Trivia event. It is their hope to host the event in person at the Iowa City Public Library in 2022. The state- wide program promoted privacy, intellectual freedom, and equitable access. On the heels of Banned Book Week (Sept. 26-Oct. 2), public and school libraries have seen a significant increase in challenges and bans. Multiple calls for doxing and/or the termination of library workers due to their selection of Critical Race Theory and LGBTQIA+ related materials have been made too. As the former chair of ILA's Intellectual Freedom Committee, Sam has been called to support four separate challenges in Iowa since September 30, 2021. Two additional challenges have been filed and are pending at the date of this report. Pressures to pull All Boys Aren't Blue, Lawn Boy, and Gender Queer from Waukee Northwest High School Library on social media and at Waukee School District Board meetings have sparked national attention and a call for support from the ALA Office of Intellectual Freedom. F ormer State of Iowa Library's Children's Services Librarian, Angie Manfredi, spoke to this unsettling trend in Harper's Bazaar. Manfredi wrote, "Nationwide, public and school librarians, along with teachers, have been under constant siege from this tide of complaints and objections, often from people who have never read the books they are upset about or who are deliberately picking out-of-context passages," in her article describing the uptick in challenges. [see attached] This social phenomenon threatens the tenants of free and equity access. The ICPL leadership team has determined that an intellectual freedom awareness campaign is an apropos next step. They anticipate reporting their work to the Board.

Conservatives push for audits of school libraries latimes.com/world-nation/story/2021-11-08/texas-schools-ordered-to-investigate-books 17 2/12 An opponent of critical race theory holds up a sign during a protest May 25 outside a Washoe County School District board meeting in Reno. The decades-old academic theory focused on institutional racism is not taught in any public school. (Andy Barron / Reno Gazette-Journal ) By Molly Hennessy-FiskeHouston Bureau Chief Published Nov. 8, 2021 Updated Nov. 9, 2021 12:21 PM PT HOUSTON — During the last year, Mary Ellen Cuzela — concerned about students being indoctrinated about sex and “critical race theory” — successfully petitioned her suburban Houston school district of about 83,000 to remove two books from their libraries: the novel “Lawn Boy” by Jonathan Evison and the graphic novel “Losing the Girl” by MariNaomi. Cuzela, a mother of three who works for the district as a substitute teacher, said she was encouraged by Republican Texas lawmakers’ focus on critical race theory, an academic framework for examining systemic racism — which is not taught in any U.S. public school — that she considers “Marxist ideology” and “anti-American.” She has a list of more than a dozen more books she wants removed from schools along Houston’s rapidly growing and diversifying Energy Corridor, home to some of the world’s major oil and gas companies. 18 3/12 “I don’t want to ban books. I don’t want to be a book burner. My goodness, no,” said Cuzela, 49, whose children have attended public school for years in Katy. “I’m not into censoring. That is not what this is about. We filter students’ internet access. We have keywords, trigger words, that we know people shouldn’t have access to as a minor. So why isn’t that same process in the school libraries?” One of the books, “Lawn Boy,” refers to oral sex between boys, and the other, “Losing the Girl,” features LGBTQ characters. Liberal parents have also pushed to remove books from schools in recent years: Burbank schools last year removed the classics “To Kill a Mockingbird” and “Of Mice and Men” after parents complained their depictions of race and racism were harmful to students (they were among the top banned books nationwide last year). But the latest uproar over school libraries comes as conservatives attempt to ride a wave of “white backlash” among Trump supporters to victory in next year’s midterm election. The strategy appeared to work in the closely watched Virginia governor’s race Tuesday, where Republican newcomer Glenn Youngkin beat former Democrat Gov. Terry McAuliffe after promising to ban critical race theory in schools. Cuzela has followed the Virginia debate, adding books banned there to her list. Nationwide, lawmakers have banned critical race theory from public schools in Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. 19 4/12 Politics In Virginia’s close race for governor, Republicans take aim at Toni Morrison Virginia’s race for governor, the most hotly followed contest in the country, is a battle over culture. The GOP has focused on schools, Democrats on Trump. Book debates are fueled by social media posts and YouTube video of parents complaining at school board meetings from politically transitioning suburbs like Katy, a viral “war on books,” according to Richard Price, political science professor at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah. Price, who identifies as nonbinary, is the author of the Adventures In Censorship blog, which includes entries about “Lawn Boy” and another book often challenged recently, “Gender Queer: A Memoir” by Maia Kobabe. While school boards in Ramona and Paso Robles have banned so-called critical race theory, Price said book challenges are not as common in California as they are in red states, where viral posts spread faster as they’re picked up by right-wing bloggers and media. “‘Lawn Boy’ is a book no one heard about until a mom showed up and ranted about it at one of the Texas districts, and video of her rant circulated on YouTube. ‘Gender Queer’ is circulating the same way,” Price said (video of the mother ranting about “Lawn Boy” in the Austin suburb of Leander has been viewed more than 19,000 times and spawned similar complaints in Virginia). Price said challengers’ objections are often Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ issues, but “they dress it up as ideology.” After Texas lawmakers banned critical race theory in public schools this year, battles grew particularly heated in the conservative suburbs surrounding the state’s largest, liberal cities. Parents and groups who have spent decades fighting at the state board of education over textbook content shifted their focus to school districts, prompting petitions, protests and testy exchanges at school board meetings. In the Dallas suburb of Southlake, the school board voted to reprimand a fourth-grade teacher earlier this year for keeping an anti-racism book in her classroom after parents complained. Last month, leaked audio of an administrator in the district instructing teachers to present “opposing” views of books about the Holocaust sparked national outrage. In another Dallas suburb, a group of conservative activists, Respect Midlothian 1888, decried teachings they said support critical race theory and called for the district diversity officer’s removal. In the Fort Worth suburb of Keller, school officials removed “Gender Queer: A Memoir” from a high school library “pending investigation” after parents complained it contained graphic images. 20 5/12 In the Houston suburbs, officials with the Spring Branch school district removed “The Breakaways,” by Cathy Johnson, a graphic novel featuring a transgender character, after parents petitioned and complained that it was sexually explicit and contained “political propaganda.” On Monday, Gov. Greg Abbott sent a letter directing officials of the Texas Education Agency, state library and board of education to “develop statewide standards to ensure no child is exposed to pornography or other inappropriate content in a Texas public school.” Last week, Abbott — running for reelection against two conservative primary challengers — sent a letter to the Texas Assn. of School Boards and several state agencies demanding they investigate “pornographic” books that parents had complained about at public schools, even though the agencies lack that authority. “These parents are rightfully angry,” Abbott wrote. “… Your organization’s members have an obligation to determine the extent to which such materials exist or are used in our schools and to remove any such content.” 21 6/12 People wait in line to speak in person at a Loudoun County school board meeting in August in Ashburn, Va. Some were there to voice opposition to critical race theory. (Ricky Carioti / Washington Post) Abbott didn’t specify which books parents had complained about, and his spokeswoman didn’t respond to a request for comment. The week before, state Rep. Jeff Cason from the Dallas suburbs called for Atty. Gen. Ken Paxton — a fellow Republican facing primary challenges in the upcoming election — to investigate “the legal ramifications to school districts” of approving books that may “violate the penal code in relation to pornography.” “We as a state must protect minors from this type of criminal activity, and it should not be made available to children by the actual people that are tasked in educating them,” Cason wrote. Republican Rep. Matt Krause of Fort Worth, among those running against Paxton, sent a letter in his capacity as chair of an investigative legislative committee to several of the state’s largest school districts requesting they review a 16-page list of 850 books that he claimed potentially failed to comply with the new ban on critical race theory. In the Oct. 25 letter, 22 7/12 Krause noted that several districts had recently removed books in response to complaints from “students, parents and taxpayers” including Katy, Southlake, Spring Branch, Lake Travis and Leander. World & Nation Opponents of critical race theory seek to flip school boards In school board races around the country, activists are running against critical race theory. In addition to the list, Krause asked districts to identify any of their books that were about “human sexuality, sexually transmitted diseases, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), sexually explicit images, graphic presentations of sexual behavior that is in violation of the law or contain material that might make students feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress because of their race or sex or convey that a student, by virtue of their race or sex, is inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously.” Krause didn’t respond to requests for comment. But he told Dallas radio host Mark Davis that after lawmakers banned critical race theory, his inquiry “could be a big benefit for those school districts who are going through the inventory to say, ‘Hey, do we have something that could be in violation or do we not?’” 23 8/12 His list of questionable books included “Gender Queer,” “Lawn Boy,” “New Kid,” “The Breakaways” and “Out of Darkness,” by former Texas public school teacher Ashley Hope Pérez. We all need stories that center the perspectives and experiences of the folks who have too often been left out of the news, out of textbooks, out of history. Yes, ALL: white children need these stories, too. #txlege #Freadom pic.twitter.com/wGUUg85j9L — Ashley Hope Pérez (@ashleyhopeperez) November 4, 2021 Pérez, now an assistant professor at Ohio State University, said that as a survivor of sexual abuse, it was important to her to make her main character a survivor as well, and that the graphic passages to which critics object were part of that. She has received threats after a mother’s rant about her book in Lake Travis went viral (Jimmy Kimmel cited it, leading Pérez to post a video response) and it’s been challenged in Missouri, Texas and Virginia. “Republicans think they have found a winning issue in this, to the detriment of learners. And Democrats haven’t found a message to respond to that,” said Pérez, who is white and has two sons who are Mexican American, ages 11 and 6. “These challenges are rooted in a broader effort to undermine public education and the establishment of a more diverse and inclusive society. The message these parents are sending is, ‘I wish these people didn’t exist, and because I can’t get rid of the people, I want to get rid of the books.’ ” Pérez and Price tweeted about books on Krause’s list Thursday with the hashtags #txlege and #FReadom. Jacob’s New Dress is an amazing children’s picture book about a boy loving a new dress and living his happy life wearing it. Fighting back against a fake gender binary is always something to celebrate. #FReadom #txlege pic.twitter.com/0MHNy4PvUk — Richard Price (@AdvInCensorship) November 4, 2021 “One of the reasons I defend access so heavily is because I am ridiculously happy that kids have access to these book today,” they said. “Whereas some want to claim it’s pornography, I see it as a lifeline.” Price, who has been monitoring book challenges since 2018, said there’s anecdotal evidence that schools have become more willing to capitulate, removing “Gender Queer” from schools, sometimes without the required review. “They’re trying to appease the groups challenging these books. Usually, that doesn’t work. Once you start removing books, they come back for more.” 24 9/12 Johnson, author of “The Breakaways,” fears” a ripple effect from the larger more terrifying trend of targeting Texan transgender youth,” noting Texas state lawmakers just banned transgender girls from youth sports. “Book banning is a way to drum up media ‘debate,’ distracting the public from important facts that are not up for debate: LGBTQQIA Texans of all ages deserve the same opportunities as all other Texans. I stand in solidarity with LGBTQQIA Texans,” Johnson said. Krause gave districts until Nov. 12 to respond. He has yet to disclose which districts he sent the letter to, or the criteria he used to select the 850 books he asked them to scrutinize. Cuzela, the Katy teacher, said she was encouraged to see Texas lawmakers backing her and other conservative parents. On Monday, she emailed her local school board and superintendent to ask how they plan to respond. “I keep pressing them that we need to have a library audit,” Cuzela said. “I love that Krause is making it official, and hopefully this will put pressure on them.” Cuzela has already challenged another book in Katy schools, “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” by Jesse Andrews, and is preparing additional challenges. “My plan of action is to continue down the list. I still have my working list, not quite the list Krause had,” she said. Katy Independent School District was still reviewing Krause’s letter last week, according to spokeswoman Laura Davis. Krause’s list and letter were condemned by the Texas House Democratic Caucus, Texas House LGBTQ Caucus, and Texas Legislative Black Caucus. State Rep. Chris Turner, chair of the Democratic Caucus, called it a “fishing expedition.” Rep. Nicole Collier, an attorney from Fort Worth who chairs the Legislature’s Black Caucus, called it “a witch hunt.” Dallas Democrat Victoria Neave, vice chair of Krause’s legislative committee, dismissed the letter as “yet another attempt by Republicans to censor the voices of people of color.” Neave said she spoke with Krause and requested a copy of the letter and a list of the districts he contacted. She said that he had yet to respond, and that she saw the letter as a dangerous campaign ploy. “It’s this coordinated strategy by the Republicans to erase our history,” said Neave, who is Latina, noting that the majority of Texas students, and Texans, are minorities, while the state Legislature is overwhelmingly white and male. “They’re trying to police what books they read. It’s an overreach into our classrooms. Our schools should be focusing on educating our kids, not on wasting taxpayer dollars on researching books for one person’s political gain.” 25 10/12 Ovidia Molina, president of the Texas State Teachers Assn., which has 40,000 members in 1,200 districts statewide, said the law banning critical race theory and Krause’s letter had a chilling effect on teachers. Ben Frazier, founder of the Northside Coalition of Jacksonville, chants, “Allow teachers to teach the truth!” at a Florida Department of Education meeting in June in Jacksonville. (Bob Self / Florida Times-Union ) “They’re uncertain as to what they are allowed to do and not get in trouble,” she said. “We don’t know what will get you in trouble until you get in trouble and we have to defend you. That’s no way for educators to live.” Molina said she was pleased to see some districts “stand up and not be bullied by our state,” but that as a Salvadoran American former English as a Second Language teacher, she worried about the impact on Latino students. She noted that many of the books on Krause’s list were both about and written by minorities. “You’re not just attacking the content, but also people of color,” she said. 26 11/12 Molina said the battle over school library books might also drive Texas teachers to other states, which already pay better. Texas pays teachers an average $57,600, which is below the national average of $65,000, according to the National Education Assn. annual survey. The state’s largest school districts confirmed they had received the letter, as well as suburbs such as Garland and Mesquite. Houston, the largest district in the state and seventh-largest in the nation with nearly 200,000 students, received the letter, but officials had no comment about how they planned to respond, spokesman Luis Morales said. Keller schools planned to treat Krause’s letter as they would any public information request, a spokesman said. Some of the state’s other large districts — including Austin, Dallas and Fort Worth — refused to comply with Krause’s inquiry, spokesmen said. They said that their library catalogs were publicly searchable and that they already meet state curriculum standards for book selection. Some of the same districts defied the Texas governor’s attempts earlier this year to ban COVID -19 mask mandates. “We follow all state-approved processes for selecting new textbooks for our students. We select from state-approved lists, organize a committee of experienced educators to review options, provide an input process for the public, and then make a final selection,” Fort Worth Supt. Kent Scribner said in a statement. “… We have a process for parents to request a review of any title found in their campus library that may present a concern.” Katy schools have a similar complaint system that parent Bonnie Anderson used earlier this year after her 8-year-old twins brought home a flier about a school event featuring what she called critical race theory, a virtual event with Jerry Craft, author of “New Kid.” Anderson, 43, organized opposition through text and Telegram groups, including Cuzela. After more than 400 people petitioned, the book was temporarily removed from school libraries, and the book event rescheduled. “I don’t ban books — that’s not my thing,” Anderson said. “There’s just so much great literature out there, I just don’t understand why these books have to be there. When I send my kids to school, I want them learning reading, writing and math and not becoming indoctrinated, and it seems that’s so hard now.” Anderson said she was encouraged by the state law banning critical race theory, but that it was up to parents to hold teachers and schools accountable. “Teachers are still going to teach what they want and every once in a while they’ll get caught,” she said, but the law “helps hopefully prevent this type of teaching by teachers who want to bring division into the classroom.” 27 12/12 Molly Hennessy-Fiske Molly Hennessy-Fiske has been a staff writer since 2006 in Washington, Los Angeles, Texas and overseas.

Here's How You Can Help harpersbazaar.com/culture/features/a38161583/how-to-fight-for-the-freedom-to-read/ Every product on this page was chosen by a Harper's BAZAAR editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. Former librarian Angie Manfredi on the freedom to read and what you can do to support your local libraries from encroaching censorship. By Angie Manfredi Nov 4, 2021 29 2/4 Europa Press NewsGetty Images As the results for the Virginia governor’s race began to filter in this past Tuesday, it seemed clear that Republican Glenn Youngkin was going to pull off a narrow victory, defeating Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe. There are plenty of hot-button discourse topics about this race that will no doubt be rehashed endlessly, but as a librarian, I believed that I knew what had really gotten people clutching their pearls and pouring into polling places: books. Youngkin’s campaign got a lot of traction from one of the oldest of techniques: scaring white suburban parents about the books their children might be reading. But no educators or librarians I know were surprised. For months now, there has been building pressure from right-wing groups like No Left Turn in Education who have been setting up adults to go after books and even displays in public and school libraries. In Utah, Utah State Board of Education member Natalie Cline received a reprimand from the board for her continued incitement of what they classified as “hate speech,” which only encouraged supporters to increase threats and Cline to continue posting, including going so far as to say that a local library was engaging in “grooming” for having a Pride display up. In Wyoming, a complaint to the sheriff’s department from a local church about books with queer content prompted local prosecutors to review the case. And these are just a few examples. There are many more. Nationwide, public and school librarians have been under constant siege 30 3/4 These efforts aren’t just limited to red states; this is a nationwide movement, and it’s only growing. Giant conservative think tanks like the Manhattan Institute and PragerU have toolkits and video libraries all ready to go with information about how parents can “stand up” to their school boards and libraries. Nationwide, public and school librarians, along with teachers, have been under constant siege from this tide of complaints and objections, often from people who have never read the books they are upset about or who are deliberately picking out-of-context passages. Librarians and educators who have not received formal challenges are aware they could come at any time and face other kinds of indirect harassment, from angry emails to books that “go missing” from shelves. The fact is, it’s an incredibly draining and hostile time to be working in an education field and in public libraries. Teachers and librarians, exhausted from often working public-facing positions during the pandemic, have watched as backlash against sensible public health measures like masks and vaccines have mutated into full-on attacks on their professionalism and their collections, which have been curated for allchildren. Let as many people know that you value a library full of material that supports diversity Which is why now is the time that you can do something to help your local public library and schools. If they are not currently under attack and pressure from the forces I have outlined here, you can be assured that they are aware of them and might even be anxious about them. You can do something to counter this rising tide of uninformed efforts to remove materials and displays. First, if you are not already a user of your local public library, now is the time to get yourself a card. Your public library definitely has more to offer than you remember, and staff can’t wait to tell you all about it. If you already use your public library, even infrequently, your next steps should be to reach out and ask your library staff what they need, especially when it comes to pushing back on challenges. Staff might tell you that what they need most is someone to volunteer in the Friends of the Library bookstore or that, perhaps, there’s a spot on the library board they need someone to run for. They might tell you that they haven’t had any challenges yet, but they appreciate your support and attention. You can also ask to see your library’s collection development policy. This is the document, created by library staff, that should guide their purchasing selections and tell you more about how the collection is maintained and defended from threats. This is public information, and you can become familiar with and use it to defend your library’s collection. Once you’ve done this, the next thing you can do is put into writing how you support and appreciate the library’s commitments to intellectual freedom, diverse collections, and everyone’s right to read. Not sure who to send this letter to? You can start with the library director—their contact information should be easy to locate on your library’s homepage—but you can go further than that. Send it to your city council, your mayor, the manager of the 31 4/4 department that oversees the library. Let as many people in charge in your community know that you appreciate and value a library full of material and programming that support the diversity of your community and the world. Send that letter to your local news source. The value of libraries can often feel like an intangible thing You can do something else too. Make use of our resources: Check out the books on display; use our e-books and databases and newspaper subscriptions; come to our programs. Then, you really will be able to talk to your fellow community members and the stakeholders and funders who make your library’s operations possible about the great community benefit their work is. This use also signals that these are resources wanted, needed, and valued by the community, from queer books to inclusive programming. The value of libraries can often feel like an intangible thing, the sort of thing people wax rhapsodic about. But what we, as librarians, need you, as community members, to name and show up for are the tangiblebenefits of having a library that supports queer teens and Black kids and people without enough money to have good broadband at home, and everyone else who wants and needs to use our services. We need you to say, on record, over and over, that you support libraries as vital spaces in your community worth funding and protecting from forces that would attempt to stifle our work and progress, gradual as it may sometimes be. It’s important for you to know that libraries are not perfect, beyond critique bastions of freedom for all. School and public libraries are plagued by all the same issues of white supremacy, homophobia, and other prejudices that impact any institution or system. All too often, libraries enforce and uphold systems of oppression, including against their own marginalized staff members. I am sharing this with you so that you do not come away from this with an idealized idea of what libraries are or how simple it will be to push back against this. There is work to be done internally at libraries, and there is work to be done by you, the public, who wants to support us and ensure that we are doing the most we can for the most members of our community. Know what your library is offering in collections and programs. Show up not just for library staff but for your whole community by voicing your support. It will not always be easy work and you will not always succeed, but more than ever, it is work that needs to be done. Librarians and educators ask you now to join us.

We replaced the Staff Room refrigerators last summer, so the space feels updated, clean, and comfortable. I am so pleased to be able to offer our hardworking staff an improved area for meals and breaks; the change was overdue and needed. We moved some of the seating from the Gallery into the Children’s Room, and replaced it with new seating that gives a visual upgrade to the Gallery, offers easier access to electrical plugs, and more individual work surfaces for patrons to use. I encourage you to check these spaces out next time you visit the building. Legislator’s Reception This year’s Legislator’s Reception will be focused on the theme “Moving Forward, Increasing Access.” Johnson County Libraries will share the ways they are emerging after COVID closures and removing barriers to access for our in-person and virtual patrons. The reception will be held via Zoom at 5.30 on Tuesday, December 7th. Formal invitations will follow. ICPL Board Recognition Dinner Update Based on the most recent Johnson County Public Health Event Guidance (attached to this report for reference), I suggest we wait to make plans for the Board Dinner until our community is no longer at high transmission levels for COVID-19. This might feel overly conservative, since we meet monthly face-to-face, but since the Board Dinner generally includes food, beverages, and the presence of partners, I think the event will be more enjoyable if we continue to postpone for the time being. ICPL Staff Inservice Day Last week, Anne Mangano sent trustees an invitation and agenda for the upcoming Staff Inservice Day. Please feel welcome to attend this event; it is an opportunity to interact with ICPL staff, learn new things, and celebrate achievements. For newer trustees, know that you can come and go as you need to during the day—you do not have to commit to the whole agenda—and are welcome to fully participate in the sessions that interest you. We hope to see you there! Ped Mall Step Update I am working with City staff in numerous departments in preparation of writing a report on the status of physical changes to the step outside the library and areas around it. At this point, the Engineering Department anticipates preparing plans and specs and bidding the project this winter with construction commencing in the spring. More details will be included in the December Board Packet. 33 Staff Training with Terry Whitson We have completed staff focus groups with trainer Terry Whitson, and she is currently working on analyzing staff input and preparing for her presentation at Staff Inservice Day. I am grateful to staff for engaging in this training and working with Ms. Whitson and I am very eager to work as a larger group to develop next steps in becoming the library our community needs post-COVID closure. Respectfully submitted, Elsworth Carman 34 35 36 37 Development Office Report Prepared for the Board of Trustees Iowa City Public Library by Patty McCarthy, Director of Development November 18, 2021 Please Give on Giving Tuesday 11/30 The Tuesday after Thanksgiving has become Giving Tuesday - a global day of generosity to support nonprofit organizations. This year, it’s on November 30, 2021. You’re invited to give a financial contribution to the ICPL Friends Foundation to benefit the Iowa City Public Library on Giving Tuesday. It’s easy to give online then - or anytime - by clicking on the green donate image here. Or click on the same green donate button when you are on the library’s website. We’ll appreciate you for inviting your friends to support the ICPL on Giving Tuesday too. Your personal story as a Trustee who knows the positive impact that donations make on the Library will inspire others to follow your lead in giving. Recent examples of the difference made by gifts include  the ability to mail materials to patrons for many months when the library building was closed to the public at the beginning of the pandemic; and  and being able to quickly purchase hundreds more online books to be borrowed when we were all encouraged to limit interactions. Besides feeling great about giving to make a difference for many people, there’s a financial incentive to giving to nonprofit organizations including the ICPL Friends Foundation in 2021. Everyone, including non- itemizers, is eligible for a federal income tax deduction for cash gifts of up to $300. That special provision of the CARES Act which began last year and continues this year. Thank you for giving as generously as you can! ICPL Window Newsletter The impact of the ICPL Friends Foundation is the focus of the winter edition of the library’s print newsletter, the Window. If you live in Iowa City, you should receive a copy of it around December 9. It will include articles about a three-generation family of library friends, a super Development Office volunteer, letters from Catherine Erickson and Elsworth Carman to thank donors and ask them to support the ICPL Friends Foundation again, a list of donors in Fiscal Year 2021 (July 1, 2020 – June 30, 2021), and examples of library services made possible due to the generous gifts to the ICPLFF.

Upon further investigating and developing this idea, it was clear that the majority of our patrons visited our website to use the library catalog. Because of its importance, one of the largest virtual branch projects was to develop and improve a single way to search library collections. Our older catalog, CatalogPro (a.k.a. Encore), was purchased and introduced to the public in 2008. At the time of implementation, it was considered a Web 2.0 technology that improved patron authentication, allowed for federated searching, applied facets to results, and offered a single-box keyword search. Another benefit of Encore was that it seamlessly worked with our integrated-library system, Millennium (now Sierra) as both were products of Innovative Interface and built to work together. Since its implementation, Encore has served us relatively well. But it is a product of its time. As digital collections and patron expectations evolve, it was clear that Encore no longer served our needs. eBook and digital audiobook through Overdrive integration was clunky. New and improved features in searching and account information were slow to develop. The patron interface was a stark contrast to our evolving website. During our catalog investigations, Innovative announced that it was no longer developing the catalog software and was moving to create its next generation of catalogs. In determining how to proceed, a catalog committee was created with representatives from each department. We explored a couple of avenues: purchasing a different catalog, adopting an open-source option, or staying the course with Encore. After weighing the arguments for and against each option, from a road ready vendor option to having more control over design and features, we decided to develop an open-source software using VuFind. Why VuFind? VuFind has an institutional home at Villanova University with one person who oversees the project (as opposed to being completely decentralized as some open source projects are). Even so, anyone is encouraged to make suggestions and developers are encouraged to submit code changes (called "pull requests" in the jargon). For example, ICPL has contributed the Overdrive integration module which has been folded into the project. The VuFind project has lots of development and a very active group. It follows a regular update release schedule and has even been sponsoring a virtual conference in recent years. There is an 39 active email list and you can get a response back often within the hour which we have taken advantage of many times. The open-source software is used by the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library (Virginia), and the Allegheny County Library Association/Carnegie Library of Pittsburg. VuFind comes with a connector for Sierra which means that we could essentially start with a fully functioning product and begin modifying from there. From an early stage the project was rewritten to make it more extensible and modular so that users could build off the main project and make their own modifications both function and interface-related. We did find that learning how to do this was a steeper learning curve than we thought. Examples of local modifications include adding a "staff view," interlibrary loan checkouts, Overdrive integration, and of course lots of style and layout changes. Our new catalog and the Integrated Library System 40 Although we opted for the more patron-friendly designation of catalog, these interfaces are now generally referred to as “discovery layers”. They are able to bring together different types of resources both physical and digital into one interface without having to import them all into the core of the ILS. The image above shows the relationship of our new discovery layer to the rest of the Integrated Library System (ILS). Custom applications developed by ICPL are in green. Some examples of third-party services and products are in purple. The boundaries of what is considered part of the ILS are fuzzy and probably would depend on the situation and who you are talking to. Our New Catalog After several rounds of staff and patron testing, our new catalog was launched on Tuesday, October 26th. Some new features we are proud of include: • At-a-glance account information • Stronger spell check • Seamless eBook and digital audiobook checkouts • Saved searches • Better cover images • Mobile-friendly design • More browsing options The design and development of the catalog focused on accessibility and user experience. Our next steps are to determine a roadmap of what elements and new features to prioritize. With our own staff expertise and VuFind’s flexibility as an open-source software, we are able to cater to the needs of our own users and make changes based on how patrons use our catalog. Go to search.icpl.org to try our new catalog. 41 Save the Date for Inservice Day: Friday, December 10th, 2021, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Prepared for the November 18, 2021 meeting of the Iowa City Public Library Board of Trustees Anne Mangano, Collection Services Coordinator Angie Pilkington, Children’s Services Coordinator You are invited to join ICPL staff at our annual Inservice Day on Friday, December 10th. The purpose of Inservice Day is to provide an opportunity for all ICPL staff to engage with new ideas and with each other as well as recognize significant anniversary milestones of our colleagues. Because all of our staff attends Inservice Day, the Library is closed for the day. An agenda of the day is included. This year, we will be looking a little more inward as an organization. In the morning, we will hear a presentation from Terry Whitson, a training and development consultant, who will talk about how to approach workplace culture and communication after the disruption of COVID closures and coming back from reduced services. To carry on a theme of renewal and resiliency into the afternoon, we will look at some of our processes and procedures from working through emergencies to responding to patron behavioral issues. To close the day, we have four concurrent sessions: • Library Accounts at ICPL • Managing Digital Collections @ ICPL • Getting Started with hoopla • Microsoft Teams Tips and Tricks We will spend most of the day at The Graduate Hotel in the Wayne Ballroom. The Graduate Hotel is located right on the Ped Mall and their ballroom is on the lower level. We will return to the library in the later part of the afternoon for a round of concurrent sessions.

Chris Ackman from the Hawkeye Area Community Action Program said that the program is anticipating a busy season with its heat assistance program. Meg Doster, News Reporter The Hawkeye Area Community Action Program, an eastern Iowa organization with the goal of community improvement, is preparing for a busy winter season. Winter is right around the corner, and along with it will likely come a steep rise in heating costs. “We are anticipating a busier season,” said Chris Ackman, communications and volunteer manager for the Hawkeye Area Community Action Program. “There’s been a lot of talk in a lot of stories about potential prices rising for heat and gas.” MidAmerican Energy, the biggest utility company in Iowa City, announced on Oct. 12 that its customers’ heating bills would be going up, citing that natural gas prices have doubled in the past year. Hawkeye Area Community Action Program has an annual heating assistance program that starts on Oct. 1 for the elderly people and people with disabilities, and then heating assistance for the wintertime beginning on Nov. 1. The Hawkeye Area Community Action Program denes the winter season from November to April, the program’s website said. Ackman said that the heating assistance program doesn’t get many applicants in November and December. “When we really get to January and February, that’s when we can see temperatures drop below freezing,” Ackman said. “That’s where families or individuals who may have not had a really big need for heating assistance realize that they could benet from it and that’s when they sign up.” RELATED: DITV: How to prepare for severe weather – The Daily Iowan According to the Hawkeye Area Community Action Program, 10,094 people applied for energy assistance for the 2020-21 winter season. The average amount spent on households in that time was $465. The Iowa City government has a program that helps Iowa City residents pay off their utility bills, but heating bills are not included. MidAmerican Energy Company is seen in Iowa City on Monday, Nov. 1, 2021. 45 “Our discount program is strictly for our city of Iowa City utility bills, which would be water, sewer, and garbage,” said Melissa Miller, the revenue and risk manager for the city of Iowa City. Public libraries often allow people to come inside to warm up free of charge. The Iowa City government does not help with heating bills, but the Iowa City Public Library has programs in place to help people seeking shelter from the cold. “We have served as a warming station,” said Sam Helmick, the Iowa City Public Library community and access services coordinator. “We’ve opened our doors a little earlier in order for folks to obtain warm cocoa and have Wi-Fi and electricity and heat access.” Last year, the Iowa City Public Library was not open as a warming station for the public because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but it still provided aid to places that were open. Helmick said that whether the library will once again be used as a warming station for this year is still being determined. Helmick said that there is no one type of person or demographic that the Iowa City Public Library has served in the past when it comes to warming stations. “That’s the thing about any sort of natural phenomenon, is that it really is a great equalizer,” Helmick said. “It’s a community issue, and so we see about everybody.” 46 Iowa City Public Library launches new online catalog The Iowa City Public Library has launched a new online catalog. The new catalog, now live, oers several enhancements to provide a tailored search experience to library patrons. Library sta used patron feedback to build the catalog and created one of the few in-house catalogs in the nation. “We are excited to introduce the new catalog after a long journey to tailor the search experience to the community’s interests and needs. Our goal is to continue to enhance the ways the community accesses their Library collection,” said Sam Helmick, Community & Access Services Coordinator. The new Library catalog provides better spell-checking features; friendlier navigation; simpler transitions between the catalog and digital books; mobile-friendly design; a better “hold” system to reserve materials; and improved account features. The new catalog is accessible at search.icpl.org The Library will host a Zoom presentation at https://www.icpl.org/events/39782/get-know-our-new-catalog on Thursday at 2 p.m. to introduce the new catalog and to share search tips. Both the old and new catalogs will be accessible on ICPL's website through Jan. 6, 2022. During this transition period, sta will continue to improve the new catalog to make the library's collections more accessible to nd, reserve and borrow. Sta encourages patrons to try the new catalog and ll out the feedback form to share their thoughts. Patrons also may call (319) 356-5200 or go to icpl.org/ask for assistance. Nov. 1, 2021 6:00 am (Iowa City Public Library) AROUND THE WEB Ads by Revcontent These Are the Top Financial Advisors in Iowa City SmartAsset 47 BOARD OF TRUSTEES Minutes of the Recorded Regular Meeting October 28 2021 DRAFT Members Present: Tom Rocklin, Derek Johnk, Noa Kim, Robin Paetzold, Hannah Shultz, Dan Stevenson Members Absent: Carol Kirsch, Daniel Keranen Staff/Others Present: Elsworth Carman, Melody Dworak, Natalie Holmes, Anne Mangano, Patty McCarthy, Brent Palmer, Jason Paulios, Angie Pilkington, Amanda Ray, Bowland Gibson, Doyle Landry Call Meeting to Order: Vice President Rocklin called the meeting to order at 5:02 p.m. in the absence of President Kirsch. A quorum was present. Public Discussion: Doyle Landry said he is concerned about the achievement gap for African American young men in the Iowa City school district. He grew up in Chicago participating in library programs and encourages ICPL to develop programs to help African American young men be successful. He complimented ICPL on adding the Teen Center and introduced Bowland Gibson as a fellow University of Iowa graduate who could be a connector to effective hip-hop programs with well-known musicians whom they know. Landry and Bowland left the meeting at 5:13 p.m. Approval of October 28, 2021 Board Meeting Agenda Paetzold made the motion to approve the agenda, Johnk approved. Motion carried. Items to be discussed: FY23 Budget Discussion - Budget in Brief Comment: This is a regularly scheduled agenda item. Board action required. Carman distributed a corrected document of the Budget in Brief. He said this is closer to a traditional budget from before the COVID closure and is relatively conservative, due to the continuing financial impacts of COVID. Paetzold asked why only expenditures are given and not income. Carmen responded that those numbers come from the city at a later point after our request is submitted. Mangano said the finalized budget comes 48 from the city around March. Rocklin asked that in future another column of dollar amounts with the percentage increase or decrease would be helpful. Derek Johnk made the motion to approve the budget in brief as written. Hannah Shultz seconded. Motion carried. 1st Quarter Statistics and Financials Comment: This is a regularly scheduled agenda item. Board action not required. Carman notes that these numbers are bouncing back to the more normal numbers of before the pandemic. Rocklin asked about the pattern throughout the year for collections purchasing. Mangano said that spring and fall are big times for orders because more is usually published then, but, due to supply issues and paper shortages things could change. Carman added that the Library may ask for an amendment as supply situations get figured out, as books are critical to our operations. Natural gas price increases were discussed. Policy Review: 103 Membership in Community & Professional Organizations Comment: This is a regularly scheduled agenda item. Board action required. Johnk made the motion to approve policy as written. Stevenson seconded. Motion carried. Art Advisory Committee Nominations (Policy 808) Comment: This is a regularly scheduled agenda item when vacancies need to be filled. Board action required. Johnk made the motion to approve the nominations. Shultz seconded. Members thanked those who serve on the Committee. Motion carried. 1st Quarter Strategic Plan Update Comment: This is a regularly scheduled agenda item. Board action not required. Carman said this is the first quarterly update in response to the Board’s request for more than semi-annual updates. Johnk asked about Bookmobile activity, Pilkington said every scheduled stop is assessed. The evaluation includes how many people use the service. It may take more than a few months for a neighborhood to learn about a new stop and engage with the Bookmobile. Carman said not all know how to approach the Bookmobile and know how it works and it can be a new experience. Paetzold asked if interpreter services are needed to help bridge that gap. Pilkington said Raquel in Children’s uses her Spanish skills. Options for broadening the use of translation services was discussed. 1st Quarter Fine Free Update Comment: This is a regularly scheduled agenda item. Board action not required. The Board acknowledged that we don’t have enough data yet, and would like more mindful discussion towards going Fine Free. Paetzold asked if a heat map could be created to show the usage change from areas that have been affected by going fine free in the Children’s area. HB389 Impacts on Bookmobile Comment: Memo and House Bill 389 included for Board review and discussion. Board action not required. Carman said that the Library has said previously that staff have been trained and licensed, but now that metric needs to change and we may develop a training program for Bookmobile and use City training facilities. 49 Staff Reports: Director’s Report – The biggest thing the library is watching right now is the natural gas price increase, as the building uses natural gas year-round in the HVAC system. COVID take home test kits have been moving pretty quickly. The Board requested a report on progress related to the Ped Mall step repairs at the next meeting. Department Reports: Children’s Services – Pilkington provided a report, and noted that roller skating was the first of our post COVID-closure in-person programs. Collection Services – Mangano provided a report. Information Technology – Palmer provided a report and gave an update on the catalog outage from a few weeks ago. They made a change to database certifications to every two years, noting that it’s expensive but worth it. Carman added that our new catalog is a big deal and that many libraries our size don’t have that. Development Office – McCarthy provided a report and gave an update that the next Friends Foundation board meeting is on November 9. Miscellaneous: Paetzold said there is an opening on the Board, and to encourage people to apply. Previous applicants will be contacted by the City Clerk to be put back in the pool unless they opt out. President’s Report: Rocklin read a brief report from Kirsch who is absent. Kellee Forkenbrock resigned October 6th, leading to the current vacancy on the Board. In November a three- member committee will be formed to evaluate the director in February. The Board picture will be taken at the beginning of the November meeting. Rocklin reminded everyone that the November and December meetings will be a week earlier due to holidays. Announcements from Members: Nothing to report. Committee Reports: Nothing to report. Communications: Included in the packet. Consent Agenda: Johnk made the motion to approve the consent agenda as written. Kim seconded. Motion carried. Set Agenda for November Meeting: Appoint Committee to Evaluate Director Board Recognition Dinner Policy Review 813: Unattended Children Policy Review 817: Alcohol in the Library 50 Department Reports:
