Issues: The Programming Policy serves as a guide to library staff that plan and carry out public events. The Library regularly receives program collaboration requests and commercial event solicitations, this document establishes the criteria for how we manage programming efforts. The Committee reviewed other public library programming policies to compare and discussed potential gaps and reviewed current language with an emphasis on clarity. Committee Recommendations: The biggest change the committee recommends is to merge the sections related to age differences as they felt there was substantial duplication from the introduction (702 .1) and compared with one another (702 .2-702.4). They kept language emphasizing frequency and consistency to ensure that stakeholders understood programming is a core piece of Library operations. There is a fair amount of overlap in the philosophy of selecting and selecting what program topic the library might address . The committee looked at sections of our Collection Development Policy (601) and adopted similar language (see: new 702 .2 -responsibility, new 702 .8 -gifts, and new 702.9 -ALA acknowledgement and references). A specific call out of the ALA interpretations is useful as many have details we're unable to address in our more succinct attempts at policies (e .g . "Library-Initiated Programs and Displays"). There was a discussion about the definition of the word "proscribe" which ultimately led to modifying the word for general clarity. There was also adoption of language from other example library policies related to clarification of library endorsement of program content. (Related Reorder based on policy number, add Confidentiality (802) and Library Use (809) Policies) 702.1 Add values/goals to strengthen purpose statement. Remove comma. Modify language to be more specific of intention (community engagement), capability (eliminating vs . addressing), and brevity. 702.2 rev. Add section on staff roles 702.2-702.4 Condense prior age groupings in new 702.3, remove specific topics as already covered in 702.1. 702.7 Modify language, include new language clarifying Library position on content. 702.8 Remove 'program'. 702.8 rev . Add paragraph to explain library gifts related to programming. 702.9 rev . Add paragraph endorsing ideas from ALA Library Bill of Rights and interpretations. Agenda Item 4A-2 5 Action: Review policy and adopt as amended. ~~IOWACITY I"'~ PUBLIC LIBRARY Prepared by: Angela Pilkington, Children's Coordinator and Jason Paulios, Adult Coordinator. Anne Wilmoth, Beth Fisher, Casey Maynard, Mari Redington, Stacey McKim, Victoria Fernandez served as committee members. Agenda Item 4A-3 6 ~~IOWACITY ,~ PUBLIC LIBRARY 702 Library Programming Policy See also related policies: Confidentiality (802), Recording and Streaming (703), Outreach (706),_ Confidentiality (802). -Meeting Room and Lobby Use (806), Library Use (809). and Copyright (814). 702.1 702.2 702.-2.3. 702.3 702.4 The purpose of Library programs at the Iowa City Public Library and in the community is to fulfill the Library's mission . values. and strategic goals. Programs will includ e, lectures, discussions, classes, workshops, presentations, and performances that promote life-long learning and Library use; enhance cultural and leisure activities; champion the principle of intellectual freedom; encourage community engagementbenefit the community; and foster an enduring connection to the Library. Programs will be developed to address eliminate racial, social, accessibility, and equity barriers in library programming by facilitating connections with underserved areas of the community and implementing diversity, equity, and inclusion strategies. Under the direction of the Adult Services and Children's Services Coordinators, responsibility for program development lies with library staff who apply professional knowledge. experience. and this policy in making decisions. Ultimate responsibility for program development lies with the Director. Library programs for children are a priority and focus on stimulating development of the intellectual and social abilities of young children. Children's programming emphasizes literature, language, reading, creativity, and the encouragement of effective social skills. Programming may also incorporate STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) activities. Programming is offered on a frequent and regular basis at the Library. off-site locations. and may be streamed online via the Library Channelfor in house, outreach, and streaming to the Library Channel and ·web audiences . The Library will plan unique programs to augment and enhance community events and to attract new audiences. Library programs for teens focus on literature, language, reading, technology, current interests, and creativity. The Library will plan unique programs to augment and enhance community events and to attract nevoi audiences. Library programs for adults focus on promoting reading and life long learning; informing the community about Library collections and services; improving information and digital literacy; preserving and teaching local history and genealogy; and co•vering issues of current local and global interest. The Library plans unique programs to augment and enhance community Agenda Item 4A-4 7 702.~ 702.6.S. 702.-7-~ 702.SZ 702.8 702.9 events and to attract ne·w audiences . ~~IOWACITY r~ PUBLIC LIBRARY Library programs do not duplicate programs offered within the community unless they support the Library's strategic plan, there is sufficient local interest, or library resources are available to support duplication. All Library programs may appear streaming on The Library Channel, Library website, the Internet, and other media. The Library does not prohibit proscribe or cancel a program solely because an individual or group may find the content objectionable. Library sponsorship of a program does not constitute an endorsement of the content of the program or the views expressed by participants. The Library co-sponsors programs with other City departments, governmental agencies, community organizations, and businesses when they are compatible with the Library's program goals and priorities. Co-sponsored programs must include participation by Library staff to plan program content, provide logistical support, or include information about Library collections relevant to the program . Co-sponsorship and collaboration decisions are made on the basis of mutual needs and equitable benefits between the Library and potential partners, as well as available library resources. Programs are designed to be informative learning opportunities, not a vehicle for commercial ventures. The Friends Foundation manages all financial gifts that support programming at the Iowa City Public Library. Although gifts are not accepted with stipulations, Library staff will consider the interests of the donors in determining how to use monetary gifts. The Library subscribes to the principles embodied in the Library Bill of Rights and its interpretations as adopted by the American Library Association.

The furniture vendor we are working with did a site visit on Thursday, March 21, and will be following up with pricing and options for replacing just the top of the table and for a full table replacement. I am disappointed that we need to replace the table, but confident we will still complete the project either within the budget or with minimal overage. Johnson County Board of Supervisors Library Update Trustee Robin Paetzold and I presented an ICPL update to the Johnson County Board of Supervisors on Wednesday, March 13th. We provided information about the library's budget, impacts of recent legislation, our strategic plan, and ways we collaborate with other Johnson County libraries. It was great to do an in- person update to this group. Big thanks to Robin for joining me as the rural Johnson County representative on the board . National Library Week National Library Week is April 7th-13th and we look forward to celebrating with the community and staff. Special days of note during the week include National Library Workers Day (April 9), during which we recognize our amazing staff, and Take Action for Libraries Day (April 11 ), which focuses on advocating for libraries through communication with members of Congress . Book Bike Summer Schedule Development As we approach our first summer with the !CPL/Climate Action & Outreach Book Bike , I am working with Climate Action staff to design a schedule for the bike that amplifies the work of our departments. As a complement to our outreach and promotional tools, the Book Bike offers opportunities for mobile marketing and strategic service delivery (like library card registration and targeted material distribution), and it will be fun to engage with the community in a new way. MidAmerican Repairs/Temporary Closure of Book Returns and Library Parking On Thursday, March 21, MidAmerican Energy temporarily blocked South Linn Street in front of the library building, making the book returns and library parking unavailable to patrons. We communicated the service reduction through a press release and on social media and the library's website. Crews were finished with work by early morning on the 22nd, and the book returns and parking were fully accessible well before opening. Upcoming Leave I am planning to be on medical leave for two weeks at the end of April and beginning of May, including the week of the regular April board meeting. I will work with the leadership team to ensure coverage for all Agenda Item 5A-2 10 ~~IOWACIN I"'~ PUBLIC LIBRARY critical duties and communicate details of my leave as appropriate to all library staff, City staff, and trustees. Public Library Association Conference Five ICPL staff members will be attending the PLA Conference in Columbus, Ohio, the first week in April.

Digital Media Lab on Tour Stacey and I met with Jen from the Cedar Rapids Public Library about their Maker and Technology Fest happening, Saturday, April 13 th at the Downtown Library in Cedar Rapids . We learned about what is offered at the two Cedar Rapids Maker Spaces and how our Digital Media Lab can complement their offerings. This will be a terrific collaboration between the two largest corridor libraries, Stacey and Charlie will be helping at the Fest and demonstrating the free tools offered at the ICPL DML. We're excited to see what folks create!

We've orroched links in our news scary with more derails. Iowa City -Locals in Iowa City celebrated Black History Month at the Sunday Funday event at the Iowa City Public Library. That event was one of many that are happening at the library to celebrate some of the iconic figures of African American culture. On Sunday, they made arts and crafts to honor artist, Ashley Bryan. He's known for doing illustrations for several books, including: Sail Away All things bright and beautiful Blooming Beneath the Sun Those crafts were inspired by Bryan's children's book, Beautiful Blackbird, which was about appreciating your heritage and discovering the beauty within. Iowa's News Now spoke with Henriette Viner, who lives in Iowa City, to talk about what brought her to the Sunday Funday event in Iowa City. "We came to look at books and we did the crafts," said Viner. "It was about Beautiful Black Bird. Iowa's News Now spoke with Cara Viner, who lives in Iowa City, Sunday to talk about why she brought her family to the Sunday Funday event. "I think Black History Month is really important so that we learn about everyone's history and equality and justice for all," said Viner. "And, I want my girls to celebrate diversity and representation." If you weren't able to make it, the library will be hosting another Sunday Funday event on Sunday, February 25th. to honor modern artist, Howardena Pindell.

LJ invited candidates Sam Helmick, community and access services coordinator at Iowa City Public Library; and Ray Pun, academic and research librarian at the Alder Graduate School of Education, Redwood City, CA, to weigh in on some key issues. Helmick, a current member of the ALA Executive Board, is president of the Iowa Library Association. They previously served as chair-elect on the Freedom to Read Foundation and chair of the Iowa Governor's Commission of Libraries, as well as serving on committees for the Network of the National Library of Medicine, Stonewall Book Awards, ALA Policy Monitoring Committee, Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) Michael L. Printz Committee, Reference and User Services Association (RUSA) Sophie Brody Award Committee, and the YALSA Fundraising Task Force. Pun currently serves as immediate past president of the Chinese American Librarians Association (CALA) and was past president of the Asian/Pacific American Librarians Association (AP ALA), in addition to serving on ALA Council, ALA Policy Corps, and as a member of the advisory committees for two ALA past presidents. He is a member of the American Association of School Librarians (AASL), the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC), and the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL). Further information about the candidates and other items on the ballot can be found on ALA's Election Information page . LJ: What would your presidential priorities be if elected? Ray Pun: We are seeing emerging and ongoing issues affecting our colleagues and libraries simultaneously. These matters include book bans, generative artificial intelligence, climate crises, surveillance, digital content price gouging, job burnout, workplace safety, and more. These issues also bring us together in community and solidarity. As ALA President, I have three priorities building on what we are seeing today and what leaders have been working on : Support and showcase library workers as they confront unprecedented challenges and conditions Build stronger working relationships between ALA and its chapters and affiliates Expand ALA's engagement in the international library community I see an opportunity for us to gather and tell our stories nationally to the general public on how we confront these challenges and conditions affecting libraries, library workers, and communities. What are our "hidden" Agenda Item 5D-4 18 ~~IOWACITY I'~ PUBLIC LIBRARY superpowers in combating these issues for and with our communities? Sharing our "brief but spectacular stories" as best practices can inspire others to act and address these issues in their communities. We need to highlight how our work in libraries transforms lives for the better. Second, I strive to build a stronger working relationship between ALA, ALA organizational and individual members, state and regional chapters, and affiliates. We want to ensure that communications are open across the ALA ecosystem, especially regarding timely issues affecting libraries and library workers that require advocacy engagement (e .g., contacting state/federal legislators) and to share ALA resources like the Unite Against Book Bans Campaign Action Toolkit to support library workers and advocates. I see an opportunity for us to highlight the benefits of being organizational members through gathering data from State Chapters and organizational members to tell community stories that demonstrate ALA's impact in advocating for funds from IMLS, LSTA, or partnerships. It would be a great way to highlight and share these efforts across the ALA ecosystem. Finally, I aim to increase ALA's engagement with the international library community. Based on my experiences working abroad and serving in the ALA International Relations Round Table (IRRT), REFORMA's International Relations Committee, and the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), I see opportunities to engage ALA's work globally by hosting virtual orientations and programming in partnership with other groups and in regional/local languages of interest (e .g., Spanish, French, Arabic, Mandarin-Chinese, etc.). In my past work as the ACRL Convener for International Perspectives on Academic and Research Libraries Discussion Group (2018-20), I invited academic library workers from Egypt to Vanuatu to present their projects, challenges, and trends to the LIS community. We can continue these collaborative programming efforts to promote ALA's work and to engage with international and prospective members. Sam Helmick:This week library advocates defeated a bill which would have eliminated all codified funding for public libraries in my state and close several small and rural libraries serving marginalized and vulnerable populations. Iowa library workers galvanized to ensure state legislators heard from us-through media coverage, phone calls, emails (thank you, ALA, for access to One Click Politics), and an advocacy training for over 700 library trustees across the state. The subcommittee canceled their hearing. The legislators listened to us . They choose to table that bill! My experience activating affinity groups in media, law, social justice, and community action launched a campaign that made this happen. I want to bring those skills and experience to the role of ALA President. We know our ALA chapters are doing tremendous work right now on the ground responding to book challenges, threats to the safety of library workers, personal attacks, and legislation aimed at dismantling libraries. I know firsthand that these struggles require grassroots organization and mobilization. Strengthening ALA chapters is THE priority of my presidency. By directing resources to ALA's Chapter Relations Office, we can increase training for chapter leaders and ALA members on media relations, power mapping, and advocacy campaigns. We can create more opportunities like the December 2023 ALA Chapter Advocacy Bootcamp to include our affiliates, committees, round tables, and divisions to learn together, raise awareness, and enhance access to the existing resources that ALA provides. This work must be inclusive and intersectional. We do this work together and ALA provides us with the tools, resources, and opportunities to do it. This is a challenging time for ALA. How do you plan to help support the association during your presidency? SH: As a knowledge expert on First Amendment, privacy, and access policies, I work closely with school boards, public libraries, major library systems, advocacy groups, and fellow professionals to uphold the principles of intellectual freedom, storytelling, and story sharing . We know that Black, Indigenous, and Agenda Item 5D-5 19 ~~IOWACITY ,~ PUBLIC LIBRARY People of Color [BIPOC]-as well as LGBTQIA+-representation in education and libraries is crucial to learning, belonging, and our very right to exist. Any conversation about intellectual freedom, any discourse regarding the future of our association and professional field, must be intersectional and include the people whose stories, identities, and safety are under attack. It is essential that we play "joyful offense" against unmitigated censorship, mischaracterization, and private competition to provide information access by sharing our stories. By taking a proactive approach to promote the value of libraries, we can effectively combat threats to intellectual freedom and the dismantling of our profession. We can remind our stakeholders and the public who resource us through policy, funding, and social capital of our inherent value to the future of society. We can reclaim the national narrative about libraries to remind the world that we make it a better place. We need to hear more of the positive stories that are happening every day across libraries. We tell our library users that the best place to start their advocacy is by simply using their library. I say to our library workers that a tremendous form of self-advocacy is by sharing stories and by seeking the impactful stories of those they serve. My presidential support would come in the forms of learning, curating, and then celebrating and amplifying our stories. When we face the Sisyphean sensation that our work is never done, when we struggle to find purchase to lift ourselves from burnout, when we face polarization and mistrust, our stories remind of who we are and why we are committed to librarianship. RP: My goal is to bring everyone together to ensure input from all stakeholders. We may not agree on everything, but we have different perspectives, and it is an opportunity to share thoughts, listen to one another, and see what we can do to address these issues together. As ALA President, I plan to engage with the new ALA Executive Director and strengthen a collaborative working relationship to ensure their and ALA's success. I see an opportunity to collaborate with the ALA Executive Board to empower the Executive Director to engage with 200+ ALA staff. The staff at ALA are true gems in partnering with member leaders in carrying out ALA's work and priorities. I recognize and thank the staff for their hard work and service. Many have recently retired or transitioned from ALA, meaning there are institutional knowledge and history gaps. We need to cultivate opportunities to support and recognize the staff. Another area is to think of ways to engage with membership. One significant opportunity coming up is ALA's 150th anniversary in 2026. There may be moments for ALA to engage with membership and prospective members with its long and evolving history. I would welcome opportunities from the ALA's 1 S0th-anniversary steering committee to engage and partner with internal and external groups to promote how ALA has been a vibrant community, constantly evolving, and committed to supporting critical issues impacting readers, library advocates, libraries, and library workers. I would facilitate conversations and share resources and connections to ensure that our 150th anniversary becomes highly successful and memorable. How can ALA better support libraries and library workers faced with book challenges and threats of violence? RP: I am deeply sympathetic to our authors, illustrators, readers, and library colleagues, especially those working in school and public libraries experiencing criminalization, harassment, and violence due to book challenges, bans, and censorship . As a result, we see an increasing level of demoralization and resignation, burnout, and workplace safety issues. Some libraries have had to close, while others have experienced traumatic moments. These horrible situations are not unique and have arisen before in library history, yet we see people coming together to push back and support intellectual freedom in various ways. There are many groups within ALA focused on these issues. From what I see, we need to engage with our state and regional chapters through ALA's Chapter Relations Office and ALA Affiliates and other channels Agenda Item 5D-6 20 ~~IOWACITY I'~ PUBLIC LIBRARY and share critical resources like the Merritt Humanitarian Fund. Providing additional resources and support to the ALA Chapter Relations Office is key. We may want to partner with these groups to host media training or letter/op-ed writing/FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request workshops to train library workers and the community to take action when and before these issues come up, and to uncover book challenges . We should be monitoring U.S . Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) cases from librarians who were terminated because they refused to remove books, especially books centering on LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC experiences; they have filed workplace discrimination claims with EEOC and the results are pending. ALA may also want to consider partnering with other groups to offer digital safety and anti-doxxing workshops to ensure that we can protect library workers and their private information from malicious users who are attempting to expose such sensitive information to the public. In addition, collaborating with authors, illustrators, and publishers through social media to highlight these issues may also help raise awareness of book challenges to the broader public. All of us must come together to do this emotionally challenging but necessary work because we believe in intellectual freedom and that "free people read freely." SH: As a library worker who has navigated both a bomb threat and a story time protest in the last year at the Iowa City Public Library, I continue to learn, think, and feel so much about the emotional, physical, and social tolls of this profession . ALA can better support libraries and library workers facing book challenges and threats of violence by actively promoting and disseminating best practices developed by library workers who have successfully navigated such situations. Sharing these experiences, case studies, and practical strategies through ALA's communication channels can empower libraries to proactively address challenges to intellectual freedom while promoting the safety of both workers and patrons. ALA has organized training sessions, webinars, and workshops that focus on de-escalation techniques, conflict resolution, and fostering inclusive spaces within libraries, but I believe hosting these initiatives for our partners and stakeholders is a way to educate the public about these universal issues too. Leaning into expert institutions like the National Institute of Workers Rights , Center for Workers' Rights, and National Employment Law Project (NELP) can help us best delegate the three jobs each library worker currently performs: library worker, library advocate, and self-advocate. Collaboration and resource-sharing among broader communities are crucial. ALA is facilitating space for this by establishing a centralized platform for the exchange of information and resources related to book challenges (United Against Book Bans ) and can support partners who are developing resources related to violence threats, for example PEN American 's 2022 Tip Sheet for Librarians Facing Harassment. Encouraging a community of practice where library workers can share insights and support each other in addressing these issues will contribute to a more resilient and informed library community. ALA-APA (Allied Professional Association ) can expand its mission to include a focus on workers' rights and safety best practices by actively advocating for policies that protect library workers in challenging situations, conducting research on workplace safety in libraries, and providing resources and training programs to enhance the well-being of library professionals and those we serve. You're both powerful advocates for other library workers. How do you want to bring this work to the larger association? SH: One of my campaign values is We Do This Work Together. The work of libraries is best conducted in community. Together, our diverse perspectives and talents shape the impact of library services and enable us to directly understand and answer informational needs. Because libraries are reflections of the communities they serve, the work is often complex (even messy). However, through policies, procedures, and processes, all are welcome and invited to the table to conduct the good (often difficult) work of Agenda Item 5D-7 21 ~~IOWACITY I'~ PUBLIC LIBRARY libraries. Identifying shared values, the importance of access, and the impact of free people reading freely are viable bridges of partnership in this work. During my service as the Iowa Library Association President, our state faced the second-most library adverse bills in the nation, our association changed service management providers, our member leaders coordinated our annual conference without staff support, and we managed to steer our finances outside of debt for the first time in nine years . As a leader, I recognized how facilitating opportunities to grow together, inviting everyone to the table, encouraging members to partner inside and outside the organization to support our mission, and resourcing those performing incredible work are my key functions. As an ALA Executive Board member, I recognize how resourcing membership and staff efforts is crucial to the sustainability of our association and profession. As ALA President, I would support the Executive Board in the hiring of the new ALA Executive Director and seek to resource their role, which is to uplift the voice of membership, by rehiring a Director of Development to focus on financing ALA's future, and a Director of the Public Policy and Advocacy Office to craft and influence policy which directly funds and sustains our field. RP: I want to ensure that ALA strives to be an association where people feel valued through positive connections with others, are able to be authentic, and have a sense of belonging in this space. It is not perfect by any means, but I know there are opportunities to continue shaping the conversation and ensuring that ALA continues to integrate and sustain the values of equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility within the association and as best practices to engage with our communities. I see an opportunity to highlight resources and opportunities from ALA-APA . We may hold more conversations about matters impacting library workers, like the gender pay gap, anti-burnout measures, recognizing and mitigating toxic workplaces, and self-preservation . These conversations could become free webinars and an on line conference to highlight these issues in discussion and engage with the profession at large. How would you want to steer ALA's legislative priorities during your term? RP: Many ongoing legislative priorities are in discussion, and other issues may come up suddenly. I want to name an unknown variable I am monitoring closely: the upcoming 2024 U.S . presidential, House, Senate, and state elections, and how those outcomes may impact library advocacy and legislative work in various ways. This also means that we must strengthen our relationships with stakeholders and work from previous years in securing federal funds to sustain essential programs like IMLS or LSTA that support libraries nationally and locally. For my own experiences, I serve as a member of the ALA Policy Corps and in the California Library Association's (CLA) Advocacy and Legislative Committee, where I advocate for state and federal funds for libraries. I see the critical need for library funds when cuts are happening from New York City to the state of Oregon; libraries are reducing service hours, significantly impacting the communities they serve. I had an opportunity to meet with legislators' aides regarding relevant bills such as the More Social Workers in Libraries Ac t. because library advocacy work benefits everyone. My approach would be to hold more conversations and encourage all of us as library advocates to engage with legislative processes at the city, state, and federal levels, and be aware of acts or bills that may affect libraries, such as the Artificial Intelligence Accountability Act, the Digital Equity Act, the Fight Book Bans Act, or A Stronger Workforce for America Act . In addition, other important issues are happening at the state level, such as consumer privacy acts or ebook bills, that may help us understand and address the evolving digital landscape impacting our work, values, and users . SH: Resourcing and supporting the work of the ALA Council Committee or Legislation is absolutely essential, and requires a commitment of human capital by hiring the next Director of the Public Policy and Agenda Item 5D-8 22 ~~IOWACITY ,~ PUBLIC LIBRARY Advocacy Office. Legislative priorities in many aspects are determined by the bills that are filed and our agility to respond at federal, state, and local levels. By directing resources and staff to support membership in coalition building, productive communications, and media relations, I think we can stratify our responses at the state and local levels (where most library funding and policymaking occurs) to better compliment the federal priorities in play. Additionally, by promoting comprehensive launches of library-friendly legislation like ebook pricing bills, freedom to read bills, and library worker protections bills, we can transition the narrative to how legislators can unite to strengthen information access and contribute to positive outcomes. The more states that can contribute to this legal canon, the more impetus and momentum the federal legislative bodies have to support these initiatives too. If elected, what would each of you want to sit down with the other and find out to make your work stronger? SH: Ray and I have served ALA for many years together. Sharing this slate with him is the professional honor of a lifetime and I recognize that the success of my presidency (the success of our association and profession) hinges on continuing to work, learn, and serve together. Several of our presidential priorities dovetail into the larger strategic initiatives which must unfold ALA to thrive for the next 150 years. Supporting Ray to develop coalitions and containers to strengthen our international relationships would be an edifying conversation starter. I can hardly wait to sit down to talk more about developing our voice in the discourse and policymaking regarding artificial intelligence. I am excited to ideate ways we can create intersectional training and resource sharing between ALA affiliates and chapters for advocacy and organizing. RP: Outside of ALA, Sam and I are part of the Library Freedom Project. This program teaches library workers about surveillance threats, privacy rights, and digital tools to disrupt surveillance. I greatly respect and admire Sam, their leadership, and their work promoting intellectual freedom and combating book censorship issues in Iowa and elsewhere. I would welcome Sam and their expertise in strategizing ways to address censorship issues happening across the country and help identify collaborative opportunities to support state chapters in these efforts through media/op-ed training and ALA resources on intellectual freedom . I have appreciated the chance to get to know Sam throughout this campaign process . Regardless of the outcome, I fully support Sam and will do my best to ensure their success.

Call Meeting to Order. Rocklin called the meeting to order at 5:00 pm. A quorum was present. Approval of February 22, 2024 Board Meeting Agenda. Shultz made a motion to approve the February 22, 2024 Board Meeting Agenda. Raeburn seconded . Motion passed 6/0. Public Discussion. None. Items to be Discussed. Director Evaluation. Carman presented a letter to the Board requesting his evaluation be conducted in a closed session . Stevenson made a motion to adjourn the meeting pursuant to Iowa Code section 21 .5.1.i for the purposes of evaluating the Library Director. Shultz seconded . Motion passed 6/0. The meeting closed at 5:03 pm. Massa entered the closed session. Rocklin reconvened the meeting at 5:44 PM . The evaluation committee recommended increasing Carman 's salary by 3.25%. Stevenson made a motion to approve the salary increase. Massa seconded. Motion passed 7 /0. Policy Review: 601 Collection Development. Mangano noted a small change to the policy and clarified the policy will keep to its regular review schedule. Mangano said this small and impactful change and will help staff be more upfront about what donations are accepted . Shultz asked how many gifts the library accepts. Mangano said several a week. Roche said many of the donations unfortunately cannot be accepted and staff would like to be respectful to donors. If you will need disability-related accommodations in order to participate in this meeting, please contact Jen Royer, Iowa City Public Library, at 319-887-6003 or jennifer-royer@icpl.org. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time to meet your access needs. Agenda Item 10A-2 27 Matthews exited at 5:45 pm. ~~IOWACITY I"~ PUBLIC LIBRARY Rocklin clarified that books would still be accepted for the Friends Foundation but not for the collection. Roche agreed and shared books would still be accepted for the bookstore. Raeburn asked why an exception was needed in the policy language. Mangano shared the goal of building up the world languages collection, which is hard to do with current vendors. Mangano wishes to be able to communicate specific collection needs to ICPL Development staff who could then look for those donations. Roche said we will be able to build special relationships and pathways for this development. Shultz made a motion to approve the changes to policy 601 Collection Development. Raeburn seconded. Motion passed 6/0. Policy Review: 812 Hours of Service. Raeburn expressed amazement at the number of times the policy has changed. Rocklin noted the requested revisions were to the policy history only. Stevenson made a motion to approve policy 812 Hours of Service. Shultz seconded . Motion passed 6/0. Set Calendar for Next Fiscal Year. Paetzold asked if the Block Party should be included. Pilkington said this was in the calendar the first year of the Block Party but in the past few hours haven't been extended . The past few years Carman, Palmer, Royer, and a few hourly staff have kept only the lobby open. The first year the library was kept open attendance was much lower than anticipated. Matthews entered at 5:50 pm. Paetzold asked if any union concerns were expected . Carman said no, in the past three years the library didn't stay open except for air conditioning, bathrooms, the lobby, and meeting rooms . Union staff are not expected to work. Matthews asked why the building sometimes closes at 4, 5, or 6 pm and noted Veterans Day. Carman said the Library has defined holiday hours as 10-6, City holiday hours are 10-5, and closing at 4 pm on Christmas Eve has been done historically. Paulios said there would be an impact if we extended hours to 10-6 as we would need additional staffing hours. Paetzold made a motion to approve the FY25 Building Calendar. Shultz seconded. Motion passed 7 /0. Review Draft of Advocacy Committee Letter. Matthews noted the draft of the letter had become outdated quickly. Paetzold said the outdating is a bigger issue in itself. Matthews said this is an extensive draft and the spirit of it is still important. Matthews noted the length of the letter was too long and welcomed editing from Raeburn . Stevenson said the length of the letter was fair at one page. Paetzold asked how comfortable others were with the context of the letter. Paetzold said a challenge of the committee was they had pressing needs but in the time available to get the Board together to sign off, the letter became irrelevant. Paetzold said when the letter is reviewed the process of making a statement needs to be taken into consideration. The committee can't send an email to everyone because it would violate Open Meeting laws. Paetzold felt it was hard to let the issue sit and fizzle when the issue at hand was the existence of Library Boards. Paetzold requested input from Trustees on the letter and the feedback process. Shultz expressed comfort in emergency meetings. Massa agreed. Stevenson said Trustees only need 24 hours and a quorum for a special meeting. Paetzold asked if emergency meetings could be held via Zoom. Shultz said this was covered in the Bylaws review . Paetzold felt the issue at hand was not over and is an issue about local control in which the Board needs to take a stand. Paetzold shared Helmick can speak to this issue in detail. Massa asked if the bill would be dropped. Matthews said it was paused in the House, it had been voted in subcommittee and was paused in addendums, before going to the full committee. Matthews said there is another one in the Senate which is similar. Both are about who is in control of banning books and in response to Pella, IA. Paetzold said the context the ILA is taking is to avoid the book banning issue and focusing on local control and allocation of funding . Paetzold said ILA Lobby Day is on March 5th and there will be opportunity to speak with legislators. Matthews shared that Helmick said the pause is for more communication after March 5th If you will need disability-related accommodations in order to participate in this meeting, please contact Jen Royer, Iowa City Public Library, at 319-887-6003 or jennifer-royer@icpl.org. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time to meet your access needs. Agenda Item 10A-3 28 ~~IOWACITY I"~ PUBLIC LIBRARY when ILA has met with legislators. Paetzold noted anyone can add comments to bills online. People were stunned to see the outcry across the state influence the stall of SSB 3168 and HSB 678. Massa noted Iowa City Council is not on the list of cities opposed to these bills and asked if any of the Council Members had said anything. Paetzold said the City Council Consortium is a little mixed but there are other City leaders saying don't do this. Paetzold noted Iowa City has been silent and believes there has been a fear of retribution . Carman said Redmond Jones frequently works with lobbyists and is in conversation about these bills. Carman sent Redmond Jones, Geoff Fruin, and Bruce Teague a message to make sure the legislation was on their radar and were aware of actions they could take with the petition. Carman suggested they could reach out to the City of Iowa City's Lobbyist or the League of Cities. Massa noted Iowa City, Cedar Rapids , and Des Moines were not on the list of cities opposed . Paetzold said one thing cities could be thinking is that if there are no longer designated funds at their discretion to do what they want with they might feel it is appropriate with their own city budget being decreased. Paetzold said if they want to increase their police force, funds that could have been designated to the Library previously could start going into those structures. However, that is not how the funds are generally voted on. Rocklin said he would imagine larger cities would be more comfortable with a semiautonomous Board . Rocklin said on the other hand when he worked at the University, bills would bubble up and there would be thousands of things they wanted lobbyist on , and the University would rightly focus on two of them. Rocklin said maybe that is the city's attitude too. Paetzold said libraries are different because they focus on intellectual freedom and protecting part of the democratic base . Matthews wondered if cities were interested in not having to have a public vote to utilize the money. Paetzold said the work of the Library Board would fall on City staff who are already heavily tasked if the bills go through. Shultz said in the past when Iowa City has signed petitions legislators have intentionally gone after the legislation and by not signing this the city is making a bigger statement. Rocklin suggested editing the letter in a more general way so future changes could be accommodated. Rocklin suggested publishing before March 5th • Matthews noted a special meeting would be required . Paetzold clarified this was a great deadline so it was ready before Lobby Day on March 5th • Matthews felt the purpose of the letter was to encourage others to make a one-line statement on the bill in opposition. Rocklin said the intent was to share there is a great system in place with Library Boards being stewards of precious community resources and giving this to city councils will put these resources at risk. Paetzold clarified the ending paragraph should be a call to action and Rocklin agreed . Stevenson agreed with the letter and suggested more general language. Massa was surprised that conservative Iowans were wanting to centralize this, knowing they like local control. Rocklin said right now a community can have a referendum to vote. Matthews said currently City Council appoints Library Trustees; they have a say. Paetzold noted two communities have already have Advisory Boards . Rocklin suggested Trustees contribute editorial thoughts to Paetzold and Matthews who could then schedule a special meeting. Staff Reports . Director's Report. Carman gave huge credit to the number of library staff who are paying attention and up to date on fast moving legislation. Carman gave a brief CIP update. Going into the project staff believed the Boardroom table was solid wood and learned that it was not, there is a visible mar on the table. Carman is carrying on with the project and hopes to make good use of the resources available. Carman noted the details of the Board vacancy. For gender balance the vacant spot does need to be a female- identified person . Carman noted gender balance on Boards is also being discussed in legislation. Rocklin urged Trustees to encourage others to apply. Paetzold acknowledged the value and leadership Lucy Santos Green brought to the Library Board . Departmental Reports: Children's Services. None. Collection. Paetzold said Mangano's report had been shared across the state in multiple places . Rocklin If you will need disability-related accommodations in order to participate in this meeting, please contact Jen Royer, Iowa City Public Library, at 319-887-6003 or jennifer-royer@icpl.org. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time to meet your access needs. Agenda Item 10A-4 29 thanked Mangano. IT. None. ~~IOWACITY I"~ PUBLIC LIBRARY Development Report. Rocklin said Roche was ahead on fundraising goals. Roche noted advocacy on upcoming ticket sales would be appreciated and was thankful for Rocklin and Barb McFadden's advocacy. Miscellaneous: News Articles. None. President's Report. Appoint Nominating Committee. Matthews, Raeburn, and Stevenson served on the committee and will present a slate of officers at the April meeting. Rocklin encouraged Trustees to attend Looking Forward fundraisers with authors Dave Eggers and llyon Woo. Rocklin encouraged Trustees to consider making a donation to the Friends Foundation. Announcements from Members. Paetzold thanked staff for their time and energy on legislative issues; they've demonstrated tremendous leadership. Matthews agreed and thanked staff for their comments and viewpoints. Paetzold said the ALA presidency election is coming up and everyone should look at the candidates as Helmick is on the ballot. Paetzold noted Trustee ALA membership is supported by the Library and that trustees should speak with Royer if interested in joining. Committee Reports. Raeburn said the Finance committee met and will review finances after each quarter on the Thursday before the Board meeting at 5 pm. They aim to consult and advise the Library Director if he feels a need for it. The Finance Committee will share quarterly reports . Raeburn is on the Friends Committee and said money is coming in. Communications. None. Consent Agenda. Shultz noticed an error in the minutes and noted the Consent Agenda vote should be 8/0 and not 8/10. Shultz made a motion to approve the Consent Agenda with the proposed edit. Matthews seconded . Motion passed 7 /0. Set Agenda Order for March Meeting. Rocklin shared the Community Relations policy, Library Programs policy, and departmental reports will be reviewed in March . Adjournment. Rocklin adjourned the meeting at 6:27 PM.
