Library Expenditures Q4, FY24 Update
Prepared for the August 22, 2024
Meeting of the Library Board of Trustees
Elsworth Carman, Library Director
In fiscal year 2024, we utilized 98% of our allocated budget. The Q4 expenditure report reflects
trends consistent with previous quarters. Some budget lines were strategically spent at over
100% based on needs, which were largely balanced by underspending in other lines.
For this report, I will briefly describe the spending associated with budget lines that either exceed
110% or fall below 85% of their allocation, provided these lines have a revised budget or expenditures
of $15,000 or more. Some lines may fall above or below these percentages but represent smaller fund
allocations and are therefore excluded. Additionally, lines with spending over 200%, regardless of
value, will be addressed.
The Library Materials budget lines are excluded from this analysis, as they are intentionally grouped
into a single category but are spent across 16 distinct lines. Similarly, Personnel lines are excluded, as
they are managed separately from general expense lines.

Fuel/Gas
$38,000 $20,085 $17,915 53%Mild weather in the fall
and early winter along
with cooler spring and

Material Repair
and Maintenance
(R&M) Service
$22,000 $18,261 $3,739 83%Print material

809 Library Use Policy
Proposal: A routine, three-year review of the Library Use Policy for the Iowa City Public Library
Board of Trustees.
Issues: The Library Use Policy helps define and clarify patron interaction with the library space and
resources as well as Library staff’s response when issues arise.
The Inservice Day Committee is preparing a day of training around trauma-informed and socially
responsive library service. With this future work in mind, we felt it would be best to postpone any
substantive changes to the Library Use Policy until after the training in December. We altered only a
few items and will look to bring this policy back to the Board in 2025.
Committee Recommendations:
(Related
Policies)

Guidelines.
809.206,
809.207
Correct misnumbered sections
Action: Review policy and adopt as amended.
Prepared by: Sam Helmick, Community & Access Services Coordinator and Jason Paulios, Adult
Services Coordinator.

817 Alcohol in the Library Policy Memo
Proposal: A routine, three-year review of the Alcohol in the Library Policy.
Issues: The purpose of the Library’s Alcohol in the Library Policy is to adhere with Iowa laws and
local ordinance regarding the serving, possession, and consumption of alcohol in the Library and
provide a policy regulating the Use of Alcohol in the Iowa City Public Library. In addition, the policy
also makes provisions to pursue consent to serve alcohol in the Library. 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. 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 spaces hosted by other entities of Iowa City
government or the Iowa City UNESCO City of Literature.
Committee Recommendations:
The review committee has no recommendations to propose at this time.
Action: To approve the policy as is.

SF496 Update
Last week, the preliminary injunction that blocked parts of Senate File 496 was removed, and the
provisions in the bill are active. This bill includes several mandates for public school districts, some of
which impact school library collections in a significant—and not yet comprehensively defined—way.
Notably, the bill requires public schools to remove materials that include “descriptions or visual
depictions of a sex act.”
This bill does not directly impact public library collections, but it does impact our community’s access
to materials. We will monitor the ways our local schools interpret the bill and provide support for
teacher librarians, educators, adult caregivers, and students in navigating access gaps that may result
from this legislation. The full bill can be accessed in the Bill Book at
https://www.legis.iowa.gov/legislation/BillBook?ga=90&ba=SF496.
ICPL Presentations at the 2024 Iowa Library Association Conference
The 2024 Iowa Library Association annual conference will be held in Des Moines from October 9 -11.
ICPL will be represented in two presentations.
Sam Helmick will be presenting “Public Libraries: Catalysts for Civic Renewal” with Bill Carroll (Marion
Public Library) and Jennie Garner (North Liberty Community Library). The session will focus on the
role public libraries play in cross-departmental collaboration and “foster[ing] belonging.”
Robin Paetzold and Elsworth Carman will be presenting “Effective Governance and Leadership in
Public Libraries: Roles and Responsibilities of Library Boards and Directors,” which will “explore
perspectives on building and maintaining a unified, productive approach to library governance,
policies, human resources management, and leadership—even in times of great challenge.” Robin
and I will include perspectives and voices from libraries of different sizes and from diverse locations
across the state.
As noted in last month’s packet, ICPL will be supporting eight staff members in attending the ILA
conference.
Public Libraries of Johnson County Strategic Planning
The directors of public libraries in Johnson County will be working with State Library of Iowa district
consultant Becky Heil to develop a Johnson County Public Library strategic plan early next month. I’m
looking forward to the process; while the directors of Johnson County public libraries meet regularly,
this is a new kind of project for the group. One of the outcomes I plan to advocate for is a timeline
for collaborative presentations for regional and county-wide stakeholder groups; this feels like an
effective way to demonstrate that we work together to serve our larger community and to share the

ICPL Goals, Objectives, and Performance Measures Update for the City
Budget Book
As we begin the work of crafting a FY26 budget, each City department updates the goals, objectives,
and performance measures (GOMs) that are included in the annual budget book. The library
documents and records a significant number of statistics, but we are limited in the number that can
be shared in the budget book. Additionally, the budget book has a wide audience that includes City
Council, City staff, and the broader community, so we selected metrics that have a direct connection
to both the City’s strategic plan and ICPL’s strategic plan and can be understood quickly without
requiring library-specific knowledge.
The ICPL GOMs update can be seen here:

Summer Reading
Our 2024 Adventure Begins Summer Reading Program has come to an end. Collectively, our
community logged about 35,800 books read this summer! 1,708 kids ages 0-12 signed up with 1,119
finishing the program. I think this is one of our best completion rates ever! Teens and Adults had
1,054 signups and 656 completions, again some of our highest completion rates with this age group
as well!
Programming numbers were also up in the children’s department. The dedicated Children’s staff
worked hard to get these numbers to increase. We made changes by bringing back Thursday
afternoon paid performers and brought back daily storytimes in the building and moved our Stories
in the Park Program with the Bookmobile up by an hour from 10:30am to 9:30am. We had 10,188
participants June-August at 154 programs. For comparison:
We handed out 2,848 snacks thanks to our partnerships with the Iowa City Community School District
and the Bread Garden. We had 4,605 participants in our passive programs: scavenger hunts, Bookwalk
at Willow Creek Park, and our guessing games for prizes such as Legos, Squishmallows, or a S’mores
set.
None of this success would be possible without the generous funding of our Friends Foundation,
partnerships with our community partners, support of other library staff, and of course the community
who comes to the library, specifically to the Children’s Room.

Looking Ahead to Fall
With kids heading back to school, and changes to ICCSD’s 6th grade scheduling which moved them to
the middle schools, we have had to move our afternoon program start times. Most afternoon
programs will begin at 4:30. This means children’s staff have had to change their daily schedules to
accommodate this change. I am always appreciative of their flexibility and accommodating attitudes
to help out with these changes.
Preschool and daycare outreach visits continued over the summer months, but at a slower,
manageable pace. Those will be starting up again too as more preschools open with the start of the
school year. Over the summer our Outreach Librarians, Casey and Fang, made 45 visits reading to
1,019 kids.
Last Splash of Summer
For the 3rd year we ended summer with a splash! Absolute Science brings bubble stations with 600
gallons of bubble solution to be exact and their giant foam blaster. IC Fire brings their water cannon
game and the fun ensues! It has been a fun way to bring everyone to gether to celebrate the end of
summer reading.

Collection Services Department Report
Prepared for the August 22, 2024
Meeting of the Library Board of Trustees
Anne Mangano, Collection Services Coordinator
Digital collection changes to hoopla
On July 1, 2024, we changed our hoopla collection to relieve pressure on our collection budget, but it
significantly reduced what is available to our community on that digital platform.
Background: hoopla is a digital collection service that provides access to eBooks, audiobooks, music,
movies, television series, and comics. They use a digital pricing model called cost per use. This model
allows a vendor to offer a full catalog of titles and charge for only what is used by our patrons. This
use fee is charged per title and can range from $0.99 to $3.99, depending on the publisher, the
format, and the popularity of the title. The wonderful thing about cost per use is that everything
offered is available at any time. There are no wait lists for our users. The downside is that the price
points for popular items are very high—and they add up quickly. To ensure we stayed within our
budget, we placed a couple of restrictions on cost per use, including limiting the number of titles you
can use per month. We now block access to some of the most expensive price points.
Higher priced eBooks and audiobooks were removed from the collection. Before July 1st, we
offered everything available in the hoopla catalog to our patrons. What is available is what hoopla
was able to get rights to from publishers, music labels, and film studios. In July, we added a cap to
what we will pay, no longer offering eBooks and audiobooks that cost more than $1.99 per use.
Many of the titles over the price threshold are recent, popular titles also available on our other digital
library collection, Libby (also known as OverDrive). While purchasing digital content in Libby poses its
own challenges, it is more cost effective for us to direct patrons to use Libby for these titles. For a cost
comparison, the top five audiobooks borrowed from hoopla during the month of March were all
available in Libby.
Title Author Cost Per Use in
hoopla
Cost Per Use in
Libby1
A Court of Thorns and Roses Sarah J. Maas $2.89 $0.57
Remarkably Bright Creatures Shelby Van Pelt $2.99 $1.71
A Court of Mist and Fury Sarah J. Maas $3.04 $0.84
Fourth Wing Rebecca Yarros $2.71 $0.88
Tom Lake Ann Patchett $2.99 $2.89 (newer title)
The digital items we have in Libby are not charged to us per use. Most audiobooks in Libby, including
the ones listed above, are a “one copy/one user” perpetual use license, which is the most cost-

license, and how many times they were used by the public.

effective digital model. These do not need to be repurchased so the longer we have the audiobook,
the more it’s used and it costs us less per use. This type of license is considered a long-term
investment in our collection, where the “cost per use” that hoopla offers is not.
hoopla’s impact on the overall budget: In FY24, hoopla costs were almost double of what we
anticipated. We were able to cover it by not purchasing other things, but we cannot continue to do so
if we want to keep the rest of our collection current and well maintained. hoopla costs accounted for
12% of our materials expenditures in FY24, but its use only made up 3.6% of our overall circulation.2
We are pleased that patrons are using the service, but we made the adjustment to keep costs
affordable. Most public libraries in the Urban Libraries Council have this particular price cap to keep
their budgets in check.
Impact of Changes: Only one month (July 2024) of invoicing and use statistics exists since we made
the change. In comparing this first month of FY25 with the last quarter of FY24 (April-June), we saw
the following effects:
1.Our July invoice ($4,667) was 52% lower than the monthly average of the previous quarter
($9,818)
2.The average cost per use in hoopla dropped from $2.23 per use to $1.47, a 34% decrease
3.Use of the service dropped 28% in July (3,161 uses) when compared to the monthly average of
the previous quarter (4,401 uses)
While I would like to consider cutting our monthly bill by half while only reducing use by a quarter a
success, our patrons felt this change. We decreased their access to materials. Over the last month, I
received numerous questions and concerns from patrons who could no longer find audiobooks and
eBooks they wanted on hoopla. I used the opportunity to explain digital collection pricing and the
stress on library budgets, which ended our conversations positively. Almost all of the titles patrons
asked about were available, but with wait lists, in our Libby collection.
We are making some headway in discussing digital collection management with the broader
community. In July, I had the opportunity to discuss the changes to hoopla, as well as overall digital
collection purchasing, with “The Gazette” and with Elsworth on “Talk of Iowa.” I have updated our
website post about managing and budgeting for digital collections to include information about cost
per use as well as what patrons can expect when using these collections, such as:
•Long wait lists for new, popular titles
•Limited availability of older titles
•Titles we currently have in the collection may not be available in the future
2 Digital collections, such as hoopla and Kanopy do not count as “circulation” and any patron use of the titles on these
platforms are not included in our circulation statistics. This is a standard set by the Institute of Museum and Library
Services and the State Library of Iowa. They consider hoopla and Kanopy a “database use” because we do not select what
titles are included on the platforms. I added hoopla and Kanopy use to our circulation statistics to pull this number for a
better understanding of collection and budget use.

IT Department Report
Prepared for the August 2024
Meeting of the Library Board of Trustees
Brent Palmer, IT Coordinator
IT Outage
On Friday, July 19, there was a widespread IT outage due to an update to popular software called
CrowdStrike that the Library uses on all staff computers and servers. Our websites were down the
previous evening which, in hindsight, was probably the first manifestation of the issue in our cloud
environment. On the morning of the 19th, virtually all staff computers were affected by the update.
Staff described a "sea of blue screens" when walking around the staff areas. There were only two IT
staff members on hand that morning, but one of them was the systems admin and , luckily, his
Windows workstation came back up after a couple of tries. The public computers and catalogs were
never affected by the outage.
The IT staff did a wonderful job of working together to restore services in a very short time, especially
considering that the IT Coordinator was on vacation. A lot of quick thinking and resourcefulness
allowed for a fix to be found and distributed to workstations quickly. Staff naturally prioritized
restoring service desks and other important workstations. Key help came from city IT staff who
provided information about the fix early on. IT Staff who volunteered to come in during off times
helped speed up the recovery. Everything was back to normal by the time we opened at 10 AM. The
only minor issue with the response was that a press release went out erroneously saying our services
were down. The IT team has reviewed our response to the incident in light of our response planning
and have come up with a few internal recommendations to work on that might improve future
incidents.
Room A Sound Issues
On July 4th, a lengthy power outage occurred but because the Library was closed, there was no
immediate disruption to staff or patron services. When the systems finally came back up , one piece of
equipment in our control room would not come back online. The control room has many functions
including incorporating audio from the mics in Room A and video from the cameras or podium and
then incorporating that into output that gets recorded or live streamed. The system that powers all
that functionality is quite complex. The component that stopped working is called a digital signal
processor (DSP) which takes audio input from analog systems (like the wall mics) and converts it to
digital signals, equalizes the inputs and mixes them with other digital input. Audio output from the
system also passes back through a pair of DSPs before going to the speakers and recording or
streaming devices. Because the two DSPs work together, when one doesn't work, neither of them will
function. This effectively killed all audio in the Room A. This equipment was part of our FY15-FY16
meeting room upgrades and was declared end-of-life by our vendor. The replacement is scheduled to
be performed around Aug 23. During the outage the A/V Specialist monitored room reservations and
coordinated with staff and patrons for work-arounds using backup portable sound systems.

Expanding our network of supporters
We thank our community of donors for their continued support of the Iowa City Public Library. After establishing
the new ICPLFF newsletter we were able to examine our undeliverable emails (18%) and determined that most of
those email addresses were attached to donor files that were among the earliest donors to the ICPLFF. Some of
these with gifts records established as early as the 1980s. This signals, that like many nonprofits, we have an aging
donor group and need to:
-Continue to invite planned giving from our donors
-Expand our network of supporters to include people under the age of 50
-Increase major gifts to the organization in order to maintain and grow support
For FY25 the ICPL Fundraising Committee is refocusing the work of this committee away from small event-based
fundraising, focusing on:
-Friendraising/advocacy: four Friends events open to the public at ICPL per year that engage donors and the
public in learning about ICPL with coffee and cookies, behind the scene tours, and opportunities to get to
know other Library supporters
-Peer-to-peer fundraising: individual supporters host personalized campaigns to collect donations from
friends, family, and colleagues
-Planned Giving
-Increasing the number of recurring and major gifts
-Expanding network of Business Sponsorships
-Support for grants and partnerships, fundraising efforts: Great Give Day and Year End fundraising, and
development of major in-house fundraising event
Arts and Crafts Bazaar Reminder
The Arts & Crafts Bazaar is the Iowa City Public Library Friends
Foundation’s annual winter fundraiser for the Iowa City Public Library.
The Arts & Crafts Bazaar features handmade items donated by Library
supporters, as well as a used book sale, with all sales benefitting the
Iowa City Public Library.
Owners of our Literary Loot Tote Bags can bring their bags to receive

audiobooks and e-books for free. It’s available any time of day and doesn’t have wait lists — so items
can be checked out immediately.
But libraries pay a fee per item checked out by patrons, ranging from 99 cents to $3.99 per item in
Hoopla. The Iowa City Public Library changed its collection offerings in Hoopla — one of many digital
library services offered — so it doesn’t offer anything to patrons that costs the library over $1.99.
“The cost became too high for us to keep up
with. We don’t make these decisions joyfully,”
said Anne Mangano, collection services
coordinator for the Iowa City library.
The Iowa City Public Library isn’t alone in
trying to budget for the cost of digital
material that is often far more expensive than
print. According to the Urban Libraries
Council, major publishers have placed severe
restrictions on e-book and audiobook
lending models. This includes prices that far
exceed the print equivalent, time limits on
titles purchased and content that can be
removed with little or no notice from the
offerings.
“As digital technologies become increasingly inseparable from the ways people learn, work and
interact, public libraries’ abilities to afford access to e-books and audiobooks and other e-content like
streaming movies are more important than ever,” the Urban Libraries Council said in a statement
this month.
The statement urged “major e-book and
audiobook publishers and streaming services
to institute fair, transparent and flexible
licensing models for public libraries.”
There has been a 34 percent increase in
digital book borrowing alone since 2019,
according to the council. “Without changes
made to how libraries build their e-content
collections, taxpayer funded library budgets
cannot adequately meet the growing
demand and provide equitable access for
all,” the council said in their statement.

on the number of digital checkouts a patron can make — 10 a month in Hoopla “to make sure we
don’t completely blow the budget for the year in two months, because that could happen if you’re
not taking control of it,” said Dara Schmidt, the library director.
One of the other most popular options for
checking out digital materials is called the
Overdrive or Libby app. In this app, the
library pays for titles that then are made
available to patrons. There are often long
waiting lists — up to six months — for
digital materials because the library can
“lend” only as many titles of one book as it
has purchased.
For example, if the library pays for six
copies of one book digitally, only six
people can check out that book at one
time.
“When you buy a book, you own that book, but if you’re purchasing digital copies of things —
whether it’s an e-book or an audiobook — it’s more like a rental fee,” Schmidt said.
Although libraries are buying digital copies of books, they often have to renew that purchase — at
two to three times the cost of a physical book — every two to three years to keep it in their catalog.
That’s also why there’s a limit to what titles are available digitally. Both Cedar Rapids and Iowa City
librarians said they prioritize buying newer trending books over repurchasing back catalogs. The most
popular digital material the Cedar Rapids library distributes is adult fiction, especially in the romance,
fantasy and mystery genres, Schmidt said.
The Cedar Rapids Public Library splits its $650,000 annual book budget about 50-50 between digital
and print materials, Schmidt said. That includes the downtown location and Ladd Library in Cedar
Rapids’ southwest quadrant. While local libraries share collections, the Marion and Hiawatha public
libraries have separate budgets for their materials.
About 60 percent of the Iowa City Public Library’s annual budget for books is spent on digital
material, Mangano said.
“Ideally, I would like it flipped to match what people are checking out,” said Mangano, since physical
books are still the majority of the library’s circulation.
Schmidt said the cost of digital materials for libraries is the industry’s version of “price gouging.”
“The cost is so high in comparison to the average consumer, and we are government entities using
taxpayer dollars. How is that an OK thing that we are increasing prices just for public use?” she said.

Cedar Rapids library materials manager Erin Horst said it might cost an individual $12 to buy a digital
book from Amazon. “But I’m paying $70 to get a library copy that’s the same thing. It’s something you
try to explain to patrons because they say, ‘Why don’t you have more?’ And this is the reason.”
“We want to be sure we’re being respectful of intellectual content and making sure everyone gets
paid for the work they’ve done, but it’s too much for a public entity to keep up with,” Horst said.
In the last year, the Cedar Rapids Public Library saw a 950,000 circulation for print and digital
materials. While the budget is split evenly, the number of print books being checked out by patrons
still is higher, Schmidt said.
“I probably have three or four books checked out on my phone right now, but I would prefer a
physical copy,” Schmidt said. “ A lot of people will tell you they like the feeling of a book, but I’m not
going to carry five books with me at the same time. The convenience factor of having it on my phone
is great.”

Helmick has ‘endless energy’ in advocating funding, access
IOWA CITY — Iowa City librarian Sam Helmick’s priority as president-elect of the American Library
Association is to ensure “free people read freely.”
The American Library Association provides leadership for the development, promotion and
improvement of library and information services and the profession of librarianship to enhance
learning and ensure access to information, according to a news release.
Helmick, 38, the community and access coordinator for the Iowa City Public Library, was selected this
month to lead the national organization beginning June 2025 as it celebrates 150 years.
“It’s a profound honor,” Helmick said.

Librarians have the role of “resourcing their communities and ensuring people read freely,” Helmick
said. This includes supporting certified teacher librarians in schools and connecting local residents to
social services to help them find housing, jobs or develop as entrepreneurs.
“I am really passionate about the fact that libraries are incubators of opportunity and access,” Helmick
said in an interview with The Gazette. “I’m recognizing more now than ever before in our history that
resourcing them and supporting them as those incubators is going to make communities thrive.”
“Pernicious” library bills across the nation continue to challenge book titles centering on topics of
race, gender identity and sexual orientation, Helmick said. In Iowa, a new law — Senate File 496 —
banned books that depict or described any of a list of sex acts from public schools and prohibited
teaching about gender identity and sexual orientation before seventh grade, among a host of other
regulations.
In December 2023, a federal judge temporary blocked the law, allowing schools to re-shelf books
at least for now.
This is just one way libraries are facing increased scrutiny. Helmick said many state legislatures are
proposing “punitive bills” that would allow for the arrest of library workers or teachers and defund
public libraries.
Even so, Helmick approaches it with “Mister Rogers” optimism, referencing the TV host of the
children’s series Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood that ran from the 1960s to 2001.
Mister Rogers said “when you’re in a time of crisis or trouble, look to the people running to help,”
Helmick quoted. “I look and see people engaged in crucial community conversation about their
libraries, and that makes me hopeful.”
“Libraries are community anchor institutions where kids gather after school, get snacks and learn
(science, technology, engineering and math), and elders have community opportunities,” Helmick
said. “Libraries offer a welcoming and inviting space for everyone regardless of economic, social,
religious or sexual status. That’s incredible. It’s the great equalizer.”
Helmick, who uses the they/them pronouns, previously served as 2023 president of the Iowa
Association of Libraries, former chair-elect on the Intellectual Freedom Round Table and chair of the
Iowa Governor’s Commission of Libraries. They also are an author , consultant and instructor for social
media marketing and graphic design.
Helmick holds a bachelor of science in human services from Iowa Wesleyan University and a master of
science in library and information science from the University of Illinois.
Sara Dallas, who serves on the America Library Association executive board, said the work Helmick is
doing in Iowa “to protect people’s ability to read and select what they want to read is phenomenal.
Agenda Item 9A6
67
~~IOWACITY
,~ PUBLIC LIBRARY
It’s second to none.”
Helmick has “endless energy” for the work of advocating for libraries, she said. Dallas, who is from
Albany, N.Y., said she invited Helmick on a tour of rural libraries in upstate New York where they got
to know each other better.
“Our friendship jelled even more because what rural libraries need in New York is needed in Iowa and
all over the country. Those are the lifelines of communities,” Dallas said.
Elsworth Carman, director of the Iowa City Public Library, said he is impressed with Helmick’s ability to
balance their job at the local library with their state and national advocacy work.
“Watching someone make that kind of personal commitment to the field we work in is exciting,”
Carman said.
One of Helmick’s favorite aspects of their job at the Iowa City Public Library is driving the Bookmobile
— Iowa City’s mobile library.
“I think the Bookmobile is one of the places where Sam’s service really shines,” Carman said. “They
love the public service part of it, making library cards and helping people experience the library.
“They’re really enthusiastic about library service and have a deep passion for the work they do,”
Carman said of Helmick. “They’re really supportive of their colleagues and interested in making the
library the best it can be for the community.”

Iowa public school book ban block lifted
Jackson Valenti | August 9, 2024 10:25 PM
https://www.kcrg.com/2024/08/10/iowa-public-school-book-ban-block-lifted/
IOWA CITY, Iowa (KCRG) - A federal appeals court lifted an injunction that blocked enforcement of
Iowa’s book ban for public school libraries.
Lifting the injunction means the book ban can be enforced as legal challenges continue.
That means restrictions on sexually explicitly materials in school libraries could be in place by the time
students are back to school.
When the book ban was first signed into law last year, there were no specific instructions for what
books schools should or shouldn’t pull off the shelves.
Some schools struggled to make lists of books to remove in to comply with the law.
Sam Helmick, president of the American Library Association and Iowa City Public Library’s community

and access coordinator, said the law leaves a lot of questions up in the air.
“We came into some murkiness. Age-appropriate is a legally murky term, particularly when we’ve
already had laws on the books addressing sexually explicit materials,” Helmick said.
Besides defining what’s age-appropriate, Helmick questions what librarians must do if a school library
is also a small town’s community library.
Helmick says some libraries may play it safe, resulting in more books pulled from the shelves.
“We’ve seen schools remove classic literature like Shakespeare off of their shelves, so that chilling
effect is already taking place by us not purchasing materials or not maintaining materials that even
our legislators read when they were in high school,” Helmick said.
After the ruling, the Iowa City school district released a statement saying, in part, “today’s ruling once
again places the district in a state of flux.”.
Governor Reynolds released a statement saying parents, not librarians, should decide when and if
sexually-explicit books are appropriate for their children.
Those who challenged the law said this ruling is not the end of their fight.
“I don’t view it as a loss, it’s more of a delay that we have to go back and sort of re-present our
arguments,” said Nathan Maxwell, Lambda Legal attorney. Maxwell also said although the injunction
has been sent down to the lower courts, the appeals court got rid of “some of the state’s most
dangerous arguments.”
Lambda Legal represents many LGBTQ+ cases.
Maxwell said they intend to file a motion seeking another injunction as soon as possible.
In the meantime, library workers worry they’re still concerned they could break the law without
knowing.
“Library workers have the right to be notified and trained in the expectations and standards they’re to
adhere to, particularly if there is professional and legal repercussions for missing the mark,” Helmick
said.

Iowa schools in limbo as they brace for book ban, legal battle continues

https://cbs2iowa.com/news/local/iowa-schools-in-limbo-as-they-brace-for-book-ban-and-legal-
battle-continues
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — As the new school year approaches, schools across Iowa are scrambling to
navigate the enforcement of Senate File 496, a law that bans books depicting sex acts and restricts the
teaching of sexual orientation and gender identity. The law, which was recently upheld by a federal
appeals court, has left some educators and librarians in a state of confusion and concern.
Uncertainty and Lack of Guidance
Despite the injunction on Senate File 496 being overturned, many school districts and libraries said
they don't have clear guidance on how to comply with the law.
Sam Helmick, Community Access Services Coordinator at Iowa City Public Library and President
of the Iowa Library Association, expressed frustration with the ambiguity of the law. "We wrote
a letter to the Department of Ed... to ask for specific guidance so that we could comply
successfully and efficiently with the bill," Helmick said. "We still anticipate some support in
being guided to do that work, particularly because library workers could face professional and
legal ramifications if we don't hit the mark."

Helmick added while there have been no official reports of book removals in the Iowa City Public
Library, the lack of clear directives has created a "chilling" effect. "In the absence of guidance and
directives, different school boards and teacher librarians in the state of Iowa have tried to comply and
support the bill... But as you and I both know, this is very new information," Helmick said.
Iowa's News Now reached out to the Cedar Rapids Community School District for comment, but a
district spokesperson said they have been and are still working to fully comply with the new law.
Impact on LGBTQ+ Community and Student Safety
The law’s broad language has also raised concerns about its impact on LGBTQ+ students and the
broader community.
Helmick, who identifies as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, said the law has fostered an
unprecedented sense of marginalization in Iowa.
"It is a status of otherized and unwelcome that I've never felt in the state of Iowa before," Helmick
said. "When you do not have access to stories that are outside of your personal worldview, what we're
doing is telling Iowans, particularly our students, what to think, not how to think."
Helmick also raised concerns about the safety implications for LGBTQ+ students, particularly those
related to the law's requirement for educators to inform parents if a child requests to use different
pronouns. They added that it highlights the potential risks of untrained individuals making decisions
that could impact student safety.
"I would caution against immediately having implications interpreted by those who are not staffed
and trained to do that," Helmick said.
Logistical Challenges for Schools and Libraries
As schools prepare to open next week, the logistical challenges of complying with Senate File 496 are
becoming more clear.
Joshua Brown is the president of the Iowa State Education Association -- one of the groups suing the
state over the law.
He said there will be significant stress placed on educators who are now tasked with interpreting the
law with little guidance from the state.
"Politicians in Des Moines have passed a law that's going into effect next week, and we are in a
position where we still haven't received appropriate guidance about exactly what the interpretation of
this law should even mean," Brown said. "Each individual school district, each group of administrators,
individual teachers are trying to have to interpret a vague law putting additional stress on them as the
year is getting ready to start."

I'~ PUBLIC LIBRARY
Both Helmick and Brown described the challenge of reviewing every book to ensure compliance as
being immense.
"This could be a Herculean task," Helmick said. "When we've seen this happen legislatively in other
states, it has shut down libraries temporarily so they can reconcile with the absolute magnitude of the
question being posed, and without clear directives, I think that that work will be elongated."
Ongoing Legal Battle
Despite the law's implementation, the fight to overturn Senate File 496 continues.
Brown said he remains confident the law will eventually be struck down as unconstitutional.
"We're confident that we are gonna be able to get this law overturned and this law will go away," he
said. "Ultimately, when a judge hears this case in full, they're gonna rule that this is protected speech...
and this law will be ruled unconstitutional."
However, with the school year starting next week, the timing remains uncertain.
"Unfortunately, we're at a time crunch where we don't know if that's gonna be able to happen before
the school year starts," Brown said.

How Iowa libraries serve communities in the digital age

Librarians across Iowa provide materials in all types of formats, even building community on
social media platforms. But meeting their community's varying needs can translate to hefty
price tags, straining library budgets.
If you’ve ever rented an audio or e-book from your local library, you may have waited in a long digital
line for a copy or wondered why there aren’t just more digital editions available.
But providing digital options to readers comes at a steep cost to libraries. Librarians must balance

trying to provide a full range of services without breaking the budget. In today's political and
economic environment, that can be a challenge.
The public library price tag
Providing digital copies of books to patrons can be difficult, with varying agreements and vendor —
and patron — expectations.
Anne Mangano, collections services coordinator at the Iowa City Public Library, said the licensing
agreements for libraries to provide e-books or audio books on the popular library app Libby are
expensive.
“You may be able to get that copy on Amazon or Apple books for $12, $20. We're paying $65, we're
paying $85, for audiobooks that can be $125 per copy. And we get those copies, sometimes for one
year, sometimes for two years, sometimes for 24 checkouts, and then we have to repurchase it.”
After the copy is purchased, and although it’s a digital
copy, it can only go to one person at a time, just like a
physical book. On top of that, the library may have to pay
multiple times for popular titles or after a certain amount
of time or checkouts have passed.
“The publishers have set the terms and they've been a
little bit upfront about it, in that if it's inconvenient to use
it at your public library, you will be more compelled to
buy it for yourself,” Mangano said.
Another popular library app, Hoopla, doesn’t have a wait
time like Libby, because the library doesn’t curate the material’s availability by purchasing the copies.
In that business model, any time a patron checks out a title, the library is charged. Mangano said an
individual checkout can cost the library from $0.99 to $3.99, which adds up at the end of the month in
the library's bill and can be hard to manage.
Last month the Iowa City Public Library removed e-books and audiobooks from Hoopla that cost
more than $1.99, which was a difficult decision for library staff.
“We want people to use the library however they want to,” said Elsworth Carman, library director at
the Iowa City Public Library. “So, when we talk about the burden of cost, it's never to dissuade users
— we want you to use what's comfortable and what works well. But I think being realistic and honest
about that is also part of our job as a city department, to make sure that these things are known and
the challenges are known.”
Mangano also noted that patrons should know that when they get a notification from Hoopla
encouraging them to check out more books before the end of the month, that message is coming

from a corporation, not the library.
BookTok connects readers
In addition to providing reading material digitally, librarians are using virtual tools to reach out to
their patrons — especially TikTok. “BookTok,” a subcommunity in the app, is all about sharing book
recommendations, gushing over authors and celebrating a culture of reading.
“We wanted to figure out a way where we could make videos to be part of the conversation,” said
Kelly Marble, digital marking specialist at the Des Moines Public Library. “We didn't think we would be
doing dances or anything like that on TikTok, but seeing people talk about books, we were like, ‘We
have teams of librarians who are experts at recommending books, and how can we get their
recommendations in front of people?’”
Marble started sharing a roundup of the library’s most requested books each month on TikTok. She
also started a video series called “While You Wait,” which recommends books that are similar to
popular requests that have a long wait period to become available.
For example, for readers in a long hold line to access God of the Woods by Liz Moore, Marble
recommends checking out The Searcher by Tana French, Back to the Garden by Laurie R. King or When
the Stars Go Dark by Paula McLain.
The Des Moines Public Library’s TikTok account has attracted more than 16,000 followers. Marble said
while reading is often a solitary activity, these online spaces have created a virtual community to
discuss books.
“Social media has really made a place for readers to connect in a way that they really didn't have
before.”
It’s a new type of relationship that libraries have with these digital patrons. Though they might be
voracious readers, some of them might not even enter the library building.
“They're still library card holders, and they can still get a lot of the benefits of a library card without
coming into the library, but we'd always love to see them in the library,” Marble said. “So we always
love to maintain that relationship to maybe get them to one of our AViD events — our Authors
Visiting in Des Moines events in the spring — or we have the fall author series coming up. So, we do
try to convert people who have only interacted with us digitally to coming in and engaging with us in
person. But if they only ever engage with us digitally, we're still getting resources and books into
people's hands.”
New ALA president champions Library Bill of Rights
While there have never been more ways to read and engage with fellow readers, there are also an
increasing number of challenges facing libraries.

Conservative politicians have been trying to restrict the type of material available in libraries across
the country. A law from the Republican-controlled Iowa Legislature went into effect in early
August that bans books with sexual content from K-12 school libraries. While Republicans such as
Gov. Kim Reynolds argue these books are an inappropriate distraction, library advocates say they
already have a system set in place to vet the books in their collection.
Sam Helmick, community and access services coordinator at the Iowa City Public Library, is the new
president of the American Library Association. They said it’s important to remember that the Library
Bill of Rights — a document housed by the ALA, which was first written by a previous director of the
Des Moines Public Library — is a collection of articles that came from Iowa values.
“I think we've always been known for leaning in to these hard intellectual freedom conversations. And
so to get to represent that and share it with the wider world is incredible,” they said.
Helmick said Iowa has the most libraries in the nation per capita, and the fourth most overall. They
said small and large libraries across the nation create opportunities for community conversation and
engagement.
“It's an absolute delight, and so if I can use my time and energy to further that, it feels like time well
spent.”
Helmick said they believe the cultural conversation about book bans is connected to class issues.
“If we're talking about collections, great. If we're talking about dismantling publicly-funded
institutions that make sure people have water and heat and cool if they're under-housed... then that's
a harder conversation... The best way to really know what's going on in your library is to use it.”

Iowa Book Ban Fuels National Debate Over Censorship
August 11, 2024
https://evrimagaci.org/tpg/iowa-book-ban-fuels-national-debate-over-censorship-11011
Key court decisions enable controversial restrictions on educational materials, stirring concerns
among advocates for LGBTQ+ youth and parental rights
Iowa is entering a new and controversial chapter as federal appeals judges recently lifted the
temporary injunction blocking the enforcement of the state’s book ban. This decision has set off
significant discussions about censorship, parental rights, and educational equity across the state. With
the ruling taking effect just before the school year starts, Iowa's public schools are now bracing for
the strict restrictions set forth by the law, also known as Senate File 496.
Backstory and Controversy
The legal disputes surrounding the book ban can be traced back to the Iowa Legislature's Republican
majorities, which passed the law and Governor Kim Reynolds signed it last year. The most
controversial elements of the law include restrictions on sexually explicit materials and prohibitions
against teachers addressing gender identity and sexual orientation for students up to sixth grade.

Supporters of the law argue it appropriately empowers parents to control what their children can
access, asserting it serves to protect children from materials deemed inappropriate.
“It should be parents who decide when and if sexually explicit books are appropriate for their
children,” said Governor Reynolds, who views the ruling as validation of parental control over
education. Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird also championed the court's decision, rejoicing at what
she called “a victory for parents,” arguing it would eliminate concerns about the content of school
lessons and library materials.”
Opposition Groups Speak Out
Opponents of the legislation, including many educators, LGBTQIA+ advocates, and concerned
parents, are voicing intense objections. They argue the law's implementation will stifle the
representation of diverse identities within educational curricula. Critics contend it not only removes
critical literature but sends harmful messages of shame and stigma to LGBTQIA+ youth. “Denying
LGBTQ+ youth the chance to see themselves represented sends a harmful message of shame and
stigma,” said attorneys from Lambda Legal, the ACLU of Iowa, and Jenner & Block, who are fighting
the law's enforcement through legal challenges.
Before the appeals court lifted the injunction, U.S. District Judge Stephen Locher had temporarily
blocked parts of the law, citing concerns over its broad language. The judge emphasized the
possibilities for confusion and misinterpretation it introduced, as it threw vague terminology like
“age-appropriate” books around without clear rules for educators and librarians.
Impact on School Libraries
Already, the discussions surrounding the ban have provoked actions from school districts. Removing
books from library shelves has become a significant issue, with some schools reportedly pulling classic
literature like Romeo and Juliet due to concerns over sexual content. The bans have seen dramatic
consequences for LGBTQ+ themed books, compounded by school administrators feeling pressured to
comply with unclear regulations.
Sam Helmick, president of the American Library Association and coordinator at Iowa City Public
Library, expressed frustration, saying, “Age-appropriate is a legally murky term, particularly when
we’ve already had laws on the books addressing sexually explicit materials. Libraries may understock
or entirely remove materials, fearing reprisals without clear guidelines.” Many library workers now
worry about the repercussions they might face if they inadvertently run afoul of the law.
Legal Battles Continue
While the state celebrates its judicial victory, many advocacy groups are not backing down. Lambda
Legal's attorney Nathan Maxwell commented, “I don’t view it as a loss; it’s more of a delay. We have
to re-present our arguments.” They intend to continue the fight by seeking to establish new
injunctions to protect students' rights and safeguard access to inclusive educational materials.
“This victory merely delays what we believe is harmful legislation,” said Becky Tayler, Executive

Director of Iowa Safe Schools, reinforcing their intent to pursue the legal battle. Activists and
advocates argue the stakes are substantial; the ruling affects marginalized communities
disproportionately, particularly those with intersecting identities, such as LGBTQIA+ youth.
Broader Implications
This legislative trend extends beyond Iowa; several states across the nation have initiated similar laws
targeting educational content dealing with race, gender, and sexuality. Critics view this not simply as
policy but as manifestations of growing cultural divides over identity politics. The tension reflects
broader societal issues, with conservative lawmakers framing such laws as parental rights protections,
even as many educators confront dilemmas around self-censorship and curriculum integrity.
The Iowa State Education Association (ISEA) responded to the ruling with disappointment. They argue
the law increases the burden on educators, forcing them to guess the boundaries of lawful content.
“Banning books burdens our educators, who will face punishment for not guessing which books fit
within undefined boundaries,” remarked ISEA leadership, indicating concerns over professionalism
and student engagement.
Looking Ahead
With the law now enforceable, school districts and educators will continue to grapple with its
consequences. Many stakeholders express alarm about the rolling back of diversity and
representation within educational contexts. Each year, students encounter literature meant to connect
them with greater empathy and diverse experiences. Removing access to such materials could
diminish their readiness to engage and understand the complex world they inhabit.
Experts are sounding alarms over the possible long-term impacts of the law, warning against fostering
environments rooted in exclusion rather than inclusivity. They predict resistance and backlash from
advocates who are eager to maintain safe, welcoming spaces for all students.
The conversation surrounding educational equity and representation is expected to evolve as this
situation plays out. Many eyes are now on Iowa, with its outcome viewed as potentially setting
precedents for educational policies across the United States. A continuous examination of how these
developments affect children’s rights to access information and discuss their identities is imperative.
Thus, as the school year resumes, Iowans will watch closely how this contentious piece of legislation
shapes its educational future.

Bookstagram — and how these platforms help with library engagement. Then, two administrators
with Iowa City Public Library, Elsworth Carman and Anne Mangano, share the lesser -known costs
behind Hoopla or Libby and what goes into making all library services as easily accessible as possible.
Later in the hour, the new American Library Association president-elect is Iowa City Public Library
librarian Sam Helmick. Helmick shares what issues they plan to pursue as president.

The Iowa City Public Library (ICPL) is proud to announce that Sam Helmick, Community & Access

Sam shared their vision for the ALA, stating, “ALA membership reinforces the transformative work of
our colleagues and profession. My experience with library workers, stakeholders, and legislators
impresses upon me the great importance of our work to build communities, dismantle inequality,
and provide a solid foundation for a brighter tomorrow. This work is done when we resource libraries
with adequate staffing, funding, as well as supportive legislation. These efforts ensure that we
continue to be a free people who read freely in the generations to come.”
Sam has been a strong advocate for library resourcing and community access to information,
embodying the principles set forth by the Library Bill of Rights, which was founded in Iowa. Their
efforts have helped to secure essential resources for libraries, e nsuring that everyone has the
opportunity to explore, learn, and grow through access to information.
Elsworth Carman, Director of the Iowa City Public Library, expressed his congratulations, “The Iowa
City Public Library celebrates Sam’s appointment as President of the American Library Association
for the 2025-2026 term. Sam's enthusiasm and deep knowledg e in the field have been invaluable to
our community, and we are confident they will bring the same level of dedication and expertise to
this national role.”
As Sam Helmick prepares to take on the role of ALA President, the Iowa City Public Library
extends its heartfelt support. We look forward to witnessing the positive changes and advancements
in library services nationwide under their leadership.

Items to be Discussed.
Strategic Planning Update. Rocklin shared the Library Board approved the Strategic Plan and now

plan. Rocklin asked what CMO stood for, and Carman replied it is the City Manager’s office. Matthews
asked if the Iowa City Public Library (ICPL) ever had issues with voting at the library. Carman said no, and
noted the only wrinkle has been because of accessible parking.
Helmick entered at 5:03 pm.

Rocklin asked if there were any more efforts to collect materials in the languages from the International
Writers Workshop. Mangano said a collection plan is in the works to determine which languages are
needed and a meeting will happen after that. Rocklin said he personally adores the project. Mangano
said there are good overlaps between ICPL and the workshop. ICPL can promote the author’s books
while they are in Iowa City; there are great possibilities.
Massa noted page 8 which states, “Increase channels for library patron feedback in the library. New
opportunities for Book End customer feedback was created via surveys at POS”. Massa asked if users fill
out a survey at home or in person. Roche said this comes from the digital receipt and there is an
opportunity to complete a survey digitally. Massa asked if Trustees could see the results of those
surveys. Roche said she has a report that could be shared with Trustees. Rocklin suggested adding it to
the next packet. Carman said staff are trying to find those point of contact opportunities to get patron
feedback. Carman said a similar thing was done with QR codes by Marketing that could be added to
digital communications.
Rocklin noted the Intranet going away and asked what the timeline for moving to Teams is. Mangano
said a year. Raeburn asked if gamify means to turn into a game. Rocklin and Carman agreed it did.
Matthews asked if Carman expected staff to have presentations at the Iowa Library Association
conference in Des Moines. Carman said there are at least two presentations and ICPL typically has
presentations every year.
Library Board of Trustees Annual Report. Carman said the annual report is submitted to the City
during the budget process and is kept on the library’s website. Carman said the Leadership Team put a
draft together to present to the Board for feedback. Rocklin said one function of the report is to serve as
a summary of the year’s Board minutes. Raeburn suggested changing the second line from “act as” to
“be”, suggested including a brief identifier of the senate and house files noted in the report, and listing
the ARPA acronym. Shultz noted some of this work seemed like it had been done a long time ago.
Rocklin noted the goal of reviewing and approving a plan for improving building space and asked if
Carman is confident we will get there in the coming year. Carman agreed and shared there is a large
upcoming CIP project slated for FY26. Carman said he budgeted for consultant money in the NOBU
request in FY25 to pay for that. Carman noted the actual work on the building will not begin until FY26.
Carman said crafting a plan this fiscal year is a priority and will be used for proposals. Rocklin requested
listing the dates of service in the report for Bonnie Boothroy and Lucy Santos Green so it is clear there
were only nine Trustees at one time.
Staff Reports
Director’s Report. Carman shared Helmick was appointed as ALA President Elect effective immediately.
Carman shared there was damage to rental space door after an incident in the PedMall. Carman said it
was cleaned and patched immediately and the custom glass that was damaged is on order to be
replaced. Carman hoped for a quick two-week turnaround. Carman noted an open house is scheduled in
the rental space and repairs may not be ready by the first week of August for the event.
Carman said the CIP (Capital Improvement Project) in the Boardroom and Meeting Room E is mostly
complete. Carman shared the paint color in the Boardroom will be revisited with the consultant work in

the coming year. It was repainted red and he will lean on that consultant’s building study to make the
color change. Carman noted the art hanging on the Boardroom wall was donated by former Library
Trustee, Janet Freeman.
Rocklin asked who was notified and by whom when the glass was broken on the door. Carman said the
police notified Brad Gehrke, Library Building Manager, who came in immediately after the area was
cleared by police. Gehrke patched the door and called the vendor who arrived by 5 am. Johnk shared an
interest in touring Facilities Services. Carman said the Facilities crew at the library is strong, and it’s great
to see them in their element and see how the back end of the library works.
Carman shared the library is experiencing water intrusion issues from the alley. A wall collapsed on the
building across the alley from the library a couple years ago, and at that time the wall and downspouts
were rebuilt. Carman will be in meetings next week about the downspout. The Facilities crew put in stop
gap measures, but an investment will need to be made for long term repair.
Departmental Reports: Adult Services. Paulios said the browsing party got great reviews and good
recommendations were made for the future. Shultz asked who is in the library house band. Paulios
shared Alyssa, Amanda, Brent, Claire, Hannah, Paul, and a guest drummer. Paulios said the band set the
atmosphere for the browsing party.
Community & Access Services. Rocklin congratulated Helmick. Johnk liked the book bike portion of
Helmick’s report, including the patron comments. Matthews clarified that children could not ride in the
book bike and Helmick agreed. Matthews suggested the children’s room could have an election with
characters from books.
President’s Report. Rocklin reported Raeburn brought to his attention that there are Trustee
committees without leadership. Rocklin asked if the finance committee could volunteer someone to
ensure meetings happen when they need to. Matthews nominated Paetzold for the Advocacy
Committee. Matthews asked if the Graphic Designer position was a new position in addition to the other
Graphic Designer or if someone left. Helmick said this position is replacing a staff person who left .

Friends Foundation Board of Directors and the Iowa City Public Library Board of Trustees is included in

transferring of funds to the NOBU budget.
Communications.
News Articles. Massa noted the news articles that outline crime happening in or around the library and
asked if the library is safe. Carman said he is confident the library is as safe as possible as a ny public

not a specific news article belongs in the packet. Carman shared we err on the side of including more.
Carman said a lot of the issues around the library impact us because we want to communicate what’s
happening with the community, and we want to keep staff and patrons as safe as possible. Carman said
we are in a state that has made decisions around the availability of weapons and that has an impact on
how people behave. Carman thinks ICPL does take appropriate measures to stay safe. Carman said
anytime an issue like the shooting in the PedMall happens the Leadership Team intentionally takes steps
to check in with staff and plan for community inquiries. Carman said there is always a lot of emotion
when things like this happen, and we care very dearly about keeping people safe. Carman said public
service has changed and will continue to change. Matthews asked if staff do ALICE training. Carman said
it was done a year ago and we are working to schedule it again this year. Carman said we also have
continual conversations about how we work with the police department and use the tools that we have.
Carman said there is a need for more social service support in our community. Raeburn asked what is
happening with reprehending the people who beat up the sleeping patron. Carman said he believes it is
still an active investigation. Carman said cameras outside the library documented the event and staff
have worked with police to help the investigation.
Consent Agenda. Matthews made a motion to approve the Consent Agenda. Johnk seconded.
Motion passed 7/0.
Set Agenda Order for August Meeting. Rocklin said the August meeting includes the 4th
quarter financials and statistics, Library Use policy, Alcohol policy, and departmental reports. Matthews
and Stevenson noted the next Board meeting is the day before school starts.
Massa noted the disbursements and asked if June was a higher month. Carman said it is a higher month
with Summer Reading Programming and there are many project deadlines as it is the end of fiscal year.
Adjournment. Rocklin adjourned the meeting at 5:35 pm.
