Iowa City Public Library Strategic Plan (FY24-FY26): 24 Month Report
July, 2025
This strategic plan update provides a report on our progress towards meeting our goals for the library and its services.
While this specific document is written for you as a roadmap of where we are, it serves as the basis for how we develop
other documents, such as an organizational annual report or updates to the City during the budgeting process.
We are now two years into a three-year strategic plan. Our progress represents a balance of continuing several long-term
initiatives and meeting new community needs. At this point, some strategies have robust updates while others will be
addressed over the upcoming fiscal year.
For this report, I included the full strategic plan in table form. New updates are highlighted with shading. New additions to
updates made in previous reports for this plan are highlighted in bold.

immigrants in West Liberty and providing a platform for the personal
experiences and contributions of local Latinas.
n "All Abilities Club" was created to provide an inclusive, enjoyable
experience for people of all ages and abilities, including those who are
neurodivergent or have intellectual or developmental disabilities. The club
offers a relaxed, welcoming environment with smaller crowds, dimmer
lighting, and a casual atmosphere. This program is offered twice a
month during the fall, winter, and spring. For summer 2025, we
provided weekly programs to an average of 60 attendees in our large
meeting room equipped with the hearing loop. We also provided
American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters when requested by
attendees.
The library assessed the feasibility of expanding library services in the
areas surrounding the South of 6 Market. While a new book drop was
deemed unsustainable in FY25 due to increased facilities staff time,
a weekly bookmobile stop is regularly scheduled at this location, as
well as three other stops serving the neighborhood.
Library staff established new, regular outreach programming at the
CommUnity Food Pantry at Pepperwood Plaza. Programs include

distribution of donated books, passive crafts, information about library
services, card registrations and renewal, reference services, and support
or library apps and digital offerings. Staff/patron interactions at these
programs increased by 77% between FY24 and FY25.
Staff launched a Book Bike web presence and regular spring schedule of
stops on the first and third Wednesdays of the month to reach new
audiences and develop new strategic partnerships. In addition, the ICPL
Friends Foundation stationed the Book Bike on several Thursdays on the
Ped Mall outside the doors of the library to provide outreach to downtown
visitors.
In spring of FY25, we added a portable hearing loop as part of our
accessibility equipment options. This special type of sound system is
designed for patrons with hearing aids that have a t-coil or hearing loop
setting. The hearing loop will broadcast the sound in the room directly to
the hearing aids. This portable device can be used in smaller meeting
spaces, such as the Board Room and Meeting Rooms B, C, D, and E. The
public can request the hearing loop system when booking a meeting
room.
The ICPL Friends Foundation's continued commitment to the snack
program resulted in a gift from the Walder Foundation, funding the
program for the next 5 years. The program provides a daily afternoon
snack to all children and teens.

In FY24, multiple library staff members presented at civic and community
group meetings to share information about library programs, materials,
services, legislation impacting public libraries, and intellectual freedom.
The library supports Kirkwood Community College's English as a Second

FY24, this partnership includes class visits for library card sign up,
building tours, and a series of "About Your Library" videos in English,

were requested and offered at numerous programs, which allowed all
attendees to fully participate.
In FY25, ICPL Friends Foundation introduced a new annual fundraiser.
Bright Future allowed sponsors and ticket buyers the opportunity to have
their donations create free tickets for community members. 250 guests

Maintain a collection that In 2024, Library staff established an ongoing partnership with the
represents diverse International Writers Workshop at the University of Iowa to collect works
experiences, opinions, and by workshop participants in the language(s) they write in. Library staff met
beliefs with UIOWA staff from the workshop as well as the University of Iowa
Libraries to discuss our needs and what the process could look like,
determining that they would ask authors to donate their books. In fall
2024, we added sixteen titles to our collection, mostly in Arabic and
Chinese, two languages that are difficult to obtain from US vendors.
Project planning for the World Languages collection commenced in Fall of
2024. Selection librarians reviewed community data and selected seven
languages to collect: Arabic, Chinese, French, Korean, Spanish, Swahili,
and Vietnamese. We wrote a plan for the collection's development,
determined cataloging standards, and shifted items in the children's room
and first floor spaces to ensure collection is more visible and accessible.
e completed the move of at the end of FY25 and added almost 400
new titles to the collection.
In FY24, Library staff worked with a University of Iowa student to analyze
eBook and audiobook use data from our digital provider to identify trends
and gaps in our collection. We reviewed this data to determine what works
well, what our patrons expect to find, and how the budget was spent,
including experimenting with different purchasing models. For FY25,
selectors updated repurchasing policies and workflows based on
balancing the materials budget and public use of materials with expiring
digital licenses. After implementing new standards, we reduced the
amount of spending on repurchasing digital content with expiring
licenses by 33%, saving over $25,000.
In June 2025, we moved the Book Club Kits and Discovery Kits to the
first-floor public areas. Before this change, library users needed to ask at

welcoming, condition, and usability of opportunities to increase accessibility of the building by applying new
accessible, and public and staff spaces Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines. In spring of 2025, we
sustainable convened a group of staff from different departments to assess the
spaces and accessibility of our digital assets, including our website, social
services media, and video content. We are working with the City's
Communications Office to meet recently released ADA guidelines for
digital content.
In 2024, we updated the furniture and technology in the Board Room and
Meeting Room E. We replaced the tables and chairs and improved the
presentation technology. We added a larger television and a table with
inputs for HDMI and electrical outlets. We scheduled the wiring of the
Board Room with a hearing loop system in the beginning of FY26.
This system aids in the projection of the sound in the room for those
with compatible hearing aids. The City funded the upgrades through
their Capital Improvement Project (CIP) funding.
In FY25, we reupholstered over 120 second-floor chairs. In May 2025, we
worked with a vendor to evaluate worn furniture in the Children's
Room and identified priorities for replacement for FY26.
We updated the Board Book shelving unit in the Ellen Buchanan
Children's Room and placed it in a new location in the room in FY25. The
old unit was at end-of-life and the design was no longer compatible with
the collection and the users of this collection.

Library. Congratulations, Sam!
Open Records and Open Meetings Law Update
This past legislative session, changes were made to Iowa Code Chapter 21 (through House File 706),
which covers open records and meetings. The law now requires all members of boards and
commissions, including the Library's Board of Trustees, to complete training on open records and
meetings. While the requirement is for Board members appointed after July 1" of this year, the City
Council will most likely direct all current members to attend the training.
The City Attorney recommends training provided by the Iowa Public Information Board (IPIB). The
next session is Tuesday, August 26t" at 5:00pm. Please let Jen Royer or I know if you are able to
attend.
• The training runs about 90 minutes.
• We are happy to register you for the session or you may register yourself at:
https://ipib.iowa.gov/events/ipib-trainingq newly-el ected-and-ap pointed-off icials-august-26.
Please let us know if you self-register.
• The training is virtual and can be viewed at home. If you need assistance, please let me know
and we'll set up a viewing station for you at the library.
• Once you complete the training, the IPIB will issue you a certificate. We must have this
certificate for filing at the City Clerk.
AgendaIOWA CITY
PUBLIC
IPIB states they will conduct the training quarterly. If you are unable to attend the August 26tn
training, there are two offerings in September:
• Wednesday, September 101", 12:OOpm-1:30pm
• Wednesday, September 24t", 5:OOpm-6:30pm
Other organizations, like the State Library, may offer training in the future.
The bill also significantly increases penalties for violations of Iowa's open meetings law. Fines for
those members found to inadvertently committed violations increased to a range of $500 - $2,500,
while penalties for knowing violations increased to a range of $5,000 - $12,500. The City Attorney
strongly advises that the Board does not go into a closed session unless an attorney from that office
issues a memo authorizing the closed session or provides an opinion at the meeting and on record
that the closed session is warranted.
We will provide updates as more information and training materials are provided by the State.
Save the Date: Board Recognition Event
Please join us on Tuesday, August 5t" to honor our 2025 outgoing board members, DJ Johnk, Hannah
Shultz, & Tom Rocklin. The event will take place from 5:30pm to 7:OOpm in Meeting Room A at the Iowa
City Public Library. Dinner will be catered and attendees are welcome to bring a guest.
Portable Hearing Loop
The Library now offers a portable hearing loop as part of our
accessibility equipment options. This special type of sound
system is designed for patrons with hearing aids that have a t-
coil or hearing loop setting. The hearing loop will broadcast
the sound in the room directly to the hearing aids. This
portable device can be used in smaller meeting spaces, such as
the Board Room and Meeting Rooms B, C, D, and E.
When the public books a meeting room on our website, they
can request the portable hearing loop on the form. More -- _
information about this equipment can be found on
icpl.org/accessibility.
A hearing loop system is directly wired into Meeting Room A and the Storytime Room. For patrons
that do not have hearing aids compatible with the hearing loop system, we offer headphone sets.
Our next step is to install a permanent hearing loop system in the Board Room, which will pick up the
sound of speakers around the table and on the sides of the room, capturing more voices in meetings.
The installation is scheduled for the middle of August. Bond Drager, our AV specialist, oversaw this
project to make our meeting spaces more accessible.
Agenda
PUBLIC LIBRARY
Digital/Website Accessibility Work
Library staff are reviewing our digital offerings, including our website and app, to meet updated
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines for local governments. In 2024, the Justice
Department set new technical requirements for state and local public entities to ensure government
websites and mobile apps are accessible to people with disabilities. Website accessibility examples
include providing text-based descriptions for images and multimedia, captions for video and
transcripts for audio, providing keyboard functionality, using clear and plain language, and supporting
the use of assistive technologies, such as screen readers.
Our web specialist, Alyssa Hanson is well-versed on accessibility best practices and incorporated many
Website Accessibility Initiative (WAI) guidelines into our current site. The federal government is using
suggested standards created by the WAI. A team of library staff are reviewing the full standards,
auditing our website, app, and third-party sites, to ensure we fully comply. Our website review is part
of a larger City of Iowa City initiative to comply with the new guidelines. The new rules go into effect
April 24, 2026.
2025 Iowa Library Association Conference
Registration is open for this year's Iowa Library Association Conference (ILA). The conference takes
place Wednesday, October 1st through Friday, October 3rd in Sioux City and centers on the theme
"Libraries: The Heart of Iowa Communities."
The ILA conference is an opportunity to share best practices and information, explore new projects at
other libraries, and connect with people throughout our state. Keynote speakers include Dorcas Hand,
author of "Strengthening Library Ecosystems: Collaborate for Advocacy and Impact," and Bob
Leonard, former Knoxville Public Library board member who writes a Substack newsletter about
library advocacy. Session topics include library space design and artificial intelligence. More
information can be found at https://www.iowaIibraryassociation.org/.
Please let Jen Royer know if you are interested in attending.

We're currently at a lower completion rate for the Summer Reading Program for adults and teens compared to
this time last year. Although the reading program completions are trending lower, we had healthy attendance
numbers for adult and teen programs in June. 172 adults and 392 teens attended ICPL-sponsored events last
month.

Attendance
I haven't had much time with the Fiscal Year reports yet but programming statistics look like an early candidate
for a deeper dive. We were able to increase attendance for adults while offering similar total program numbers
and only saw a slight decrease in teen attendance despite offering fewer events, saving staff time.
The third annual Adult Day Camp was held on Saturday, July 12th with all registration spots filled. Adult Services
Programmers, Beth, Candice, and Stacey provided a full day of events for the adult campers. This year's camp
featured a hum-along, a Perseid meteor presentation, sidewalk chalking, crafts, and a dirty soda bar (a beverage
station that allowed attendees to create their soda concoctions). All the event feedback forms showed that
attendees felt the event positively enriched their life and included something new that they will use. Comments

Community Events
The Iowa City Public Library was honored to take part in the Iowa City Pride Parade,joining
community members in a joyful celebration of love, respect, and togetherness. About two dozen
Library staff members participated, walking with signs that read "Welcome to All" to share a message
that everyone is valued and has a place at the Library. It was a meaningful way to connect with the
community and show that the Library is a space where all are truly welcome.

and Kanopy, based on existing vendor contracts. Rocklin said the restrictions are not content based.
Raeburn said this wasn't clear when reading the policy and Rocklin agreed it was obscure as it refers to
the memorandum of agreement. Paetzold asked if the terms of the agreement change, should the
policy be as specific, noting trustees would need to update it every time the terms or MOU adjusted.
Paetzold noted the MOU has limits on what can be checked out with AIM cards and they come from the
school system. Raeburn said the library is the enforcer of these rules and it needs to be clear in the
policy. Paetzold said things have changed over time with state laws and rules about minors. There was
discussion about limitations with the AIM card. Mangano said students can check out anything in the
library in a print format. Paetzold asked if the AIM card was a point of contention with legislation
regarding school districts. Mangano stated it was discussed, but the school district says the card is 'opt
in' by the parents or guardians at the point of registration. Mangano said the AIM cards are issued
through the Iowa City Community School District and can be used at several local libraries, including
North Liberty and Coralville. Mangano said other school districts outside of ourjurisdiction partner with
their local libraries, noting Cedar Rapids Public Library has a program with their school district as well.
Birla entered the meeting at 5:08 PM.
Shultz said the policy should be left as it is worded. Shultz reasoned if the MOU were to change, the
current policy wouldn't need updating.
Raeburn asked what At Home service is. Mangano explained it is a service patrons can sign up for if they
are unable to come into the Library or Bookmobile and materials will be mailed to them. Mangano said
return postage is also sent so patrons can mail the materials back. Raeburn asked about At Home cards
and self-registration cards. Raeburn noted there is language in the policy that isn't plain language and
emphasized the importance of making sure the language is clear to everyone. Mangano explained self-
registration cards are when patrons sign up for a library card online. Patrons are given temporary access
to check out library materials until proof of address has been confirmed in person.
Raeburn noted on page 6 there is language that refers to a service model ending with 'landscape
analysis of community health'. Raeburn asked what that meant. Rocklin said it is in 801.17. Mangano
thought it was language added during COVID. Raeburn proposed replacing 'landscape analysis' with
'according to protocols of community health.' Paetzold asked if it was limited only to health
emergencies in the community.
Johnk entered the meeting at 5:13 PM.
Rocklin asked if trustees would agree to remove the phrase 'landscape analysis of community health'
when approving the policy and there was consensus. Massa made a motion to approve policy 801
Circulation Library Card with the removal of landscape analysis. Shultz seconded. Motion passed 6/0,
Johnk abstained.
Policy Review: 806 Meeting Room and Lobby Use. Rocklin said this policy is also proposed with no
changes. Mangano said there was an extensive policy revision in 2021, and it was reviewed again a year
later in 2022. Boothroy made a motion to approve policy 806 Meeting Room and Lobby Use. Johnk
seconded. Motion passed 7/0.
Raeburn suggested one change to 806.17, changing the word 'rules' to 'means'. Rocklin asked if there

was any opposition to changing the word rules to means. There was none. Rocklin said by acclimation
the policy was adopted.
Adopt NOW Budget. Rocklin said the next item was to adopt the non-operating budget, which is used
to pay for operating expenses but is the non-city budget. Rocklin said the Library Board has a great deal
of discretion as to how that money is used. Mangano said the operating budget is set for FY26, and the
Board is being asked to look at the non-operating budget priorities for FY26. Mangano said it is a large
request noting ICPL agreed to cover some funds for the CIP carpet replacement and the second half of
the building consultant. Mangano shared she asked to tap into two reserve funds on the NOBU request,
the balance of Enrich Iowa COVID money (the state removed the obligation to spend the funds in that
fiscal year due to COVID) and the balance of the interest account. Prior to 2018 interest accrued on gifts
and bequests from the Foundation were saved in the interest account. Since 2018 the interest has been
kept with the gifts and bequests.
Paetzold asked if the library uses the reserve accounts what would be available in a facility emergency.
Mangano said the library would be okay. Paetzold said little bits of money help when there are bedbugs
or sewage backups. Mangano said the library is in a secure place with gift accounts, and an updated
balance will be available in September.
Raeburn asked how the Friends Foundation gift is calculated. Mangano said there is a memorandum of
understanding provided each year by the Foundation. Mangano said the Foundation will increase the
gift by 2.5% for the next five years, and the new MOU will be available next month. Rocklin said trustees
would be spending down money that won't get refilled, but noted these are one-time expenses and he
was comfortable with that. Mangano said they are investments in the future. Shultz made a motion to
approve the NOBU budget. Johnk seconded. Motion passed 7/0.
Staff Reports.
Interim Director's Report. Mangano noted the discussion on administrative policies in the report.
Mangano said as part of the interim period she's looking at updating procedural policies. Mangano
noted the library is a couple versions behind the City of Iowa City Purchasing Policy, and that is an easy
thing to update. Mangano said the Library Board's Finance policy states that the library adopts the
current purchasing policies of the city. Mangano noted there are other city policies that are
administrative that ICPL has not adopted. Mangano said there are good reasons for that, including
board autonomy and library confidentiality. Mangano asked the Board for their guidelines or philosophy
when she's approaching City policy adoption. Mangano outlined a few considerations in her report such
as board autonomy and patron rights to access materials and services, but also noted the importance of
following best practices with the experts at the city. Mangano said it is very difficult to receive advice
from experts at the city when we have different policies than them.
Rocklin said at various points as Board President he consulted with HR and legal. Rocklin stated it would
make sense to have policies in place so that Mangano can say my board wants me to follow your
policies, can you advise me on how to do that. Paetzold noted there are times when the library isn't
going to follow their policies. Rocklin agreed, noting the importance of protecting board autonomy, but
said there are times when we don't need a separate policy from the city such as the purchasing policy.
Paetzold said we do need to put purchasing through a different approval channel. Paetzold said the

purchasing policy came up this month when looking at signing a contract, and our ceilings were
different, and we were frozen because of it. Paetzold said there are benefits but is cautious to say the
library would use city policies as a whole. Paetzold gave the example of setting salaries, where trustees
have greater autonomy. Rocklin said policy would need to be reviewed policy by policy. Mangano said
for the purchasing policy we have language we could put at the beginning of the document outlining
our approval process: when it lists City Council, it's Library Board, when it lists City Manager, it is Library
Director. Massa said when we're discussing finance policy what does that mean as it is very broad.
Mangano said the Board has a Finance policy that discusses the different funds and the authority the
Board has over them. Mangano said the purchasing policy states when to make a request for proposals
(RFP), when to only ask for quotes, who has authority to make purchases at certain dollar amounts, etc.
Massa said every city policy is going to go through the city attorney. Massa felt library HR policies
should mirror city HR policies, noting employment law changes frequently. Paetzold asked if they should
mirror or be parallel. Paetzold said it is important the Library Director is not under a political structure.
Rocklin liked Mangano's suggestion of substituting Library Director for City Manager where appropriate
so it would be a parallel policy to the city with minor tweaks.
Boothroy noted the second bullet in the list of considerations seems to be in a slightly different
category. Boothroy asked Mangano to explain her thought in listing protecting patron rights to access
materials and library services. Mangano said she was thinking mainly about IT infrastructure, noting the
library has its IT department very separate from the city. Mangano said public computers are the
library's and are not under the same network as the police.
Mangano noted the library is normally open for the Downtown Block Party and due to staffing needs,
the library would be closing at 6 pm. Paetzold asked if the facilities staff would have restrooms closed
and Mangano agreed.
Mangano said there will be changes to the State Historical Society Library in Iowa City, moving to an
"appointment only" system beginning July 9t". Mangano is anticipating a full closure of that facility, and
the collection moving to Des Moines. Mangano said the State Historical Society Library has been open
to the public in Iowa City before there was an Iowa City Public Library. Mangano said ICPL staff refer
patrons there for research regularly, it has a rich collection of Johnson County and Iowa City history and
will be a huge loss. Rocklin wondered if there were any local history items that could be moved to ICPL.
Mangano said there has been no discussion, but staff could ask for a response on what will happen with
the collection items. Mangano said ICPL has not developed a local history collection because the State
Historical Society Library was in Iowa City. Massa asked if other libraries carry local history or if ICPL is
unique because of its location to the state library. Mangano said quite a few libraries maintain local
history collections. Massa felt that might be desirable. Paetzold asked if items might belong to the
county historical society, noting they might be more skilled at preservation. Mangano said the ICPL
building, staff, and collection policy are not currently set up for maintain historical documents. Rocklin
said it would be a whole new service. Paetzold said the concern is the human labor cost. Rocklin said it is
hard to imagine what could be given up in order to do that.
Mangano said three new board members were oriented.
Mangano said Sam Helmick will be inaugurated as ALA President on Monday, with a community

celebratory event at ICPL on Wednesday, July 23rd.
Departmental Reports: Children's Services. Pilkington absent. Johnk said the Lucha Libre event was a
good idea. Mangano said there were 300 kids who attended the reptile program that morning and
another 125 for the afternoon showing.
Collection Services. Rocklin thanked Paul Bethke. Paetzold asked who would be replacing him on the
Bookmobile. Mangano said the hire has not been made yet.
IT. Palmer absent. Rocklin shared interest in tabletop exercise and said it was a good thing to do.
Development Report. Roche absent. Rocklin said he was excited that Bright Future 2026 has been
scheduled. Johnk shared the book sale having vinyl for sale was awesome. Johnk asked if ICPL has
considered adding vinyl to the library collection. Mangano said it was discussed, but the collection
maintenance is a barrier.
President's Report. Rocklin said the Library Bylaws have references to committee meetings, and at
the time of the last policy revision committee meetings weren't considered a public body that needed to
hold open meetings. Rocklin said that understanding has changed and the Bylaws need to reflect this.
Rocklin said right now the Board is transitioning and it isn't the best time to do a Bylaw review. Rocklin
said there is nothing in the Bylaws until January or February that says the President shall appoint a
committee, so there is some time. Rocklin would recommend that as something for the Board to take on
in the fall.
Rocklin said he was pleased to be part of the orientation of the new board members and that Mangano
did a greatjob. Rocklin shared there will be three great new colleagues to work with. Rocklin expressed
appreciation for serving as President and for his time on the Library Board. Rocklin shared he learned a
lot, met members of the community he would not have, and has a new concept of what libraries are
even after being a lifetime user.
Announcements from Members.
Foundation Updates. None.

Johnk expressed a heartfelt thanks. Johnk was proud of the past six years' work, and for being in a room

LATE HANDOUTS - THE
FOLLOWING DOCUMENTS
WERE DISTRIBUTED AT
THE MEETING
Strategic Plan Review
4A 2(item 4). Sentence. "While a new book drop . needs rewriting for clarity. "White
establishing a book drop proved unfeasible because at its dependence on routine facilities
staff maintenance,this location is already served by the Bookmobile and three additional
nearby stops in the neighborhood..
4A--3(item 1)Substitute a whole number for the percentage;there's no base for the
percentage and so a reader cannot puzzle out the intensity of the77% increase in these
staff/patron interactions.
I'd also suggest tidying up the Annual Report for diction and usage.
Third item in"specific list of legal responsibilities," For the sake of consistency there
should be a semi-colon(rather than a comma)following"City Council.
In item 1 of the"Accomplishments"section,"values"should be tower case.
In item 2 substitute"process "for"work."
Reorganizing for logical procession a few of the items in the accomplishments section. The
present#4 ought to be#2,the current 42 would then become#3;and the current#3 would
become#4. in other wards,the order ought to be: evaluation of the director; his
resignation and the subsequent need for a new director;and the appointment of the
interim director.
Did the Board welcome three new members in FY25? I understood that their terms began
on July 1,the first day of FY26
In Item 7 them:should be a semi-colon fallowing"The Iowa City Book Festival"and
preceding"and One Book:' I'd also suggest a slight emendation of the latter, i.e., "and the
One Book/Two Bq-0<children's book festival"
In item 9 would it be more accurate or expressive to say"Set for"established"?]the FY26
building maintenance calendar"?
Item 11, prat"the"before"non-operating budget,"and then after that substitute"which in
Fiscal 26 supported a diversity of initiatives that included purchase of library materials [or
would"circulating materials"be ctearer?], hiring a building consultant, replacing worn
carpeting, supporting staff well-being, and funding Library programming."
