FY27 Budget Request Memo
Prepared for the October 23, 2025
Meeting of the Library Board of Trustees
Anne Mangano, Library Director
FY27 Budget Request
Attached is our proposed FY27 budget for your approval. The next step is to submit to the City, which
is due at the end of the month. As in previous years, I shared two versions of the budget for your
convenience:
• The Budget in Brief report is a library -wide overview of our request by fund type: personnel,
supplies, charges & capital expenditures. The Budget in Brief provides a five-year comparison
of the proposed budget with previous years' expenditures and our current FY26 budget.
• The City of Iowa City Department Budget Requests (MUNIS) is a full line -by-line, granular view
of the budget request with anticipated revenue sources and funding requests by department.
Some lines, like chargebacks and personnel are imputed by the City.
There are several areas where we are seeking funding increases:
Supplies
Sanitation supplies: Cost increases and more public building use led to overages in our expenditures
last fiscal year. We are asking for a 20% increase to ensure we purchase essential maintenance
supplies, such as toilet paper, paper towels, tissues, garbage bags, and soap and other cleansers.
Furnishing R&M Services: We requested additional funds to purchase new tables and chairs for
Meeting Room D. Several of the tables and chairs are broken.
Miscellaneous processing supplies: While the report shows a 59% increase in processing supplies for
the collection, we propose moving the budget allocated for RFID tags to this line. RFID tags, a
collection supply, are currently listed as a capital expense, despite spending less than $7,000 per year.
It was originally posted under capital expenses during a project to retag the entire collection of
260,000 items.
Charges and Services
Consultants, other professional services: We are asking for a 17% increase in the consultancy budget
to pay for services related to researching for and creating a new strategic plan as well as cover
professional services for cybersecurity and data integrity.
Training & education: Registration costs for professional conferences, webinars, and other training
opportunities increased in price. The FY27 request reflects what we paid in FY24 and will allow us to
continue to provide valuable training for our staff.
Building repair & maintenance: We asked for a significant increase to cover the maintenance of aging
building infrastructure, including our HVAC, boiler, plumbing, and electrical systems; many of the
repairs are unexpected and unplanned. This request allows us to respond. With the HVAC roof -top
replacement (Capital Improvement project) scheduled for 2030, we will need to pay for repairs
through the operating budget.
Materials processing & maintenance: Moving to a new vendor for value-added services provided by
Baker and Taylor, such as jacketing, labeling, and MARC records will require more funds to cover
expected increases in costs.
Library Materials
We requested a modest increase in the materials budget, about $11,000 or 1.5% increase from FY26.
While we expect costs for print materials to rise with the selection of a new vendor (see Collection
Services Department Report), our staff significantly reduced costs for digital collection repurchasing
by adopting new guidelines. This proposed budget should cover the expected price points for
materials.
Capital Improvement Project Update: HVAC Replacement
On September 26t", Jen Royer and I attended the Capital Improvement Project (CIP) review meeting at
the City. We submitted a project to replace seven roof -top units in our HVAC system as discussed in the
September Board packet. We proposed a multi -year replacement approach, replacing two to three units
over a three-year period, prioritizing the ones showing the most wear and tear.
While our proposed project survived the first round of funding priorities, the project was consolidated
to a one-year project slated for 2030. The City Manager's Office also increased the funding for the
project to $1,000,000.

Library Expenditures Quarter One, FY26 Update
Prepared for the October 23, 2025
Meeting of the Library Board of Trustees
Anne Mangano, Library Director
This FY26 first quarter update highlights spending associated with budget lines that are either over
40% spent or under 10% and have a line value (revised budget or expenditures) of $10,000 or more.
Some lines are spent above or below those benchmarks but represent smaller allocations of funds.
The Library Materials lines are excluded from this list, since that budget is intentionally allocated in a
single budget category and spent through 16 distinct lines for state reporting.
Compared with previous years, this quarter's expenses are in line with where we should be. For the
most part, the same lines from last year appear as over and underspent below. Mainly expenditure
lines are overspent because we pay for something at the beginning of the year and underspent
because we pay for it later.
I did not include the overall Library Materials line, shown as 22% spent, but I am watching it. It is a
few percentage points lower than normal, which is reasonable considering we haven't received
materials ordered through our principal vendor (see the Collection Services Department report). I
imagine we will catch up with spending as we move to other vendors to fulfill orders.

Director's Report
Prepared for the October 23, 2025
Meeting of the Library Board of Trustees
Anne Mangano, Library Director
Iowa Library Association Conference
Alyssa Hanson, Katie Roche, and I attended the Iowa Library Association Conference in Sioux City from
Wednesday, October V to Friday, October 3rd. There were several sessions I attended that proved
valuable to our work at Iowa City. I learned about the process Cedar Rapids used to gather public input
for their new west side branch, especially how they connected with new audiences. Wendy Johnson
from the Carroll Public Library reviewed best practices for documenting processes and procedures to
ensure smooth transitions for new hires. I also attended sessions on fandom programming at West Des
Moines and the ethics of using artificial intelligence as an information source.
There was a focus on the value of intellectual freedom. We had the opportunity to view "The Librarians,"
a documentary that highlights the experiences of school librarians in Texas, Florida, and New Jersey. As
they are pressured to remove specific titles from the shelves, the film explores the broader implications
for libraries and the role that they play. There was a Q&A with the producer and documentary
participants. The film will premiere on February 9t", 2026 on PBS's Independent Lens. Other intellectual
freedom sessions included reviewing policies and advocating for library values.
The keynote speaker, retired school librarian Dorcas Hand, discussed the importance of library eco-
systems in communities. She argued that public, school, and academic libraries work together to create
lifetime learners and readers. It is important that these libraries work together to support each other's
missions and build public awareness on how libraries operate. She discussed ways to create a "culture of
support" and highlighted success stories in her native Texas.
Alyssa Hanson, our web specialist, represented Iowa City in the schedule. Alyssa presented the privacy
and security benefits of using a password management system. Next year, Cedar Rapids will host the
Iowa Library Association conference.
Building Space Planning Update: Public Session
On Monday, September 29t", principal architect Joe Huberty from Engberg Anderson held a session to
gather public feedback on how participants use library spaces and what services they would like to see
at the library. Participants also responded to some architectural concepts, such as a larger community
gathering space and an expanded children's area. A little over thirty people attended the session.
We compiled and discussed the feedback. My key takeaway from this session was that we need a better
balance of expanding the children's area while ensuring the adult collection continues to have a strong
presence on the first floor. There were some specific requests from the session, including an art gallery.
I am looking at this session as merely a kickoff. I think we need to take the next couple of months and
find ways to gather more feedback, especially out in the community. We are working on a plan to do
just that. This feedback will form the basis of a long-term building space plan and a new strategic plan.
Carpeting Project
This fiscal year, we budgeted funds from the Capital Improvement Plan and nonoperating budget to
replace the carpet in the public areas of the library. As part of our contract with Engberg Anderson to
review building spaces, we engaged them to help plan the recarpeting project. On September 291", Joe
Huberty and Isela Catania met with coordinators to discuss carpet choices and go over a preliminary
project timeline.
We selected a highly durable carpet to explore pricing and installation patterns. We plan to pair that
carpet with a luxury vinyl flooring (LVT) in the Storytime Room and Teen Center for easier cleanup after
craft activities. Despite its "luxury" name, commercial and public buildings use this vinyl flooring
because it more durable, more resistance to dents and scratches, and easier to install. On Monday,
October 13t", Isela reviewed expected costs for our flooring choices, installation, and the moving of
shelves and furniture. The projection came within the budgeted funds. Her projected costs included a
significant allowance for unexpected issues, such as wall repair.
She also reviewed a draft timeline for the project:
• November: Engberg Anderson presents the carpeting project at the Board meeting
• December: Library releases a request for proposals to accept bids from contractors on the
materials, installation, and moving furniture/shelves
• January: Library selects contractor; Board approves contract at January meeting
• April —September: Carpet installation
Installing the carpet during the summer months is not ideal. A significant portion of our collection use
and program attendance occurs during this time. However, my goal is to start the project before the
end of the fiscal year to secure the Capital Improvement Plan funding.
We plan to install the carpet in stages, so we will not close the building to the public; portions of the
building will remain open. Library staff are looking at alternative ways to offer core services, including
holding programs in Meeting Room A (recently recarpeted and not part of this project), moving key
collections to areas not under construction to provide access, and expanding a paging service for items
not readily available for the public. As we firm up these plans, we will share information with you, as well
as work on a plan to inform the public.
Roadtrip Nation
On Monday, September 29t", the PBS series Roadtrip Nation filmed a segment at ICPL. The series
explores careers by giving people the opportunity to interview experts in their field. In this instance,
three people interested in librarianship received a tour of the building and the bookmobile and
interviewed our very own Sam Helmick. We do not have a specific date for the airing of this library -
related episode but will share that information once it is finalized.
Libraries as Democracy Builders: Funding, Freedom, and Civic Engagement
Last month, Sam Helmick partnered with the League of Women Voters to present on the importance
of libraires as civic institutions. A link to the presentation is below:

Ellen Buchanan Children's Room Updates
Earlier this month, we added two new play structures and a dozen new toys for
children to enjoy during their library visits. Along with the new computer stools
that were installed in late September, these additions mark the first updates to
the room in nearly a decade!
A question I often hear is, "Why does the library have toys?" The simple answer
is that babies and young children use the library differently than adults, so why
not let them play while surrounded by books?
Libraries provide play spaces as part of our commitment to early learning,
literacy, and community engagement. Play is essential to child development,
helping children build language, social, and problem -solving skills that prepare
them for reading and future school success. Offering toys makes the library a
welcoming, family -friendly space where caregivers can connect, browse, or
read with their children in a relaxed environment.
Through pretend fruit & veggies, blocks, and imaginative play structures like our new truck, children learn
through hands-on exploration and creativity. In addition, library play areas promote access to all families,
regardless of background or resources. Safe, educational play experiences extend learning beyond the books we
offer.
By refreshing the space with new toys keeps, our
Children's Room is engaging and safe. Removing worn
items, invites families to visit more often, and encourages
them to stay longer. Children are always excited to see
what's new!
A huge thank you to Brad and Joel, who spent much of a
Wednesday assembling our new Bookmobile play
structure and shelves. Your hard work helps keep our
library a vibrant and welcoming place for everyone!
Fall Programming
It is officially fall in the Children's
Room. We've seen great turnout
and usage of the children's
programs and the department.
We added an additional day of
after school programming in
response to community
feedback. Kids Club after school
programs are now on Mondays,
Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.
Added programs are Sketching
Club, Gameon Club, and starting
next week D & D Club.
Partnerships & Outreach
The Children's Department Staff have attended several community outreach events lending our expertise and
fun activities to the Downtown District Gallery Walk, Bone Dash, Sensory Scare Fair, Indigenous Peoples Day,
and Horn Elementary Fall Reading. Coming up, we'll be at the Parks and Rec Halloween Carnival and Jack Splat.

Anne Mangano, Library Director
Library Vendor Collapse
Our main collection vendor, Baker and Taylor, is going out of business. At a company meeting held on
Monday, October 6t", the CEO Aman Kochar stated that Baker and Taylor was "unsuccessful in seeking
a path to continue its business operations." ' The company plans to completely close by the end of
the calendar year. On the same day, the company laid off over 250 employees at a distribution center
in Momence, Illinois, including cataloging and processing staff. This distribution center served the
Midwest region, including Iowa City. It is unlikely we will receive anything we have on order with the
company (over 1,000 open orders). This is a huge loss for us as a library and the fallout will negatively
impact our staff and our patrons.
Baker and Taylor:
• Supplies most of our print books and some DVD and Blu-ray items
• Provides processing for our physical collections
o they place bookjacket covers on hardcover books and laminate covers on paperbacks
o they recase and provide specialized graphics for DVDs and Blu-rays
o they create and apply call number labels for items in several collections, including new
fiction, young adult fiction, chapter books, picture books, readers, and board books
• Submits MARC records for our preprocessed collections, allowing us to batch import records
with supplied call numbers
In FY25, Baker and Taylor supplied 84% of the print items added to the collection.
What does this mean for us?
Short term:
• Patrons will experience longer waiting times. We are shifting our orders to our secondary
vendors. However, a significant number of libraries are scrambling to move their orders to
these same vendors. We are seeing additional delays as these vendors strain to meet this new
demand.
• It will take us a longer to get items on the shelves. Baker and Taylor processed many of our
new materials. They were shipped to us with protective covers and labelled. Collection Services
workflows are tied to these services. Over the last fifteen years, we shifted hours away from
cataloging and processing and relied on our vendors to complete this work. We have some
processing services set up with other companies, but not to the extent we have with Baker and
Taylor. While we work with other vendors to set up these services, we will complete all

cataloging and processing in-house. It will take more time to process and catalog collection
items.
Long term:
• We need to determine a new physical collections vendor. The amount of operating funds
dedicated to collection development requires a contract for purchasing. Baker and Taylor was a
State Library supplier, determined through a request for proposal (RFP) process in 2020. Like
many libraries in Iowa, we used that state contract, "piggybacking" per our purchasing
procedures. Using the state's contract allowed us to receive the same services and
advantageous discount rates. I contacted the State Library to see if they will put out an RFP or
if we need to do this ourselves; there is no plan at the state -level to identify a new vendor.
We will need to identify a secondary and perhaps a third vendor. To ensure we have more
options available if a single vendor faces fulfillment issues, we need to ensure we have multiple
backup vendors. While sole -supplier contracts are financially beneficial with discounts and
outlined services, a single vendor comes with vulnerabilities from supply -chain disruptions to
cyberattacks to marketplace consolidations. We've experienced fulfillment slowdowns for
several reasons over the past couple of years and now we have lost an entire supplier.
Additional vendors allow us to be nimbler and more responsive. There is hope amongst library
professional groups that several companies are interested in entering the library distribution
marketplace, but time will tell if any new options come to fruition.
Many public libraries are in the same boat as us. Baker and Taylor is the largest public library supplier
in the country. This closure is incredibly disruptive. A big thank you to our Collection Services staff and
selection librarians in finding solutions and doing the work to get books into our community as
quickly as possible.
Information Technology Department Report

Brent Palmer, IT Coordinator
Windows 10 End of Life
Windows 10 is reaching the end of its life this month. IT staff are busy upgrading or replacing
Windows 10 computers in both the staff and the public areas. After this month, Microsoft will no
longer provide security updates, technical support, or new features for the operating system. One
of the main cornerstones of our cybersecurity program is making sure that all workstations are
updated quickly.
Public Internet Upgrades
The IT department is starting to deploy new public Internet computers on the 2nd floor of the
Library. The last time that we upgraded these computers was in 2015. They have held up pretty
well, but we are beyond the standard refresh interval for IT equipment. We held off replacement
for some time with the idea that we would time the upgrade with carpet renovations and public
furniture replacements. But the Windows 11 timeline has preempted that. The new public Internet
hardware is not too different from what we had before, but users will notice improvements in
performance. The screens can be adjusted up and down which was a requested feature from
patrons. The new machines don't have a DVD player built in, but patrons can check out players
from the page station and plug them in. As you can imagine, the headphone jacks get a lot of
use. The new ones have external headphone jacks that can be more easily replaced.
ILA Presentation
Web Specialist Alyssa Hanson, presented at the Iowa
Library Association Conference this month about the
importance of password management. Her presentation
aimed at helping other library staff get over the hurdle of
starting to use password managers. Not only do they offer
security benefits, but password managers are also a great
tool for succession planning, for streamlining account
access, and for saving you time so staff can focus on more
important tasks. She summarized the basic features of a
password manager and how to use them. She also
differentiated good and bad practices for keeping online
accounts safe.
Development Department Report

Katie Roche, Development Director
Winter Window — a focus on community giving
IOWA CITY
PUBLIC LIBRARY
FRIENDS
FOUNDATION
In this edition of the Iowa City Public Library newsletter, led by Development Director Katie Roche,
readers are invited into a story of generosity, community growth, and cultural connection. At its heart
is a feature on longtime Iowa City residents Ellen and John Buchanan, whose deep commitment to
education, the arts, and public service culminated in a $500,000 lifetime gift to the Library. Originally
intended as a bequest, the Buchanans chose to contribute during their lifetimes, allowing them to
witness the impact of their philanthropy through the Ellen Buchanan Children's Room. Their story is
one of resilience and passion: John, a New Yorker with Iowa farming roots, became a successful
entrepreneur and educator, while Ellen, a beloved local broadcaster and Library Board leader, brought
stories to life for children through her puppetry and programming.
As the community reflects on the Buchanans' legacy,
it also looks forward to new beginnings through the
ICPL Seed Library. Housed in a repurposed file
cabinet, this initiative offers free seeds and
educational resources to encourage home
gardening. Families can take up to five packets each
month and are encouraged to return unused seeds
to keep the program sustainable. No library card is
required. Supported by local partners like Grow
Johnson County and Seed Savers Exchange, the Seed
Library not only promotes sustainability but also
connects patrons with books and materials on seed
saving and garden planning.
The Library's commitment to accessibility and
community enrichment is further explored in a
message from Director Anne Mangano, who
shares reflections on the year's progress and
continued growth. As the new director, this gives
Anne an opportunity to introduce herself to the
community, thank the community for using the
Library, and for their support of the Foundation,
allowing the ICPL Friends Foundation to support a wide variety of Library programs.
The World Languages collection is also highlighted. Guided by local school and census data, the
Library expanded offerings in Arabic, Chinese, French, Korean, Spanish, Swahili, and Vietnamese. In
collaboration with the University of Iowa's International Writing Program, ICPL integrates global
voices onto its shelves —through both author visits and book donations. This thoughtful collection
development approach also invites local authors to contribute works of literary or community
significance, helping to preserve and elevate Iowa City's stories. Materials not added to the collection
are passed along to the ICPL Friends Foundation, whose Book End resale store helps fund library
programming and services.
This spirit of giving and community is embodied in the legacy of Candace Noble, whose nearly
$200,000 bequest to the ICPL Friends Foundation will support the Library for generations to come. A
passionate educator and frequent patron, Candace believed deeply in the power of access, culture,
and lifelong learning. Her story now continues through the lives enriched by her gift.
The newsletter concludes by honoring the many donors who supported the Library in the past
year, spotlighting local teens at the Koza Family Teen Center, and offering a glimpse into upcoming
events, including Bright Future, a celebration of the
Library scheduled for Saturday, April 11. With every
story shared and every seed planted, the Iowa City
Public Library continues to grow as a place of
connection, inspiration, and transformation.

Iowa library Association Government Affairs Committee (GAC) legislative
Priorities
Each year the Iowa Library Association Government Affairs IOWA
Committee (GAC) releases the Iowa Library Association's Legislative LIBILA RARY
Priorities as approved by membership during their annual meeting A IATIC"I
at annual conference in October.
Each year in February/March, the Iowa Library Association holds a reception in the State Capitol's Law
Library. This time is an opportunity for members to reach out to legislators in person and discuss
library -relevant issues and legislation that impacts library funding. That information will be shared
here at the top of the new calendar year.
2025 Iowa Library Association Legislative Priorities
The Iowa Library Association (ILA) advocates at local, state, and federal levels for support and
programs that ensure Iowa libraries are equipped and resourced to provide essential services to all. By
focusing on these priorities, the Iowa Library Association aims to ensure that Iowa libraries remain
vital, vibrant, and valued community anchor institutions.
The ILA's legislative vision empowers Iowa Libraries to build essential community infrastructure by
focusing our efforts on the following areas:
Access to All
Providing all information resources directly or indirectly by the library, in a variety of needful formats
or methods, to all library users is a foundational tenet of librarianship. Access to all creates an
informed citizenry and directly benefits the quality of life for all in the state.
Broadband Development: ILA will support broadband development funding and program initiatives
related to digital inclusion, access, and affordability.
State Library Funding and Programs: ILA will endorse State of Iowa Library funding and programs
to provide increased support and training to Iowa libraries related to technology and digital inclusion,
as well as statewide initiatives such as Open Access and IowaShares.
State Aid to Public Libraries: ILA will advocate that State Aid to Public Libraries be retained at a
minimum level of $1.1 million dollars.
Oversight and Transparency: ILA will advocate for the continued oversight and transparency
provided by the Iowa Governor's Commission of Libraries and for its positions to be filled on a
consistent and efficient basis.
Autonomy
Libraries contribute to society by supporting autonomy, a primary value of Iowans essential to living a
flourishing life. (#Keeplibrarieslocal)
Legislative Support for Autonomy: ILA will support legislation that affirms the autonomy of
libraries and other taxing jurisdictions, including control of revenue assigned to those jurisdictions by
voters.
Coalition Building: ILA will continue to build coalitions with affinity groups, associations, and
organizations with similar interests in legislation and funding that support literacy, learning, and
librarianship in Iowa.
Local Governance: ILA will advocate to preserve Iowa's tradition of hometown governance for
libraries by maintaining support for the autonomy of public library boards and public -school boards
to develop and apply appropriate policies through local processes.
Intellectual Freedom
The Library Bill of Rights, written in Iowa in 1938, has become the national standard for free people
reading freely. Let's keep that legacy intact for the next generation by honoring our state motto,
"Iowa, Freedom to Flourish."
Opposition to Censorship: ILA will oppose legislative proposals for censorship in any form or
infringement of Iowans' freedom to read, view, or learn.
Opposition to Criminalization of Librarians and Educators: ILA will oppose any legislation that
criminalizes librarians, teacher librarians, educators, or students performing duties aligned with the
core tenets of librarianship.
Retention of Iowa Code 728.7: ILA will support retaining Iowa Code 728.7 in the current form (as of
2024), consistent with federal and state law and the professional ethics of educators and librarians.
Guidance on Legislation Impacting Librarians: ILA will continue to seek and advocate for guidance
from the Department of Education regarding the application of any legislation impacting the work of
teacher librarians.
Education
Iowa libraries give life to ideas for students and communities who access and enjoy them, enriching
themselves and others through lifelong learning.
Right to Read and Intellectual Freedom: ILA will support protections for the right to read,
intellectual freedom, academic freedom, and first amendment rights of Iowans in school, public, and
academic libraries.
Library Funding and E-Resources: ILA will support library funding and access to affordable e-
resources for work and study.
Open Educational Resources (OER): ILA will support State of Iowa Board of Regents funding for
grants to develop OER.
School Librarians: ILA will advocate for the designation of school librarians as instructional staff who
provide student learning in various educational environments. Appropriate designation of teacher
librarians from the Department of Education is crucial.
Economic Development
National studies demonstrate that the Return on Investment (ROI) for libraries is quite high, with every
$1 invested in a library returning $9 to the local economy.
Property Tax and Incentive Legislation: ILA will monitor property tax legislation, tax abatement,
incentive legislation, and any legislation that could negatively impact revenue for libraries.
Local Control: ILA will monitor any legislation regarding the governance of libraries, prioritizing local
control.
Workforce and Economic Development: ILA will support funding and programs to provide
increased support and training to Iowa libraries related to workforce and economic development
initiatives.
Iowa City Public Library Names Anne Mangano as Library Director

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Date:9/17/2025
Contact: Manny Galvez
Phone: 319-356-5241
Iowa City Public Library Names Anne Mangano as Library Director
The Iowa City Public Library Board of Trustees has announced the appointment of Anne Mangano
as the new Director of the Iowa City Public Library (ICPL), effective immediately.
Mangano, who has served the Library since 2008 and most recently as Interim Director, was
selected following a national search. The Board unanimously approved her appointment,
recognizing her extensive experience, deep community ties, and proven leadership throughout her
tenure.
Robin Paetzold, President of the Library Board of Trustees, said:
"We are thrilled to name Anne Mangano as the new Director of the Iowa City Public Library. Anne
has demonstrated outstanding leadership, a deep commitment to our community, and a clear
vision for the future of library service in Iowa City. We are confident she will continue to build on
the Library's strong foundation and lead us into an exciting new chapter."
Mangano has been a cornerstone of ICPL's leadership team for more than a decade. As Collection
Services Coordinator since 2013, she has overseen the Library's collections, developed strategies
to meet the evolving needs of Johnson County residents, and helped expand access to resources
across physical and digital platforms.
In her role as Director, Mangano will lead a staff of more than 100 employees and guide one of
Iowa's most dynamic public libraries, serving over 67,000 cardholders in Iowa City, Hills, University
Heights, and rural Johnson County.
"I am honored to serve as Director of the Iowa City Public Library," said Mangano. "Libraries are
vital to their communities, and I look forward to working with our talented staff, Board, and
community partners to continue strengthening access and innovation in our Library services."
Please join us for a celebration to meet the new Library Director on Wednesday, October 22, 2025
from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm in Meeting Room A of the Iowa City Public Library. Light refreshments
will be served.
Established in 1896, the Iowa City Public Library is a nationally recognized institution dedicated to
connecting people of all ages with ideas, information, and each other. With more
than 257,000 items in its collection, robust digital
resources, community outreach and expansive programs that reach tens of thousands annually,
ICPL is committed to fostering lifelong learning, creativity, and civic engagement throughout the
community.

Anne Mangano was named the new director of the Iowa City Public Library after being appointed to
the position by the Iowa City Public Library Board of Trustees.
Mangano has worked for the library since 2008, serving as an informational librarian, where she was
able to provide customers with information and research, until 2013, when she became the collections
services coordinator.
As the collections services coordinator, Mangano oversaw the library's entire collection and worked to
curate a selection of books to best represent the Iowa City community.
"I learned quite a lot about managing libraries, and I get really excited about addressing community
needs, along with working with fellow staff members in the building," she said.
Mangano has served as the interim director all summer, and has found her transition to be both
challenging and rewarding as she adapts to new responsibilities. She was announced to be the new
director on Sept. 17.
"There are lots of parts that I am still learning, but I think I have a really good foundation that has led
to a smooth transition," Mangano said.
When the director position became vacant in May 2025, Robin Paetzold, president of the Iowa City
Library Board of Trustees, began the process of hiring a new director. Applications came in from
around the country, and even internationally. But in the end, the board picked an internal hire.
"It just happened to be that the strongest candidate in our pool came from our own staff, which is a
way of seeing the strength in our staff," Paetzold said. "This is just a very strong library that the
community stands behind."
Sam Helmick, the community and access services coordinator for the library and president of the
American Library Association, said they want to emphasize the importance of having a strong staff
behind leadership.
"Libraries are reflections of the communities they serve," Helmick said. "As a staff member, myjob is
to support and resource our director in order to craft the vision for the Iowa City Public Library."
The library saw a total of 1.2 million uses across the 257,000 items in its collection in 2024. Helmick
said managing that workload is made possible by a committed staff, which is also vital to the library's
success as a public institution.
"We have a pretty robust circulation at the Iowa City Public Library, and so building a world -class
collection that meets the entrepreneurial, education, and entertainment needs of our community is
always something that we are striving to excel at," Helmick said.
Paetzold feels the library is incredibly important to the city and is excited to see the forward progress
that will be made under the leadership of Mangano.
"Iowa City is a unique setting, as a university town as well as a city of literature," Paetzold said. "We
have one of the highest rates of library card ownership."
Specifically, 43,037 Iowa City community members currently hold a library card at the ICPL, according
to Mangano, which is a little over a quarter of the total population of Johnson County.
Mangano said she is excited to step into the role, ready to explore new ways to serve an ever growing
and changing community.
"We are just going to continue doing our mission. Our mission is to connect, engage, and enrich our
community," Mangano said. "My vision is to create the next generation of library services."

Iowa libraries bring awareness of banned books amid recent funding
cuts
Cole Miller, News Reporter I October 13, 2025
https://dailyiowan.com/2025/10/13/iowa-libraries-bring-awareness-of-banned-books-amid-recent-funding-cuts/
Libraries in Iowa City and Coralville present banned books display as a
response to state legislation cuts
i
As Banned Books Week — an event drawing focus to and challenging book banning by the state and
federal legislature — comes to a close, Iowa City community librarians are speaking out for the right to
materials such as print books and even e-books or audiobooks as intellectual freedoms, which are
threatened by funding cuts to libraries around the country.
Banned Books Week took place on Oct. 5-11 this year. The American Library Association established
Banned Books Week in 1982. In Iowa, the week opens discussions for communities to be aware of the
resources the library can provide and to promote the First Amendment rights of privacy and
supporting and accessing libraries.
"It's really more about education awareness," Sam Helmick, community and access services
coordinator at the Iowa City Public Library, said. "Libraries have procedures and policies in place so
that the community can come together and reconsider if a book is in the right place, has the right
label, and is really useful."
Alison Ames Galstad, the library director at the Coralville Public Library, said a growing trend in
legislation is to ban books written by or including authors or characters of minorities.
"What we're seeing in terms of the identical legislation being proposed in multiple states is this trend
to ban the voices of black authors, to ban materials that represent the LGBTQ+ populations, and I
think that is a really primary focus," Galstad said.
The ALA interprets First Amendment law and the Library Bill of Rights, promoting libraries and library
education worldwide.
Helmick serves as the President of the American Library Association and said the organization has
tracked unfair and inadequate challenges to books.
"The American Library Association has attracted about 72 percent of these calls to challenge and
censor are coming from special interest groups that don't even live in the communities that they're
challenging," Helmick said. "And often those materials that they're challenging don't even exist in the
catalog or the collection of the library, it's like you're cutting and pasting from lists online."
Helmick said it is important to recognize that tax dollars in support of policy enable censorship to
happen in the U.S. and communities across the nation.
"And so the price of e-books, any legislation that would cut library funding, those are sort of
intellectual freedom elements that the American public needs to be made more aware of," Helmick
said.
According to the Institute of Museum and Library Services, congressionally mandated dollars that
were intended to come back to Iowa libraries were put on hold, leading to a lack of state and federal
taxes going toward supporting 543 libraries across the state and their services.
Recent legislation, such as Iowa House File 718, has decreased funding for libraries. According
to EveryLibrary, the tax bill eliminated the ability to levy up to $0.27 per $1,000 of taxable valuation for
supporting over 90 libraries and many museums in Iowa. Libraries and museums now have to be
funded from general budgets without voter -approved funding.
Helmick said 97 communities have lost this funding.
"We have concerns about losing the federal funding and with tariffs impacting everything from books
and materials to shipping material to get books to us," Helmick said.
Amid the funding reductions in Iowa libraries, Banned Books Week serves as a time for Iowa libraries
to communicate on the issue of censorship.
"The Iowa City Public Library is an educational space when it comes to Banned Books Week," Helmick
said. "Our work is to give you [community members] wonderful library resources so you can make
informed decisions and you can inform your life with goals, whether they're recreational, educational,
entrepreneurial, or economic."
Galstad describes the library's banned books display as a way to bring awareness and open
discussions about the topic of banned books.
"It's part of our mission to make sure that [there is] something in the library for everyone and that
every individual can see themselves and resources that they can find at the public library," Galstad
said. "We want to make sure we provide those resources and that outside forces, legislative forces, or
special interest groups aren't dictating what can be on the shelves."

In 1938, as concerns of censorship rose worldwide, Des Moines Public Library Director Forrest
Spaulding penned the words that would become the "Library Bill of Rights."
The first tenet states: "Books and other library resources should be provided for the interest,
information, and enlightenment of all people of the community the library serves."
In less than a century, the seven tenets of the "Library Bill of Rights" have been amended six times, the
latest in 2019. The seven tenets affirm that the policies should guide all libraries and forums for
information and ideas.
In Iowa, the more than 500 public libraries across the state hope to do more.

In September, the ALA encouraged people to obtain a library card during "Library Card Sign-up
Month." The theme, "One Card, Endless Possibilities," is to educate communities that the library is
more than just a spot to check out books, encouraging people to explore other resources that the
library offers — including checking out items such as cake pans, digital collections, CDs, DVDs, classes,
and events — resources that many might not utilize on a day-to-day basis, but others rely on.
"Library Card Sign-up Month" began in 1987, when former Secretary of Education William Bennett,
under the Ronald Reagan administration, said, "Let's have a campaign ... Every child should obtain a
library card and use it."
"It reminds folks to dust it off if they haven't used it before, and that a public library collection is
broad and it has a voyage of discovery and supports the community's interest," Helmick said. "You are
going to see something on the shelf you love, and you're going to see something right beside that
you don't vibe with at all. That is the point of a library."
Iowa's open access library offers statewide benefits
Obtaining a library card in Iowa isn't restricted to a city of residence. Any Iowan can get a library card
at any library in the state.
In Iowa, IMLS funding provides open access library cards, which allow residents to check out materials
from the State Library collection and access certain online resources. The funding also supports IA
Shares, which enables residents to return borrowed materials at any participating library, regardless of
where the item was checked out.
The urge to utilize public libraries comes when books are being banned in Iowa public schools,
and Executive Order 14238 aims to dismantle seven agencies, including the IMLS, responsible for
supporting libraries and museums across the United States. The ALA is actively opposing the move.
"The important thing is to use your library, use as many as you'd like. Use them prolifically. Get your
voice in the space," Helmick said. "Be aware of the federal and state implications of funding, which is
important because you pay federal taxes, and you deserve to benefit from them."
People living in Iowa City, Hills, University Heights, Lone Tree, or rural Johnson County are eligible for
a resident card, which grants access to all Iowa City Public Library resources, including checking out
eBooks and equipment like discovery kits.
Residents across the state can obtain an open access library card at the Iowa City Public Library, which
allows cardholders to check out books and magazines, access internet and attend community events.

Iowa libraries left in a lurch after closure of major book supplier
Grace Nieland I October 16, 2025

The closure will impact libraries' budgets and the ability to quickly procure
new materials.

7 Slosiarekirhe Gazette)
IOWA CITY — Well over 100 people piled into the Iowa City Public Library on Saturday to hear from
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and Iowa author Art Cullen.
The room was packed with readers of all ages and backgrounds lured in by the promise of Cullen's
reflections on the transformation of rural America and its evolving, yet urgent environmental
challenges.
At the end of his talk, attendees were urged to learn more by reading Cullen's new book, "Dear Marty,
We Crapped in Our Nest: Notes from the Edge of the World." The library, however, had zero copies to
loan out to interested readers.
"We had Art Cullen here, but we didn't have his book," said Iowa City Public Library Director Anne
Mangano. "It's not because we didn't have it on order — we ordered it months ago. Itjust wasn't
here."
Mangano said the issue was one of a growing number the library has experienced with Baker &
Taylor, the wholesale book distributor from whom the Iowa City library gets the majority of its
physical materials.
The Iowa City Public Library has partnered with Baker & Taylor for decades, and for much of that time
the relationship was a positive one. But more recently, Mangano said staff began seeing issues with
delivery delays and lagging communication.
Then last week, the other shoe was dropped. After nearly 200 years, Baker & Taylor — the largest
single supplier of content to American libraries — would be ceasing its operations. The news quickly
ricocheted through literary circles in Iowa and beyond, leaving many wondering what's next for
libraries left behind.
"Baker & Taylor supply well over 5,000 libraries with materials. It is the No. 1 distributor for public
libraries in the country," Mangano said. "It's a shocking loss for the library community."
Financial woes shutter longtime staple
Baker & Taylor began in 1828 as a bookbinding and publishing business that soon expanded to
distributing books via horse-drawn carriage. Over the years, the company grew into a literary giant
with thousands of customers around the globe.
Many of those customers were public libraries who turned to Baker & Taylor to save money on
wholesale book orders and other essential processing services.
Sam Helmick, president of the American Library Association, described the North Carolina -based
company as a longtime staple within the broader library community and a seasoned partner to
lending institutions nationwide.
"They've been instrumental for decades," said Helmick, who also is an Iowa City -based librarian.
"There's no one-to-one replacement."

But in more recent years, the company has faced mounting financial struggles that eventually led to a
proposed acquisition deal between Baker & Taylor and ReaderLink, an Illinois -based wholesaler.
That deal fell apart late last month, however, and per Publishers Publishers Weekly Baker & Taylor CEO Aman
Kochar told employees last week that he no longer sees a sustainable path to stay in business.
According to that report, the company is expected to wind down its operations in the coming months
— leaving many of its partner libraries reeling and questioning when and where they can acquire new
materials.
Impact to libraries will be broad, but mixed
The impact of the Baker & Taylor closure will be felt throughout the library community, although
Helmick said impacts will likely vary depending on a given library's size, budget and overall reliance
on Baker & Taylor.
Libraries with smaller budgets — including many in rural areas — could be hit harder, Helmick said,
given that libraries could see cost increases from moving to new suppliers. Baker & Taylor often
offered the best discounts in the industry, making them a favorite when it came to getting the most
bang for your buck.
The impact also will vary depending on how large the percentage of a given library's books were
coming from Baker & Taylor and which ancillary services were included in that agreement.
In an emailed statement, library director Dara Schmidt said that Baker & Taylor has been a longtime
supplier for the Cedar Rapids Public Library and that the closure is expected to have "a direct impact
on services."
In particular, the closure will impact the processing of new materials previously handled by Baker &
Taylor. That work will now need to be done in house, "which means more work for staff and may
increase wait times for some materials."

But given recent tumult at the company, Schmidt
said the library "has been working with alternate
vendors over the past several months to ensure
there are efficient pathways forward. Even though
it may take a little longer, we are confident our
patrons will have continued access to new titles."
Mangano also stressed the importance of
alternative partnerships, stating that the Iowa City
Public Library had already begun to increase its
orders through secondary vendors in recent
months.
Still, it's a large lift. Last year, 84 percent of the
Iowa City library's new materials came from Baker
& Taylor. In addition, the library had six months
worth of orders into Baker & Taylor when the
closure was suddenly announced.
"They sent an email (on Monday) explaining that
they'll try to fulfill the orders that they can, ... but
we ended up canceling all those and just ordering
them (from a different supplier)" to better ensure
delivery, Mangano said.
Libraries across the country are left in similar
positions as they rush to alternate suppliers to acquire new materials. There's only so many wholesale
suppliers out there, however, meaning some delays are likely as the market adjusts.
Already, libraries across Iowa — including those in North Liberty, McGregor and Clarence — have
taken to blog posts and social media explainers asking patrons for understanding and patience in the
meantime.
Libraries "are telling communities what they know and they're telling communities what they're still
trying to figure out," Helmick said.
"All we can do is hope for and appreciate (patrons') patience."

Iowa libraries scramble for suppliers after major book distributor ends
operations
Josie Fischels, Iowa Public Radio I October 13, 2025

Baker & Taylor, one of the nation's largest suppliers of books and materials to public libraries, is in the
process of closing after years of financial difficulties. The move has caused the library world to race to
secure alternative vendors, including in Iowa.
For many public libraries, including the Iowa City Public Library, the closure marks the loss of a
longtime vendor responsible for the bulk of their print collections and essential processing services.
According to ICPL Director Anne Mangano, 84% of the library's book collections were purchased
through Baker & Taylor last year. ICPL will not receive any of the books it currently has on order from
the company.
"They were a pretty substantial company for public libraries," she said.
The North Carolina —based company partnered with more than 5,000 libraries worldwide. It had been
the primary vendor for many Iowa libraries, in particular, due to a contract with the State Library of
Iowa that allowed institutions to collectively negotiate discounted pricing on books, audiobooks,
DVDs and other materials. Mangano said that statewide agreement helped smaller systems, especially
rural Iowa libraries, compete with major library networks in cities like Chicago and New York for
access to books.
The swift collapse of Baker & Taylor did not come as a complete surprise to industry observers. The
company had been struggling financially for several years and lost momentum after a failed
acquisition deal, which led to widespread order cancellations. Other distributors are now working to
fill the void. Ingram Content Group, already a major wholesaler for many libraries, including ICPL, has
expanded operations to absorb incoming orders.
Some Iowa libraries, including the Des Moines Public Library, said they expect minimal disruption
thanks to early preparation.
"This was not a surprise to us as B&T has been struggling for several years, and noticeably more in the
past 6-9 months," Supervising Librarian Jennifer Tormey wrote in an email to IPR. "We started to move
our orders over to different vendors over the past few months, so we should be good. That being
said, with all of the libraries across the country moving to the same 2-3 vendors, we could experience
some slow periods as they deal with the influx of orders."
While Mangano called Baker & Taylor's announcement "a shock," she acknowledged there had been
warning signs.
"They've had some fulfillment issues," she said. "I had an idea this was going to happen."
She pointed to a recent disruption: When author Elin Hilderbrand visited Iowa City earlier this year,
ICPL was left without copies of her newest book due to Baker & Taylor's delays and canceled orders.
Beyond books, Baker & Taylor provided specialized services such as cataloging, labeling and jacketing
— labor-intensive tasks that many libraries will now have to handle themselves, or seek additional,
alternative vendors for.
Mangano said Baker & Taylor's closure could mean longer wait times for patrons as libraries transition
to new suppliers and adjust to increased costs.
"Overall, our selection will be a little smaller, and we might not be buying as many copies as before,"
she said. "It comes at a time when library budgets have already been strained in a number of ways."
In a message to the community, Mangano apologized for the forthcoming delays.
"We will figure this out — we always do, but I know it is disappointing to wait longer for the next
great book."

When books were being pulled from Iowa classrooms, these teens
started an after -school club to read them

Iowa City West High School's Banned Book Club founders, Alice Gooblar-Perovic, Aahana Gupta and Lydia Cruce promote their club
at the school activities fair.
Three Iowa City West high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's
most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was
signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law
can't be enforced.
Iowa City West High School student Alice Gooblar-Perovic credits her early love of reading with how
she understands the world.
"People say [books are] like a window or like a mirror, and I see that a lot. They also help you
understand yourself better," she said.
Gooblar-Perovic was a freshman when she learned that thousands of books with sexual content,
like The Handmaid's Tate and Nineteen Minutes, were being pulled from Iowa classrooms to comply
with the implementation of Senate File 496, which was scheduled to take effect at the start of 2024.
In response, she and her classmates, Aahana Gupta and Lydia Cruce, started a Banned Book Club.
They borrowed books frequently found on "banned" book lists from the Coralville Public Library and
met after classes ended for the day to discuss them.
Operating as an unofficial club, they were unable to participate in the school's activities fair or
advertise their gatherings at school — posters they hung were quickly taken down. Instead, they grew
a small group through word of mouth.
"Our membership was pretty low that first year," Cruce recalled.
"It was really difficult for our first year," Gooblar-Perovic added. "We couldn't be like an official club
with our school, because it would be, legally, iffy."
The group persisted. After the part of the law that affects school libraries was temporarily blocked by
a federal judge, the Banned Book Club gained official recognition from the school. Now, as
enforcement of the book restrictions remains frozen under a second temporary injunction, the club
has 15 to 25 regular members and meets weekly to discuss books like The Perks of Being a
Wallflower, The Color Purple, The Handmaid's Tate and Fahrenheit 457 — some of the same titles that
had been previously removed from the Iowa City Community School District's libraries. According to
Iowa City West High's library catalog, the books have since been reshelved.

A banned books display is organized by Iowa City West`s Banned gook Club at the Iowa City Public Library
during Banned Books Week.
"Banned Book Club is really a place for discussion, no judgment, where we're just talking about what
we think different themes in the book mean, and why we think it's important," Cruce said. "We're also
really trying to have these important discussions about the characters in the book and the themes and
why it was banned."
While the number of book challenges in Iowa dropped significantly from the 2023-2024 to 2024-2025
school year, Iowa remains a leading state for the number of book removals.
For the founders, who are nowjuniors, the club is less about protesting book removals in their own
district and more about sharing information and promoting access to books in general.

A banned books display is organized by Iowa City
West's Banned Book Club at the Iowa City Pudic
Library during Banned Books Week, which was held
Oct_ 5-11.
"I think a lot of times, in terms of banned books,
there's a lot of confusion, especially among kids or
teenagers that are often left out of these
conversations," Gooblar-Perovic said. "I've found
that a lot of people our age just don't have the
information. So a lot of it isjust saying, 'OK, what
exactly are banned books? What is it about these
books that are so wrong or controversial?"'
Gupta said the club's meetings have become a
place where students form friendships around
stories that challenge them to think critically.
"Books can help bring us together. I like that our
club does that for people," she said.
She described the club as student -focused and as
independent from the school as possible. While
school sponsorship provides them with a space to
hold their meetings and the ability to promote their
club, the three student founders lead all the
discussions themselves. They plan the reading lists
and continue to coordinate with the Coralville
Public Library for copies instead of the public
school library — mostly because, even if the book is
available to borrow at school, there aren't enough
copies available to check out for the entire club,
Gooblar-Perovic explained.
"Books can help bring us together. I like that
our club does that for people."
Aahana Gupta, Iowa City West High School junior
If the injunction on Iowa's book law is eventually lifted, the students said it could complicate the
future of the club as an official school organization. Gooblar-Perovic said they're prepared to continue
in an unofficial capacity if that happens.
"It would definitely be easier than our first year, even if we had to become unofficial again, because
we've built this community," she said. "I feel a lot more confident that we would be able to make it
work."
For now, the club continues to meet as a school -sponsored organization, despite receiving occasional
negative feedback from the public.
"The fact that it is so difficult to have a book club where we read banned books feels like exactly why
we were doing it," Gooblar-Perovic said. "Because it's so important."
Iowa City launches Project Cleanup with free kits to tackle community
litter

IOWA CITY, Iowa — Iowa City has launched Project Clean -Up, a new initiative encouraging residents
to pick up litter in public spaces or their own neighborhoods.
The city is providing free clean-up kits, which include a pair of reusable gloves, a 16-gallon orange
trash bag, and an instruction sheet with safety and disposal tips.
lk
kus include an instrucllonsheer one parr ofreosable glows. and oae d6-ga Yon orange plos[icgor6age hag. (Photo courtesy ofihe City of
Residents can pick up these kits at the Iowa City Public Library, City Hall, the Senior Center, or the
Mercer Park Aquatic Center.
Once the trash bags are full, participants are instructed to place them inside or next to their trash bins
on regular curbside collection days. A $2.50 sticker is not required for Project Cleanup bags used for
volunteer litter pickups.
The city is also asking participants to complete a short survey to help track the program's progress.
The form asks for basic details about the cleanup, including location and number of bags collected.
"One of the reasons we ask residents to report on their litter pickups is because we want to
celebrate the residents who are voluntarily doing this good work. But it also helps us identify
areas of the city that might need a little more TLC, which is important information for staff to
have," Climate Action Coordinator for the City of Iowa City, Sarah Gardner said.
Project Cleanup is a partnership between the City's Climate Action, Neighborhood Outreach,
AmeriCorps, Resource Management, Storm Water, and Iowa City Public Library offices.
It may be a simple initiative, but program organizers emphasize that every effort adds up.
"We're lucky to live in a city like Iowa City where we have residents who are so interested in the
well-being of the community and want to contribute and make a difference, " Gardner said.
"Something like Project Cleanup gives them an easy way to do so. "

America's Burgeoning Fleet of Book Bikes
A growing group of booksellers, librarians, and literary -minded citizens is taking to
two wheels to distribute books to readers
Jill Webb, Publishers Weekly I October 3, 2025
https://www.pub]ishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/publisher-news/article/98761-america-s-burgeoning-
fleet-of-book-bikes.htmI
The United States is in a literacy crisis. In 2023, a survey conducted by the National Center for
Education Statistics found that 28% of American citizens ages 16-65 read below the equivalent of a
third -grade level. Another study, based on the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' latest American Time
Use Survey, indicated that 16% of adults read for pleasure on a given day in 2023, down from a high
of 28% in 2004. Meanwhile, library funding is increasingly threatened, screen time is adversely
affecting students' reading abilities, and swaths of the country have become bookstore deserts. But
one group of dedicated citizens hoping to counteract the trend is peddling into local parks on book
bikes.
Katrin Abel, a librarian at Austin Public Library in Texas who has researched the history of
bookmobiles, started to see book bikes take off about a decade ago. "They're small, they're nimble,
they're able to get places where you might not expect to see the library and get to people who might
not come to the library," she says. In the years since Abel took note of the trend, a steady supply of
general -interest book bikes —mainly run by librarians —have appeared alongside individual operators
bringing more niche literary offerings to the streets, such as the Nonbinarian Book Bike, a mutual aid
project giving out free queer books across Brooklyn that has since expanded into a physical store.
In Maryland, readers know love is in the air when L'amour en Route rides across Montgomery County.
Driving the romance-themed book bike is Jeanette Thompson, who recently launched Romantique
Books, an online romance book store. "I knew that opening a bricks -and -mortar was not gonna be in
the cards anytime soon, but I wanted to expand and get out into the community more and not just do
pop -ups," she says. She describes her venture as "a bit of a rebellious act" against Project 2025, which
she believes unfairly targets parts of the romance genre by decrying a number of titles as
pornography.
Thompson has found a sweet spot vending at farmer's markets, where she sets people up with hand -
wrapped, undisclosed titles for a "blind date with a book." "I usually include a few goodies —stickers,
bookmarks, and stuff like that," she adds. In the future, she plans to curate events, including by
working with a local brewery to pair beers with books featuring various romance tropes. "I really love
romance and I don't think enough people focus on it," she says. "It's really exciting to see this kind of
thing happening."
Reading meets sustainability in Iowa City with a library book bike that stocks titles tackling climate -
related issues. The Iowa City Public Library acquired the bike through funding from a local climate
action organization. "We take the discards from the library and donated materials from the public and
try to put them back into use —trying to deter things from the landfill —and make sure that usable
materials are used," says Katie Roche, development director for the ICPL Friends Foundation.
Roche set up a relationship between the ICPL and the local landfill so that residents can self -sort their
donations to send books that match necessary criteria to the library. As a result, Roche says, the
library is "seeing a huge amount of books that would have been recycled go back into reuse." ICPL's
bike also provides library workers with a natural opportunity to discuss attacks on libraries that local
residents might not be aware of. This is especially important, Roche adds, because "Iowa is number
one in book banning and number one in legislation that would challenge the good work of libraries."
Comics artist Shay Mirk, whose next book, Making Nonfiction Comics: A Guide for Graphic Narrative,
will be published by Abrams in November, has taken an even more DIY tack to the book bike
endeavor. Over the summer, Mirk took their custom zine bike to a Pride event in Portland, Ore., where
it was immediately a hit. "I had brought hundreds of zines, and they were gone within an hour," they
say.

and statewide, particularly who has access to what in a library. It will most likely be a topic for debate
when the legislature convenes in January. Mangano shared she wanted to explain intellectual freedom
processes at Iowa City Public Library (ICPL); it is a value here and at public libraries in general. Mangano
shared intellectual freedom is "the right of every individual to both seek and receive information from all
points of view without restriction" as defined by the American Library Association. Mangano said it is the
freedom to read, and freedom to explore ideas and engage with them. Mangano said it is a right
guaranteed by the first amendment of the constitution. The State Library of Iowa's Handbook says that
the role of a library board member is to "protect and defend intellectual freedom". Mangano said it is
also a professional value of the staff that work at the library.
Mangano said intellectual freedom has manifested at ICPL as access and privacy. One of ICPL's values is
access, and we believe quality library and information resources should be readily available and equally
accessible to all. Mangano said the collection is one of the first things we think about with access, but it
is also programming, meeting spaces, displays, the community bulletin board, who can get a library
card, and what they can and can't check out with it. Mangano said our call to action is to provide access
and expand access as much as possible. Mangano said the other tenet is privacy, noting for people to
seek and receive information freely, they should be able to do that without scrutiny. The state
recognizes that through Iowa Code, Chapter 22.7, confidential records. Mangano said we as an
institution we work hard to collect the information we need when we need it, and when we no longer
need it, stop storing it. Mangano said the library has a privacy policy, and a privacy page on the website
that goes through every record we collect. It states how long we keep it, when we get rid of it, and why
we keep it. Mangano said the privacy page was created based on input from the Library Board, and that
is the kind of impact trustees have to make ICPL better.
Intellectual Freedom is a cornerstone of having an informed citizenry. The state library trustee handbook
says, "If people are restricted from obtaining information from all points of view, their ability to be
informed citizens is diminished, and thus they cannot exercise self-government." Mangano said that
intellectual freedom is constitutionally protected, and there are several Supreme Court cases ruling that
citizens have a right to give ideas and to receive ideas. Mangano said the most consequential case is
Stanley v. Georgia (1969). Thurgood Marshall wrote the court decision, "It is well established that the
Constitution protects the right to receive information and ideas."
Mangano said that Iowa significantly contributed to the importance of intellectual freedom in libraries.
In 1938, Forrest Spaulding, Director of the Des Moines Public Library (DMPL), presented the idea for a
Library Bill of Rights to his board. Spaulding worried about censorship going into WWII. He had lived
through WWI and as a library director removed materials from the shelves based on the directive of the
federal and state government. The American Library Association (ALA) also condoned removing
materials during WWI. Spaulding was not willing to remove materials going into WWII and he wanted to
guarantee specific rights to patrons of the DMPL, and Library Bill of Rights was adopted by their board.
A fellow librarian then brought it to the next annual ALA conference in 1939.
The Library Bill of Rights specifies that librarians should maintain a diverse collection that meets the
needs of the community they serve, materials should not be removed because someone disagrees with
them, we should challenge censorship, work to ensure free expression and free access to ideas,

everyone should be able to use the library, everyone should have the right to use the meeting rooms or
display spaces regardless of what they're trying to discuss or show, and privacy and confidentiality need
to be protected. Mangano said there are often challenges to intellectual freedom and they can come
from any group or individual regardless of where they sit on a political spectrum. They come from a
variety of topics and because our society is complex and diverse, people feel passionate about the
issues that are important to them. Those passions can be opposing, even in a specific community.
Mangano said we often talk about certain types of materials, but we see challenges from across the
political spectrum. Mangano said that book challenges are discussed the most, noting last year the ALA
tracked 821 attempts to challenge 2,452 unique titles across the country, which is a drop from 2023. Of
these challenges, 72% were initiated by board members, elected officials, or administrators within the
institutions. Mangano shared there are other forms of challenges such as meeting room use, programs,
displays, and internet use. When facing challenges policies are very important, and it is why they are
reviewed every three years. Library policies state the parameters of access and use; it's important to
know them, follow them, and keep them up to date. Policies that involve intellectual freedom include
Collection Development, Programming, Circulation and Library Cards, Bylaws, Meeting Room Use,
Community Displays, Internet Use; it's an extensive list.
Mangano said the Collection Development policy is up for review in November. This policy provides the
mission and purpose of the collection and gives general guidelines on collection development. In this
policy we view collection development as the ongoing process of assessing materials available for
purchase or licensing and making decisions on their inclusion and retention. Mangano said our
collection reflects the general needs and interests of the Iowa City community with a wide variety of
subjects, views, and formats. Our collection needs are current and include popular materials and
formats; it is not an archive. The single most important factor for inclusion in the collection is use. If the
books are used, they are on the shelf and we'll buy more of them. It is taken into consideration when
purchasing and when items are weeded (removed). Materials are removed from the library on a regular
basis, and it is because they are not used. Mangano gave the example of the nonfiction collection and
said each title that hasn't circulated for three years is reviewed.
Mangano then explained what happens when someone disagrees with something in our collection. In
many public libraries there is a specific process to handle a materials challenge. A patron might question
why something is in a specific collection, or they might want a book or movie completely removed.
These complaints are often shared through a reconsideration form and reviewed by the board of
trustees, where the patron and staff advocate whether the book should be included in the collection.
Mangano said that is not how the Iowa City Public Library operates according to the Collection
Development policy. Our policy states,"The library recognizes that any given item may offend some
patrons, but, because the library follows accepted principles of intellectual freedom, it will not remove
specific titles solely because individuals or groups may find them objectionable." Mangano said when a
challenge is received, like any complaint, staff are respectful and kind, thank the patron for their input,
and the item is reviewed. If staff determine that it meets the purchasing guidelines, we let the patron
know. If that doesn't resolve the issue, they are welcome to talk to the Library Board during public
sessions, like any other complaint. That process is a longstanding policy at ICPL going back to the
1970's. It is a standard that other libraries are starting to adopt, including North Liberty. Mangano said

most importantly, inclusion of materials in our collection is not an endorsement of its contents.
Intellectual freedom challenges can be hard and contentious but eventually resolve, and our goal is to
protect ICPL and intellectual freedom. How we respond makes our organization stronger and builds our
community's trust in the organization.
Raeburn asked what titles have been challenged. Mangano said we haven't received a formal challenge,
but she has had questions on whether something belongs in a specific collection. Paetzold said there
had been a discussion on science books that weren't bound to scientific theory, specifically about
vaccination, that were shared because they are of public interest. Mangano said there was a question
about whether antivaccination materials should be allowed because the information could potentially
harm people. Mangano said those books inform state and national policy and they are of public interest.
Paetzold said there have been questions about the use of our meeting rooms for library programming
or by political groups. Paetzold said the concerns are diverse.
Boothroy said the ALA had data about the number of reconsiderations dropping and asked if Mangano
knew Iowa's data. Mangano was unsure if Iowa's data was dropping but noted the heightened years
were from 2022 to 2023 for reconsideration. Matthews said she guessed it would be lower because of
changes to state law. Mangano said school libraries have felt this more than public libraries. Matthews
said some schools followed the letter of the law and some took a broader approach.
Paetzold asked for feedback on training sessions at future meetings. Mangano suggested training on
digital collection pricing, digital media lab offerings, or early literacy programming.
Schweigel-Skeers asked if ICPL had informal material challenges such as patrons reshelving books on
their own or interacting with displays in unwarranted ways. Mangano agreed that it happens and shared
often people check out books with the intent not to return them.
Budget Discussion.
Mangano said next month the FY27 operating budget request would be reviewed. Mangano said the
FY25 end of year financial reports were included in the packet, the FY25 ICPLFF statement of financial
position report, and the FY25 receipts and expenditures by fund (which shows the balance of the Library
Board controlled funds). Mangano said the CIP request to replace the HVAC system on the roof was also
included. Mangano said there are eight rooftop HVAC units, and one was replaced this past year with
operating budget funds. There are seven other units that are close to end of life, of which two have
already received significant and costly repairs. Mangano said there is a change in the chemicals that can
be used in HVAC systems, and at some point, we won't be able to maintain the current units because we
won't be able to get the chemicals. Mangano said the city has already consolidated the project request
to one year and scheduled it for 2030. Mangano would prefer that the HVAC system not be an
emergency purchase. For perspective, Mangano shared the library's HVAC request is one million dollars
and is only 1% of the entire city's CIP requests for that year. Mangano said if you take all the requests
from 2026 to 2030 the library's HVAC and carpeting requests combined are .6% of all department
requests. Mangano said there is a meeting tomorrow to discuss the CIP projects with department heads.
Paetzold asked if the city took into consideration the cost of the project in 2030. Mangano said the city
slightly increased the request. Mangano said emergency replacements are also more expensive and
noted ICPL's HVAC units are very large and require a crane or helicopter for installation which add to the

expense. Mangano said this is a big project and shouldn't be handled as an emergency project. Paetzold
said this would affect library operations and the ability to be open. Mangano said the HVAC units are
used for cooling and heating the building, noting it could take 8 weeks, if lucky, to get units on site.
Paetzold noted there is also a threat of mold or mildew to the library collection if the HVAC fails.
Matthews asked if ICPL is a warming or cooling center. Mangano agreed it is. Boothroy asked how the
HVAC replacement would be paid for if it was an emergency purchase. Mangano said she would ask the
city, and noted the city has emergency funds. Massa asked if we knew the brand and model of the
HVAC. Mangano said staff got a quote for the CIP request and put forth a best estimate.
Policy Review: 401 Finance.
Mangano said there were no significant changes to policy except to clarify wording, and the policy was
reviewed by accounting and legal. Schweigel-Skeers appreciated the updates. Massa made a motion to
approve the changes to the policy. Schweigel-Skeers seconded. Motion passed 9/0.
Staff Reports.
Director's Report.
Mangano said there would be an open house celebration on October 22nd at 5:30 pm in Meeting Room
A. It will be an opportunity for patrons to meet Mangano as the new library director. Mangano shared
there were new computer stools in the children's room and thanked the trustees for their budget
approval.
Departmental Reports: Adult Services.
Schweigel-Skeers asked for clarification if the data in Paulios' report was for one consultation or
repeated involvement with patrons. Paulios said it is up to the staff to determine when a question is
resolved. Paulios said staff sometimes receive general questions that end up turning into other
questions. All data is dependent on staff clicking a button. Paulios noted the page station is staffed by
hourly staff. Paulios shared that any staff member can answer a reference question, and it is important
everyone knows they get reported to the state. Schweigel-Skeers noted the page station stats and asked
if they were closer to FY19. Paulios said they were closer and said FY19 was the last good year of data
before COVID-19, however they are also from five years ago and things have changed drastically.
Matthews said the state used to ask for reference questions and directional questions and asked if they
no longer track the directional questions. Paulios said he doesn't believe they report that anymore.
Paulios said the statistics are due to the state in October. Paulios said the data doesn't share the time
spent on a question.
Patrick -Ferree said she was curious about live chats and noted the report that staff don't prefer it and
have good reasons for not preferring it. Patrick -Ferree asked if Paulios was developing a system for
dealing with chats since patrons are moving that way and we answered more than last year. Paulios said
there are canned responses in the software such as 'just a moment while I check on that'. Paulios
discussed the time involved answering chats and not knowing how the user feels on the other end.
Paulios said in chats sometimes they request the users contact information so staff can reach back out
to them with the answer. Mangano said as the building study progresses, and we work with patrons it
would be interesting to see if we need a more robust chat service. Boothroy asked where the chat

software fits with the new ILS software. Paulios said it is totally separate from the ILS software (which is
for the catalog and circulation). Paulios said chats run through a separate content management system.
Boothroy asked if there is a more robust chat software that we should be looking at. Paulios said it is
part of ICPL's telecommunication software. Chats end up as tickets which are very useful to see the
communication history and when the chat is completed it also provides a transcript. An hour later the
patron can respond again if needed. Boothroy asked if Paulios was satisfied with the software. Paulios
said he hasn't explored other chat options.
Community & Access Services.
Helmick absent. Pilkington said the library is participating in the homecoming parade and was entry
number 26. Pilkington invited Library Board members to join and shared there were AC/DC themed
library shirts available. Pilkington said the ICPL Bookmobile was off the road last Friday and this Monday,
the transmission line had a recall on it, and it broke. Pilkington said the Iowa City Police Department
helped block evening traffic on Burlington Street. Pilkington thanked the City Fleet.
Development Report.
None.
President's Report.
Mangano and Paetzold met with new city council candidates to explain what the library does and why
we're different than other city departments.
Paetzold shared the Collection Services Coordinator position is open and Mangano will be looking at
candidates soon.
Paetzold said Helmick would be giving a virtual ALA presentation directly after the Library Board
meeting as ALA President.
Paetzold said next Monday there will be a meeting with the public to hear how they use the library's
facilities. Paetzold shared she would be unable to attend but asked trustees to go and listen.
Announcements from Members.
Foundation Updates.
Matthews asked if the world language collection included children and adult materials. Mangano
agreed. Pilkington said they are located where the readers used to be.
Advocacy Updates.
Matthews said there was no formal advocacy statement to share yet. Patrick -Ferree said City Council
came out with a statement in the meantime. Patrick -Ferree, Matthews, and Strong are working to see
how ICPL might respond with other community groups to the Iowa Historical Society changes. All three
trustees contacted various organizations to see what their plans were or if they aspired to do something.
Patrick -Ferree said the working group was planning to write a statement to present to the Library Board
for feedback, however City Council put out a statement first that went in a different direction than they
were imagining. Patrick -Ferree handed out a copy of the City Council's statement in support of not
closing the State Historical Society.

Matthews said of the organizations she reached out to, none of them wanted to lose the materials, and
they also didn't want them to be moved to Des Moines and then subsequent organizations. Matthews
talked to the Johnson County Historical Society, and much like ICPL, they want to protect the materials
but didn't know how to budget it or where to put them. Matthews said we must assume for future
collection growth. Matthews said many of the organizations were surprised by the timeline and lack of
transparency. Matthews said the library's advocacy working group thought they could push for
transparency in what the state is doing and when. Matthews learned the Historical Society will close its
doors in December and the materials will be moved the following June. Matthews said there is one
person employed at the State Historical Society to work on this and they also must look for anotherjob.
Matthews said it is an ambiguous process, and it is uncertain where the State Library falls on this.
Matthews said there are multiple tiers of involvement, the land is owned by the University of Iowa, the
building belongs to the state, and the materials were donations that are legally bound to a collection.
Matthews said there are a lot of factors and asked who the players are, and what is ICPL's role?
Matthews felt ICPL's role was to speak on behalf of transparency and the importance of the materials.
Strong said since Strong, Patrick -Ferree, and Matthews met, there was a new page on the State
Historical Society's website with more information. Paetzold asked if they were asking the Library Board
to act. Matthews said no. Paetzold asked if the group was worried about time. Patrick -Ferree shared
concern in making a statement that was not consistent with City Council's statement and hadn't had a
chance to discuss it with the working group. Patrick -Ferree said asking for transparency isn't inherently
conflicting with keeping the Historical Society but is unsure if the Library Board should make a
statement that might be seen as conflicting with city council. Paetzold noted City Council's letter and
asked if there was any timeline for the state to respond, noting it could be the end of December when
they read the letter, and the time would have passed. Paetzold clarified she was not asking for action
from the working group but asked if time was burning. Paetzold said the Library Board's only action may
be to witness this. Patrick -Ferree said City Council's letter didn't request a timeline for response from the
state, only to change their minds by the end of December.
Patrick -Ferree said the community organizations they've contacted are interested in saving the State
Historical Society and keeping it in Iowa City, but they don't know where or how financially to make that
work. Patrick -Ferree said the current budget for the State Historical Society is so much smaller than if
each group were to take on a piece of it. Matthews said it is not a large operating budget. Patrick -Ferree
said repairing the roof of the building is the real issue. Matthews said there is also a legal document
from 1983 that states the land for the building is leased from the University of Iowa until it is no longer
of use, which is ambiguous. Matthews said some of the materials are owned by a not -for -profit, and
materials obtained before a certain date are owned separately.
Mangano met with the Iowa Urban Public Library directors and asked them to discuss their involvement
in archives. Mangano said none of the urban public libraries have archives. Des Moines Public Library
has a minimal photograph collection. Ames and Cedar Rapids Public Libraries have museums housing
their community's local archives. Paetzold summarized that it's a wait and see situation and said the
working group would come back in a month to present. Matthews agreed that was a fair assessment.
There was further discussion about the working group's process.

Skeers and Raeburn volunteered.

The meeting was adjourned at 6:11 pm.
