It provides general guidance on the values and principles of collection development, establishing the criteria for how we manage the collection. It is a valuable tool in explaining collection decisions to members of our community. This review is a regular, three-year policy review. Public Library Accreditation Standards administered by the State Library require this policy for all public libraries, asking the policy to address the intention of the collection, who is responsible for collection development, criteria for selecting resources, and how reconsideration of materials or complaints are handled. The American Library Association’s Intellectual Freedom Manual recommends that the policy is consistent with and refers to the Library Bill of Rights, the Freedom to Read, and the Freedom to View statements. After reviewing State Library standards, American Library Association recommendations, and peer library policies, we recommend minor changes to our current policy. We rewrote several sentences in active voice for clarity. I provided an overview of those changes under “Committee Recommendations.” The City Attorney’s Office reviewed the suggested changes and had no concerns. Issues While we recommend no changes related to materials created using artificial intelligence and reconsideration requests, I want to review both issues. Artificial Intelligence The selection librarians discussed adding language that speaks to our collection’s relationship with materials created using artificial intelligence (AI). AI shows up in the publishing landscape in several different ways. On one hand, publishers utilize AI tools to edit manuscripts or increase accessibility, such as digitally produced audiobook narrations of small press publications. For these titles, access is expanded as publishers refused to invest in expensive audiobook productions in the past. However, people also use AI to write materials to generate sales, sometimes creating eBooks that resemble other popular titles, hoping someone will purchase them by mistake. At this point in time, quality remains a significant issue for AI-generated materials. There are a couple of approaches public libraries use to address AI in their collections. The most prohibitive is barring purchase of any AI-generated materials. In some cases, the use of AI in any part Agenda Item 4A-1 4 ~~IOWACITY ,~ PUBLIC LIBRARY of a title’s creation, including editing, is considered. They will weed any items in the collection that were inadvertently purchased if they identify artificial intelligence was used in their creation. Others choose not to purchase AI-materials as a rule but will not remove items if they are found in the collection. Some libraries label materials as created by artificial intelligence. Lastly, there are libraries that choose not to address AI specifically in their policy but rely on established policy language to review these materials: range of views, quality, community interest, or popularity. Selection librarians recommend the last approach: relying on current policy language. We added a phrase in 601.21 to consider “quality of a work” in our purchasing standards. This approach allows us to purchase AI materials when needed. But the work, like all items in our collection, would need to meet our criteria: community use and demand, of quality, timely in terms of subject matter. Quality is not the sole consideration. If there is an AI-generated work that the community desires to read, listen, or view, we shouldn’t deny access to it. I attached an overview that speaks to our AI discussion by Nick Tanzi. His August 2025 post, “Addressing AI-generated Materials in the Library Collection,” discusses the different policy approaches and gives context to some issues related to digital collections and the proliferation of AI materials. As an aside, when the news about AI materials in hoopla and OverDrive broke, we looked at our OverDrive collection of audiobooks. We found that we have not purchased AI-narrated materials for that collection. Reconsideration Requests At the September board meeting, we discussed Iowa City’s reconsideration approach. As stated in the September “Intellectual Freedom at the Iowa City Public Library” memo, the Library does not have a formal process for challenges to library materials. This policy is a long-standing one, implemented decades ago. Most public libraries have some form of a reconsideration process that include forms and ad-hoc committees of library staff, Board members, and community volunteers that evaluate reconsideration requests. The argument for a reconsideration request process to set some rules around managing them: who can make a reconsideration request, how many requests can be made by the same individual in a given time period, or how often a request around a single title is reevaluated. At ICPL, we handle complaints about a specific item in the same way any other complaint is handled. Our library values intellectual freedom. If our policy states that we will not remove anything from the collection solely based on an individual or group’s belief, why would we create a process to do just that? If we have a reconsideration process for collections, should other library services, such as programming, displays, community bulletin boards, and internet access, also require a process? Many libraries are incorporating such processes in all of their policies. With every review of this policy, we look at reconsideration request best practices and recommendations from professional organizations. As a commitment to our mission and values, we Agenda Item 4A-2 5 ~~IOWACITY ,~ PUBLIC LIBRARY believe we should keep the policy as is. Committee Recommendations Section Recommendation 601.11 We added “in accordance with the mission and values of the Library” to the purpose statement as our collection reflects the organization’s mission and values. 601.21 We also added “values” to selection guidelines in addition to the “mission” already stated. We added “quality of a work” and “community interest” as selection considerations. Quality of a work speaks to some of the issues related to AI-generated materials discussed above. However, this phrase also addresses other issues related to quality, such as an item’s binding or construction. Community interest covers how we consider local news, upcoming author events or even how an author or a subject performs on our shelves. 601.31 Sentence changed for readability. 601.32 Sentence changed for readability. 601.33 Sentence changed for readability. We added information for the AIM card acronym in the policy for clarity. 601.34 Sentence changed for readability. 601.36 Sentence changed for readability. 601.42 Replaced the word “withdrawn” to the phrase “removed from the collection” for clarity. Action Required Review policy and adopt as amended.

AI-generated books are flooding the marketplace, and AI audiobook narration is increasingly prevalent, sometimes with the assistance of established digital publishing platforms. As the world’s largest online book retailer, Amazon has been negatively impacted by an upsurge in “scam” materials that are meant to imitate popular, highly anticipated releases (think of the book version of mockbuster films), and had to remove nonfiction materials offering incorrect, potentially life-threatening advice! Given how central our collections are to the library’s mission, these industry developments demand our attention. Why it Matters: In February 2025, 404 Media published an expose titled “AI-Generated Slop Is Already In Your Public Library,” confirming the suspicions of many library professionals; that AI generated content is already Agenda Item 4A-4 7 The Digital Librarian ~Alt IOWA CITY ,~ PUBLIC LIBRARY negatively impacting our collections. The article outlined the pervasiveness of low-quality, AI- generated titles in library digital platforms, including Hoopla and Overdrive. In the case of Hoopla, the problem is compounded by two key factors: libraries purchase access to a broad, pre-curated collection they do not select themselves, and they pay per item borrowed. As a result, materials may not meet a library’s acquisition standards, yet increasingly tight budgets are being spent on potentially low-quality, low-interest titles. Additionally, the sheer volume of substandard content can overwhelm our collections, making it harder for users to discover high - quality materials and diminishing the overall browsing experience. The insinuation of AI-generated materials has not spared library audiobook collections either. In late 2024, the website Smart Bitches, Trashy Books explored the rise of AI -narrated titles on Overdrive in the article “AI Audiobook Narrators in OverDrive and the Issue of Library AI Circulation Policy.” In it, a librarian shares their experience stumbling upon a book narrated by “Scarlett Synthesized Voice,” only to identify more than 100 AI narrated titles upon further investigation! The piece notes the overall lack of policy governing AI-generated content within library collections. So Let’s Talk Policy! In considering a policy response to generative AI, we should ask ourselves several questions: What is the intent of my policy? What am I trying to achieve? Such goals may include: •Quality control: avoiding the addition of low-quality/inaccurate additions to the library collection. Does the library distinguish between fiction and non-fiction? An AI hallucination within a piece of fiction may be annoying, but harmless. An AI hallucination within a medical text could have catastrophic consequences! •Transparency: Does the library disclose AI “authorship?”. I say disclose, because AI-generated titles often employ a pseudonym to mask the AI origins. Will you label both physical/digital items to this end? Do you locate these titles in separate collections? •Prohibition: The library has determined that AI-generated content is irreconcilable with the library’s mission and values, and will not add such content to its collection. Do I need a new policy, or can I view AI through an existing policy lens? Libraries all have (or should have) an existing collection development policy. These policies have selection criteria that speak to quality, factual accuracy, and diversity viewpoint. They may require, or at least encourage, that materials are selected based upon reviews from an accepted review source. Applying this criteria will give you some rules of engagement, and may very well exclude a great deal of AI-generated content. I find that much of the language that is used to address self-published titles is often applicable in this new context. Agenda Item 4A-5 8 ~Alt IOWA CITY ,~ PUBLIC LIBRARY Is the policy enforceable? When we set out policy goals, we should ask ourselves, are they achievable? AI content can be notoriously difficult to identify until after it is already acquired. This would make prohibition or even consistent labeling difficult. Here an absolutist stance might be less accurate than one where the library policy states it will make every attempt to acquire human-authored content, or to disclose a title’s AI origins. It is also worth asking yourself how the library will respond to patron requests for AI - generated content within the broader context of your collection development policy. Am I enforcing my policy as written? Consistency is important! For example, if your policy rationale for excluding AI-narrated audiobooks is rooted in quality assurance, then you should be prepared to add AI-generated content when and where the quality is good, assuming it otherwise meets your selection criteria! If you’re finding that adherence to library policy is problematic, then it’s the policy that must change, not your enforcement of it! Looking at Sample Policies Prohibition on AI-Generated Materials The Jasper-Dubois County Public Library in Indiana has a specific AI Generated Materials Policy within their overall in collection development policy. It states “The library is committed to maintaining a collection that reflects human creativity, knowledge, and expertise. As such, the library does not purchase, acquire, or accept donations of books that are primarily generated, authored, or written by artificial intelligence. This policy ensures that our collection upholds quality, authenticity, and intellectual integrity for our community.” Likewise, the General Criteria for Materials Selection of the Cranston Public Library in Rhode Island states simply: “Works that are entirely written by or narrated by artificial intelligence (AI) will not be considered for the collection.” Like many public libraries, a portion of Cranston’s digital collection is cooperatively purchased via a consortium, in this case the Ocean State Libraries (OSL) eZone. There is a separate collection development policy governing this eContent. It states “OSL seeks to avoid all AI generated content in the eZone. All AI content that violates vendor policy of what is allowed in their marketplace will be reported to the vendor.” Middle Ground?: Distinguishing Between Selection Criteria and Weeding Criteria Agenda Item 4A-6 9 ~Alt IOWA CITY ,~ PUBLIC LIBRARY The North Olympic Library System in Washington seeks to exclude AI-generated (included AI- narrated versions of human-authored) materials from their selection criteria, but does not automatically weed this content upon discovery within their collection. Instead, they subject it to their standard weeding criteria, and label it as AI generated within their catalog. Their policy also draws a distinction between AI-generated and AI-assisted works. NOLS respects the intellectual property of human authors and creators. NOLS will make reasonable efforts not to purchase AI-generated content, or AI-generated audio editions of human-created works. AI-generated content inadvertently added to the collection will be labeled as such in the catalog record but will not be weeded unless it meets one or more criteria for weeding (poor circulation, damaged, superseded, etc.). AI-assisted content is permitted in the NOLS collection, subject to the same requirements and criteria as wholly human-authored works. AI-assisted content is work that is written by a human but for which the author used AI tools to edit, refine, or error -check the work. Allowed, with Designation: The Kenosha Public Library in Wisconsin applies their selection criteria to human-authored and AI- generated materials equally, but states “Artificial intelligence-generated content is designated accordingly and is not misrepresented as human- generated content.” Vendor/Distributor Transparency is Essential! Regardless of the specifics of your collection development policy, it is most effective when backed by transparency. This starts with publishers and extends to the vendors and distributors libraries rely on. These intermediaries hold significant purchasing power and can pressure publishers to disclose the use of AI. Likewise, libraries should leverage their collective financial influence to shape vendor practices. Notably, Hoopla has responded positively to library feedback following community concerns about AI-generated content. To preserve the quality of our collections, libraries should insist that AI-generated titles are clearly identified during individual title-level acquisitions, and that platforms offering pre-curated collections provide tools to filter or exclude such content. This level of transparency should also extend to end users, enabling patrons to make informed choices while browsing the library’s collection.

Formerly known as the Cable Television (TV) Channel 20 Programming Policy, early incarnations of the policy covered similar terrain with two major differences: the broadcast method was cable television and, to be a viable TV channel, we created original TV programming and broadcasted public domain works. The previous three-year review removed mention of community recordings that aren’t co-sponsored, strengthened language around American Library Association (ALA) guidelines and staff roles in curation, and clarified that we hosted videos on a third-party server and were tied to their privacy/confidentiality regulations. This review is a regular, three-year policy review. It was reviewed and amended by a staff committee listed below and vetted by the library’s coordinator team. Issues: The committee found no major issues in the review. There was discussion around addressing public comments on YouTube, but this is already part of the Social Media Sites Policy (an Administrative Policy). It was determined that we should add reference to this policy in the “See also” section for clarity. Formatting in the policy was also altered to address screen reader technology preferences with regards to headings and tables. Committee Recommendations: •Add reference to Administrative Policy: Social Media Sites Policy in the “See Also” header. •Modify formatting with regards to section headings and the adoption/revised section to remove the table. Action Required: Review policy and adopt as amended.

I am pleased to announce that Trevor Sherping has joined our team as the next Collection Services Coordinator. Trevor was recently Library Director of the Kalona Public Library. During his tenure, he went fine free, established a Teen Center, and migrated to a new integrated library system. However, his passion is library collections; he brings experience in collection development, cataloging, and reader’s advisory to this position, as well as budgeting and statistics. We are excited to have his knowledge and skills as we approach changes in vendors, computer systems, and other future collection projects. Trevor’s first day is Monday, December 15th. Public Libraries of Johnson County Legislator’s Reception On Monday, December 1st, the Public Libraries of Johnson County held their annual legislative reception in the Digital Media Lab at the Iowa City Public Library. Despite the snowy weather, we had a great response from local legislators. In attendance were Iowa City’s state representatives, a state senator, a Board of Supervisor representative, and a member of City Council as well as representatives from other parts of the county. Library staff, trustees, and Friends Foundation Board members also joined us. Thank you to everyone who attended. The theme of the evening was “public libraries are community.” Each Johnson County library provided a 5-minute overview of how their libraries make connections, serve as a hub, and foster life-long learning. I presented on the wealth of partnerships we’ve built to extend ICPL’s mission through outreach, providing mutual support to community organizations, and offering services that allow other community organizations to succeed, such as display boards and meeting spaces. Brittany Jacobs, the 2026 President of the Iowa Library Association kicked off the meeting by providing an overview of her organization’s legislative priorities, including protecting local control and autonomy, ensuring access for all, and investing in statewide services and stable funding. You can find the full legislative priorities on ILA’s website: https://www.iowalibraryassociation.org/advocacy. If you would like another chance to engage legislators, Iowa Library Association’s annual Capitol Day is Tuesday, February 3rd from 11am to 3pm in the State Law Library of the Capitol building in Des Moines. Closing Procedures On Saturday, November 29th, we closed the library for a winter storm. I wanted to review how we determine whether to close due to snow, ice, and other hazardous winter weather conditions. The Library Director (or their designee) ultimately decides to close the building due to severe winter weather conditions. I consider the following information: Agenda Item 5A-1 22 ~~IOWACITY I"'~ PUBLIC LIBRARY •Current and forecasted weather conditions •Service disruptions of other City operations, including Transit, Senior Center, and Parks and Recreation facilities •Service disruptions of other organizations in our community, such as the University of Iowa and Iowa City Community School District •Road conditions and recommendations from state and local officials on travel safety •Staffing models for the impacted day •Our role as a warming facility during our open hours and weighing the impact of our closure on our community If the library closes, bookmobile services are also suspended. However, we may choose to open the building but take the bookmobile off the road due to inclement weather. The Community and Access Services Coordinator (or their designee) determines whether to cease bookmobile operations. When closed, coordinators and supervisors contact individual staff members in their respective departments as well as volunteers. We post closure information on our website, the City’s website, and local media outlets, such as KCRG. We also issue a press release. Carpet/Furnishings Project Update We made progress on the carpet and furnishings replacement project. The architect and interior designer drafted a specifications document and reviewed it with the library management team. This document is a very detailed project plan and serves as a basis for the flooring portion of the request for proposals. We will provide more information about the request for proposal process at the January Board meeting. Service Milestones At our annual Inservice Day, we celebrate significant milestones of the people of the Iowa City Public Library. This year we celebrate the anniversaries of 12 people, ranging from 5 years to 35 years. Between all of them, we have 195 years of service to ICPL. Congratulations to our honorees and thank you for all your skills, knowledge, and dedication to this library.

This year there is “Snow place like the Library” to stock up on great reads or to attend a program. All ages are invited to participate in a reading BINGO card challenge filled with activities such as “Read a book from the bottom shelf,” “Visit the Bookmobile,” and “Tell a friend about your favorite library book” plus SNOW much more! Make sure to sign up at the Children’s, Info Desk, Bookmobile stop, or online! Outreach and In-reach While I frequently highlight the remarkable outreach our staff delivers throughout the community, we also engage in substantial “in-reach” by welcoming schools and childcare providers into the Library for tours, programs, library card registration, and guided use of our collections. During the past month we hosted several schools groups, including The Ehsan Islamic School, who reached out to us, looking for partnership opportunities. After reviewing a range of options, school officials determined that a monthly in-reach visit would best serve their needs. Founded in 2023, Eshan serves children from kindergarten through 8th grade and features a rigorous and faith-integrated curriculum. We hosted all their students for their first visit on December 2nd, and we look forward to seeing them each month for materials discovery and programs (pictured here). The Tamarack Discovery School, located just a block from the Library, continues its weekly visits to the Ellen Buchanan Children’s Room, where students check out materials, participate in our scavenger hunt, and explore our in-house manipulatives. We also partnered with the Iowa City Community Agenda Item 5B-1 25 ~~IOWACITY ,~ PUBLIC LIBRARY School District Online School Program, which initiated a new quarterly visit schedule. Their first visit took place this month, and we anticipate continued engagement in the quarters ahead (pictured here). Community Partnerships We were pleased to serve as a partner at the Iowa City Parks and Recreation Community Wellness Fair and Day of Play. Library staff hosted a booth highlighting our All Abilities programs and offered an interactive game for attendees (pictured here). I wrapped up the first inaugural season of Grand Babies with the Iowa City Senior Center. Intergenerational storytimes have proven to have significant benefits for not only the little ones and their caregivers, but also for seniors in our community who need social interaction. We look forward to bringing this to the community in the new year. Agenda Item 5B-2 26 ~~IOWACITY ,~ PUBLIC LIBRARY Information Technology Department Report Prepared for the December 18, 2025 Meeting of the Library Board of Trustees Brent Palmer, IT Coordinator ILS Migration Update We continue to make strong progress on migrating our Integrated Library System (ILS). Most of the activity so far has been our ILS administrator exporting different types of existing data and sending it to his counterpart at our vendor so that she can analyze and map it into the new ILS platform. We recently reached the milestone of having an actual test system to see how things will look and run queries against. Just before the go-live date in May, there will be a final export to get the very latest data into the new system. Over the next few months, we will continue to refine how the data is mapped from one system into the other. The next big step in that process is called a scoping session where various staff meet with vendor staff in person to reexamine various workflows that we have now. One of the goals of this session as well as the project as a whole is to see if we can streamline systems and data that we have used for years. Leading up to that meeting, staff in areas like Community and Access Services and Collection Services are diving into the way the data is set up now so that they will be able to make decisions about how to change it when it comes to the migration. Examples include patron categories (for circulation) and how collection items are categorized. Website Migration Alongside the ILS project, we are also working on a major update of our website which is built using an open-source project called Drupal. Drupal has changed significantly since our last update, making this project quite a bit more complicated. Instead of simply migrating our existing content, the site had to be completely rebuilt and the content migrated into the new version. Although the website doesn't have as much data as the ILS, the types of records it contains are many and varied. Examples include events, Bookmobile stops, Local Music Project albums, displays, videos, scavenger hunt lists, privacy records, reference guides, DML hours and board packets. Because many of these records change daily or weekly, we have been developing a mapping tool that will move the content from the current site to the new. Over the past few months, we have been running and rerunning these migrations trying to get them right. The website platform we use is not a premade application that we just plug information into. It's more like an erector set for building websites and applications. There are many modules that provide specific functionality. Whenever we can, we use modules that were built by others to handle many of the aspects scaffolding our website’s features. But we also build our own modules to manage the customized workflow and data here at ICPL. The most complicated example is our event manager (meeting room calendar), a completely customized application that conforms to ICPLs meeting room workflow. It allows patrons to request rooms and staff to review requests. It alerts the Maintenance Agenda Item 5B-3 27 ~~IOWACITY ,~ PUBLIC LIBRARY staff when meetings rooms A, B, and C need to be combined or IT staff to help with equipment. It enables reservations and notifications for events. Events are browsable in both a list view and calendar grid view. The various digital signs in the building are also powered by the website and feature data from the event manager. Each of these features requires custom code to function which meant rewriting a lot of it to work on the new upgraded web platform. Our website is an interactive tool used by staff and patrons every day. This upgrade should provide a basis for developments and features that we have planned for the future. Agenda Item 5B-4 28 ~~IOWACITY ,~ PUBLIC LIBRARY Development Department Report Prepared for the December 18, 2025 Meeting of the Library Board of Trustees Katie Roche, Development Director, ICPL Friends Foundation Book Gala Fundraising Update The November 9, 2025, 32nd Annual Book Gala at Prairie Lights Books was a lively and successful after-hours benefit for the Iowa City Public Library. Guests enjoyed light refreshments while shopping in the welcoming, curated environment; online sales were also included through Prairie Lights’ website, with supporters instructed to type “ICPL Library Sale” in the comment box to ensure their purchases were counted toward the event. Attendees had the opportunity to explore a wide range of books, children’s toys, and other special gifts, with Prairie Lights’ knowledgeable staff offering personalized recommendations. The event continues to be an excellent way to combine community engagement, library support, and local business partnership. A percentage of the night’s total sales will be donated to the ICPL Friends Foundation, bringing in $1,200 contributing to the ongoing programs and services of the Iowa City Public Library. We extend our thanks to Prairie Lights Books, the staff, volunteers, and all attendees whose support makes this annual event a continued success. Year-end support progresses I’m pleased to report that our year-end fundraising campaign is off to an inspiring start. As of December 8, 2025, we raised almost 50% of our $70,000 goal. Many donors shared that they are giving—and giving generously—because of the meaningful impact the Iowa City Public Library has on our community. Their gifts are motivated by the Library’s day-to-day influence, including: •Supporting children and teens with a safe place to learn, explore, and connect —serving thousands of after-school visits each year. •Advancing digital access through free Wi-Fi, public computers, technology help, and device lending for community members who would otherwise be disconnected. •Fostering lifelong learning with programming that ranges from early literacy and STEAM activities to lectures, arts programming, and cultural events for all ages. •Supporting new Iowans with language-learning resources, materials in multiple languages, and programs that help build belonging and connection. •Strengthening community wellbeing through outreach, partnerships, and services that reduce isolation and increase access to opportunity. This early momentum reflects both the strength of ICPL’s mission and the deep trust our community places in the Library. We will continue to share these impactful stories throughout December to sustain our progress. I look forward to updating the Board as we move toward reaching —and hopefully surpassing—our year-end fundraising goal. Agenda Item 5C-1 29 ~~IOWACITY ,~ PUBLIC LIBRARY Arts & Crafts Bazaar The 2025 Arts & Crafts Bazaar was once again a vibrant showcase of creativity, community spirit, and support for the Iowa City Public Library. While we received fewer handmade donations this year —likely due to the shorter window between Thanksgiving and the sale—the quality and variety of items remained exceptional. Shoppers enjoyed a beautiful selection of quilts, knit wear, baby items, bookmarks, toys, and many other unique creations crafted by local artists and library supporters. This year’s event also featured the warm and well-attended Maker’s Celebration, bringing together crafters, donors, and community members to highlight the talent and generosity that make this event possible. Our goal for the 2025 Bazaar was to raise $7,000, and the initial weekend sale brought in $5,944. Following tradition, a post-event sale for ICPL staff is now under way, and additional items are available for purchase in The Book End. Based on early interest, we are optimistic that these supplemental sales will bring us close to achieving our goal. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who donated handcrafted items and to the many community members who shopped the sale. And a special thank you goes to the staff and volunteers who dedicated their time and creativity to preparing, organizing, and staffing the event. Their efforts ensure that the Arts & Crafts Bazaar continues to be a beloved annual fundraiser for the Library.

Generational gaps are being bridged at the Iowa City Senior Center and Iowa City Public Library’s new reading program, Grand Babies Storytime with Little Ones. The series invites local parents and families to join seniors for a community story hour. It’s designed to create new relationships and form literary experiences for the youth. Agenda Item 8A-1 32 The Daily Iowan THE IND'EPENDE T NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA COMMUNITY SINCE 1868 ~Alt IOWA CITY ,~ PUBLIC LIBRARY Angie Pilkington leads a c hildren's play hour at th .'enior C:enrer in Iowa C:icy on \Vednesday, 'ov. 19. 2025. Th next cm is on Uecemb r 14 , and is frequ mly attend d by regu lar fa.mili with ch ir babies. The Grand Babies event meets once a month at the Senior Center, and is free to the public. This event is a new experience where both senior citizens and the youth can indulge in stories and form bonds with people they may not have otherwise met. “It’s a way for generations to connect with the community, although the turnout for these events hasn’t been too high in numbers.” Angela Pilkington, the children’s services coordinator at the Iowa City Public Library, said. “Intergenerational story times have proven to have significant benefits for not only the little ones and their caregivers, but also for seniors in our community who just need social interaction,” Pilkington said. “Sometimes just that small quantity of people is what’s needed at the start. But consistency is the key, and we’ll keep building the community bigger each time.” With these events being new, not many people know about them besides a handful of parents and frequent visitors to the senior center. The organizers hope to have more people turn up to these events as time goes on. “We’d like to build a community and learn about each other, and what benefits we can all share within different age groups. Interacting together just builds a stronger community, builds a stronger city, and a stronger network,” Pilkington said. For some, it can be the only interaction they get, or the only connections they have to the outside world. In some cases, it can just be a warm event that helps others connect to those around them. Iowa City Senior Center Director Latasha DeLoach said core parts of the event’s mission is to prevent people from being isolated and providing joy. “It’s important for seniors to have people in their lives who can check in on them, so why not have some younger families come together and share some love,” DeLoach. DeLoach said the storytime brings together two generations to make a stronger and safer community. During each storytime event, seniors sit in a semi-circle with kids sitting quietly in their strollers, listening along. The seniors read books ranging from “The Rainbow Fish” to “Little Red Ridinghood,” or listen to songs, which play in the background. Through this event, the seniors get a chance to engage with the infants and toddlers, while the kids get to enjoy time outside their home with others. Jessica Bremer, a parent who frequents these events, said the storytimes are especially important for those who don’t have family in the area or to make new friends. “We’re not near any family, and it’s important for my daughter to be able to see older folks and interact with them. It’s important for more people to come, especially for the folks in the senior center, and those at the library as well,” Bremer said. “I know it can be hard for parents, but it really is fun for the kids too, with songs and stories.” Agenda Item 8A-2 33 ~~I OWACITY I'~ PUBLIC LIBRARY Fully Booked at ICPL: Timeless gifts for teen readers Victoria Fernandez | November 24, 2025 https://littlevillagemag.com/fully-booked-at-icpl-timeless-gifts-for-teen-readers/ A great book gifted by someone special in your life, especially during your formative years, can become a keepsake. I regularly purge décor, art, clothes and, yes, books, but my permanent reading collection is a part of my identity. This list of books for youth in middle and high school runs the gamut of genre and style — some are classics and some brand new, but hopefully a few will end up on your favorite readers’ forever bookshelves. The Hunger Games series has resonated consistently with YA readers since it debuted 17 years ago. Maybe it’s the enduring conflicts of class, power, greed and inequity, contrasted with stories of love, rebellion and sacrifice, that keeps audiences compelled. At any rate, it comes as no surprise that the new prequel Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins was greeted as another stellar entry in an already powerful set. Ibi Zoboi’s groundbreaking contemporary novel-in-verse fantasy (S)kin is a rollercoaster of a read, and perfect for reluctant readers. It’s rich in Caribbean folklore, specifically the myth of soucouyants: skin- shedding shapeshifter women who suck the souls of their victims. Agenda Item 8A-3 34 LITTLE VILLAGE Jndependen Iowa News, C lture & E ent ~Alt IOWA CITY ,~ PUBLIC LIBRARY The queer romantic thriller The Corruption of Hollis Brown centers on the titular Brown, a blue-collar boy stuck in a town with no way out, and his intriguing bond with Walt, a spirit with unfinished business and demons to exorcise. K. Ancrum writes in very short, easily digestible one-page sections. I see the lingering effects the pandemic has had on our youth, but hadn’t read a piece on the topic that resonated with me until A Bird in the Air Means We Can Still Breathe by Mahogany L. Browne, interconnecting prose and poems tackling grief, loss, resilience and hope in New York City during COVID-19. I suspect this title will help many young people come to terms with some of their own feelings around 2020. The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton transformed YA literature by smashing norms of what such stories could look like. The 1967 coming-of-age novel about rival street gangs — turned 1983 movie, turned 2024 Tony Award-winning musical — is a timeless classic. Another great classic for lovers of action and adventure is The Call of the Wild by Jack London, told entirely from the perspective of a dog named Buck who was kidnapped and forced to work as a sled dog during the Klondike gold rush. It’s a hard read, but opens an opportunity for constructive dialogue about difficult topics. Victoria Fernandez is the Teen Services Librarian at the Iowa City Public Library.

Agenda Item 8A-4 35 ~Alt IOWA CITY ,~ PUBLIC LIBRARY ICPL Board Calls for Preservation of Iowa City’s State Historical Research Center City of Iowa City sent this bulletin at 10/21/2025 04:27 PM CDT https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/IAIOWA/bulletins/3fc8822 Having trouble viewing this email? View it as a Web page. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Date: 11/21/2025 Contact: Manny Galvez Phone: 319-356-5241 ICPL Board Calls for Preservation of Iowa City’s State Historical Research Center The State Historical Society of Iowa (SHSI) first opened an Iowa City location in 1857, forty years before the founding of the Iowa City Public Library. For almost 175 years, Iowans have accessed and entrusted the Iowa City SHSI location to conduct research on Iowa history and genealogy and to preserve their own artifacts and legacies. Patrons of ICPL and surrounding libraries are routinely referred to the SHSI for precisely this purpose-- to seek and preserve information important to Iowans and the history of our state. The Iowa City SHSI collection includes artifacts as diverse as archives of local newspapers, personal papers of prominent Iowans, historic court records, old Iowa City Council records, the archives of Iowa City's now-closed public access television station, and more. These records are important to preserving the unique identity of Iowa City, Johnson County, and the state as a whole. On June 17, 2025, the SHSI announced that it would be closing the Iowa City branch by the end of December. This decision was made despite current Iowa law (Iowa Code BA.707(2)) requiring that the Department of Administrative Services Agenda Item 8A-5 36 [0 SHARE IOWA CITY PUBLIC LIBRARY ~Alt IOWA CITY ,~ PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES "shall... Maintain research centers in Des Moines and Iowa City." Keeping a research center in Iowa City is not optional. Despite the requirements of state law, the SHSI has moved forward with moving collections from Iowa City to Des Moines. These delicate collections often require special handling. In a shocking display of disregard for the trust Iowans have shown in the SHSI to preserve our precious history, the SHSI has hired unqualified prison laborers to move the collections to Des Moines. On the first day of work, they left materials outdoors in rainy conditions. The deaccession (removal) process for materials from SHSI collections includes removing materials that "a. Are no longer deemed relevant and appropriate for the collections; or b. Have deteriorated beyond repair and usefulness; or c. Pose danger to other parts of the collections." After staying out in rainy conditions, how many records that were once whole are now deteriorated beyond repair and usefulness, or pose a danger to other parts of the collections? Deaccessions also require a public hearing. If those hearings only take place in Des Moines, do they truly give fair access to the public that has long invested in the Iowa City SHSI artifacts? We don't doubt that the Des Moines SHSI staff want as much as anyone to preserve the state's history. But the Iowa City branch has special meaning, and special collections, to the people of Iowa City and Johnson County, the populations that ICPL serves. Based on what has occurred to date, it does not appear that the collections can be safely or legally removed from the Iowa City branch location. In addition, many of the locally important materials cannot be taken on by local organizations; they lack the expertise or the space to house those collections. The Library Board of Trustees of the ICPL therefore joins the Iowa City Council and the American Historical Association in calling for the Iowa City Research Center of the SHSI to remain in place and open to the public. Barring that, we call for the collections to be moved by qualified individuals with the greatest care taken to maintain their integrity, and for the public hearings on deaccession to take place in Iowa City rather than Des Moines. Adopted and approved by the Iowa City Public Library Board of Trustees on November 20, 2025.

Approval of November 20, 2025 Board Meeting Agenda. Boothroy made a motion to approve the November 20, 2025 Board Meeting Agenda. Fox seconded. Motion passed 8/0. Public Discussion. None. Items to be Discussed. Building and Carpet Discussion with Engberg Anderson. Mangano introduced Joe Huberty, Principal Architect at Engberg Anderson and the original building architect in 2004. Mangano introduced Isela Catania, Senior Associate and Interior Designer at Engberg Anderson. Mangano shared Huberty and Catania would discuss the upcoming carpet replacement project and future facility plan. Agenda Item 9A-1 41 ~~ IOWA CITY ,~ PUBLIC LIBRARY Huberty and Catania shared a presentation on Zoom. Catania shared the scope of the carpet replacement project and shared a map of the public areas in the building where flooring would be replaced. Catania noted Iowa City Public Library is a highly trafficked building and after 20 years of carpet use, the replacement carpet should have equivalent quality and value to last another 20 years. Catania felt more resilient flooring was needed in the Teen Room, 2nd floor vending area, and Story Time Room. Catania shared pictures of carpet samples and explained staff selected a biophilic pattern with natural and organic elements to connect to nature. Catania showed examples of how the various shades of blue and grey carpet tiles could transition throughout the building. Mangano displayed the real carpet samples in the Board Room. Paetzold asked what the lifespan of the selected carpet was. Catania said the manufacturer's standard is 10-15 years. Fox asked about the lifespan of luxury vinyl tile. Isela said the same, and it is important to make sure that the flooring is maintained per the manufacturer’s recommendations. Noting, if it is not cleaned or maintained it will break down. Paetzold asked how large the carpet tiles were. Catania said the samples in the Boardroom were the exact size that would be used. Catania said the tiles staff selected had a larger surface area, would hide traffic, and be easy for staff to maintain. Schweigel-Skeers asked how long it had been since the computer perimeter had changed and asked if it was expected to be static. Mangano shared part of the carpet replacement project included replacing the computer furniture, and she hoped the furniture would last 15-20 years. Paulios said a constraint is the location of the data and electric ports. Paetzold asked if Brad Gehrke, Building Manager, had any concerns. Mangano said Gehrke has been part of the process and is happy with the selection. Huberty discussed the phasing of the project. Huberty said it was important to take into consideration avoiding offsite storage (for costs), minimizing the time in which the building would be out of commission (for patrons), and working to allow controlled access (for staff). Huberty said it was important to make sure patrons were aware of the project, stating it would be noisy. Huberty showed diagrams of the phasing which balanced all three considerations and worked on specific sections of the building at a time. Phase 1 involves moving the collection and furniture by compressing it to make room for work to be done. In this phase, it will be possible for staff to retrieve library materials, but access will be minimal. Phase 2 is when demolition occurs; the carpet will be removed, and the cement floor will be grinded smooth. This phase will be noisy, last 3-4 days, and is required for the warranty of the carpet. Phase 3 is carpet installation. During the phases, partitions will be installed to separate patrons from demolition zones and control dust. These phases will be repeated in different sections of the building, and the work will begin on the 2nd floor first. Meeting Room A will be utilized for multiple purposes throughout the project. Huberty shared the first floor of the building is more challenging and there will be a short period of time when the building will be closed. Massa asked what a typical contractors’ schedule would be like. Huberty said typical shifts begin at 6:30 AM and are done by 3 PM, with attempts to balance noisy activities very early in the morning to mitigate impact on patrons. Paetzold asked if there would be air quality concerns for staff. Huberty shared air Agenda Item 9A-2 42 ~~IOWACITY ,~ PUBLIC LIBRARY quality is a concern when grinding and moving shelves. Huberty said work areas would be partitioned with plastic sheeting, and air filters would need to be changed when each section of the project is completed. Catania shared slides for new computer tables and said staff preferred to move towards a benching system and maintain 40 computer stations. Huberty then shared statistical trends and peer library comparison data. Iowa City Public Library is first in its peer group in large Iowa libraries in terms of circulation, programming, and building use. ICPL has the most dense use per square foot in Iowa, doing all its services with only one downtown location and one bookmobile. Huberty said there is a reason the building feels strained. Huberty shared the number of computer stations for patrons was working well. Huberty identified ways in which the building could be improved such as adding more meeting room space, a larger children’s room with lower shelving, having bookmobile parking, more staff workspace in the Community & Access Services department, a larger teen room, updating worn furniture, and updating staff work areas as workflows change from paper to digital models. Huberty said the nonfiction collection has seen a shift in use as people regularly access how-to information online. Huberty presented trends in public libraries and emphasized the importance of adaptable spaces to accommodate growth. Huberty felt in the next ten years, the Iowa City Public Library would need at least an additional 5,000 - 6,000 square feet in the building to accommodate an expected population growth of 100,000 people in Iowa City. This growth will add pressure to the building, and Huberty proposed adding 12,000 – 13,000 additional sq foot, which would be the maximum the downtown site could accommodate. Huberty said the community would need to look for other locations in the city for a branch in the future. Patrick-Ferree observed there were no restrooms or nursing rooms in his presentation. Huberty shared there were wellness rooms identified, two in the public zone and in the staff zone. Huberty said public restrooms are driven by state code, and there could be allocated space for gender neutral restrooms. Paetzold noted that Huberty said ICPL is undersized for its usage, and asked what is the critical point where services start to significantly deteriorate? Huberty said ICPL has crossed that threshold in the Teen Room and Children’s Room. Huberty showed a map of Iowa City noting that the average travel times to get to the downtown location was currently 10-15 minutes. As Iowa City grows, the projected travel time to get to the library will also increase, deterring patrons from the downtown location, especially as the North and Southeast neighborhoods grow. Huberty said the bookmobile does bridge some of the gaps for patrons, and staff have made a significant effort to identify neighborhoods for stops. The bookmobile’s flexibility is wonderful, but there are limits, noting it can’t be somewhere all day every day. Huberty suggested that in ten years the library should be thinking of adding a branch. Mangano said the City of Iowa City anticipates Iowa City growing in the Scott Blvd. area. Paetzold felt adding a branch would be a significant Agenda Item 9A-3 43 ~~IOWACITY ,~ PUBLIC LIBRARY challenge. Huberty presented a diagram to help solve the current shortfalls in the building. Huberty proposed expanding the Children’s Room to take over more of the first floor with its own large meeting room. Fox exited the meeting at 6:29 PM. Huberty proposed combining meeting rooms A, B, & C for a larger meeting space. He also proposed adding more meeting room spaces on the 2nd floor amongst the fiction and nonfiction collections, Teen Room, Digital Media Lab, Page Station, and study rooms. Fox entered the meeting at 6:33 PM. Huberty proposed adding a garage for the bookmobile in the existing staff break room. He also proposed adding a third-floor event space with a stage to seat 250 people, a green roof, a terrace, space for storage, restrooms, a refreshment zone, and a reading room. Mangano requested trustees to send her feedback on the presentation. Mangano shared that Huberty & Catania would also present at staff Inservice Day. Patrick-Ferree asked if calm sensory spaces were in the proposed plan. Huberty said a study room space could be used for this function. Paetzold asked if the presented design showed a reduction in the adult collection. Huberty agreed and shared the children’s collection would grow and aspects of the adult collection (such as how-to nonfiction) would shrink. Paetzold asked if that was the only collection reduction proposed. Huberty said the proposal is looking ahead over the next ten years, and that it is loosely arranged, with most of the merchandising on the first floor. Huberty shared the adult collection is the size of the marketplace, music, and DVD collection now. Huberty imagined the collection would take on new formats over the next ten years as patron use and technologies would change, noting the importance of a community-specific approach. Mangano said there was not enough space for the current adult fiction and children’s collection to breathe, noting materials are often weeded and Huberty’s proposal would give space for the collection to grow. Mangano felt a marketplace on the first floor would allow staff to create displays to bring patrons upstairs. Paetzold asked if longer circulation periods would help with that. Fox felt longer circulation periods would result in longer waiting times. Paetzold said during the pandemic patrons were asked not to return their library materials because there wasn’t enough space for the entire collection in the building. Mangano said this might need to happen again during the carpet replacement project. Huberty said the slides presented at the meeting could be made available to the trustees. Paetzold proposed adjusting the November Library Board Meeting Agenda due to time constraints. There was consensus amongst the trustees. Policy Review: 101 Bylaws. None. Item moved to December meeting. Policy Review: 601 Collection Development. None. Item moved to December meeting. Advocacy Statement. Agenda Item 9A-4 44 ~~IOWACITY ,~ PUBLIC LIBRARY Patrick-Ferree said the background information was not intended to be part of the draft and asked for feedback and a vote. Patrick-Ferree noted an injunction had been issued, and it was now prohibited to move the collection to Des Moines, at the moment. The injunction is based on a statute that requires the State Historical Society to have an Iowa City location; the state however could change what the statute says. Due to this possibility, Patrick-Ferree felt it was important to get a statement out soon. Massa clarified that the other document in the packet was the City Council’s statement. Raeburn said the statement Patrick-Ferree presented was very convincing and felt the Library Board should accept it right away. Raeburn made a motion to approve the statement on the closing of the Iowa City location of the State Historical Society. Schweigel-Skeers seconded. Paetzold asked how the statement should be distributed. Patrick-Ferree said in the way that other board statements have been distributed, such as on the library website with the advocacy statements. Paetzold asked if the working group discussed other media outlets. Patrick-Ferree said the working group did not discuss it but felt a press release was a good idea. Motion passed 8/0. Staff Reports. Director’s Report. Mangano shared she and Royer would meet with the City Manager’s office to review the FY27 budget request. Mangano said she received state and local RSVPs for the Legislator’s Reception on December 1st. Mangano also reminded trustees about Inservice Day, noting Royer shared the agenda. Departmental Reports: Adult Services. None. Community & Access Services. None. Development Report. None. President’s Report. None. Announcements from Members. Fox asked if there were estimates for the Book Gala fundraising event at Prairie Lights. Mangano didn’t have data but said it was the busiest Book Gala so far and compared it to the weekend before Christmas. Foundation Updates. None. Advocacy Updates. None. Communications. News Articles. None. Consent Agenda. Approve Minutes of the Library Board of Trustees October 23, 2025, Regular Meeting. Approve Disbursements for October 2025.

There was discussion about which items to keep on the December agenda. It was determined that the continuing education portion scheduled for December should be moved to January. The December meeting should include reviewing the following policies: 703 Recording & Streaming, 101 Bylaws, and 601 Collection Development. Adjournment. Fox made a motion to adjourn the meeting.
