703 Naming and Recognition Policy
Proposal: A routine, three-year review of the Naming and Recognition Policy.
Issues: This policy specifies the process and parameters for naming within the Iowa City Public
Library in recognition of extraordinary generosity. The City of Iowa City’s Naming Policy is
related in that it governs naming city owned buildings, facilities and parcels of real estate.
The review committee conferred with Eric Goers, Assistant City Attorney, t o determine whether
the ICPL Policy remains in compliance with the City’s Naming Policy. He reported that there are
no conflicts between the two policies.
Staff Recommendation: No changes.
Action: Review
Prepared by: Patty McCarthy, Development Director, May 19, 2020
Review Committee: Elsworth Carman (Director), and Patty McCarthy (Development Director).
BP052820005
705: Naming and Recognition Policy
See also City Naming Policy (Resolution 11-70 adopted 3/1/11)
705.1 The purpose of the naming and recognition policy is to enable the Iowa City Public Library to
encourage and recognize extraordinary generosity on the part of individuals, families,
businesses, nonprofit organizations, and other donors as well as to acknowledge exceptional
achievement in service to the Iowa City Public Library.
705.2 Other than as described here recognition provided to donors or others in support of the Library
is the responsibility of the Library Director. This includes naming of specific programs and
services; and collection items, equipment, or furnishings purchased with gift money.
705.3 This policy covers naming of physical spaces and items including, but not limited to: meeting
rooms, reading areas, special use areas, walkways, equipment, furniture and art. It does not
cover naming the building which is reserved for the Iowa City City Council.
705.4 An ad-hoc committee including the Board president, Vice-President, and Board representatives
to the Iowa City Public Library Friends Foundation Board, the Library Director and the Library
Development Director will make decisions regarding naming proposals. Naming proposals may
be sent to the Committee by the Library Director, the Development Director, Library Board of
Trustees member, or any Iowa City Public Library Friends Foundation board member. Proposals
must include a naming opportunity agreement containing conditions, terms and payment
schedule for the contribution. A donor’s name may remain confidential during the review
process. If approved by the Committee the Library Board will be informed of the donor’s name,
the amount of the gift, the area or item to be named, and the general category of the donor
(individual, corporation, etc.).
705.5 The Library Director or any Library Board member may recommend naming an area for other
than monetary contributions.
705.6 The manner of recognition will be determined by the Library Director or designee in
cooperation with the Development Director.
705.7 Named spaces must include the function of the area, e.g., The “Children’s Room,” the “Meeting
Room” in addition to the donor or honoree’s name.
705.8 The naming of a physical space or item confers no property rights or interest upon the donor,
individual or entity. Maintenance, restoration, repair and/or security of the named space or
item will be assumed by the Library based on budget and priorities.
705.8 The Board of Trustees may, at any time, end the named recognition of a physical space or item.
Recognition may end if an area is closed, redesigned or repurposed; or an item is replaced. The
Board may terminate or alter a naming designation under unusual or extraordinary
circumstances.

815 Internet Use Policy
Proposal: A routine, three-year review of the Internet Use Policy.
Issues: Beyond a larger campaign in 1997 regarding a public education campaign to help children and families
better understand the “benefits and perils,” the topics in this policy have remained fairly consistent. This
policy was first adopted in 1995 and highlighted the usefulness of the internet to information seekers,
outlined time limits, and provided clear guidelines that the Library is not responsible for information found
online and won’t act in loco parentis. A section regarding curation of online resources was removed in 2008,
likely because this was better addressed as a topic for collection development.
Computer use sessions in the building are continually decreasing, though last fiscal year we still provided over
68,000 sign-ins. The 5-year (2014-2018) American Community Survey estimate for households with a
broadband and internet subscription was 87.7% for Johnson County. And a July 2019 Cedar Rapids Gazette
article claimed “about 6,000 Johnson County residents do not have access to 25 Mbps wired broadband”
https://www.thegazette.com/subject/news/broadband-iowa-internet-providers-coverage-cost-20190715.
The policy is displayed prior to login for all Pharos-run computers in the building so that users understand the
intended use. Staff refer to the policy most often with regards to limiting use based on time limits and patron
complaints regarding screen images. The policy language is intentionally vague with regards to time limits due
to the variety of computer locations and their corresponding time limits as well as to be flexible with
alterations based on availability. Although the Library does not use filtering software, if another patron’s
ability to use the library is impacted by what is displayed on a screen, staff may intervene by asking a patron to
refrain from viewing that content.
In late 2019, due to demand for computer use with privacy options (Skype interviews, audio-only tests)
procedures were written to allow Digital Media Lab members and valid adult ICPL cardholders (Resident, Open
Access, Temporary) to checkout in-house laptops for two hours with the use of a Study Room. Since 2016, iPad
tablets for children have been further locked down to remove the internet browser and YouTube and only
allow downloaded games. There was discussion regarding the wording of 815.7; when conduct warrants, a
patron is usually asked to leave the facility rather than lose access to a specific library service. We left this
language alone in order to remain flexible for special cases, though agreed it would be difficult to enforce.
Staff Recommendations:
1. This was rewritten in 2016 to better emphasize the importance of providing internet access, the
updated language here simply clarifies it as a purpose statement to better conform to ICPL policy
language.
2. Updated Library locations to include Bookmobile. Updated scope of in-house offerings to include in-
house laptop lending and exclude tablets as these only allow for game play and so are outside of the
scope of the policy.
3. Minor edits: updated related policies to include 801 (library cards are required for some access), 802
(policy name change), 809 (policy name change); altered capitalization of ‘internet’ in accordance with
style guide recommendations from Chicago Manual, AP Stylebook. MLA, APA guides still use
capitalization.
Action: Review and adopt as amended.

Iowa City Public Library
Circulation Return to Work Report
Prepared for the Iowa City Public Library Board of
Trustees Meeting
May 28, 2020
Introduction
The Circulation Return to Work committee has been meeting to plan how to restart Library
circulation once we have infrastructure in place for staff members to safely return to work. We
all understand that we will return to different working conditions and there may be additional
changes depending on the course of the virus, community demand and staff safety. Library staff
have tremendous capacity and a willingness to serve with a healthy dose of caution and
expectations for safe work conditions.
We reviewed what other libraries are doing and sought best practices for returning to work.
Coralville Public Library staff provided invaluable input and we were especially impressed with
the curbside pickup system and information at Ames Public Library. A preview is at:
https://www.amespubliclibrary.org/curbside
Work Teams and Scheduling
Most Library staff who work on public service desks will be assigned to one of five work teams.
The teams are comprised of 5-6 individuals. The teams will work together as a unit and limit
interactions with other staff. This is purposeful planning in case we have a staff member who
gets sick. It is easier to take one team of 5-6 staff out of the rotation who need to quarantine at
home rather than lose all staff. The expectation is that when a team is scheduled, they will be in
the building. Other staff will not be in the building unless they have a specific work purpose and
permission of their coordinator. During this time, staff will continue to perform work duties at
home as they are able to.
The first week staff are back, teams will be scheduled for two 4-hour shifts. We anticipate there
will be a lot of “work” involved with coming back to work including learning new routines,
learning to wear a mask for an extended period and learning new assigned job tasks.
The second week staff are back, two teams will be scheduled at a time. One team will work
from Noon to 5 pm and the other team will work 1 to 6 pm on weekdays. Weekends will rotate
between the 5 teams and staff will be scheduled 9:30 am to 1:30 pm.
The team scheduled from Noon to 5 pm will be assigned to what we are calling “Back” duties.
These include shelving, shifting collections and organizing collections so they will be easily
accessed once we begin Paging checked in materials or the public begins to use the building
again.
BP052820009
2
The team scheduled from 1 to 6 pm will be assigned to what we are calling “Front” duties.
These include checking in materials, holds processing, sending hold notices and assisting with
Downtown Curbside Pickup.
Circulation Services that will be Reintroduced
Project management skills are needed to bring our circulation service back online. There are
many moving pieces and coordination of the movement of materials.
Our first priority is to clear the Holds shelf. This work includes removing all Holds that patrons
have canceled. Then we will contact everyone with remaining Holds to ask 1) Do you still want
the Hold? If so, 2) Do you want it mailed via US Mail (note – we will not mail equipment, kits or
oversize materials) or 3) Do you want to sign-up for a time to pick the item up at the Downtown
building?
Our second priority is checking in all materials returned to the build ing since March. As of the
writing of this report, 5 of 16 bins of materials have been checked in. Some of these materials
are on hold so this work will generate new Holds that must be followed up on. In the short-
term, items on Hold are being checked out to an in -house card until we are ready to contact
patrons (see paragraph above).
Our next priority is to begin providing access to Holds. This includes mailing materials via US
Mail and curbside pickup at the Downtown building. We envision a reservation system where
Holds may be picked up from 3-6 pm on weekdays and 10 am – 1 pm on Saturdays. These times
may expand or contract depending on demand and staff availability to support this service.
Our next priority is to restart the At Home materials by mail program. We anticipate increased
enrollment in this service by individuals who live in our service area and, due to health or other
issues, will need materials by mail for an extended period to use physical Library materials.
Quarantine of Returned Materials
Materials returned to the building are quarantined a minimum of 72 hours before they are
checked in. To support this, our 1-day grace period will be extended to 6 days.
Curbside Pickup
When patrons arrive, they will find a sign outside:
Iowa City Public Library
Curbside Pick-up
When you arrive, please call the Library at 319-to be determined.
If you do not have a cell phone, please approach the table near the bike rack and
summon staff for assistance.
Please tell us if you are a walk-up or parked in a 20-minute spot.
We will retrieve your Holds and place them on a table near the bike racks.
If you are unable to come to the table, please let us know.
We will place the items in your vehicle.
BP052820010
3
Based on our reservation system, we will have Holds checked out and waiting in Meeting Room
D for patrons when they call. The outside pickup location will be near the bike racks by the Staff
Entrance. The space is covered and close to the 20-minute parking spaces. Signs will be created
to help patrons maintain social distancing.
We will accommodate patrons without a reservation; however, their service will take longer.
When someone calls to pick-up their Hold(s) staff will retrieve Hold(s) from the sorting table,
confirm it is for the patron who called and take the Hold(s) to a table sitting outside the building
for the patron to retrieve or place the Hold(s) in the patron’s vehicle if requested.

Conclusion
We are unsure about what the future holds for circulation of physical library materials during
the pandemic. We do know this plan will change. We also know our staff wants to serve our
community and are committed to doing this in a safe way.
BP052820011
Director’s Report: May 2020
Staffing Changes: Transitioning Back into the Building
A small number of staff members have started working in the building, and thus far our
social distancing and PPE protocols are working well. Two Community and Access
Services staffers—Terri Byers and Tom Jordan—have done a great job of checking in
many bins of our returned materials. We have also had a few vendors in to take care of
projects we had scheduled, including work on the building paging system and window
washing. We plan to have additional staff return to the building to work on the holds
pickup initiative, as detailed in the “Circulation Return to Work” document included in
this packet.
Most staff continue to work from home, including those who are assigned to the
committees developing models for re-establishing onsite services. The committee
working on designing our curbside pickup has completed a model for a contact -free
curbside pickup, and we anticipate starting this very soon. The technology access team
is also making good progress on developing solutions for connecting patrons with library
technology, which will be our focus after curbside pickup is implemented.
Plexiglass Update
We received a bid back from PlexiCraft for the fabrication of plexiglass barriers for our
service points. The cost is well within our budget and the vendor estimates our install
will be completed within three weeks.
COVID-19 Closure and Fines
Our unexpected closure has had an impact on fine revenue, which will affect the
scheduled June update for going fine free. I would like to hear how the Board wants to
proceed with this report; we could complete the report as planned, with unusual activity
for the last two and a half months, or we could push the report out and hope lending
trends balance back out and provide a more accurate picture. Similarly, I suggest we
suspend fines on all materials through either the end of summer or the end of the
calendar year, which would dissuade patrons from rushing back with returns (and
creating a backlog for staff). Due dates for all checked out materials are currently
automatically extended and will be set for return three weeks after the Library reopens.
Kara Logsden Retirement
Kara Logsden will be retiring on June 5th after nearly 22 years with the Iowa City Public
Library. Kara has managed many successful projects throughout her tenure at ICPL,
and we wish her all the best as she checks the final box off her ICPL employment list.
(Fun fact: Even if she missed a few, Kara has been to more than 250 ICPL Board
Meetings.)

Adult Services Department Report
Prepared for the April 23, 2020 Meeting of the Iowa City Public Library Board of Trustees
Jason Paulios, Adult Services Coordinator
Internal promotions, update on open positions
I began my new position in mid-February and a search for a new Senior Librarian began soon after with a
number of remarkable internal candidates applying. Brian Visser was selected as our new Senior Librarian in late
March, he has been at ICPL since 2008, most recently as Adult Services Librarian II responsible for services to
teens. He officially began his new position while working remotely after we closed the library due to COVID-19.
Starting a new job is stressful enough without also pairing that with a global health pandemic! Also problematic
is an ending to a storied library career happening via Zoom video chats and email. Heidi Lauritzen, Supervising
Librarian in charge of Switchboard and Interlibrary Loan, will be retiring at the start of May. She’s been at ICPL
since 1998, previously serving as the Director of the Coralville Public Library. We plan to have a proper
celebration of her career when social distancing restrictions are lifted and we can gather in person to praise her
talents! Elsworth and I will be conducting remote interviews for her position April 20-21st. Edits to Brian’s former
position are being made and that job will be posted shortly.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) updates
The detection of Coronavirus in our community at the beginning of March changed everything. Regular
operating procedures had to be quickly altered and most of the work for scheduled events and long-term
planning were thrown out the window. The annual partnership with the University-run VITA program providing
free tax preparation was just getting into a rhythm and they were ramping up for the usual deluge of later filing
before the closure. The IRS filing date extension to July 15 gives us some hope for revisiting VITA efforts this
summer but with University closure through June 15 it is unknown whether we’ll be able to finish the program
this year. We’d been excitedly preparing for the decennial Census count since January, meeting regularly with a
group made up of City, County, University, and local nonprofits to get out the word regarding this important
program. ICPL had departmental efforts underway in March prior to the closure including public poster displays,
children’s storytimes, and live help from the Info Desk for those needing tech support or without internet
access. Iowa currently sits at a 55.7% self-response rate which is in the top tier of states, we finished with 73% in
2010 so we still have a long way to go.
We’ve had to completely pivot to a remote work lifestyle and, as expected, ICPL employees responded
admirably. We kept cardholder account and reference help going through our website and have a plan in place
now to reintroduce phone service by the end of the month. Melody has produced a comprehensive guide to
COVID-19 resources for our users with answers to everything from how to get a Driver’s License replaced to
emergency financial and food help locations. Edited portions of this resource will be printed as posters to be
placed in our windows to help those patrons that don’t have internet access. Staff quickly mobilized and had to
completely redesign program and class offerings for Zoom video meet-ups, and are experimenting with other
live social media outlets in order to continue our efforts to promote life-long learning and remaining engaged
with the library. Candice created an audio tour of the Pest House in Hickory Hill Park that was very well received.
Finally, a heartwarming success story from prior to the COVID-19 closure:
• Stacey reports: We are always gratified to see Digital Media Lab class attendees back in the lab, applying
their new skills. A week after a recent “Make Your Own Custom Coloring Page” class, I ran into a patron who
showed off several more coloring pages she’d made in the meantime. In addition to her plans to make a
whole coloring book for her granddaughters, she also made a coloring page of her apartment building’s
entryway. When she showed it to her landlord, it sparked the idea for a coloring contest among their
residents, and she’ll even get a discount on her rent in exchange for her artwork and the community-
building idea!

Digital Collection Use
Prepared for the May 28th, 2020 Meeting of the Iowa City Public Library Board of Trustees
Anne Mangano, Collection Services Coordinator
Like many libraries across the country, Iowa City Public Library patrons are using our digital collections in
unprecedented numbers. We’ve seen steady growth in the use of these collections since their inception,
but we have never witnessed such a sharp spike in use as we have seen during our closure. This report is
a spotlight on some of the statistics of our streaming and downloadable collections during the months of
March and April, particularly eBooks and video. The data in this report captures use of resident cards for
Iowa City and our contracted service areas. It does not include Iowa City School District AIM cards;
services for these cards began in December 2019.
eBooks and Digital Audiobooks: OverDrive
We can report records set for March and April in the number of new users, total users, and checkouts in
OverDrive, our digital service that provides eBooks and audiobooks. Six hundred and ninety-five
residents started using eBooks and audiobooks between March 15th and April 30th. More new users
signed up for OverDrive in those six weeks than the previous November, December, January, and
February combined. The chart below shows the number of new users by month, comparing 2018, 2019,
and 2020. Note the dramatic rise in OverDrive sign-ups in 2020. New users in March is up 125% from the
previous year, while April saw an increase of 136% over the previous year.
When patrons sign up to use eBooks and digital audiobooks, they tend to stay users. The chart on the
next page, “Unique Users in OverDrive,” shows steady use of the service in 2018 and 2019. The number
of unique users jumped 24% in March and 37% in April from the previous year. Almost 4,000 people
checked out eBooks and digital audiobooks last month alone.

eBooks are having a resurgence during this time. Many people who tried reading eBooks in the past are
giving the format another chance, while others are giving the format a try for the first time. For
comparison, at the end of December, 7,668 eBooks checked out, up 18% from the previous year. This is
a typical rise in eBook use that we see year to year. This April, eBook use was up 88% from the previous
year with 13,012 eBooks checked out.

OverDrive eBook Checkouts
2018 2019 2020
BP052820015

For all OverDrive collections (eBooks and audiobooks), eBooks make up 62% of the checkouts. Although
audiobook use also rose this April, it was not on par with the increase seen with eBooks. This April, 7,872
audiobooks checked out, up 32% from 2019. In April 2019, 5,960 audiobooks checked out, also up 32%
from the previous year (4,516). For the last three years, audiobooks were our fastest growing collection in
terms of use. It will be interesting to see if the demand for eBooks is a lasting effect of the COVID-19 crisis.
Streaming Video: Kanopy
Our patrons are also using Kanopy, our streaming video service, in record numbers. The number of videos
watched increased 315% from the previous year. In April, 4,693 videos were watched, while another 3,614
were watched during the month of March. In 2019, a little over 1,100 videos were watched in both March
and April. In the following chart, only 2019 and 2020 numbers are compared. We started the service in May
of 2018, making 2019 our first full year of data.
Kanopy is a pay-per-use service. The library is charged $2 each time a video is streamed. This charge does
not apply to Kanopy Kids or The Great Courses which allows patrons to watch unlimited videos for a
monthly charge per patron. To manage our budget, we imposed a limit to the number of videos a patron
can watch during the month. When we closed, we changed the limit from 10 to 15. This change accounts
for some of the increase of use we’ve witnessed. However, an increase in the number of unique users also
explains the dramatic increase in use. There were over 550 people using the service in April, up 109% from
the previous year.

During our closure, it is encouraging to see that some of our patrons are turning to our digital collections,
especially if they were not users before the COVID-19 crisis. In response, Collection Services staff worked to
decrease wait times for eBooks and audiobooks, diversified the title selection in OverDrive by purchasing
backlist titles, and moved more of the FY20 materials budget towards digital content. We will continue to
closely watch these statistics as access to materials changes in the coming weeks. Some patrons may
choose to remain digital users and we may need to shift our priorities to meet those patrons where they
are.

Update for ICPL Board of Trustees
Prepared by Kara Logsden, May 2020
What a Difference Two Months Makes
CAS Staff made a quick transition to working at home and I have been very proud of our staff and their
resilience. We have a passion for service, want to serve our community, worry about our patrons who
experience struggles and miss the day-to-day interactions we have with patrons and one-another.
While some of our staff were not able to fully transition their work to home, others have continued to engage
with our community. Bond Drager had been filling in for our vacant Public Relations Specialist job, leading the
creation of eNewsletters, social media posts and other initiatives to share the story of how the Library serves
our community. Bond is the force behind the daily Storytimes we post online. Because Bond’s new work is
time-consuming, Shawna Riggins, our Bookmobile lead staff member, stepped in to take over Public Relations
work. Shawna is taking a leave in July to celebrate the birth of her child, so Frannie Owens, who manages in-
house displays, works on the Bookmobile and delivers the Tales and Travels program at area retirement
residences, is learning the ins and outs of Public Relations.
Mara Cole, our Graphic Designer, had all SRP materials nearly complete when
everything changed. Mara then designed a Summer Reading Program Guide,
reformatted as our Window print newsletter, that will be mailed to every
address in our service area at the end of the month. The Guide includes SRP
information for all ages as well as online program information. I would be
remiss if I didn’t mention our program staff who re-planned all SRP activities
for an online venue and sent information to Mara for inclusion in the Guide.
Alyssa Hanson, our Webmaster, supported this by assuring the webpage is
ready for SRP information.
Terri Byers calls CAS Volunteers routinely and Heidi Kuchta created
handmade cards to mail to our At Home patrons to keep in touch. Frannie
Owens creates activity packets to send to activity directors to help keep our
Tales and Travel and Lobby Stop patrons engaged. Mac Edwards is
investigating new ways to serve our Lobby Stop patrons while Tom Jordan
reviews new patron accounts for accuracy and drives the Bookmobile each week to keep the batteries
charged. Mary Estle Smith, who is retiring on June 26th after working 49 years at ICPL, calls our CAS Pages to
keep in touch. Our Pages are furloughed as of May 16 and a big question is when we can call them back. They
are ready to return.
Beginning May 18th, Terri and Tom began sorting the mail and checking in the 16 bins of materials returned
since the Library closed. Three Cheers for our CAS staff and their resiliency and dedication to serving our
community! And special thanks and recognition to Mary Estle Smith. We will miss you!
Kara Logsden Retirement
It has been a privilege to work with a very talented and devoted staff for over 21 years. I am proud of our
work and service to our community. My most memorable projects were working with the teams that planned
for the expanded and remodeled building that opened in 2004 and initiated ICPL Bookmobile services in
2017. It has also been a privilege to work with the marketing team tasked with telling the Library’s story. We
have many amazing stories to tell about the difference we make in our community each day. It has been an
honor to be a part of this story and I wish you all the best.
Feedback from Outreach Partners:
Oaknoll Loft: "Thank you for
this Frannie! I find most of
this material VERY helpful. "
Atrium Village: "Thanks to
all the library for all you’re
doing for us and our
communities!"
The Center: "This is great.
Thanks so much."
Oaknoll: "Thank you … All is
well with our staff and
residents. Please keep
sending what you have."

May 28, 2020
Love Your ICPL
Members of the ICPL Friends Foundation Board of
Directors launched Love Your ICPL in response to the
tremendous growth in use of the library’s Digital Branch
during the coronavirus pandemic shutdown.
Our wonderful volunteers want to help ensure that more eBooks, audiobooks, magazines and streaming
videos are available to borrow. They were surprised to learn that the library does not receive discounts on
digital materials, as are often offered to libraries for print materials.
To ensure Love Your ICPL success, our 17 community volunteers donated $5,200 as the Board’s match to
financial contributions received from the community. When Board members invite their contacts to support
the effort, they share these examples of the impact of financial contributions.
Gifts received to date added one audiobook bestseller and three one-year licenses to popular fiction books.
Love Your ICPL will continue through June 30. Thank you for sharing the opportunity with your contacts too.
What Are You Doing?
Thanks to our very generous community members who continue to donate and send messages of
encouragement during the library’s shutdown, days in “Development Office West” in my home are spent
writing thank you letters and doing what’s needed to account for gifts. I also participate in daily online
meetings with other library leadership staff members, Friends Foundation committees and volunteers,
donors, and other development colleagues in the area.
Our Development Office Intern, Rachel Boggs, is working with me now that her UIowa classes are finished
for the semester. With input from our Book End Committee and volunteers, we are trying to figure out the
best path forward for the store.
We are preparing to close the fiscal year and start a new one with new board
members and goals. We hope that we will return to work at the library sometime over the summer. Until
then, it’s a relief that our work can be done anywhere there is a phone and electricity.
If you give… We can provide… Examples of Titles
$25.00 One-year license to the latest popular fiction books Little Fires Everywhere.
Such a Fun Age.
$50.00 Two read along picture books for kids (or 3 picture book

Reintroducing Computer Access Update
Prepared for the Iowa City Public Library Board of Trustees Meeting
May 28, 2020
The committee has finished the first stage of planning which is to come up with possible
scenarios and identify issues that need to be addressed. The working plan is to begin by offering
limited service out of Meeting Rooms A, B and C and then at a later stage, move to a modified
service model from the second floor that includes social distancing measures. Other scenarios
considered include not offering the service at all, using other facilities and employing the
bookmobile to offer roving Internet café. Th ere are a lot of uncertainties; we don't know how
long we will be offering the service, how many will want to take advantage of it , or even how
sustainable it is. If we are going to offer the service at all, this seems like a good balance of
utilizing resources that we already have and limiting possible exposure to staff.
During the next phase we will begin to iron out some of the nuts and bolts of how to provide
this service. This would include a staffing model, a mechanism for scheduling and signup,
defining patron "flow", establishing a cleaning protocol, organizing equipment and software
needs among others. Generally, we are taking the approach of starting the service in a limited
way and adding slowly as we go.
As for the timing of the start of the service, we are generally basing it on the start of the
curbside pickup service. We want that team to settle in and get their workflow established
while we finish up the preparations for this one so it will probably be one to two weeks later.

Programming Committee
Committee- Stacey McKim, Angie Pilkington, Mari Redington, Shawna Riggins, Brian Visser,
Anne Wilmoth
Overview of Committee’s Purpose:
The primary consideration in this plan is maintaining the safety of library patrons and staff while
finding ways to provide necessary services that the library is uniquely positioned to perform. We will
be reviewing all in-person programming, meeting room, and study room use and recommending a
plan for when the Iowa City Public Library reopens to the public. We are also reviewing plans for
virtual programming that is currently taking place in absence of our in -person programming.
Notes:
On April 29, 2020 the Library announced to the public it would suspend all in person programming
and meeting room use through August 2020. The Library Board discussed this plan at their regular
meeting on Thursday, April 23, 2020.
Because of this decision, our Committee has a pretty good start guideline already in place, therefore
we are currently focused on offering the Summer Reading Program and virtual programming for the
summer months.
We feel the last two months of offering virtual programming has helped us find our groove as we
navigate this new endeavor. We are trying to be mindful that we only have a part-time AV specialist
and a part-time intern to do all of the video recording, monito ring and editing. This is proving to be a
huge time challenge for them as they try to fit in all of these new demands. Their work is keeping our
programs on brand and consistent in our offerings.
We are currently offering recorded programs that we post to our Facebook, YouTube and Instagram
accounts. We are also doing live programs through our Zoom accounts that are or can be recorded
and posted to our social media accounts. Here is the wording for virtual programming.
Program type How to access
Online
These programs are prerecorded and will be posted on:
•YouTube (youtube.com/thelibrarychannel)

Next steps:
•Determine when we can start programs and meeting room use in the library and the benchmarks
we will use.
•What type of document do we want?
•What are our benchmarks?
•First one is decided- No In-person programming or Meeting Room use through August 2020.
•How are we reaching people without social media accounts/devices/internet?
•Set up handouts and posters at the Community Food Bank, Shelter House, Neighborhood
Centers.
•Are our virtual programs accessible by all (ADA)?
•Closed Captioning
•Do we want to continue to offer some type of virtual programming in the future based on
feedback we are receiving?
•How do we evaluate our virtual programming when we have nothing to compare it to?
Project Outcome
•How will this affect our reporting of statistics? Are there new ways/data to report?
•Partnering and requests for programming and outreach. We would like a consistent statement
that conveys our messaging about programming.
•Programming only Zoom Account.
•Community Zoom Account.
•Community members could “Check out” our Zoom Account.
Statement to the public, could be something like this:
About In-person Events, Meetings, and Community Visits
Is the library hosting in-person events?
No, not through August. Library virtual programs continue to be added to calendar.icpl.org
Will the library host summer reading?
Yes! With all library in-person events canceled through August, both summer reading programs, for
kids and for adults and teens, will happen online and launch June 1. We will be sharing more details
throughout May. So, stay tuned!
Can I make new in-person meeting or study room reservations?
Not yet. With circumstances changing daily, we are not accepting in-person meeting or study room
reservations through August.
Is the library making outreach visits?
Not right now, through August at least. We are not making any visits to homes, daycares, schools or
senior centers, but we are staying connected, conducting virtual visits, and sharing new video
content daily.

Readers’ Advisory Committee Update
Prepared for the May 28th, 2020 Meeting of the Iowa City Public Library Board of Trustees
Anne Mangano, Collection Services Coordinator
Committee Members: Becky Dannenberg, Melody Dworak, Alyssa Hanson, Anne Mangano, Frannie
Owens, Candice Smith
Overview of Committee’s Purpose
The charge of our committee is to determine how to offer readers’ advisory services in a new and
changing environment. Readers’ advisory, a core library service, ranges from offering specific
recommendations to an individual patron or creating displays of recommended titles. We also want
to provide ways for patrons to experience “browsing” the collection.
Readers’ Advisory Approaches
The committee identified and prioritized three different approaches. We recommend the following:
1. Highlight current readers’ advisory services and make them more robust
This approach focuses on strengthening the services we currently offer by promoting the
catalog tools, scheduling OverDrive themed lists and staff picks/lists, and solidifying our
connections to programming related to the collection.
• Very easy to implement
• Minimal staff time and training
• No new infrastructure (tech or otherwise) needs to be developed
2. Create individualized recommendations for patrons
This could either be a form online or another way to enable a conversation between a patron
and staff member to identify a list of recommended reads for the patron. This form could also
include a children’s style book pull (example: patron asks for picture books on shapes).
• High impact for individual patrons
• Utilizes staff expertise
• Easy to implement through existing tech infrastructure, but would require more energy
on the back end for staff training and staff time and assignments
3. Engage our reading community
This approach looks a little more outward, mixing staff recommendations with those of our
community. It relies heavily on social media. Examples include asking community members for
recommendations or what they are reading whether as posts, videos, etc.
• Engages with our community of readers and crowdsources content
• Selectors and other staff will need to develop questions/themes and ensure that the
recommendations are organized and shared
• Relies on Public Relations staff for social media posting and capturing responses
Readers’ advisory may not seem like an immediate concern when planning to increase access to
library services. Much energy will be focused on circulating physical materials and providing
computer and internet access, and rightly so. However, we believe that if we focused on simple
solutions, we could bring about change pretty quickly and effectively.

Little to No Wait on these Great Books
Anne Mangano, Collection Services Coordinator, Iowa City Public Library
Looking for a great read but want to start reading now? Some of our popular eBooks and
audiobooks have wait lists, but that doesn’t mean you should despair. By all means place the
hold on “Such a Fun Age” or “Little Fires Everywhere.” They are fantastic books and worth the
wait. In the meantime, check out these great read a-likes.
If you are interested in layered characters and complexity in relationships, you might be on the
wait list for Kiley Reid’s “Such a Fun Age.” Frances de Pontes Peebles “The Air you Breathe”
might satisfy. Set in Brazil, this is a story of two women, Dores and Graca. Although from very
different social backgrounds, they both adore samba. They run away and develop a musical act.
But it quickly becomes apparent it is Graca that the audience wants to hear. Told from Dores'
point of view, the novel shows her struggle with being in Graca's shadow. How can she find her
own voice?
Waiting patiently for Emily St. Mandel’s “The Glass Hotel?” If you are a fan of St. Mandel’s
interwoven narratives and exploration of fate, Chloe Benjamin’s “The Immortalists” is a good
match for you. Set in the 1960’s, the four Gold children learn the dates of their deaths when
visiting a fortune teller. Each sibling copes with this information differently as their day
approaches: was it fate or self-fulfilling prophecy? And what happens when one sibling decides
to fight the future?
Ann Patchett’s “The Dutch House” also explores a relationship between siblings. In this case,
the Conroy’s story also intertwines with that of a house, a grand family home in the suburbs of
Philadelphia. While you wait, check out Angela Flournoy’s “The Turner House.” Set in Detroit
amidst the 2008 Financial Crisis, a family faces the illness of their mother and what to do with
her home on Yarrow Street. In both books, the house looms large in how narrators see
themselves and their siblings. But Flournoy explores different character perspectives, giving a
full picture of the home and the family. If you are searching for a sense of place, Flournoy
delivers.
Perhaps you crave a story of perseverance in the face of an impossible situation? It makes
sense to turn to “The Splendid and the Vile,” Erik Larson’s exploration of Winston Churchill’s
first year as Prime Minister. But while you wait, may I suggest “The Great Halifax Explo sion” by
John Bacon? In 1917, a ship carrying explosives collides with another boat in Halifax Harbour
resulting in a massive explosion, devastating the city. Adding insult to injury, the explosion was
followed by a tsunami, a blizzard, and flooding from an immediate thaw. Bacon highlights the
best moments of neighbors helping neighbors and an extraordinary international response. It is
a riveting, uplifting read.
The librarians at Iowa City, Coralville, and North Liberty are working hard to add new titles to
our digital collections. Find these and other great reads at icpl.overdrive.com.

personnel evaluation. Voice vote: Beary, aye; Beasley, aye; Forkenbrock, aye; Johnk, aye; Kirsch, aye;
Paetzold, aye, Rocklin, aye, Shultz, aye. Meeting closed at 5:06 pm.
President Beary reconvened the meeting at 6:07 pm.
Staff Reports.
Director’s Report. Carmen noted how time has flown by. He said staff have risen to the challenge of
working during the closure and have put forward many ideas and solutions, but there is fatigue about
not knowing what is going on with the spread and impact of COVID-19. Our primary concern is to keep
staff and the public as safe as possible. In a profession where an entire career may be based on public
service, the inability to not provide service is challenging. Staff are are preparing to provide phone
service to patrons. In response to a question posted by Johnk, Carman said getting ready for phone
service was a lot more technologically complex than we thought it would be and he did not want staff
to use their personal smart phone or landline for work purposes. Some staff have come into the

building to retrieve their office phones for Switchboard and Information Desk work. An announcement
will be made when the phones come back online. Paetzold asked about feedback from the public.
Carman said a few people called to say they were glad people were being paid. He received two calls
about access to materials, one this week, and one early on. People taped notes to the front door
reminding us to post notices on the building since some people don’t have access to electronics. He
has received a few comments about curbside pickup. Rocklin asked about the strategic planning project
and if it’s been shelved. Carman said there has not been much activity and we may need to revisit the
plan after COVID-19. The work the community and staff have done will be there; the plan may need to
look a little different under these circumstances but all of that work will be useful. Carman said the next
immediate project is the budget, and then we will come back to the strategic plan. Paetzold asked
about salary situation for staff. Carman said beginning May 17th, hourly staff will be furloughed. We
have provided them with information about what this means. We have identified a few hourly staff who
will still work as their work has been deemed mission critical. Permanent staff are still being
compensated their regular wage. City Manager Fruin is closely watching the Governor’s plan for
opening.
Departmental Reports:
Adult Services. Nothing specifically discussed.
Children’s Services. Pilkington said all of the Summer Reading Programs (SRP) will be online. Children’s
Services has aligned its programs with the model the Parks and Recreation department is using. Staff
have flexed quickly to this new model. The summer Window will hit 55, 0000 residences on June 1 and
will include a reading log all ages.
Collection Services. Mangano provided some statistics from the closure period so far. When looking at
six months’ worth of data, the number of new Overdrive users was up 156%. Audiobook use was up
24% in six months, which is similar to the normal increased use we’ve observed over the last couple of
years. Kanopy saw a 55% increase in the number of videos watched compared with six months ago. 561
videos from The Great Courses were watched and are well-liked. Children’s videos were the most
popular—8 out of the top 10 views were from Kanopy Kids. I’m Fast was the most popular video on the
site and the most popular film was Midsommar.
Community & Access Services. This report was written before the pandemic and reflects what could
have been. The Bookmobile will not have a summer schedule. We are thinking about ways we may be
able to use the vehicle. Paetzold asked if we recoup any insurance money while the Bookmobile is not
being used. Logsden said it is part of the City fleet. It is driven once a week and Maintenance regularly
checks to make sure it is okay. Our annual Volunteer Recognition event is cancelled.
IT. Nothing specifically discussed.
Development Office. McCarthy said there is going to be a community opportunity to support the
e-collection as they are more expensive than the physical materials. McCarthy reported that Friends
Foundation Board members are contributing extra and the community has been amazingly generous.
More than $10,000 has been contributed to the library since 3/15/20.
Spotlight on the Collection. No comments.

Miscellaneous. None.
President’s Report. Nothing further to report.
Announcements from Members.
Beasley thinks is important to have a special Board meeting in two weeks devoted to updates. He
believes the pressure to open will accelerate. President Beary will work with Carman and Miller to
schedule a special meeting. Paetzold added that there could be more frequent meetings. Paetzold
suggested there could be a committee meeting, not necessarily a full meeting. Beary will keep everyone
informed.
Committee Reports.
Friends Foundation. Kirsch said the Friends Foundation Board (FFB) met on March 11, 2020. A large
portion of the meeting was devoted to the Looking Forward event which has now been cancelled.
Board members were preparing to personalize invitations to the event, which also is moot. The FFB is
looking at rescheduling this fundraiser at another time with a different author. The IRS Form 990, that
provides the public with financial information about a nonprofit organization was presented to the
Board. It has been submitted to the IRS.
Communications. None.
Quarterly Financial Reports.
Dashboards headed in the right direction says President Beary. Being able to see things quickly helps.
Quarterly Use Reports.
Shultz asked about use of electronic materials. Mangano believes use in April will increase even more.
Paetzold asked if we now have access to more e-books; Mangano said we are ordering more and
explained we lowered the threshold we use to purchase additional copies of e-materials.
Consent Agenda.
A. Approve Regular Minutes of the Library Board of Trustees February 27, 2020 meeting.
B. Approve Disbursements for February, 2020 and March, 2020.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Minutes of the Electronic Special Meeting DRAFT
May 7, 2020
Electronic Meeting (Pursuant to Iowa Code section 21.8)
An electronic meeting was held because a meeting in person was impossible or impractical due
to concerns for the health and safety of board members, staff, and the public presented by
COVID-19.
Members Present: Wesley Beary, John Beasley Kellee Forkenbrock, Carol Kirsch, Robin Paetzold,

Members Absent: Derek Johnk.
Staff Present: Jay Beattie, Terri Byers, Elsworth Carman, Karen Corbin, Tom Jordan, Patty McCarthy,
Anne Mangano, Elyse Miller, Jason Paulios, Angela Pilkington.
Guests Present: None.
Call Meeting to Order. President Beary called the meeting to order at 5:00 pm.
Public Discussion. None.
Director’s Report. Carman gave a general update. He said the City Council work session on Tuesday
gave an excellent presentation on the potential impacts of COVID-19 on the City budget. City Finance
Director Dennis Bockenstedt outlined how fluid and rapidly changing the situation is and went through
the budgetary funds most likely affected. The presentation broke things down while maintaining a
systems-view which Carman found helpful. He recommends everyone look at the presentation online.
Coordinators rolled out a committee-based approach to things we feel are aligned with our core values
and mission across departments. Each committee is putting together different scenarios, models of
what real services can look like. We chose this model because we want staff to be part of the solution as
they do the work. We are already seeing interesting thinking and great questions coming from the
groups. There will be a variety of feelings around opening the building and having patrons and staff
back in the building. It is a real balance and involving staff in committee work really helps.
Optional all staff meetings are held on Fridays at 9:30; there have been two so far, with approximately
35 people attending. Coordinators meet on Mondays and Thursday mornings via Zoom, individually
with phone calls, and email, etc.

Phone reference is now available from 10-6, Monday - Friday. Switchboard staff have equipment at
home they may use to answer questions as they do when they are in the building. Patrons are happy to
have this service back. In the building, we hosted two Red Cross blood drives in Meeting Room A. No
library staff were involved as the groups managed the drive from beginning to end, including first level
cleaning. It felt good to be able to offer the space to a community group doing important work.
Mangano said we have observed changes in our collection use. There’s an updated blog post about this
on the website. Some statistics: 700 new users to Overdrive in the last six weeks, with 400 users in the
last 30 days. Increases in usage include: 81% for eBooks, 60% for Overdrive, 41% for Kanopy, with 55%
more vides watched on Kanopy than six months ago. Mangano said a big draw on Kanopy is the Great
Courses videos; patrons have watched 561 of them. Children’s videos and adaptations of picture books
are quite popular on the service, too.
Library staff will be helping prepare Farmer’s Market on Friday and Saturday. In addition to helping
another City department and getting out of the house to work, being able to observe the Farmer’s
Market process is a benefit as it may assist us with our model for getting materials to patrons. We do
not yet know if this placement will be recurring. Carman will work a shift tomorrow to check things out
and share the experience with the rest of staff.
The Children’s Garden has been planted, with a focus on pollinators. A number of Coordinators came
together earlier this week to do a walkthrough the building with a plexiglass vendor to identify places
where plexiglass maybe used for safety. This is the same vendor other City departments have used. We
will try to maintain our aesthetic as best we can and install in a safe and secure manner. Some panes
will hang from the ceilings, some will be on the desks; this is all dependent on where it will be located
and what each location needs. The vendor is quite experienced and was able to help us identify
locations for placement and models to use for different space needs.
Rocklin asked about committee schedules. Carman said the committee working first and fastest would
be the circulation committee. This group has a soft deadline for a workable model as soon as June 1
although we do not know if that is when it will happen. There is a lot of work to be done behind the
scenes to accomplish this, from staggering staff schedules, observing social distancing and other safety
measures. We are not committing to this as a public date.
Paetzold asked what kind of protection is being used for maintenance staff. Carman said all Facilities
Staff are wearing masks and gloves. The blood drives were timed so that the room was quarantine
clean. Our staff unlocked doors to the meeting room and restrooms. Facilities staff did not clean
between events; after the second event our staff are respecting a quarantine period before they clean
again. The blood drive staff did the trash and general cleaning. We would be very careful about
involving maintenance in other outside activities. There are no other outside uses of the room
scheduled. Brad Gehrke participates in all of the Coordinators meeting. Paetzold asked about the
impact on the budget for the plexiglass. Carman said we do not have a bid yet but we have resources
available to us, including the savings we’ve realized since we have been closed and not spending in the
customary way. Carman noted that other personal protective equipment (PPE) has been affordable.
There are methods in place for coding expenses related to COVID-19. Carman believes we will be able

to balance our budget at the close of the FY. The City has asked us to be conscientious about resources
as we approach the end of the fiscal year.
Beasley asked when will the committees be able to update the board about its plan. Logsden said an in-
depth report is doable in the next two weeks if needed. Beasley asked what role staff want the board to
take in this process. Beary said he needs to see the recommendations before discussing the board’s role
in the process. Rocklin said this poses interesting operational questions at this unusual time.
Beasley asked about the finance presentation. He asked if there were a couple of bullet points Carman
could provide or if was it just a general overview of the City finance picture as a whole. Carman said it
was a general overview, with no specific callouts for our department and no details were provided. City
Manager, Geoff Fruin will meet with department heads individually to talk more specifically.
Paetzold asked if hiring freezes were mentioned at the meeting. Carman said there were a number of
times during the financial presentation when Bockenstedt went through all city expenditures and the
impact COVID has on them. Permanent wages/benefits, furloughs of hourly staff, paying perm staff,
there were just potentials for discontinuing hiring, some budgeted city positions are being held right
now. Paetzold asked if we’ve received anything from the public that we need to be aware of. Paulios
said last month there were ten questions about curbside pickup; half of the calls were fine, half of the
calls pushed back on our approach. This represents about 2% of the questions so far. There have been
occasional comments on social media; Carman wrote a blog to update what ICPL is doing. He continues
to think we are reaching the end of our grace period with the public. Our model will not look like our
neighboring libraries because of differences in parking, etc. Our goals continue to be to keep staff and
patrons as safe as possible. Carman believes holding on to this value enables us to stay the course and
keep our focus on what is important. He is optimistic about having the comeback be organic.
Beary asked is there is anything Carman needs at this moment. Carmen said not right now; but as we
get closer to the end of the fiscal year, we may need to work together if we go over budget.
Carman asked if this is sufficient as a report, or if Board members would prefer a written report.
Paetzold thinks this format worked well. Kirsch is looking forward to hearing from the committees.
Beary said since the regular meeting is in two weeks, we can see.
President’s Report. President Beary had a couple of reminders. The Regular meeting of the Library
Board of Trustees is in two weeks; The slate of officers for the Library Board and appointing Board
members to the Friends Foundation Board are upcoming. Kirsch and Shulz expressed interest. We can
discuss the format for the next special meeting at the regular May meeting. Beasley reminded that it
only requires 24 hours advance to call a meeting.
Adjournment. A motion to adjourn the meeting was made. President Beary closed the
meeting at 5:46 pm.
