Issues: Library cardholder records are not stored indefinitely, which may be good to reflect in its policy. Staff Recommendations: 1. Add the maintenance of cardholder records to the policy in a manner which enables procedure to remain reflective of community or operational needs. Action: Review and adopt as amended. Prepared by: Sam Helmick, Community & Access Services Coordinator, December 4, 2020. 704 USE OF LIBRARY'S CARDHOLDER DATABASE See also related policy: Confidentiality and Privacy (802). See also Code of Iowa Chapter 22.7(18), Confidential Records. 704.1 Public access to names of persons who hold Iowa City Public Library cards would discourage use of the Library. The purpose of this policy is to ensure that Library cardholders’ names and contact information are protected from public examination. 704.2 Use of the cardholder database is limited to Iowa City Public Library and Iowa City Public Library Friends Foundation. Use of the database is limited to activities designed to enhance or improve the library or to inform library users about library services. 704.3 In order to maintain accurate cardholder and bibliographic databases, an up-to-date database of library cardholders shall be maintained by the regular deletion of inactive cardholders’ records. The records of inactive cardholders who owe money for fines or for the cost of unreturned books and other library materials shall be deleted from the database on a schedule based on amount owed and date of inactivity. The titles of unreturned books and other library materials which are attached to such cardholder records shall be removed from the bibliographic database as lost items. The money owed the library on the records of the cardholders described above will be written off at the time the records are deleted from the database.

Issues: Area libraries are providing virtual spaces for patrons to meet through platforms such as Zoom. The Library would like to add this service feature in lieu of physical space. Staff Recommendations: 1. Add virtual rooms to the language defining the librar y’s meeting spaces. 2. Expound on the library’s role and posture for meetings held in the meeting rooms. 3. Update parameters for virtual meeting spaces in consideration of underage use as well as staff support. 4. Add safety precautions for weather and fire capacity into the policy. Action: Review and adopt as amended. Prepared by: Sam Helmick, Community & Access Services Coordinator, November 17, 2020.

Lobby use may not impede the flow of people in and out of the building or to other meeting rooms. 806.10 The Library neither approves nor disapproves of content, ideas or subject matter presented in meeting rooms and does not accept responsibility for ensuring accuracy or that all points of view are represented. Neither does the library discriminate based on the political affiliation, religious beliefs, or on any other constitutionally or statutorily prohibited basis. The library does not advocate or endorse the viewpoints expressed during meetings or by meeting room users. 806.11 Events scheduled in Meeting Room A or when A, B, and C are used in combination must be open to the public. Meetings scheduled in Meeting Rooms B, C, D, and E may be closed to the public. Minors may use the virtual meeting rooms only under direct and constant supervision of adults, who will assume full responsibility for all activities. Users agree to download all necessary software and software updates and to view all preparatory materials prior to the day of their event.

Issues: While much of this policy already exists in Iowa Code, it provides the library the opportunity to reiterate their stewardship to the community and adherence to the values of diversity, access, and intellectual freedom. Staff Recommendations: 1. Update language from computers and computer equipment to “digital equipment” which better reflects the modern infrastructure of the library’s technology collection. 2. Add a reporting element for materials which are altered or damaged to target a specific group. The American Library Association’s Office of Intellectual Freedom provides tools which help respond to incidents as needed, provide a historical record, and track national trends. 3. Update the title of Iowa Code 714.5 to reflect its change. Action: Review and adopt as amended. Prepared by: Sam Helmick, Community & Access Services Coordinator, November 25, 2020. 811. Theft, Defacement or Alteration of Library Materials and Resources See also: Related Library policies on Circulation, Fines and Fees (801.2) and Overdue Materials (801.3), Meeting Room and Lobby Use (806), Library Use (809) and Internet Use Policy (815). 811.1 The purpose of this policy is to protect Library property and to describe actions the Library may take against those accused of theft or defacement of Library materials, computer files, equipment or facilities. Library Policy 801, “Circulation and Library Cards” governs issues related to Library materials checked out and damaged or not returned. 811.2 Intentionally removing Library property or removing Library materials without checking them out is prohibited and may result in loss of Library privileges and may also require making restitution. 811.3 Intentionally mutilating, altering or damaging Library facilities, materials, computers, computer digital equipment, files, or other property may result in loss of Library privileges and may also require making restitution. 811.4 The Library may seek prosecution of those alleged to have intentionally removed, mutilated, or willfully damaged library property to the extent provided by law. 811.5 Defacement of library property to target a specific group based on race, color, national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability may be reported to the American Library Association’s Office of Intellectual Freedom which maintains a database on challenged materials and hate crimes inside libraries. As appropriate, damage or defacement of library property may also be reported to ALA's Office for Diversity, Literacy and Outreach Services, which works in close coordination with the Office for Intellectual Freedom to respond to incidents which can produce traumatizing impact to service communities. Pertinent sections of the Iowa and Iowa City codes including, but not limited to: Library Materials and Equipment — Unpurchased Merchandise — Evidence of Intention. (§714.5 Code of Iowa), Parental Responsibility for Actions of Children (§613.16 Code of Iowa), Damage and Trespass to Property (§716, Code of Iowa), Detention and Search in Theft of Library Materials and Shoplifting (§808.12 Code of Iowa); Damaging, Defacing Property (8-5-4 Code of Iowa City). Different aspects of crime related to computers are found in Code of Iowa §622.51A, §702.1A, §714.1, and §716.6B.

It’s especially meaningful to receive public recognition during an atypical year like this one, and we’re proud Little Village readers see us as a bright spot in their community. On Tuesday, December 8, the Johnson County Public Libraries group hosted a virtual reception for area legislators. We were able to highlight a few of the ways we each responded to the pandemic and share some of our initiatives and projects related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), as well as briefly walk through the Iowa Library Association 2021 Legislative Agenda. It was great to see a few of your faces at the Zoom meeting; thank you for attending! I had the honor of accepting a grant for the library from the Pilot Club of Iowa City at an evening Zoom reception on Thursday, December 10. The $1,250.00 award will be used to purchase audiobooks and eBooks for the collection, allowing more people access with less waiting. The Pilot Club has a legacy of supporting ICPL, and it was great to get to interface —via Zoom—with this friendly, enthusiastic group and thank them for their ongoing generosity. On Friday, December 11, I co-presented “Organizations and Social Justice: A Roundtable Discussion” with Matt Degner, Interim Superintendent of the Iowa City Community School District and Kirsten Faisal, State Trainer for the Iowa Coalition Against Domestic Violence. The 90 -minute session was facilitated by Sara Barron and Michael Shaw as part of the Access to Justice: 2020 and Beyond conference organized by Mediation Services of Eastern Iowa. I was pleased to be able to share some of the DEI work ICPL is doing with a regional audience (over 100 people were logged into the Zoom session) as well as talk about some of my processes as an individual navigating this work. It feels good to know that ICPL’s vision and work is being recognized by the community. I was invited to present at the Innovative Libraries Online Conference 2021 on Thursday, January 21. The conference theme is “DEI in Libraries”, and my session will focus on building, merchandizing, defending, and the overall importance of diverse collections. I look forward to the opportunity to share some of the amazing things ICPL staff are doing related to collections and DEI. Administrative Updates In late November, I met with Jeff Capps, Kelly Moore, and Scott Sovers to discuss an Iowa Children’s Museum installation planned on the Ped Mall in cooperation with the Downtown District. “Eye See ‘Em!” is described as an “Eye Spy Monster Experien ce” and will include wooden boxes with transparent panels filled with “fun found objects.” The downtown installation (there are more planned for around the City) will be between the raised gardens and the playground, visible from the Children’s Room windows. The Administrative Coordinator position was posted on December 7; and has a closing date of January 4. The position description was edited to more accurately represent the current duties of the position, but the core aspects of the role will remain the same. Elyse has been meeting regularly with appropriate staff to transition responsibilities and manage any training that needs to be done before she leaves. Mailing Update Research about alternatives to mailing, like collaborating with delivery groups, installing lockers, and developing a regular delivery route continues. In collaboration with the City of Iowa City’s Geographic Information System (GIS), a heat map has been created to review the magnitude of mailer use throughout the community between September 1—November 18. This information could help determine the potential placement of library lockers or establish the foundation for a regular delivery or Bookmobile route. Please see attached document for additional mailing cost information. Full Heat Map Closer View of High-Use Area Bubble mailers come in various sizes and accommodate different materials. •#0 is typically used to mail a DVD or CD, or a small paperback •#2 is typically used to mail a hardcover book •#5 is typically used to mail a larger hardcover, or a couple of books and a DVD or CD •#6 is typically used for a large children’s book We purchase in bulk from Mailboxes of Iowa City. •#0 has 250 mailers/carton •#2 has 100 mailers/carton •#5 has 100 mailers/carton •#6 has 50 mailers/carton We get a discount by buying in bulk: •#0 cost us $0.34/each (regular rate is $0.89) •#2 cost us $0.54/each (regular rate is $1.29) •#5 cost us $0.80/each (regular rate is $1.79) •#6 cost us $1.36/each (regular rate is $2.29) Discount cost per mailer carton by size: •#0 = $85 •#2 = $54 •#5 = $80 •#6 = $68 Cost of mailers by size: July through November •#0 = $255 •#2 = $2,106 •#5 = $2, 160 •#6 = $1,700 Breakdown: Mailer size by number of cartons purchased per month Mailer Size # Cartons July # Cartons August # Cartons September # Cartons October # Cartons November Total # Cartons by size 0 0 2 0 1 0 3 2 8 10 9 7 5 39 5 7 6 6 4 4 27 6 5 8 5 2 5 25 Total Cartons/Month 20 26 20 14 14 Total cost of mailers from July through November 18, 2020 = $6,221 Total number of cartons purchased (all sizes) from July through November 18, 2020 = 94 Mail Supply Cost Reopening Comparison with Peer Libraries Since the initial closure in March, ICPL has stayed committed to a “safety first” approach to service delivery. Our commitment to staff and patron health and wellness during the pandemic has resulted in a relatively conservative rollout of in-person services. While this planful evolution has limited community access to many of ICPL’s normal services, I am proud that we made decisions that helped keep our community safe and would take the same approach if faced with a similar event in the future. At the Board’s request, we have created a basic comparison of our reopening timeline with the approaches taken by select peer libraries. Please find that table attached to this report. Respectfully Submitted, Elsworth Carman Reopening Comparison: Select Peer Libraries March through November, 2020 (No changes in April, 2020 by any library) Library 3/20 5/20 6/20 7/20 8/20 9/20 10/20 11/20 Future ICPL Closed to public, virtual services only Curbside pickup by appt Lobby Grab & Go service, limited computer use, DOT kiosk moved for availability Pull back on Lobby Grab & Go, no computer use Evaluating reopening plan with community health metrics Ann Arbor Closed to public Contactless vestibule, locker services No plans to return to in- person services or browsing at this time Cedar Rapids Curbside for one week, then closed to public, virtual services only Curbside pickup by appt, grab bag requests Computer use by appt Grab & Go service, browsing for 30 minutes Closed to public again, return to curbside pickup Projected January for return to Grab & Go service Coralville Closed to public, curbside pickup service Curbside laptop use, computer lab use by appt In-person browsing by appt Express computer use, with express printing service Expansion of operating hours Suspended in- person browsing and computer use Continuing curbside pickup, virtual services and online programs LaCrosse Closed to public, virtual services only Curbside pickup Socially distanced public computer use In-person hold pickup Expand to in- person browsing when community health metrics allow (right now only Main Branch operating - two other branches closed) Skokie Closed to public, virtual services only Curbside pickup In-person browsing, limited computer use Return to holds pickup, limited computer use, no in-person browsing See reopening plan (no timeline for next phase yet) Children’s Services Report Prepared for the Iowa City Public Library Board of Trustees, December 2020 meeting By Angela Pilkington, Children’s Services Coordinator The year of all years, 2020, is rapidly coming to a close and the Children’s Room is busier than ever, planning end of the year events, like a Noon Year’s Eve party, Gingerbread Fun, and the Winter Reading Program (WRP). All to be done virtual this year of course. These have become annual events, but even the pandemic won’t stop them from happening! Get ready, “Reading is Beary Cozy,” is this year’s winter reading theme. The Winter Reading Program will begin on December 18 and will run until February 12. It is for children aged 3 and up. Kids must read 20 books and teens/adults will read two books and complete three challenges in order to finish their reading challenge. Participants will then receive their hot cocoa mug prize. Zoom Tutoring: K-6 students may sign up for a 20-minute tutoring slot with a pre-service teacher volunteer from the University of Iowa Elementary Education program. This volunteer meets with students in a library- hosted Zoom space and offers support and guidance to the students with homework, listens while students practice reading aloud, or helps instruct them in concepts the student is not understanding. Good Neighborhoods & School Program ICPL welcomed Sara Alvarado for an interactive virtual workshop and conversation to learn more about how and why schools and neighborhoods in the Midwest remain segregated in many ways. We learned more about what is "redlining"? And if anyone ever asked you where the "good" schools are? And how do we navigate these complicated conversations? The event was recorded and will be available for viewing on our website soon. The event had 45 participants. We are also beginning to do more Live Storytimes this month. We had our first on December 9 with special guest, Rabbi Esther celebrating with a Hanukkah Storytime. Our next offering will be on Friday, December 18 to kick off WRP, another on December 22 with the Doodlebugs for Boxing Day, and again on December 31 for Noon Year’s Eve. Plus, Raptology and their birds will be doing a live Q & A for kids. The first week of no school we will offer Winter Break Busy Bags. Much like the family night and some craft to go’s, these kits may be picked up from the lobby. Keep little hands and minds active, engaged, and learning! Winter Break Busy Bags from ICPL are designed to activate your little one's mind through building, creating, reading, cooking, and playing. Register to pick up one of these activity bags that will hold multiple activities to keep kids ages preschool through 4th grade creatively entertained during the school break! We also continue to have Tween make and take bags, Family night bags, and our ever-popular Sunday Fundays craft to go kits. December Bingo cards are available for kids to work on at home. We have these available online, in the lobby, and we also put them in the craft to go bags. Collection Services Department Report Prepared for the December 17, 2020 Meeting of the Iowa City Public Library Board of Trustees Anne Mangano, Collection Services Coordinator New Children’s Read-Along Collection This month we added new digital read-along books to our collection. Each book contains a digital reader attached to the cover of the book that reads the text as you follow along on the page. It is an update to the “turn the page” read-alongs featuring compact discs. We’ve also expanded the selection of available read-alongs, offering nonfiction, early readers, and chapter books in both English and Spanish. More than 110 titles are currently available from the library with more on the way. These books are also known as VOX Books or Wonderbooks, after the companies that produce them. We are hoping the new format will expand access to the read-along collection. No equipment is needed to enjoy the book and user instructions are provided on the front cover. All contain external speakers, but include a headphone port if the patron prefers. The reader also has the ability to stop, play, and move ahead or backward in the story. The books are easily charged with a micro-USB cable, which is one of the most common hou sehold tech cables, and available via our library charging stations. A single charge provides more than 50 plays of the book. This collection is a replacement for the compact disc read-alongs. The new read-alongs are available to checkout for three weeks and are eligible for up to two renewals. Go to icpl.org/picks to see lists of some of our favorite titles created by our children’s librarians, Casey Maynard and Anne Wilmoth. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY REPORT TO THE LIBRARY BOARD (December, 2020) Brent Palmer, IT Coordinator New Catalog Update The new catalog, now at a new URL: search.icpl.org, has seen a lot of changes and includes several new features. We encourage you to check it out and tell us what you think. The site is fully functional and uses live data. Here are a few of the improvements we would like to highlight. Mobile Friendly The new site automatically adjusts to different device sizes and is overall more user-friendly for mobile devices. Users will have similar experiences on desktop as mobile devices. Fully Customizable Because the new catalog is built on an open-source platform, we are able to customize any part of it. We can make the catalog visually similar to our website and other digital branding. We can also pull in content from our website to integrate the two. One example is the catalog homepage, which currently includes Staff Lists and marketing images that advertise events and services. Account Page Improvements The account pages are overall more visually appealing and include covers for items in checkouts, holds, and lists. Due dates are now color-coded. Patrons are encouraged to return items because now they are able to see the number of people waiting for an item. For the first time, we are able to show interlibrary loan (ILL) items and patrons may cancel and request renewal on ILL items directly from their ILL account page. The Borrowing History has also been redesigned with grid and list options, a rating system, and sort by title or checkout date. Patrons can add, edit, or remove saved searches. And soon, patrons will be able to be notified of new items within a favorite search. Images for Local Items We can now add catalog images for local circulating items like Discovery Kits, Art-to-go, and Toys. OverDrive Improvements We can use the OverDrive REST application programming interfaces (API) to pull up-to-date records from OverDrive meaning we will no longer have to purchase the records from OverDrive. This will result in the records being more current. We can also now use the Overdrive "redelivery" feature from our catalog. So, when patrons want to delay checking out an OverDrive item, they can opt for delivering it later so someone else can have it in the meantime. Staff View Staff accessing the catalog can view more detailed information about items including the MARC information as well as checkout and order data about each item in our collection. Translation Options The new catalog also supports translations in multiple languages. Testing Our web specialist will soon begin conducting user testing. If you would like to assist us in testing please contact her at: alyssa-hanson@icpl.org. Feel free to refer other people you feel might also be interested in helping us test the catalog.

Lisa Peet Protective tape attached to outside of Iowa City Public Library during Black Lives Matter protests The Iowa City Public Library (ICPL) has embedded concrete, quantified steps toward equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) into its three-year strategic plan, released on September 23. ICPL’s 2021–23 strategic plan focuses on three priorities: recovery and renewal post- COVID, focusing on community aspirations, and resource management. As part of that work, it pledges to commit 30 percent of programming, outreach, and collection funds toward services with and for Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) communities by FY22, and will seek alternatives to police intervention for violations of the Library Use Policy. The strategic plan will be a building block for next year’s budget request. Leadership is currently working on developing tactics for specific actions to carry out the plan’s objectives, and has solicited suggestions from library staff, with plans to engage community members to help create programs and build collections as well. A CHANGING CLIMATE Iowa City Public Library Strategic Plan To Incorporate Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, Policing Alternatives libraryjournal.com 1/6 When director Elsworth Carman (who also organizes LJ’s Trans+Script column) took the ICPL helm in January 2019, the library was winding up the last year of its 2015–20 plan. Once he’d settled into the role, he began work on the new plan, engaging former American Library Association president Maureen Sullivan as a consultant, conducting staff surveys, collecting data about patron aspirations, and convening community engagement meetings. “We started building the bones of a traditional five-year plan,” said Carman. “And then COVID came and we started thinking differently.” The library shut its branches down quickly in March, providing virtual services to the community and continuing the strategic planning process via remote meetings. With the death of George Floyd in late May, Carman realized that he and his team needed to take the opportunity to hear what had changed since work on the plan began. Storefronts in Iowa City were putting up Black Lives Matter and “say their names” signs, and he wanted to reflect that advocacy in the library’s steering documents—but, he explained, “I didn't want anything to look like pageantry activism.” The community had expressed the desire that the library focus on social justice issues as early as fall 2019. “We had evidence of interest in social justice throughout all of our information gathering,” he told LJ. “Equity was a word we heard a lot, we heard fairness, we heard reducing barriers, things like that. So it felt good to be able to ramp that up without departing from what we had heard earlier. It wasn't just a kneejerk response—‘This is the thing now, we'd better switch gears.’” City leadership supports a range of equity initiatives, including a Diversity Committee established by City Council in 2012, which helped the Police and Transportation Services departments develop recommendations on diversity-related matters, and a 2015 council resolution that approved an Equity Action Plan. But after Floyd’s death a local protest group, the Iowa Freedom Riders, presented a list of a dozen specific demands to City Council. These demands, which have yet to be met by the city departments they approached, include transparency about the Police Department budget and reforms within the department, the dedication of at least 30 percent of every city department’s staff to diversity and inclusion, and for an equity toolkit to be implemented in every institution and business in the city. As the fiscal year drew to a close during the summer, with library leadership unable to meet in person to discuss the revamped agenda, Carman decided to replace the proposed five-year plan with a three-year version, which he termed a “bridge plan.” The team then drafted a new strategic plan, ran a few details by Sullivan, and brought it to ICPL staff, asking whether they felt it was representative of the work they wanted to do. 2/6 The feedback he got from the staff, board, and leadership team, said Carman, was “thoughtful, honest, and candid.” He incorporated staff ideas, running several iterations by everyone involved. “I was never in a position to have to convince anybody that it was important,” he said. “I was never told to dial it back or to change any of what we were hoping to do.” LISTENING TO STAFF Soliciting staff input not only provides useful ideas, said Carman, but will help employees connect the work they do to the plan in a concrete way. This is especially useful for workers with non–public facing jobs. A formalized process has been put in place for each department to outline ideas for how to implement the plan’s priorities in a Google form, which is then discussed and voted on. Submitted suggestions include conducting a diversity audit of the library’s nonfiction collection to supplement a recent audit of the juvenile fiction, chapter and picture book, and YA print collection; establishing YA collections at offsite locations such as rec centers, community centers, and the Urban Dreams social services organization, in a variety of neighborhoods; and decolonizing the library’s catalog by updating potentially problematic subject headings, such as replacing “illegal aliens” with “undocumented immigrants” and making sure that Indigenous and tribal names are accurate. Staff have been consulted every step of the way, said Collections and Children’s Services Librarian Anne Wilmoth—and they feel that they’re being listened to. “I think that most of us got into librarianship at least in part in order to help others, help improve the cohesion of our community, engage in community building…and I think most of us are able to see that disengaging from inviting a police presence into the library as much as possible would be a step further toward those goals,” Wilmoth told LJ. “All of us seem to be committed to wanting to work as much as possible toward treating everyone with respect, ensuring they feel seen and heard in our community and are able to access our resources in an equitable manner.” Much of the discussion of the action items involves language—ensuring that it’s sensitive and respectful, and also accurate. “It's going to guide the bulk of our work for quite a while,” Wilmoth noted, “so we want to make sure we get it right.” REACHING 30 PERCENT When it comes to allocating the 30 percent of programming, outreach, and collection funds for services to BIPOC communities that ICPL committed to in the strategic plan, Carman noted, “That's not the way that we typically think about programming. We 3/6 don't keep track of our spending to try to isolate just on a race basis like that. But we felt like we want to do it, so let's try to name it—as clunky as it might feel, let's put it out there, and that'll help us be accountable.” The documents, he added, are the easy part. “It's the act of putting it into practice that's going to make [us] either effective or not.” What he wants to avoid, he told LJ, is having a committee of white librarians decide what kinds of programs will draw Black adults, or Latinx youth. Instead, he plans to look to community members to help define what the library can offer “that would be exciting, that would draw you in, that would make you feel like you belong here, and what kind of support could we give to members of that community to facilitate those programs?” He hopes to start an initiative where the library funds community-led programming—compensating participants for their work, he emphasized. Staff diversity is an area that needs attention as well, Carman said. According to the U.S. Census estimates for July 2019, 78.5 percent of Iowa City’s population is white, 8.2 percent, Black or African American; 5.8 percent, Hispanic or Latino; 7.5 percent, Asian; 0.3 percent, American Indian or Alaska Native; and 2.7 percent as two or more races. While the library has employees of color, its 92 staff members don’t represent the community in terms of visible diversity. “We put specific language in the strategic plan about identifying barriers to hiring a more diverse workforce,” said Carman. “We're planning on taking a close look every time we have an opportunity to post [a job] to really dig into not only what language we're using in the posting but where we're putting it, what are our educational expectations, what do we need to include about how we support diversity on site, and how our community welcomes diversity, to try to make sure that we're drawing candidates who represent everybody we serve.” “Including [EDI] initiatives in our plan solidifies and codifies, for all of us, that this is something important that the library is committing to, that we are being held accountable,” said Wilmoth. “With that kind of backbone to our day-to-day work, it will influence our interaction with patrons—at least in terms of helping us keep in mind what our goals are, and what we should always be striving to achieve in every interaction.” MINIMIZING POLICE PRESENCE The library’s preexisting security procedures are not heavily dependent on police. Library security is managed completely in-house, with explicit behavioral guidelines that staff can draw on for backup. There are no on-site guards in its single location, which serves a population of 69,000. A local beat officer stops in from time to time in a way that feels appropriate, Carman says; the officer’s style and values are aligned with 4/6 those of the library, and he is well liked in the community. But for the most part, staff are able to handle problems internally, escalating incidents to a manager or Carman if necessary. In the event of an incident, back-of-the-house follow-up includes a thorough report if law enforcement was involved, a narrative submitted by staff, and photographs or video clips, if applicable. The writeups include actions taken by staff to resolve the issues, either how-to’s or details that need to be dealt with—for example, if someone has been banned from the library for a period of time. This helps staff feel like they know what’s going on, noted Carman, and gives them information they can access quickly from the service desk. It would be difficult to separate from the police entirely, said Carman. Nonetheless, a full-day staff in-service day is planned for February 2021, either as an all-virtual or a hybrid event, with small groups on-site for a portion of the day and remote for the remainder. The plan is for a half day of exploring alternatives to calling the police and handling more issues in-house, with the second half having staff work in groups to discuss how that might affect policies and practice documents. Carman wants staff to own whatever action steps the library adopts, he said; this should not be a top-down decision. “As passionate as the leadership team is, we are not out on the reference desk very often.” AN ACHIEVABLE GOAL Carman feels that any library can advance its commitment to social justice at the policy level using similar methods as ICPL. “Everybody needs to be willing to have hard conversations,” he told LJ. “To say, OK, I'm not an expert but…I want to try to fix it. I'm going to talk about it. I'm going to try to get there.” Don’t be afraid to talk to city leadership, community members, and staff, Carman advised, and give everyone space to discuss issues. And speak up if you don’t understand something, because “the moment we start trying to impress each other with our knowledge or being out-woke is when we stop being effective. It's about support, not competition.” Also, he said, pick your battles. If it is clear that the library is unlikely to get support from its community, staff, or board, consider what can be accomplished—a strong collection, or intentional hiring. “If you're having trouble making your public-facing documents reflect what you'd like in the moment, concentrate on the other building blocks and keep working.” 5/6 Making equity work the backbone of library service is not always a simple process, said Wilmoth, but “this strategic plan at least sets forth some steps and gives us a timeline so it doesn't feel overwhelming—so we feel like we have a place to start and a route to get there that's more concrete and achievable and breaks it down for us.” Carman is pleased, he said, to extend the work that ICPL has been doing since before he arrived. “This strategic plan is in no way a departure from what the library has done in the past,” he noted. “It's just a continuation of a focus on trying to make things equitable and make the library really belong to everybody in the community.” Lisa Peet lpeet@mediasourceinc.com Lisa Peet is News Editor for Library Journal. 6/6 Elsworth Carman and Carson Williams Navigating any place of employment can be complex for transgender and nonbinary people, but having an informed and supportive supervisor can make things easier. Not all trans and nonbinary staff will need the same kinds of support, so it may take some dialog to find the right way to back your trans employees. Carson Williams, an Adult Services Librarian at the Benson Memorial Library in Titusville, PA, shares his experience of working with a supervisor who catered their support to Carson's needs.— Elsworth Carman Let’s face it, being a transgender/nonbinary individual is difficult. It can be even more difficult without any support at your place of employment. As librarians, we often find ourselves bending over backward to help anyone who walks through our doors, no questions asked. Let’s take that same energy and direct it toward our trans/nonbinary coworkers and employees. Thankfully, as a transgender librarian in a rural small town, I have had supervisors who have gone above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and safe. In fact, my current boss was the one who encouraged me to reach out to Library Journal to talk about my experiences as a queer librarian. Changing your legal name can be expensive, time consuming, and a bit uncomfortable for transgender people, who in some states have to announce their name change in local newspapers. For those reasons, I have not officially changed my name. When I was hired, I had to awkwardly explain this when giving my new boss my license and direct deposit information, ultimately outing myself. They immediately reassured me and asked what they could do to make things easier for me. Obviously some things could not be changed—my legal name would have to be printed on my pay stub each week—but there were ways to avoid letting other people in our system know my birth name, and to make sure my company email reflected the name I wanted. All steps that ensured that I would never be referred to as a name I did not want to be called. Supportive Supervisors | Trans + Script libraryjournal.com 1/3 When I was first hired, only my supervisor and a few other coworkers knew that I was transgender. As much as I love being in the queer community and am proud to be a transgender individual, I don’t want my gender expression to get in the way of my work. Some people hold strong, discriminatory beliefs about trans people, and if they know that I am transgender, it could hinder our work relationship and make things harder for both of us. In most situations, I will get a sense of how the person feels about LGBTQ+ issues, how they react to certain topics, and make the decision on my own, if I feel that it’s necessary. In the past, I’ve had well-intentioned coworkers tell patrons (most of whom were struggling with their own gender identity) that I am transgender without asking me first if they could disclose that information. They thought that I could offer some assistance to those in the queer community who needed help. While, yes, I would love to do that, it’s always best to ask someone first if they would be comfortable sharing that information. WHAT A MANAGER CAN DO Just like any place of employment, libraries may have a healthy mixture of younger and older employees, who grew up with different societal norms. Some librarians might not know how to navigate transgender rhetoric or how they should approach certain situations regarding the queer community or trans coworkers/employees. This is where a proactive supervisor can step in and make sure that the transgender employees aren’t the ones being asked questions about their identity on a daily basis. Mandatory, re-occurring LGBTQ+/diversity trainings, webinars, and information should be required. It will help queer library patrons, employees, supervisors, and those who weren’t raised in an environment where issues like this were talked about openly. As librarians, we should be staying up-to-date on the correct ways to serve all people. Finally, one of the easiest ways to show up and support your trans/nonbinary coworkers/employees is to be an advocate for them. Correcting people on pronouns, names, and sticking up for yourself can be emotionally taxing and difficult to do for transgender individuals. Having a supervisor or coworker do that instead shows their commitment to creating an uplifting, inclusive work space, where trans employees are respected and valued. If you don’t know where to start, little acts of inclusivity can help too. Tell all of your library employees to add their pronouns to their work email signature. Ask your trans employees what you can do for them. Stay informed on current LGBTQ+ issues. Make sure your library’s collection includes trans experiences. Constantly check in and make sure that your library is fostering an environment where a trans person would feel, not only included, but empowered and respected.

First, I want to reflect my thanks for all of the trustees and staff. It has been a challenging year. I truly appreciate all of your time and efforts to help us get through this while doing our best to continue serving our community. I look forward to seeing what new and exciting things we will be able to do in the new year as these challenges begin to fade into history. Next, it’s always a good time to be thinking about continuing education opportunities. The State Library of Iowa continues to provide many great opportunities, including many recently posted videos on their YouTube channel. I’d love to watch and discuss some of these if others are interested. These great, easily accessible ways to gain new insights and knowledge and can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/c/StateLibraryofIowaContinuingEducation/videos Finally, as we reflect on this year and begin to think about what comes next, I welcome any and all feedback from the board, staff, and public. Please think expansively about what you could give feedback on and share liberally. Thanks again and until we meet again in the new year, I hope you and yours have a great holiday season. Wes From an ICPL intranet posting by Beth Fisher on 12/4/2020 We sent a survey out to all the people who attended the Bullet Journal workshop the other night, and this came back in one of the “additional comments” sections. It’s nice to hear how much patrons miss us. I'll try not to write a book. We once wanted to move our family to Chicago, but the thought of leaving our favorite doctor and beloved library was almost too much to bear. What is it about the library that makes it so special? Of course there are the nice little dopamine hits one gets from cruising the shelves and selecting 18 books on everything from financial literacy to paper quilling. And it is, too, a fantastic place to meet friends and new people. But what really puts our library over the top are, of course, the people. You are all the bedrock of this funny little community we all share here in Iowa City. So many of us are honestly just so lost. Family is far away, modern means of therapy have highlighted the myriad ways those relationships may not have been the most developmentally healthy, and here we are now as adults trying to figure it all out. So, while I'm sure working at the library has more than its fair share of fickle personalities, strange smells, and existentially exhausting moments, please know that I speak for a great many of us when I say "Thank you!" from the very bottom of our hearts. You are saving us and giving us this sense of community and love and belonging that has perhaps always been missing in our lives. So when I say I cried when I saw Beth and Casey on our class call, I mean I felt the hot, happy, stinging tears of being HOME. We miss you all tons, and hope you're able to all stay safe!!! With much love from the weird and wacky bunch of us that call Iowa City home :) If you will need disability-related accommodations in order to participate in this meeting, please contact Elyse Miller, Iowa City Public Library, at 319-887-6003 or elyse-miller@icpl.org. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time to meet your access needs. 1 BOARD OF TRUSTEES Minutes of the Electronic Regular Meeting DRAFT November 19, 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, Kellee Forkenbrock, Carol Kirsch Robin Paetzold, Tom Rocklin, Hannah Shultz, Monique Washington. Members Absent: John Beasley. Staff Present, Elsworth Carman, Karen Corbin, Melody Dworak, Alyssa Hanson, Sam Helmick, Anne Mangano, Patty McCarthy, Elyse Miller, Brent Palmer, Jason Paulios, Angela Pilkington. Call Meeting to Order. President Beary called the meeting to order at 5:05 p.m. Public Discussion. Elyse Miller, Coordinator of Administrative Services at ICPL, said she is retiring at the end of the year. Items for Discussion/Action. Reopening Guidelines. The current draft includes feedback the Board provided last meeting. Carman spoke with Susan Vileta at Johnson County Public Health (JCPH) who said they are not comfortable supplying benchmarking numbers to help us determine when to shift back into Phase 1. Carman used the resources that were available to him and although it feels somewhat subjective, 25% seemed like a sensible number. Kirsch said this seemed reasonable. Carman iterated that the difference between now and March is how much we have learned. Kirsch would prefer we avoid closing down again. She asked if Carman believes staff are comfortable behind plexiglass. Carman said we respond as quickly as possible to each situation, for example, we limit the number of patrons in the building now. Carman said there is a range of staff feelings from very comfortable to those thinking the library should be closed now. Carman said the current increase in positivity rates has caused some nervousness among staff. Carman said we continue to take the guidelines very seriously. Rocklin said the positivity rate is defensible and the most important part is taking staff into account first and foremost. Rocklin appreciates the work that has gone into finding this number. President Beary said the guidelines do not require Board action. If you will need disability-related accommodations in order to participate in this meeting, please contact Elyse Miller, Iowa City Public Library, at 319-887-6003 or elyse-miller@icpl.org. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time to meet your access needs. 2 Policy Review: 808: Art Advisory Committee. This is a regularly scheduled policy review for which Paulios was responsible. Paulios said there were few changes. A motion to approve the policy with the changes suggested by staff was made by Schultz and seconded by Kirsch. Motion carried 9/0. Policy Review: 810: Discussion Rooms. This is a regularly scheduled policy review for which Paulios was responsible. Kirsch asked if we have had issues with people leaving identification. Paulios said he has given staff a wide berth in the documentation they accept. Providing identification is primarily for ensuring people stop by the page station when they finish using the room so we know the room is available for the next person. A motion to approve the policy with the changes suggested by staff was made by Rocklin and seconded by Forkenbrock. Motion carried 9/0. Staff Reports. Director’s Report. Carman is looking at the Administrative Coordinator position and making appropriate changes. The job will be posted for four weeks and the candidate pool will be evaluated thereafter. Carman had hoped to provide more information about mailing costs and the automated material handling (AMH) for this meeting but the increasing positivity rates made it difficult to meaningfully connect with other library directors while everyone is adjusting to the increasing positivity numbers. Departmental Reports. Adult Services. No comments. Community & Access Services. Kirsch said it is surprising how quickly things change, describing how we were at phase 3, and now we have reverted to an earlier phase. Development Office. McCarthy hoped everyone took advantage of the 24-hour online shopping opportunity at the 27th annual Book Gala with Prairie Lights. The store was pleased with the event. McCarthy reminded everyone that in 2020 there is a special provision of the CARES Act enabling everyone, including non-itemizers, to take a federal income tax deduction for cash gifts of up to $300 to nonprofit organizations, ICPL Friends Foundation included. Kirsch said she picked up a couple of books at Prairie Lights she purchased at the Book Gala, and she socially distanced outside on a line because others were also picking up their books. Miscellaneous. Paetzold asked for an update on damage to the Bookmobile. Carman said all internal and external reporting has been completed and submitted. Library staff and the police looked at all the available cameras and were unable to find any helpful images. Carman said the windshield is being replaced, and is much less expensive replacement than any of the other windows. Carman will be talking with Darian Nagle-Gamm, Director of Transportation to help find an alternative location for the Bookmobile this winter. Paetzold asked who is paying for repairs. Helmick said it is going to cost approximately $500 and insurance will cover it. Paetzold asked when we will be able use it again. Carman said the repairs will hopefully be completed next week, but in our current operating phase, the Bookmobile will not be on the road. If you will need disability-related accommodations in order to participate in this meeting, please contact Elyse Miller, Iowa City Public Library, at 319-887-6003 or elyse-miller@icpl.org. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time to meet your access needs. 3 President’s Report. Appointment of Committee to Evaluate Director. President Beary nominated Kirsch, Rocklin, and Shultz, who volunteered to serve on the committee. He thanked them for volunteering. President Beary compiled information when he served on this committee and will share it with the new members. The process needs to be completed for the director evaluation scheduled for the February 25, 2021 meeting. Typically, most of the committee work is completed in January so there can be conversation with Carman before the evaluation. Announcement from Members. None. Committee Reports. No Foundation meeting. Communications. None. Consent Agenda. There was no discussion. A motion to approve the consent agenda was made by Kirsch and seconded by Washington. Motion carried 9/0. Set Agenda for December meeting. Paetzold is interested comparing information about the level of caution and service delivery model we are using compared to peer libraries. Policy review. Holiday calendar update. Adjournment. President Beary closed the meeting at 5:37 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Elyse Miller 12/03/2020 15:54 |P 1 emiller |CITY OF IOWA CITY |Library Disbursements: November 1 to November 30, 2020 |apinvgla
