This language was originally a subsection to the Display Policy (805) and was moved out into its own policy in 2012. The Art Advisory Committee Policy is most often used to guide the selection process for our annual Art Purchase Prize competition which adds original art by local artists to the library's circulating art collection. Gifts are occasionally offered for inclusion to our permanent or circulating art collections and this committee may be used for advice regarding their merit. No significant changes are recommended at this time. Committee Recommendations: Restructure the numbering of sections to match other policies 808.2 Modify capitalization 808.3 Clarify language Action Required: Review policy and adopt as amended. Committee Members: Jason Paulios (Adult Services), Candice Smith (Adult Services) 808 Art Advisory Committee See also related policies: Collection Development Policy (601), Display Policy (805). E:111Y:3M 808.3-2 The purpose of the Library's Art Advisory Committee policy is to advise Library staff to ensure original displayed or circulated art is of high quality. Duties of the cC-ommittee include: 808.21 a.- To annually review and select original art for the lending collection. 808.22 b-. To periodically review gifts of art donated for the Library's permanent or lending art collections. 808,23 c—. To periodically advise Library staff on purchase or selection of original art for permanent display in the building. 808,24 d-. To periodically advise Library staff on public requests to display original artwork. The committee shall consist of six members, appointed by the Library Board for staggered three-year terms, who are knowledgeable in the field of art and one Library staff member, appointed by the Director, to serve in a non -voting capacity. Current library staff members are not eligible for board appointment. Art Advisory Committee members may not serve for more than two consecutive terms. Originally adopted: February 23, 2012 Reviewed: 1 1 /20/14 Reviewed: 1 1 /16/17 Revised: 1 1 /13/20 Revised: 9/28/23 810 Discussion Rooms Policy - Overview Proposal: A routine, three-year review of the Discussion Rooms Policy Issues: This policy has remained almost unchanged since 1985 despite covering different library buildings. Correspondence and meeting minutes throughout the 1990s describe many of the same issues we see today regarding what to do with patrons who don't carry identification, how to handle vandalism, and how best to parcel rooms out with regards to time. Egregious vandalism is rare and I'm unaware of any time we've billed a patron or received payment related to any billing related to vandalism of these rooms. n response to increasing demand we instituted a time limit for room use in 2017. We saw an increase of almost 1,000 more patrons served in the following years with a very low number of patrons being turned away, anywhere from a few per day to just one in a month. Last fiscal year we had our highest recorded room checkouts with 6,790 rooms used and only 109 turned away. The identification requirement is our last holdover issue and this can occasionally be a barrier to use. We have stopped holding onto IDs while a patron is using a room, but do still collect identification information in order to track live usage. There are up to nine rooms that need monitoring with regards to occupancy and length of time used, so having some identifying information really helps staff with tracking usage. As part of our procedures we allow those without IDs to use rooms with the approval of Info Desk staff. Since exceptions are already part of our internal process, we are recommending modification of the language to include requirements from our Meeting Room and Lobby Use Policy. Finally, for a while now we've discussed internally how the policy title doesn't match the vocabulary used by patrons or staff to describe the spaces (discussion room vs. study room) and recommend an update. Committee Recommendations: Change name of the Policy to describe the spaces as "Study Rooms" rather than "Discussion Rooms". This conforms to current in-house signage and website vocabulary as well as common patron/staff description. 810.2 Modify portion describing check-out process to better match current procedures and allow those without an ID to use the space without the need to seek Info Desk staff approval. Action Required: Review policy and adopt as amended. Committee Members: Jason Paulios (Adult Services), Brian Visser (Adult Services) 810 Study Rooms See also related policies: Meeting Room and Lobby Use Policy (806), Library Use Policy (809). 810,1 810,2 8103 810A The Iowa City Public Library provides rooms for quiet study or discussion. duc�, lcr.;nn study room must �a�e-show some form of identification A person requesting use of a or provide contact information. There is no fee for the use of library rrinh study rooms. All rooms are set in a standard room set-up and the person whose identification was recorded is responsible for returning the room to the standard set-up. This person may be charged for labor and materials to cover the cost of any damage. Rooms may not be reserved in advance and time limits are placed on the use of rooms in order to provide access to as many users as possible. Originally adopted: 6/27/85 Revised: 02/23/89 Revised: 06/25/92 Revised: 02/22/96 Revised: 04/27/00 Revised: 04/27/03 Reviewed: 02/23/06 Reviewed: 02/23/06 Revised: 05/28/09 Revised: 03/29/12 Revised: 10/20/14 Revised: 11 /16/17 Revised: 11 /19/20 Revised: 9/28/23 Director's Report Prepared for the September 28, 2023 Meeting of the Library Board of Trustees Elsworth Carman, Library Director Environmental Protection Agency Testing Results In May, the EPA performed some air quality testing in the library building. This testing was done to ensure that vapors from a former dry-cleaning business were not impacting air quality in the library. The EPA results (attached) indicate that "the concentrations of chemicals in the air are below risk levels of health concern." Threatening Messages Update ICPL received multiple threatening messages in late August. We implemented our Threatening Call Procedure and reached out to the Iowa City Police Department for help in assessing the risk and making a response plan, which included evacuating the building and having two bomb -detecting dogs with their University of Iowa Police Department handlers perform a building search. Everyone involved in managing the risk assessment and building search was professional and proactive; I am thankful for the support we received from the City of Iowa City Police Department and the University of Iowa Police Department. Staff deserve recognition for their prompt response to the building evacuation directive and thoughtful comments about what went well during the building evacuation and closure and what could be streamlined. Additional staff feedback will be solicited as the Leadership Team evaluates the Threatening Call Procedure. I appreciate the support of the Board around this issue; thank you for being engaged during a disruptive event. �AIEnsr�, s UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY REGION 7 11 201 Renner Boulevard Lenexa, Kansas 60219 Mr. Ron Knoche 123 South Linn Street Iowa City Public Library Iowa City, Iowa 52240 RE: Former Unique Cleaners Site; CERCLIS ID. No. IAN000721132 Dear Mr. Knoche: During the week of May 24, 2023, representatives of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency collected an indoor air sample from the property listed below. The sample was collected to evaluate whether vapors from the Former Unique Cleaners site in Des Moines, Iowa have the potential to enter the property. Contaminants associated with the site include tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE). The sample was analyzed by the EPA Region 7laboratory to determine whether the site -related contaminants listed above were present in the indoor air. The results from this sampling event are summarized in the table below. This information is being provided to you in accordance with Section 104(e)(4)(B) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended.

In the meantime, in response to some behavior and safety incidents, we have made the decision to close off access to the space after school and on weekends when Caty or Victoria are not available. This is not the path we wanted to follow but we had to make sure young people had someone to support them in the space during their visits. We still allow access to board games and craft materials for use outside the space and those wanting computer access can get guest passes for the public Internet PCs. Snack distribution has also moved to the Info Desk during closure times. For regular Teen Center computer visitors, the impact has been moderately annoying as they have discovered the public Internet PCs are not as fast and they can't listen to music without headphones. Temporary hours: Monday -Closed Tuesday - 4-8pm Wednesday - Closed Thursday - 4-8pm Friday - 4-8pm Saturday - 2-6pm Sunday - Closed The PlayStation 4 console had a damaged HDMI port that we attempted to repair at a local shop but after the 3rd attempt at soldering, we gave up and upgraded to the newer PlayStation 5. This console is backwards - compatible for PS4 games, so we can now play games from either system. Abraham Verghese Author Visit We have had a lot of successful programming events this fall already but none larger than the visit from bestselling author Abraham Verghese (thanks to Prairie Lights and Grove Press for the partnership). Over 250 attendees crowded into Meeting Room A with 20 more in our Storytime Room overflow space watching live on YouTube. We heard from many happy visitors, especially a patron from Des Moines who arrived at 4:00 to make sure she was first in line... her daughter later joined her via Dubuque. It was great to see a packed house author event again.

Stacey is managing the grant and has begun offering classes at ICPL and around town. Classes use digital learn.org (via PLA) free guided learning course materials. Our topics are: • Computer Basics with Windows 10 • Internet Basics • Email Basics with Gmail • Keep Yourself Safe online Some Patron Feedback "I loved that my teen and I could do this together. She wouldn't have gone alone." - From a patron that attended Stacey's "Digital Paint Along" class in the DML. DML Intern Charlie has been extremely popular since his arrival! A patron wrote the following note to Stacey about his work: "Just wanted to share that Charlie, your intern, was very helpful for questions I had on the computer. I hope you can find funding to keep him as he was full of computer knowledge and kind for an older Johnson Co. citizen." Community and Access Services Report Prepared for the September 28, 2023 Meeting of the Library Board of Trustees Sam Helmick, Community & Access Services Coordinator Back in Session The students are back in session which means the Iowa City Public Library staff are providing tours of the library, providing outreach at events like the UI Student Fair, offering library card sign up drives at the Main Library at the University of Iowa, as well as connecting with faculty to smoothly transition students into life and learning in the community. As an example, the English Honor Society scheduled an evening tour which culminated into programming opportunities to help students meet their goals. We are looking forward to helping them with their Banned Book Trivia night. A month can make a great difference at the Help Desk. In July, staff registered 313 Iowa City residents for new cards. In August, staff registered 727 Iowa City residents for new cards. The opportunity to provide person to person promotion of the physical and digital collections, the Library space and amenities, as well as our outreach services such as At Home, Jail, and the ICPL Bookmobile is quite great during this time of year. Freedom to Read Month The American Library Association provides content and graphics for two national campaigns this time of year: Library Card Sign Up Month (September) and Banned Books week (late September/early October). However, the profession is drifting away from language that suggests we "celebrate" banned books and is working on ways to frame topics and social commentary which meet more library users where they are socially and politically. Talking about freedom has shown to resonate with more people at this time. With this knowledge, Manny and Sam collaborated with the City of Iowa City Equity and Human Rights Department to craft a joint proclamation for a Freedom to Read Month. This partnership enabled us to incorporate more historical context as the proclamation recognizes the fundamental right of the freedom of expression by resolution 59 of the UN General Assembly adopted in 1946, as well as by Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. Freedom to Read Month was proclaimed at the September Council Meeting. our collaboration with the City of Iowa City Equity and Human Rights continues in the shape of programming as their department is sponsoring Onelowa Director, Keenan Crow, to present on Senate File 469 J � - DON'T SAY MY,' UNDERSTANDING INTI_ LC TQIA * LAVA TARGETING IGWA WE[iNFSOAY OCTOM®R 4 5,30.7:30PM LEEIING ROOM Ar LIVESTREAM oneima ,S to explain the implications of the "Don't Say Gay" bill for Iowans and their libraries. This is the first celebration of its kind to our knowledge. So far, it has been adopted by over fifty libraries around that nation. Sam has been asked to take it to the ALA Communications and Marketing office for 2024 launch. Climate Action Partnership Sarah Gardner from Climate Action has been an incredible partner with the Iowa City Public Library over the years. The ICPL Bookmobile showcases its solar panel each year at Climate Fest and has been invited to the Climate Fest Kick Off at Big Grove Brewery these past two years. We are excited to support them in their outreach and education to the community which will now include a Book Bike. While it will hold fewer tomes than the ICPL Bookmobile, it is certainly much more agile for programming and connection at congested community events. Work to launch and promote this new awareness and outreach tool as well as host information about its history, use, and location at icpl.orglbook-bike are taking place with the Library's IT, Marketing, and Public Relations Teams. Additionally, Climate Action received a grant to provide access and education about induction top cooking. Their department purchased six portable induction cooktops for the Iowa City Public Library to utilize for programming and instruction. Induction cooking is often considered one of the most efficient cooking technologies. with this technology, up to 90 percent of the energy consumed is transferred to food, compared to about 74 percent for traditional electric systems and 40 percent for gas. This energy efficient approach also provides a safe alternative to direct heat and open flame. we are looking forward to opportunities which connect our community with culinary literacy, cooking resources in the library collection, as well as green alternatives to meal prep. Communications and Marketing Alyssa, Manny, and Sam are working on a branding page to provide easy access to our logos and branding content for our community partners. The City of Iowa City Communications Department will be adopting this concept and we anticipate learning from each other in the process. Additionally, the City of Iowa City Communications Department would like to learn more about our internal ticketing system which is designed to track and process hundreds of graphics, scores of social media and digital marketing requests, and dozens of blog, articles, newsletter, and press releases created by the Marketing and Public Relations Team every month. Manny and Sam are also crafting a Crisis Communication guide for the ICPL Style Manual. Both the City of Iowa City Communications Team and ICPD Communication Team would like to collaborate in this process to develop a guide for City-wide use.

We use a third -party platform (Hootsuite) to simultaneously post to Twitter when sharing content on Instagram and Facebook. We will continue to review the use of Threads, Blue Sky, Mastodon, and Reddit but will need to allocate more staffing resources to add additional platforms to curate and monitor. Deposit Collections Over the years, Iowa City Public Library has created partnerships with institutions which directly benefit from the installation of curated collections by library staff. During the pandemic closure, these relationships drifted as did the library's ability to promote its collection and services as well as mitigate barriers to access. Mac, Audrey, and Heidi have reestablished these relationships and are working to formalize an annual delivery system which takes both library materials as well as library donations into needful spaces. This foundational work will enable us to provide strong, robust, and intentional services through Deposit Collection in the years to come. As the Community and Access Services Department answers the community's call to provide outward facing services like At Home, Jail, Bookmobile, Book Bike, Pop -Ups, and Deposit Collections, we will also continue to review our efforts to ensure we bring efficiency and comprehensiveness to our work.

LIBRARIANS. �Q t THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL PUBLIC LIBRARY BOMB THREATS THIS WEEK Kelly Jensen, August 30, 2023 Stochastic terrorism continues this week, following the numerous bomb threats made in Chicago -area libraries over the past month. Last week's book censorship news roundup included a look at six different libraries in the Chicago suburbs which received bomb threats, followed by two more bomb threats at an Oklahoma school district and a Davis, California, public library. Several of those libraries received not just one bomb threat, but several over the course of the week. What used to make headline news, though, now hardly gets a blip on the radar. This week, there have been numerous bomb threats called into public libraries across the country. These threats are, no doubt, connected to the right-wing rhetoric around libraries and librarians. The rise of stochastic terrorism is what emerges when a political movement chooses to label a group "groomers" or "indoctrinators," and through these bomb threats, they create terror for library workers and users alike. So what's happened this week? First, the Iowa City Public Library (IA) shut down Tuesday, August 29, for a bomb threat. The threat came in at 3:30, hours ahead of a scheduled event at the library with democratic State Senator Janice Weiner, the focus of which was legislation implemented that would impact education throughout the state. The threat also came 30 minutes after the library's social media posted about the apparel available to honor their summer reading program, which features an open book and a rainbow. We know the mere existence of rainbows has caused right-wing Christian nationalists trouble over the last three years. In Lincolnshire, Illinois, the Vernon Area Public Library received a bomb threat Tuesday, August 29. The library is in the northern Chicago suburbs, not far from the spate of libraries which had bomb threats over the last month. It came via the internet and was fashioned similar to the previous threats to libraries across the area. Both Wilmette Public Library and the Park Ridge Public Library reported this week they were targets of second bomb threats in the previous week as well. The FBI is opening an investigation now in Davis, California, after the public library received its third bomb threat in a week. Police believe the incidents to be related, as the individual who submitted the threats did so to local news organizations. The threats included anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and began when the library determined that because a Moms for Liberty chapter would not comply with the library's code of conduct, they would not be allowed to use the library's facilities for a speaker program. In Oakland, California, an elementary school received a bomb threat on Tuesday in response to the school's equity and inclusion group; it was instigated by right-wing social media. And in Tulsa, Oklahoma, an elementary school has been targeted twice with bomb threats over the last week. These emerged in response to a humorous TikTok video made by Ellen Ochoa Elementary librarian Kirby Mackenzie about book bans. That video was picked up by a right --wing group on Twitter known for instigating stochastic terrorism and creating chaos for educators and librarians over the last several years. The threats not only targeted the school but Mackenzie's own home. None of these threats are normal, and each of them is a federal crime. Library workers and educators have been under attack for nearly three years, and while it is unfortunate to note that bomb threats aren't new, their escalation over the last month demands attention and action. These should nationwide headlines, but they are hardly making a blip in their own local media. This stochastic terrorism is not only shutting down public institutions, but surrounding the few public goods in terror for workers and for users -this is, of course, the point, and yet, it should absolutely enrage every taxpayer who helps fund these institutions. Post -threat, libraries are seeing themselves targeted in other ways, too. Right-wing christofascists are submitting FOIA requests to acquire information about those who work in the library, demanding information such as their qualifications to be working in those facilities. It would be smart for any educator or librarian to lock down their personal social media to stay safe; even if a FOIA request does not turn up anything much, bad actors can get enough information to do a Google search and pull out anything that aligns with their agenda and make innocent people right-wing targets. The educators aren't okay. The library workers aren't okay. And the kids aren't okay, either. If this is about protecting the children, then why target two of the places that are among the safest for children to be? (We know the answer). It's time to write to your representatives and to your local media and demand protections for these people being targeted by a well-connected, wealthy vocal minority. It's been time for years, but with the lack of alarms being set off right now with actual bomb threats, it's crucial. It won't be long before a library worker is killed for simply doing their job. Whether or not you're ready to believe it, it's your backyard. r1rhe Daily Iowan THE INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA COMMUNITY SINCE 1868 Financial constraints loom over upcoming Iowa Cit budget year As the planning begins for next fiscal year's budget, Iowa City city councilors and staff will have to work around several financial stressors. Isabelle Foland, News Reporter September 10, 2023 �I Of ko - I�IAI� r►x10� Ttl�atie ti� h �� �r�-�� OIrrM ■ Awe ■ - - R • I -low- s� The City of Iowa City's next budget is almost certain to be tight because of several financial stressors, including property tax reforms, slow tax base growth, and inflation. These financial pressures have led to a decrease in one of the main sources of revenue for the city, which is a fiscal environment that could potentially mean future budget cuts if it continues or worsens. At the Iowa City City Council's Sept. 5 work session, the council outlined its budget priorities as well as challenges for fiscal 2025, which begins July 1, 2024. At the work session, as well as in the Aug. 31 information packet:, City Manager Geoff Fruin brought up the property tax reform legislation that was passed in the last legislative session. One of the biggest issues facing the budget this year is the phasing out of the city's emergency and library levies over the next four years, which are also used to help fund city climate action programs, Fruin said. Both levies amount to around $2 million. The city will now have to find a way to fit those services —funded by the two levies —into the general fund, he said. In fiscal 2024 —the budget year that began July 1 and ends June 30, 2024 the city's general fund budget is approximately $73 million. "Assuming that we don't want to change service levels either at our library or with our climate action programming, we have the task of trying to absorb that in the general fund, which of course is also the funding for our public safety, our parks and [recreation], our general government, and many other operations as well," Fruin said. Various tax reforms legislation has also meant certain properties are paying less on their property taxes, meaning less revenue for the city, Fruin said. In 2013, the Iowa Legislature passed a bill that dropped the amount of property tax revenue that could be made on multifamily properties, going from 100 percent taxability in fiscal 2014 to 54.65 percent in fiscal 2024, the packet states. City of Iowa City's general fund revenue A majority of the general fund has come from property taxes. N Property tax revenue I other revenue FY24: Total eneral fund revenue of S50,373,755 FY23_ iota[ eneral fund revenue of S58,519,087 1 1 • FY2-2: Total general fund revenue of S55,854,141 General fund revenue Source: Cit of Iowa C b A Flourish chart Di to visualization by 1Va t.,d ie Durrldi) To try to help local governments recoup the lost revenue from property taxes, the 2013 tax reform bill also put in place backfill payments to help supplement cities' revenue. However, the city will no longer receive such payments by fiscal 2026, the packet states. The city's taxable base, or properties in which the city can make revenue from property taxes, has also been in decline, Fruin said. The information packet states the city experienced a 0.8 percent decrease from fiscal 2023-24, which is by far the lowest decline in a two-year cycle in the past ten years. Additionally, inflation has driven up expenses in the city's budget, Fruin said. "Things like gasoline, heat, chemicals, those types of things, have impacted budgets well beyond the traditionally expected three to four percent growth in those line items," he said. Given these stressors, Fruin said it is unlikely any major service expansions will be able to be funded, but the city isn't at a point where it will have to start making budget cuts. However, these trends are not sustainable and may lead to cuts in the future if things don't change, he said. "I don't think we're there yet, but certainly when you look at two years of negative taxable growth, that's a trend that we can't continue," Fruin said. City staff will do its best to ensure city services are maintained, he said. General fund total expenditures Councilors are working to maintain services while facing fiscal pressures. r24 • Y23 a °o ao °a °a °o °a °a °a ao °° °a °° o° °a a° oa o° a° a° a° a° a° o� o� o° o° o° o° °° a° o° a° °° a° 4° a° o° a° a° o° a° source: City of Iowa City. * A Flourish chart D.= vi Lmliz i t oli by Natalie Dunlap In terms of budget priorities for the next fiscal year, Mayor Pro Tem Allegan Alter said she would like to prioritize creating services, like child care, free transport, and affordable housing, in the next budget that help make citizens' lives equitable. Alter said these services could help prevent citizens from reaching a point where they are under such strain that they have a mental health crisis. RELATED: Iowa City city officials concerned about future budget cuts "One option is to really look at,'What are the core things that people are really struggling with, and even if they're big, should we prioritize those so that maybe some of the other things that we also have on our strategic plan are mitigated by virtue of some of the larger potential solutions?"' Alter said. Mayor Bruce Teague brought up the issue of chronic homelessness in Iowa City as a priority he is set on. Specifically, he said collaborating with other municipalities in Johnson County to tackle this issue would be beneficial to help support those in need of housing. "in our community, we talk about housing as being a human right," Teague said. "I think if we were to really work collaboratively with other providers or municipalities in Johnson County, I really think we can make a continued effort in what we're doing with homelessness." Each of the city departments is working to draft its budgets, which will eventually be presented to the council around January to be deliberated on, Fruin said. The budget will then be finalized in the spring of next year. 0 111al n THE INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA COMMUNITY SINCE 1868 Iowa schools face book challenges without guidance from state officials As the trend of book challenges grows nationwide, Iowa schools have become a litmus test. Liam Halawith, Senior News and Politics Editor September 5, 2023 After a few short weeks into the school year, school librarians and administrators are facing challenges complying with a new Iowa law that restricts books, classroom instruction, and instructional material containing content of sex acts and gender identity. Senate File 496, which was signed into Iowa law last May, prohibits the use of curriculum or materials containing sexual content or discussion about gender identity. Iowa schools have not yet received any official guidance from the Iowa Department of Education, leaving school districts to interpret the law. This has led some districts, like the Urbandale Community School District of Urbandale, Iowa, a suburb of Des Moines, to preemptively remove 374 books containing sexual references and talks of gender identity from its libraries and classrooms. Other school districts have decided to wait until they receive guidance from the Iowa Department of Education. While Iowa schools wait for guidance from state officials, book challenges from members of the public and local officials continue to rise nationwide. According to data collected by the American Library Association, there were 1,269 individual attempts to challenge books in public and school libraries in 2022, which is more than double the number of challenges to books in 2021. Book challenges growing as conservative priority In 2022, over 2,500 unique titles were challenged nationwide, with 58 percent of challenged materials belonging to school libraries and classrooms. The state of Texas challenged the most books, with 93 attempts to challenge titles in public libraries. Iowa ranks at No. 21 out of 50 states in the number of book challenges in 2022. Jackie Biger, a professor and librarian program administrator at the University of Iowa School of Library and Information Sciences, said book challenges are commonplace in libraries around the country. All schools have a process for reconsideration, which happens after a parent or community member raises concerns about a book in a school library or classroom. The book is reviewed by a panel of school employees and stakeholders that decide the book's fate based on school district procedures, she said. Though Iowa isn't among the states with the most individual book challenges, Iowa ranks number two in the most library -adverse legislation with 10 library -adverse bills in 2023 two of which were signed into law according to a legislation tracker by the American Library Association. Sam Helmick, who works for the Iowa City Public Library and serves as the Iowa Library Association president, said the increase in book challenges and library adverse legislation points to a conservative movement to censor certain topics. Over 90 percent of the book challenges in 2022 were part of attempts to ban multiple titles, and 40 percent of those were challenges of 100 or more titles, according to American Library Association data. National groups like Moms for Liberty, a conservative group focused on conservative education policy, have become part of a national organized censorship movement. Legislation surrounding education and "wokeness" in schools have become popular topics among conservatives. Iowa Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds made ending "wokeness" in schools and other conservative education priorities like school choice, and legislation that targets LGBTQ+ youth and students her legislative priorities this year. Senate File 496 was proposed by Reynolds after her Condition of the State address in January and made its way through the Iowa Senate and House with conservative support. Republicans held a supermajority in the Iowa Senate and a strong majority in the House, allowing them to pass the governor's priorities without much challenge. SF 496 passed the Iowa Senate 34-16, on party lines, and passed the Iowa House 55-42, with some Republicans voting against the bill. Teresa Horton Bumgarner, the chair of the Johnson County Republicans, said she was in favor of the education bills passed last session, like SF 496, because it's common sense legislation. "We're not talking about taking things away," she said. "We're talking about not putting pornographic things in front of children." Books with LGBTQ+ or racial themes targeted Sara Hayden Parris, the founder and president of Annie's Foundation, a nonprofit aimed at advocating against book challenges, said she wholeheartedly believes in the freedom to learn and see representation in books. Over 80 percent of the books challenged in Iowa in the past three years were written by LGBTQ+ authors and authors of color, according to an investigation by the Des Moines Register. "Students thrive mentally and emotionally when they have access to books and materials that they identify with and they see themselves in," Hayden Parris said. Hayden Parris said that the exclusion of stories and authors with underrepresented stories sends a message to Iowa children. Jordan Mix, the director of educational programming at Iowa Safe Schools, a nonprofit that advocates for equity in Iowa schools for LGBTQ+ youth, said the new law targets LGBTQ+ stories and educational materials. Mix said parents of LGBTQ+ students in Iowa are distressed at this new law and the growing targeting of LGBTQ+ themes. Biger, a library sciences professor, said when students see themselves in the books they are reading it can help foster a love for reading. "There is magic in matching a reader to a book and everyone deserves to see themselves, their experiences, their lives, reflected in what they're reading in their library collections," Biger said. "Depending on how the law is being interpreted there is a whole array of emotions." The law states that schools must have age -appropriate materials in their libraries and defines age - appropriate as not including depictions of sex acts. The Iowa Department of Education has yet to provide guidance to school districts on this new law and has not provided them with a timeline for this guidance, according to the Iowa Library Association. Schools lack guidance from state Without guidance from the Iowa Department of Education, Iowa schools are left to interpret the law on their own. This has resulted in differing rules, procedures, and processes across the state. The Iowa Library Association, in partnership with the School Library Association, sent a letter of inquiry to the Iowa department of Education asking for clear guidelines and guidance for Iowa school libraries regarding the new state law. The Iowa Library Association and Iowa school districts have yet to receive a response or guidance from the Department of Education. Helmick said the lack of guidance from the state puts librarians, school districts, and administrators in charge of deciding how to comply with the law. They said the state usurped local control on book reconsideration with this new law and then failed to produce guidance on how to comply with it. "[The legislature] kind of painted school districts and teacher librarians into a corner, so it didn't feel appropriate to try to paint ourselves out without guidance," Helmick said. "That guidance didn't come." Iowa City Community School District has only had one book removed from its libraries. The book titled "This book is gay" was removed in March of this year after the district received multiple bomb threats. RELATED: Iowa City Community School District to remove controversial book following bomb threats The book was also removed from Sioux City Schools after Libs of TikTok, a conservative social media account, mentioned Sioux City Schools in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. The book received criticism in the post's replies for its depictions of gay sex and encouraging gay sex apps. In an email to The Daily Iowan, Iowa City Schools Spokesperson Kristin Pedersen said the district is working with lawyers, administrators, librarians, and teachers to comply with the new law. "Our curriculum and administrative teams are collaborating with their counterparts across the state to navigate this new legislation," Pedersen wrote. Helmick said if there is no guidance librarians and school districts will only have their personal perspective to rely on making these choices. Helmick said with differing interpretations some schools are restricting more books, and others are waiting for more guidance, but either way, they said, it tells students "what to think, not how to think." "We're not equipping our students to confront ideas that are agitating ideas that might be contrary to their personal beliefs," Helmick said. "It's not really equipping them for the world."

' N r Grace Smith Members of the Iowa City Public Library read to children and community members at the 2023 Iowa City Latino Pest on the Pedestrian Mall downtown on Saturday, AlUg. 26, 2023. Vendors sold food while comrnU11ity members enjoyed Latino traditions, music, food. and dance. Over 11 years. 50.00 attendees have visited she an n Ual festival with over 80 performances in the Iowa City tradition. Upbeat music filled the Pedestrian Mall in downtown Iowa City this weekend with the scents of spices and sizzling meat wafting between white tents as vendors sold colorful handmade accessories. The 11 th annual Latino Fest was held on Saturday in downtown Iowa City. When Manny Galvez originally organized the Latino Fest with his wife, he intended for the event to be an expression of Latina culture and a way by which Latino family vendors could reach the eastern Iowa community. Wendy Silva and her son Austen Ramirez sold vibrant handbags and beaded ornaments made by Silva's mother in Mexico. "She's happy because she can bring something from Mexico here," Ramirez said about his mother. Silva said through a translator that she also wanted people to see what it is possible to make with their hands. The festival featured a packed schedule of onstage talent, including acts like a bilingual show and an Iowa City Public Library story time for children attending the event, the Manolo de Aragon & Mambo Soul Dance Company, the Sones de Mexico Ballet Folklorico, and Grupo Innstinto. Among the performers was Dilia Castaneda, who takes the creative name Chica Dilia. The 24-year-old singer and fashion designer has been participating in the Latino Fest with her family since she was a young girl. The event has allowed Castaneda to share her talents with the wider community and gain recognition for her creative expression. "There's a lot of talent," Castaneda said. "But a lot of people don't really show it and Latino Fest is kind of an opportunity where we can actually come out as a community within a community to show what we can do with all sorts of things." Galvez said that he and his wife wanted to create a space where people could connect through culture, especially because the Latinx community has recently become a political "target." "It is not okay because we are not a political topic," Galvez said. "We are humans. And it's an opportunity to say'You know what? our family is the same as your family.' We have the same wishes and the same dreams for our future, and, most importantly, we are working as hard as everybody to make Iowa and this country stronger every day." r1r][le I)ally THE INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA COMMUNITY SINCE 1868 LibCon at Iowa City Public Library creates space for comic fans of all ages Iowa City's third LibCon event brought together a wide variety of comic artists and enthusiasts to enjoy all things nerdy across generations. Lily Czechowicz and Charlie Hickman September 11, 2023 The Iowa City Public Library hosted its third annual LibCon comic book convention this weekend, which brought comic, cartoon, and art lovers of all ages together to enjoy their favorite hobbies. 39 Marking the first LibCon since 2019, comic fans were treated to a convention featuring a wide variety of booths and activities. Local artists provided samples of their work, a room designated for board games was set up, and there was a viewing area for can -goers to relax and watch the 2023 blockbuster hit "Spider -Man: Across the Spider -Verse." Doug Brenner represented the social club Mindbridge Foundation, which holds -he annual conventions Animelowa, GamiCon, and ICON in the Iowa City and Coralville area. Brenner noted that AnimeCon hosts almost 3,000 attendees and GamiCon is open to a wide range of ages. "We want young folks to get excited about these things as we have been for many years," Brenner said. Brenner said his love for science fiction extended beyond a passion for science and served as a form of escapism. "Science fiction was something that I was introduced to when I was really young and, growing up being gay, didn't really feel like I was fitting in necessarily," Brenner said. "Yet, this world suddenly seemed like a world that meant something with people being different." The world of science fiction seemed to resonate with the LGBTQ+ community and providing a space for those who may feel othered is important to artist Kate Doolittle, who expressed the importance of representation at events like LibCon. "I want them to come away with, especially if they're queer, that you belong. And even though the state is trying to systematically eradicated from existence you deserve to have a place here," Doolittle said. Their table was covered in stickers, buttons, zines, and handmade crafts about the environment, sharks, and representation of LGBTQ+ folks. Most of the art at Doolittle's table was under $5. Iowa City cartoonist Shane O'Shaughnessy has been presenting his Mad Magazine -inspired art at major conventions in Chicago, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, and Portland since 2011. They said that the Iowa City comic scene was not much different than that of Chicago, despite the difference in the cities' respective sizes. "You get to know everybody," O'Shaughnessy said. "It's a hometown, small town kind of vibe." This opinion was shared by one attendee, Katherine Randazzo. Randazzo has attended plenty of major conventions in the past but shared that LibCon felt "much more authentic." "Larger conventions don't really have that [authenticity] because they're so commercialized," Randazzo said. A common theme among the more seasoned convention participants was including new generations of fans in the hobbies they all love. "A lot of the old players are really enthusiastic about teaching new players," Jherek Ford, representing Hobby Corner at their booth, said. "My dad played D&D, so I started as a little kid. I started at four years old, but I wasn't really role-playing. was sitting on his lap and rolling his dice for him," Ford said. "It's everything that I love, everything that's important to me." Editor's note: Kate Doolittle is a former employee of The Daily Iowan. Editor's note: A previous version of this article said that LibCon is one of three conventions that Mindbridge hosts. However, Mindbridge hosts Animelowa, Gamicon, and ICON. The Daily Iowan regrets this error. orward JEWISH. INDEPENDENT. NONPROFIT. IT. Why Jews should pay close attention to book banning and bomb threats against libraries Threats against libraries across America recall a harrowing antisemitic history By Aviya Kushner September 13, 2023 Bomb threats against libraries have become a growing trend in the U.S., and the Jewish community should pay attention. Violent attacks on books are a sad and dangerous theme throughout Jewish history, and the escalation from book bans to threats of physical violence should not be ignored. Several libraries in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs were closed yesterday due to called and emailed bomb threats. According to the Chicago Sure -Times, the Chicago Police Department learned that "an employee at the Harold Washington Library Center, 400 S. State St." the flagship branch of the Chicago library system "received an anonymous email saying that there was a bomb inside the building. A bomb squad and canine units did a sweep of the building, located in downtown Chicago, but did not find a bomb. The Evanston, Addison, and Aurora public libraries, all in Illinois, also received threats. The threats "came as Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias testified at a Senate hearing about the state's first -in -the -nation ban against bans," according to the Chicago Sun -Times. But this isn't just happening in Illinois. In late August, a bomb threat shut down the Iowa City Public Library. The Davis, California, library has received multiple threats. And in Forsyth County, Georgia, a young library volunteer made a bomb threat. Fortunately, so far, all the threats have been just that threats. But any actual act of violence at any library will make going to the library a lot less safe. And these threats, called or emailed in, shut down libraries for everyone, and should be viewed as the ultimate form of censorship. Jewish books banned throughout history Jewish books are the original banned books from the medieval attacks on the Talmud to Nazi book burning. On June 17, 1242, on the orders of both the pope and King Louis of France, all copies of the Talmud were burned. According to the Jewish Virtual Library, "24 wagon loads of books totaling thousands of volumes were handed to the executioner for public burning. Subsequently, the burning of the Talmud was repeatedly urged by the popes as well as various kings." The 24 cartloads included more than 12,000 books. Additional burnings took place in Toulouse, France, in 1319. In his manual for inquisitors, Bernard Gui specifically mentioned the great medieval commentators Rashi and David Kimhi as well as Maimonides as writers whose work should be condemned. According to PEN America, 1,648 books have been banned across the United States. "Book -banning now is not about the book. It is intentional and willful discrimination, erasing people and their identities from our society," Illinois State Senator Mike Simmons wrote in an op-ed explaining why he sponsored a bill to ban book banning. As book bans spread and bomb threats against libraries increase, Jewish communities should also be aware that bomb threats against Jewish institutions are on the rise. The Anti --Defamation League recorded an increase from 8 bomb threats to 91 threats against Jewish institutions in 2022. And it's worth remembering that there is a long history of violence against Jewish books, and the people and places that own them. Prior attacks on Jewish libraries In 201 S, The Times of Israel reported that the window at the Jewish library near Lyon, France, was smashed and a man shouted, "we'll get all of you Jews," before he mounted a scooter and was driven off by someone else. In the Library of Congress, it's possible to view centuries -old Jewish books with passages physically cut out by censors. As I have written in a previous article for the Forward, I was stunned to see prayer itself censored in the case of a 1486 edition of a prayer book. An attack on libraries is an attack on books, but also an attack on history and truth. As Rosh Hashanah approaches, Jews should remember that the machzor itself was a victim of censorship. Jewish history shows that attacking books and ideas leads to attacking people. It's bad enough that threatening libraries is a trend, and that bomb threats against Jewish institutions are up more than 11-fold. Let's raise awareness and make sure this situation doesn't escalate further. Aviya Kushner is the Forward's language columnist and the author of"Wolf Lamb Bomb" and "The Grammar of God."

(Geoff Stellfox/The Gazette) As an Iowa library worker, former chair of the Iowa Governor's Commission of Libraries, and as the current Iowa Library Association President, I affirm and seek support of the Iowa Commission of Libraries as a governing board. The State of Iowa Library as well as its stewardship of state and federal funds which support open Access, Interlibrary Loan and Direct State Aid to Iowa libraries now report to the Department of Administrative Services, which makes knowledgeable oversight by a Board of library professional, patrons, and community members more critical. Iowa has more public libraries per capita than any other state. The Governor's Commission of Libraries and State of Iowa Library Advisory Councils are citizens, library workers, and educators who strateg ize, guide, and facilitate the work of public, school, and academic libraries as well as museums. Their collective dedication, experiences, and skills are essential to the good work and impact created by information access throughout the state. Commissions reflect the values and perspectives of Iowans all around the state and enable the State Library to provide services which answer to the priorities and needs of all Iowans. implore fellow Iowans to keep government "of the people, by the people, and for the people," by conveying the message to the Governor's Boards and Commissions Review Committee that this commission should not only remain as a governing board, but also have the vacancies be filled. Without the oversight of the commission, the work of the State Library has the potential to be one of the least transparent and most political in the country. As importantly, specialized focus on federal funding structures, library standards, and the rapid change of digital access to information requires a community of engagement Iowans through the commission to help navigate the future of knowledge sharing. The unintended outcomes of removing this important and specified work from active, knowledgeable Iowans dedicated to literacy, learning, and intellectual freedom would be detrimental to small and rural libraries, students both traditional and lifelong, as well as Iowans who benefit by easily accessing entrepreneurial, recreational, and educational resources. ask library users and library workers to continue to support libraries by supporting their transparent and robust structure of governance.

Book Bans, Library Bomb Threats, and the- Absurdly9���d�Broad Impact of a Fringe Few By GLAAD I September 1, 2023 GLAAD is documenting book bans and challenges around the country, monitoring local news and vital resources like Book Riot to note what is happening and who is responsible. This week's roundup shows three troubling trends: Book banners are following a familiar, increasingly violent trajectory. At least 10 libraries faced bomb threats over the last weeks, similar to the targeting of children's hospitals and health care providers last yea r. • Book banners continue to be few and fringe, but with absurdly outsized reach. A new report shows 600 of 11100 book complaints in Florida since last July originated from two people, a teacher in Escambia County, and the 57--year-old Florida chapter founder of the extremist group "No Left Turn in Education." • Extremists might be wising up to the fact that book bans are deeply and broadly unpopular, though they're still trying to do it. There are now reports about districts using methods normally used to remove old or damaged books to target current books about LGBTQ people, race and abortion, and board members accessing school libraries to scope out shelves without prior permission, using flashlights and false pretenses. Here's a brief recap: Iowa, Illinois, California: Libraries Facing Bomb Threats Book Riot reported last week about seven libraries in the Chicago suburbs receiving bomb threats, as well as two bomb threats at an Oklahoma school district and a threat against a Davis, California, public library. "Several of those libraries received not just one bomb threat, but several over the course of the week," Book Riot notes. This week: more threats - Iowa City Public Library; the Vernon Area Public Library in Lincolnshire, Illinois; the Wilmette Public Library and the Park Ridge Public Lib rar each reported a second bomb threat in a week. In Davis, California, the FBI is now investigating after the public library received its third bomb threat in a week that included anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and began when the library determined that a Moms for Liberty chapter could not use the library's facilities for a speaker program because it would not comply with the library's code of conduct. Bomb threats are a tactic used by extremists and encouraged by extremist social media, including campaigns last year that targeted 24 children's hospitals and providers in 21 states. Florida: Escambia County Public Schools Hides Unreviewed Books To comply with Florida HB 1069, which grants anyone the ability to object to books, Escambia County Public Schools' media specialists recommended concealing unreviewed books, including plastering library shelves with black paper. "Now it seems like the district is intentionally disguising what is actually going on," Georgia Clarkson Smith said. "They're just straight up masking what's actually happening It's deeply unsettling." Clarkson Smith says lawmakers and groups like "Morns for Liberty" falsely push book bans as "parental choice" without considering her choices as a parent to have books accessible. •� PEN America Q �a. : 3 weeks go #Florida: Photos of covered shelves in Escambia County School libraries are raising concerns among parents and citizens.

No Left Turn's extremism includes spreading disinformation and racist rhetoric to protest teaching about slavery and racism, before turning its sights on LGBTQ books. "We have probably spent more resources on Bruce than anyone else in the history of the school district," Roger Dailey, Clay County's assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction, told the Tampa Bay Times. Dailey said Friedman contacts the district nearly every day, including twice while Dailey was on the phone with the Times.

Klein ISD also removed at least 67 titles from all its libraries after they were banned or challenged elsewhere, KHOU reported. The Texas American Civil Liberties Union sent a letter to the district last year, writing, "Klein ISD has disappeared books from its libraries it has secretly removed dozens of books from its shelves," a "violation of the First Amendment, the Texas Constitution and Klein ISD's own policy. /I In an equally sneaky move, two individuals were caught rifling through the library at Granbury High School, southwest of Dallas -Fort Worth.

Lowery and a companion, Carolyn Reeves, who was granted visitor access to the cafeteria to participate with Lowery in a charitable event for disadvantaged students, instead entered the darkened library and began snapping pictures of books. Lowery and Reeves were spotted by an assistant principal, and falsely claimed to have received authorization from the school's principal and superintendent. Last week, the district's school board voted 5-2 to censure Lowery, but The Dallas Morning News reports it "effectively served as a public reprimand" and that "the board has no power to ask or compel Lowery to resign."

Iowa's ongoing struggles to comply with Senate File 49� (Iowa's version of Don't Say LGBTQ) has led the Mason City Community School District to use ChatGPT to determine which books are "age appropriate." The review process includes providing the Al chatbot with "lists of commonly challenged books," which are then integrated into "a master list of books that should be reviewed." So far, this has resulted in the examination of 42 titles, 19 of which have been banned. Included among the titles was the 1990 nonfiction sports novel, Friday Night Lights which, as author Buzz Bissinger noted, does not contain an "explicit description of a sexual act." Following review by the district's Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction Bridgette Exman, the book was returned to school shelves last week. PopSci ran their own test on ChatGPT, providing it with the prompt, "Do any of the following books or book series contain explicit or sexual scenes?"

ICPL reopened on its regular schedule Wednesday morning. According to a written statement issued by the library on Tuesday evening, "The situation is currently under investigation, and we are working closely with the authorities to ensure the safety of everyone involved." No information regarding the nature of the threat was provided in the statement. Lee Hermiston, the city's public safety information officer, told Little Village the bomb threat was made online, but did not disclose more details about the threat other than to say it was determined to be not credible and remains under investigation. "Since Wednesday morning, the Iowa City Public Library received multiple additional threats online," Hermiston said in an email. "After closely evaluating the circumstances and nature of this incident, library staff in consultation with the Iowa City Police Department decided to avoid further disruption to library services and open as regularly scheduled." The ICPL bomb threat is one of many that libraries across the country have experienced lately. Kelly Jensen at Book Riot has been tracking the ongoing campaign of threats and intimidation. Last week, Jensen noted, there were "six different libraries in the Chicago suburbs which received bomb threats, followed by two more bomb threats at an Oklahoma school district and a Davis, California, public library. Several of those libraries received not just one bomb threat, but several over the course of the week." Like ICPL, the Vernon Area Public Library in the Chicago suburb of Lincolnshire received a bomb threat on Tuesday.. The public library in the northern California city of Davis has received three bomb threats in less than one week. "The threats included antiµLGBTQ+ rhetoric and began when the library determined that because a Moms for Liberty chapter would not comply with the library's code of conduct, they would not be allowed to use the library's facilities for a speaker program," Jensen reported. Many of the threats follow online targeting of the libraries on social media by rightwing groups. Anti-LGBTQ hostility is a common factor as well. "These threats are, no doubt, connected to the right-wing rhetoric around libraries and librarians," Jensen wrote. "The rise of stochastic terrorism is what emerges when a political movement chooses to label a group `groomers' or `indoctrinators,' and through these bomb threats, they create terror for library workers and users alike." In the statement from ICPL on Tuesday, Library Director Elsworth Carman said, "Vile take any threat to our patrons and staff Very seriously. We are working closely with the police to ensure the safety of our facility, and we will keep the community updated as more information becomes available."

The threat was received around 3:30 p.m. and drew a large Iowa City and University of Iowa police presence to the area. The building was evacuated and the university's bomb -sniffing K-9 units canvassed the scene, sweeping through the building and ultimately determining that there was no true immediate threat inside or outside of the library.

Bowker I Iowa City The Lone Tree Community School Library is receiving up to $3,000 from Johnson County for operational support during Fiscal Year 2024, which began July 1. The Johnson County Board of Supervisors approved a service agreement with the Lone Tree School Library during its formal session held Sept. 7. n addition to serving Lone Tree students, the library is open to the public four days a week (3:30 to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday), and two Saturdays per month.

The Lone Tree Library is seeking four members of the public to serve on a community advisory board. The deadline to apply to the Lone Tree City Council is Sept. 27.

Youth Shelter Supervisors are ready to award more than a million dollars for the construction of a new youth crisis shelter, but legal issues are causing a delay by at least one week. Ryan Maas, a county attorney, said more details on a transaction need to be resolved because a direct monetary gift to a nonprofit organization could be a Violation of the state's constitution. The youth shelter initiative is being organized by Sarah Nelson, Chief Executive officer of CommUnity Crisis Services, and Talia Meidlinger, Executive Director of United Action for Youth. The shelter would be an updated replacement of the Four oaks Youth Shelter, which closed July 1. Nelson and Meidlinger are asking for $1,050,000. Supervisors are in favor of helping out amid hopes that the Mental Health/Disability Services of the East Central Region will also contribute financially. "They were clearly not interested in funding it now because it's the start of the fiscal year," Supervisor Rod Sullivan said. Supervisor V Fixmer-oraiz wanted Johnson County to help since the state is not stepping in. "I think this is another opportunity for Johnson County to stand up again and say, 'We will take care of our youth,"' Fixmer-oraiz said. "The state clearly is invested in harming our youth." The new facility, located on Highway 6 in Iowa City, is big enough to offer shelter for 12 youth, along with programming space, a pond, and open space for walking and other activities. Board Action The Board approved a resolution expanding the Community Food and Farm Grant Program using American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds.

Iowa City Public Library Board of Trustees Meeting Minutes August 24, 2023 2nd Floor - Boardroom Regular Meeting - 5:00 PM DRAFT Tom Rocklin -President Lucy Santos Green Robin Paetzold DJ Johnk -Vice President Joseph Massa John Raeburn Hannah Shultz -Secretary Claire Matthews Dan Stevenson Members Present: DJ Johnk, Joseph Massa, Claire Matthews, Robin Paetzold, John Raeburn, Tom Rocklin, Lucy Santos Green, Hannah Shultz, Dan Stevenson. Members Absent: None. Staff Present: Elsworth Carman, Anne Mangano, Jen Miller, Jason Paulios, Angie Pilkington, Katie Roche. Guests Present: John Kenyon. Call Meeting to Order. Rocklin called the meeting to order at 5:00 pm. A quorum was present. Approval of August 24,, 2023 Board Meeting Agenda. Raeburn made a motion to approve the August 24, 2023 Board Meeting Agenda. Johnk seconded. Motion passed 9/0. Public Discussion. John Kenyon, Executive Director of Iowa City UNESCO City of Literature, addressed the Library Board. Kenyon discussed recent legislation that put school librarians in a predicament. The City of Literature wrote a letter in response to the legislation. Helmick entered at 5:01 pm. Kenyon presented the letter to the Board and stated that the City of Literature was hoping to get other organizations to endorse the letter with the intent to present a united front against the legislation. Kenyon would like to get the letter out sometime next week for the start of school. Rocklin said this item was not on the agenda and so the Board could not take formal action on it. Rocklin said he would bring this up in his President's report to discuss further possibilities. Rocklin introduced new trustee, Lucy Santos Green. Santos Green introduced herself as the Director of the School of Library and Information Science at the University of Iowa. The Trustees introduced themselves to Santos Green. Library coordinators introduced themselves to Santos Green. Items to be Discussed. Review 4th Quarter Financials and Statistics. Raeburn asked if the library has a sinking fund for repairs and If you will need disability -related accommodations in order to participate in this meeting, please contact Jen Miller, lowa City Public Library, at 3 79-887-6003 orj'ennifer-miller@tcpl.org. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time to 69 meet your access needs. scheduled replacements. Carman said yes, there are replacement funds. Carman offered one-on-one appointments with trustees for a deeper dive into the budget. Massa asked when the July 2023 receipts and expenditures would be available. Carman said the disbursements are included in the back of each board packet, and there are also quarterly budget updates with year to year comparisons every three months. Policy Review: 816 Library Access for Sex Offenders Convicted of Sex offenses Against Minors. Raeburn asked about the legal document in the board packet with Iowa code that said Library Directors could overturn permission. Raeburn noted that it has been removed in the library's policy and wondered why. Carman agreed that was accurate, ICPL's policy is more conservative than the code. carman said his understanding is that the policy helps define whether someone falls into the category of a sex offender convicted of a sex offense against a minor. According to policy Carman would deny that request while the individual could appeal that decision with the Library Board. Raeburn recommended a novel by Russell Banks, "The Lost Memory of Skin", about a group of sexual offenders in Miami living under a bridge. The central character is a young man in his twenties who was convicted of sex crimes because he had a girlfriend who was 17 years old. Raeburn said if that person came to the library to appeal, good sense would probably say yes, they could come to the library. Raeburn said people in these circumstances have a life trajectory they will never be free of, they will never atone for it. Raeburn felt the Board should remove the policy language and make it possible for someone with good reason to be able to use the library. carman said that was a valuable comment and shared people who fit that definition are able to have library cards and use all of the other library services except using the building. Paetzold said in the past there has always been the issue of using the meeting rooms vs going past the library gates, or accessing a public meeting vs going into the stacks. Paetzold said someone once appealed who wanted to attend political meetings as a voter. Paetzold said library materials are accessible but the ability to congregate is harder. Joh n k asked if current policy prohibits the use of the Bookmobile. carman said the Bookmobile is included in this policy. Stevenson asked if a case had ever been brought to Board. Paetzold said yes. Stevenson said making that decision would require major judgement and felt it should be undertaken by the group of Trustees. Paetzold said when an appeal was made to the Board previously, the meeting was attended by the City Attorney, the patron's attorney, and a representative of the prison system. Paetzold said the ability to appeal is possible but it is also complex. carman said patrons have made inquiries to him but no one has followed up with an appeal to the board. Carman said in all but one instance the ability to get a proxy card satisfied the need of the patron. In that instance the person wanted to access the library's used book store and Carman's decision was not to grant permission because there are other used bookstores in the community. Rocklin discussed the policy with Carman prior to the meeting and considered input from the city Attorney's office. Rocklin had concern there wasn't a definition for criteria in an appeal process, it would be free floating. Rocklin shared he has become more comfortable with that and acknowledged it would be a difficult decision to make. Paetzold said decisions aren't always black and white but could be a yes under certain situations. Rocklin shared he had experience hearing student appeals as part of the discipline process at the University of Iowa, his anchor in those moments was to apply policy. Rocklin noted the library policy is ambiguous but noted these events are rare. Matthews asked about accessing meeting rooms remotely. Carman said livestreaming library events began during the COVID closure. Matthews asked if staff livestreamed non -library programs. carman said staff do not but thought that was an interesting idea. Paetzold asked if staff livestreamed League of Women voters events. Paulios said yes, cosponsored events are livestreamed. Matthews noted 2024 is an election year and the need to access to the meeting rooms may become higher. Rocklin suggested individual meetings could become virtual. If you will need disability -related accommodations in order to participate in this meeting, please contact Jen Miller, lowa City Public Library, at 3 79-887-6003 orj'ennifer-miller@tcpl.org. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time to meet your access needs. 70 Raeburn said no other category of citizen is excluded from the library. Carman agreed but noted patrons who have been suspended by the library also may not enter. Raeburn said felons of other kinds can walk out of jail and come to the library. Carman said that is correct. Raeburn said there are people in this category that probably shouldn't be in the library but felt patrons who try to appeal may sincerely want to use facilities and may have paid their debt to society but will be punished for the rest of their lives. Paetzold said historically the library has asked other city facilities for their sex offender policies to be considered too and they also had limitations. Raeburn was concerned the library had gone further than the Iowa code goes, and asked why. Shultz said to protect the Library Director. Shultz said a Board meeting can be called in 24 hours and a decision to appeal could be made quickly. Rocklin agreed there shouldn't be lifetime punishments for most crimes but struggled to determine what guidelines to give to the Library Director. Santos Green said the more you spell out criteria the more meat you give someone to argue criteria. Santos Green can understand the importance of ambiguity in policy as it creates space for a more thorough consideration. Santos Green instead proposed creating a process. Rocklin said the policy without any details is the process. Rocklin was reassured by the prior appeal Paetzold mentioned as that person brought representation and got their due process at that meeting. Matthews said you have to stick with the code whether you like it or not, there is only so much you can do. Carman discussed the unattended children policy which states that children under six need an adult with them, children over six can use facilities on their own. Carman emphasized that adult caregivers need to care for children. Carman said patrons don't have to show an ID for very much to be in the building, the policy only works if staff recognize an individual or the individual communicates their status to staff. Carman felt it was hard to decide where to put the line in a way that allows access, protects vulnerable populations, and protects the library mission in a fair way. Massa made a motion to approve Policy 816. Stevenson seconded. Motion passed 8/1. FY23 Board Annual Report. Rocklin said this item was prepared by staff and is returning from last month.

Roche said it will be a merchandise -heavy couple of months. There is a T-shirt store open with old Capital Printing through September 8. when that store closes, a Raygun store will support the Friends Foundation. Roche doesn't expect sales to be earth -shattering but it is great promotion for the Library. Stevenson asked Roche to send the links to the Trustees. Rocklin asked Roche about the budget passth roug h reference and asked where that was going from and to. Roche said this is a placeholder number that could be any number, it is representative of funds that are for distinct projects for the library. Roche gave the example of a grant specifically for books. Rocklin asked if the Foundation was spending reserve funds. Roche said the organization has been digging into reserve funds for a number of years and Roche wanted to make sure that practice was clear in her reporting.

Roche is hopeful that efforts will go well and the Foundation won't need to use reserve funds next year. Rocklin noted there wasn't a reserve sheet and asked how big is the reserve fund. Roche said that information will be reported next month. Roche said the Foundation is investing in new things that haven't been done here before. The Foundation Board discussed reducing spending to increase profit but felt to advance the organization it needed to take on more spending. Rocklin was in support of spending money to make money. Roche said ICPLFF radio ads will be on Iowa Public Radio soon. Johnk would love to see T-shirt sales get reported next month if possible. Miscellaneous: News Articles. None. President's Report.

Iowa City Public Library Board of Trustees Meeting Minutes August 28, 2023 2nd Floor - Boardroom Special Meeting - 5:00 PM DRAFT Tom Rocklin -President Lucy Santos Green Robin Paetzold DJ Johnk -Vice President Joseph Massa John Raeburn Hannah Shultz -Secretary Claire Matthews Dan Stevenson Members Present: DJ Johnk, Joseph Massa, John Raeburn, Tom Rocklin, Lucy Santos Green, Hannah Shultz, Dan Stevenson. Members Absent: Claire Matthews, Robin Paetzold. Staff Present: Elsworth Carman, Jen Miller, Brent Palmer. Guests Present: None. Call Meeting to Order. Rocklin called the meeting to order at 5:02 pm. A quorum was present. Santos Green entered at 5:02 pm. Raeburn clarified the letter couldn't be edited. Rocklin agreed, Trustees should either endorse the letter or not endorse. Approval of August 28,, 2023 Board Meeting Agenda. Raeburn made a motion to approve the August 28, 2024 Board Meeting Agenda. Shultz seconded. Motion passed 7/0. Public Discussion,, None. Items to be Discussed. Review and Endorse Letter from Iowa City UNESCO City of Literature Letter. Rocklin said Trustees couldn't expect to make suggestions and see them implemented. Rocklin said it could be endorsed with suggestions to pass along to the City of Literature. Santos Green approved endorsing the letter with suggestions. Santos Green was in strong support of presenting a unified front but felt the language was vague and had concerns it opens us up to a quid point of return speech. Santos Green felt it was very simple for someone to come back and say we're not banning books. The term banning books is ambiguous. Santos Green said it is simple to say we're not banning books because you can buy it on Amazon or on your own. Santos Green suggested using clear terminology with the example of book challenges, an attempt to remove or restrict materials based upon the objection of one person or one group. Santos Green said book censorship practices is the preferred clarification because you can then describe terms in four distinct categories: redaction, relocation, restriction, If you will need disability -related accommodations in order to participate in this meeting, please contact Jen Miller, lowa City Public Library, at 3 79-887-6003 orj'ennifer-miller@tcpl.org. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time to meet your access needs. and removal. Santos Green referred to the proposed letter and said by saying we are not for book banning we are still open to redaction, relocation, and restriction. Santos Green said generally most people associate book banning with removal. Santos Green said it was important to request the City of Literature clarify their language and be more specific about defining what it is exactly they are endorsing and what we're asking the public to understand in the library's role. Raeburn asked Santos Green if it would help if the letter used the legislation language, as it is the enabling act. Santos Green said it would be helpful if they clarified, defined, and explained that the legislation language is vague. Santos Green said consistent messaging is what our coalition is struggling to get across; just because someone grows up in a library does not mean they understand the language and terminology. Santos Green would like to see the term book banning replaced in the letter with book censorship practices to strengthen through clarification. Shultz asked if other organizations have endorsed the letter. Carman said John Kenyon is in the process of inviting support from other organizations. Shultz proposed taking a vote and suggesting a footnote be added with clarifying language. Santos Green said people don't read footnotes and felt it was worth doing it right, a rushed job is not the best job. Carman said he is happy to bring any feedback to John Kenyon. Rocklin said these are very helpful distinctions. Massa agreed the letter was vague. Massa said the letter is not preemptive as the legislation has passed and questioned the purpose of writing it now. Santos Green said it is to clarify the ambiguity and purposeful vagueness of the legislation, it is copycat legislation that has been passed by other states. Santos Green said when language is purposefully vague people fill it in with their own definition and nine times out of ten it is a more severe interpretation. Santos Green felt we could align ourselves with the law and also respond with what we know is best practice. Stevenson agreed and said the law passed but there were no guidelines or rules set forward by the Department of Education. Stevenson said that is not the purpose of the letter but felt it wouldn't hurt to have another voice speaking up in the absence of guidance. Massa noted paragraph three, "The legislation also bans written materials and instruction on gender identity and sexual orientation" and clarified that was for grades K-5. Santos Green said it was extended. Johnk said the rainbow at Twain Elementary school was painted over. Santos Green has asked for clarification on what the legislation looks like in terms of collection development and curriculum. Santos Green said the way it is worded right now you can't say "man and wife" at an elementary school because those are gendered roles. Johnk said the Iowa City School District is interpreting this as against anything that validates LGBTQIA. Rocklin said Trustees should give feedback to the City of Literature that Senate File 496 needs to be addressed accurately in the letter. Massa quoted the letter, "Senate File 496 prohibits books with written and visual depictions of sex acts from school libraries." Massa said when reading that sentence he felt parents might wonder what is your point? Santos Green disagreed. Stevenson appreciated this part of the letter as it gave an affirmative reason for the inclusion of age appropriate sexual education in literature. Santos Green said collection development is a targeted aspect of librarian training, people don't go into the profession choosing materials at random. Santos Green said the assumption this legislation is making is erasing expertise, erasing what has been there for many years, and erasing that people come to library with different experiences and needs. Santos Green said that parents have always had the right to say they aren't comfortable with their child checking something out, making sure those choices are honored and kept by families and not communities. The Librarians expertise is to purchase materials for all families. Massa said he was trying to get to a yes. Santos Green felt his feedback about the age range was valuable. Carman said if you read the legislation in isolation it sounds reasonable, using terms like sex acts is intentionally provocative. Carman said there are many people who haven't heard of this legislation and this letter might be the first exposure to it. Carman said we need to respond in a way that is easy to understand, intentional, and clear. Carman said he is on the UNESCO Board but was not on the subcommittee that wrote the letter. The committee was hoping for guidance from the State but felt back to school time was a good release time as parents will be experiencing the impacts of this now for If you will need disability -related accommodations in order to participate in this meeting, please contact Jen Miller, lowa City Public Library, at 3 79-887-6003 orj'ennifer-miller@tcpl.org. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time to meet your access needs. the first time. Carman said clarity on what the senate file really says is paramount to the credibility of the letter. Rocklin said there is nothing wrong with a non -unanimous vote on the Board, the Bylaws state Trustees operate on a majority vote. Stevenson said ICPL is not on the letterhead, the Library Board would just be endorsing it, there is value in saying Trustees support this concept. Rocklin suggested endorsing the letter and conveying to the City of Literature that they be more specific about redaction language and the scope of Senate File 496. Raeburn made a motion to approve endorsing the letter from Iowa City UNESCO City of Literature. Johnk seconded. Motion passed 6/1. Adjournment,, Rocklin adjourned the meeting at 5:22 pm.
