Iowa City Public Library Strategic Plan (FY24-FY26): 18 Month Report
January, 2025
We are one and a half years into a three-year strategic plan. As usual, our progress represents a balance of continuing
several long-term initiatives and meeting new community needs. At this point, some strategies have robust updates while
others will be addressed over the next eighteen months.
For this report, I am including the full strategic plan, in table form. New updates are highlighted with shading. New
additions to updates made in the last report (July 2024) are highlighted in bold.
Example:
Content from previous updates is in
non-shaded cells with no bolding.
New content is in shaded cells.
When previous content is updated with
new information, the cell is shaded and
the new information is in bold.

Connect people
with resources
offered by the
library and with
other essential
services within
the community
Prioritize historically
underserved people,
communities, and
neighborhoods when
developing new services
With support from the library staff, the ICPL English Conversation Group
resumed its weekly meetups in September 2023 after temporarily halting
physical meetings during the pandemic.
Leveraging a new programming partnership with the Iowa City Foreign
Relations Council, the library enhanced our offerings with events featuring
locally important topics. These include citizenship assistance for
immigrants in West Liberty and providing a platform for the personal
experiences and contributions of local Latinas.
An “All Abilities Club” was created to provide an inclusive, enjoyable
experience for people of all ages and abilities, including those who are
neurodivergent or have intellectual or developmental disabilities. The club
offers a relaxed, welcoming environment with smaller crowds, dimmer
lighting, and a casual atmosphere. This program is offered twice a month.
The library is currently assessing the feasibility of expanding library
services in the areas surrounding the South of Sixth Market. Our specific
focus is on improving Bookmobile access and exploring the potential for
new book return options.
Library staff established new, regular outreach programming at the
CommUnity Food Pantry at Pepperwood Plaza. Programs include
distribution of donated books, passive crafts, information about library
services, card registrations and renewal, reference services, and support
for library apps and digital offerings. Staff/patron interactions at these
programs increased by 77% between FY24 and FY25.

Library staff is actively working on a process to provide on-demand tours
of the main library, catering to both individuals and organizations.
In a collaborative effort, library staff successfully fulfilled the requirements
for the technology training PLA Digital Literacy Workshop Incentive.
Supported by AT&T, this grant enables us to conduct basic computer
skills classes in-house and at Melrose Meadows, with potential future
expansion. In FY24, instruction in Spanish was offered at Neighborhood
Centers and Emprendimiento Latino.
Promote City offerings and
incorporate the City’s
strategic initiatives in library
service design

program at the Landfill by inviting the public to donate books for self-
sorting, diverting usable books and other media from recycling for sale to
Thriftbooks for continued use with profits benefitting the ICPL Friends
Foundation.
Ensure that
diversity, equity,
and inclusion are

participants in the language(s) they write in. Library staff met with UIOWA
staff from the workshop as well as the University of Iowa Libraries to
discuss our needs and what the process could look like, determining that
they would ask authors to donate their books. This fall, we added
sixteen titles to our collection, mostly in Arabic and Chinese, two
languages that are difficult to obtain from US vendors.
Project planning for the World Languages collection commenced in Fall of
2024. Selection librarians reviewed community data and selected seven
languages to collect: Arabic, Chinese, French, Korean, Spanish, Swahili,
and Vietnamese. We wrote a plan for the collection’s development,
determined cataloging standards, and shifted items in the children’s room
and first floor spaces to ensure this collection is in a more visible and
accessible place.
Library staff worked with a University of Iowa student to analyze eBook
and audiobook use data from our digital provider to identify trends and
gaps in our collection. This data was reviewed to determine what works
well: what our patrons expect to find and how the budget was spent,
including experimenting with different purchasing models. Repurchasing
policies and workflows were updated based on balancing materials
budget and public use of materials with expiring digital licenses.

communications plan to the staff at the library’s annual Inservice Day in
December, 2023. The plan covered communication expectations and
responsibilities, outlined our tools and their purposes, and described the
future of document storage. Staff will review the plan in early 2024 and
provide feedback for revisions. In the second half of FY24, Committee
staff worked with individual departments, workgroups, and teams to
move over collaborative work, communication, and document storage
into the Microsoft Teams. A new intranet, which houses frequently
referenced documents, was developed and introduced to staff in the
fall of 2024.

Library Expenditures Q2, FY25 Update
Prepared for the January 23, 2025
Meeting of the Library Board of Trustees
Elsworth Carman, Library Director
The Q2 expenditure report is as expected for this point in the year. While some lines are
trending higher or lower than average, the overall balance is appropriate.
For this update I will briefly describe the spending associated with budget lines that are either over
75% spent or under 25% spent and have a line value (revised budget or expenditures) of $5,000 or
more (some lines are spent above or below those benchmarks but represent limited smaller
allocations of funds). The Library Materials lines are excluded from this list, since that budget is
intentionally allocated in a single budget category and spent through 16 distinct lines.
As asterisk (*) Indicates that a % used value and/or note is largely unchanged from the FY25 Quarter 1
Update (available at
https://www.icpl.org/sites/default/files/board_packets/LBOT%20packet%2010.24.2024.pdf).
A shaded row indicates that the % used value and note are similar to those in the FY24 Quarter 2
Update (available at

FY26 Budget Work Session
A City Council Budget Work Session was held on January 13th. The session included an introduction
and budget landscape overview from City Manager Geoff Fruin (video available here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lbReFVNOcU) and brief budget presentations from department
heads. I appreciated the opportunity to share a summary of the library’s structure and operations,
provide service highlights from FY24, identify upcoming challenges and opportunities, and discuss
our budget requests for FY26. Council members asked a few questions about the library, including
our response to social service needs and current support from the Friends Foundation.
HVAC Unit Replacement
On January 6, one of the library’s rooftop HVAC units was replaced. A compressor in the 22-year-old
unit failed in August, and after considering all repair and replacement options, we elected to replace
the unit (the new equipment uses new “new” cooling agent 134A). Installation required a crane
(pictures) and S. Linn Street was temporarily closed to accommodate the work (full street access was
available by the time the library opened). A wireless antenna was installed as part of the unit’s
communication system, and as remaining units are replaced (over the next several years), they will be
added to the new system. Brad Gehrke and his team did an exceptional job managing this project .

Leadership Team Retreat
The leadership team met at the Iowa City Airport for a two-day retreat on January 9th and 10th. Our
agenda included both action-based items (like prioritizing aspects of the FY26 CIP) and strategic
discussion (like library values and principles), and both days were full of productive conversation and
planning. This is the second year the leadership team has met offsite for a retreat and it is so
impactful to have time to work on large-scale projects and to connect outside of our regular work
environment. I am grateful to the Coordinators for the energy they brought to the retreat and
thankful to all library staff for keeping things running while we were away; I truly value that our
organizational culture supports this kind of intentional, collaborative work.
Initial Meeting with Parks and Recreation About Service Delivery
On January 14th, Brad Gehrke, Jason Paulios, and I met with Parks and Recreation leadership to talk
about our services for and with unhoused patrons. This initial meeting covered a comparison of
documented needs, current services, and ways related issues are documented, and it was really
interesting to learn more about how our services currently align. We also discussed ways that our
departments could collaborate in the future. We plan to bring the Senior Center and Transit into the
conversation and will be scheduling a larger discussion soon; I look forward to identifying ways we
can work together and exploring options for coordinating policies related to service delivery and
behavior management.
Updates to “Staff Contacts” Webpage
We recently made some updates to the “Staff Contacts” page on our website. Previously, this page
included pictures of eight of the members of the leadership team from various stages of our careers
and in an assortment of environments, and a summary of our educational and professional
backgrounds. We updated the pictures with current images, taken in the library; added the ninth
member of the leadership team; and removed the biographical information. The update makes our
contact information easier to find and is reflective of current trends in public library websites. The
webpage can be viewed at https://www.icpl.org/about/staff

Wintering Together
The core adult programming team—Beth, Candice, and Stacey—drew inspiration from Katherine May’s
book, Wintering, to create a series of events for January and February focused on mental health during
this isolating time of year. May wrote, “We must learn to invite the winter in. We may never choose to
winter, but we can choose how.” Following May’s guidance, they de signed various opportunities for
engagement, connection, and even celebration during these long, cold nights. Events include passive
programming like cozy reading with cocoa on Monday mornings, a book discussion centered around
May’s Wintering, as well as hands-on creative activities such as fiber arts hangouts, candle making, and
winter-inspired writing prompts. The advertising flyer has been well-received, and registration slots are
filling up quickly!
Event Feedback
Stacey received the following comments after promoting her second Book Club Matchmaking event
from early January:
“I was so pleased with the earlier event! I ended up in two separate book clubs, both of which
have met consistently, and I’m very happy. Thank you for planning and hosting - I’m very grateful
to ICPL and the surrounding community.”
“I attended the first book club event and am in a book club that has met once monthly since! It’s
been great to meet up and talk about the book and also get to know people in IC (I moved here
pretty recently). Just wanted to say thanks for hosting the first event and I hope the second one
goes well!”
“I’ve been meaning to email you and thank you for organizing the first event. I joined two
different book clubs from the event and they have each met at least twice so far! One of my
groups even did a puzzle exchange for the holidays. It was so nice to connect with other people
looking for similar things and I really appreciate you setting it all up! I’m
also so glad to hear you’re doing another session because I’ve had friends
wishing that they attended the first one, haha!”
This was a new program offering and it was gratifying to hear that the
goals of the program were met!

ICPL Inservice Day
On December 13, our staff participated in a dynamic and enriching Inservice day designed to
strengthen our understanding of trauma-sensitive services, ethics, and the evolving role of technology
in libraries. The day began with a session by Harmony Linden on “Trauma-Sensitive Services:
Enhancing Safety for Library Patrons and Staff,” where participants explored how to create supportive
environments for both patrons and staff. This was followed by a hands-on LEGO Serious Play
workshop with Sam Helmick, designed to foster collaboration and reflection. Jennie Garner, Director
of North Liberty Community Library, then led a session on “Building Trust through Candor and Crucial
Conversations,” drawing from the book Speed of Trust.
The afternoon session, “The Impact of AI: Ethics & Considerations for Libraries,” led by Dr. Brandy
McNeil, explored the ethical challenges and opportunities surrounding the use of AI, particularly tools
like ChatGPT, in libraries. Dr. McNeil’s presentation provided an overview of the evolving landscape of
technology and its implications for library services. I would like to extend my gratitude to Katie Roche
for her leadership as Chair, the Inservice Committee for their hard work in organizing this event, and
the Board of Trustees for their ongoing support of staff learning and professional development
opportunities. The knowledge gained at this year’s event will undoubtedly enhance the services we
provide and further our mission of supporting our community.

outreach, the marketing and PR staff recently toured a local business specializing in custom printing.
The tour provided valuable insights into the process of creating high-quality, specialized materials
that effectively capture the attention of our community. During the visit, staff learned about various
printing techniques, paper options, and design considerations, which will help elevate the library’s
promotional materials for events, programs, and initiatives. This hands-on experience not only
strengthened our understanding of the production process but also fostered a deeper collaboration
with local vendors, ensuring that future library outreach efforts are both visually appealing and
impactful.
Outreach
CommUnity outreach is going very well. Every time Hiedi Kuchta visits, she takes a selection of donated books
for people to browse and take, many giveaways to support our array of services for all ages, and passive
crafts/goodies (coloring sheets to take, pipe cleaner bracelets, temporary tattoos, koozies, pens, etc).
It is also an opportunity for folks to sign up for library cards and seek help with library apps or ask general
library questions.
Displays
The themes of the winter displays in the library reflect a variety of interests that resonate with current
community conversations and needs. For instance, the Cozy Mysteries display taps into the growing
desire for comfort and nostalgia, especially during the winter season. Cozy mysteries offer a warm,

escape-from-reality reading experience that aligns well with the Winter Wellness theme, which
highlights mindfulness and personal well-being. Similarly, the Foodie Fiction display speaks to the
community's passion for food culture, from chefs to restaurants, creating an inviting space for culinary
enthusiasts and fiction lovers alike.
On the other hand, the Nordic Noir display introduces a more intense genre, reflecting the growing
global interest in international crime fiction and Nordic culture. Meanwhile, the National Book Award:
Winners & Finalists shelf offers a platform for discussions on contemporary literature, celebrating
outstanding authors and fostering conversations about the importance of diverse storytelling.
Recently, the library automated the process by which to request a public display space. The public can
now apply for community display space on the Library website. Before, this process included a PDF file
that staff would email to individuals who had expressed interest. This update improves knowledge
and access to this service and created multiple efficiencies for staff.
ICPL Bookmobile
The ICPL Bookmobile has two new stops for its Winter/Spring 2025 schedule, expanding reach to the
Lone Tree Health Care Center and FeatherStone at Hickory Hill. These additions are part of the
library's ongoing efforts to bring services directly to more members of the community, ensuring
access to books, resources, and technology for all.
We will carefully track circulation, and door counts at these new stops in addition to the staff-side,
online tool for patron feedback. This system helps the team tailor collections to the specific interests
and needs of patrons by identifying popular materials and gathering heartwarming messages.
For example, one patron at Waterfront HyVee expressed, “Another
example of Iowa City’s finest, I’ll spread the word!” Another at
Community and Family Resources shared, “We really appreciate you
guys,” while a grateful visitor at recent Farmers Market exclaimed, “Thank
you for this service! May I take pictures to send to Taiwan to show how
this service should be provided?" These positive remarks are a testament
to the library's impact, as it continues to foster connections across our
community.

Review: FY25 Holiday Calendar. Rocklin noted the request to close early on February 20, 2025. Carman
said this would be an opportunity for training with other corridor library staff. The training begins with a
keynote presentation in the morning and breakout sessions in the afternoon for staff collaboration that
do similar work. Carman said the Iowa Library Association (ILA) conference is the only time these groups
regularly get together. Carman said there is cross-over in regional library work, and it would be nice to
get the different groups together. All participating libraries will contribute financially to the event and
Cedar Rapids Public Library will provide the facility. Carman said staff who attend the training will be
offsite all day and asked to close the library early at 6 pm so public service point shifts can be
consolidated. Rocklin asked how many staff members would attend. Carman said 20-23. Carman noted
ICPL is the only library in the corridor not closing for the day; Carman felt keeping some service in the
region available was important. Carman polled staff for their interest in attending the optional training
and there were a number who preferred to work at ICPL. Stevenson thought this was great and would
love to have a similar opportunity in his own profession. Carman said depending on how it goes he may
ask again next year. Raeburn asked if other libraries are closed for President’s Day and noted ICPL does
not. Mangano said it was an AFSCME change. The library used to have holiday hours on President’s Day
and when Juneteenth was adopted, they opted to not have them. Boothroy said regional collaboration
is a great idea and she liked the solution to keep the library open for part of the day. Boothroy shared
she supported it. Stevenson made a motion to approve the FY25 Holiday Calendar. Shultz seconded.
Motion passed 6/0.
Staff Reports.
Director’s Report. Carman shared InService Day was a positive and successful event. Carman thanked
the trustees who attended and noted staff did a great job staying engaged. Carman said it is a
meaningful opportunity to learn together.
Carman noted his report highlighted post-holiday tech help and mentioned that the library does tech
support all the time, and library staff are tremendously patient and knowledgeable in the Digital Media
Lab, and all service points.
Carman noted the Public Libraries of Johnson County Legislator Reception went well. The legislators
who came are supporters of libraries and were curious to learn more. Carman said it is always a good
experience to share library work being done and is good practice in engaging with legislators. Carman
shared next year it will be hosted by the Iowa City Public Library. Boothroy asked if legislators identified
any issues they anticipate coming up in regards to library services or libraries. Carman shared this was
discussed and there was assumption that some of the failed legislation from the last session will be
brought back. Carman said that tax reform is on everyone’s mind and the impact it will have on
municipal budgets, and then within that to libraries. Carman said the intersection of those dollars going
down and further legislation against library service will create a very different environment for library
services in Iowa.
Departmental Reports: Children’s Services. Pilkington thanked Johnk for a tote of trains and tracks,
and shared it was a big hit.
Collection Services. Mangano shared the Adventure Pass program is suspended and the State Library is
searching for an alternative reservation system. Rocklin asked if it is a selection question. Mangano
