Adopted: 01 /28/1982 Revised: 3/10/1992 Revised: 11 /21 /2002 Revised: 4/23/2015 Revised: 8/1982 Revised: 6/25/1992 Revised: 10/27/2005 Revised: 4/26/2018 Revised: 1 /23/1986 Revised: 11 /16/1995 Revised: 02/26/2009 Revised: 04/12/2021 Revised: 12/15/1988 Revised: 12/16/1999 Revised: 2/23/2012 Revised: 04/25/2024 706 Outreach and Bookmobile Policy Memo Proposal: A review of the Outreach and Bookmobile Policy to determine recommendations for the Iowa City Public Library Board of Trustees at the April 2024 meeting. Issues: As several ICPL Bookmobile events occur on the Iowa City Ped Mall, shifting the language to read "serves community members outside the Downtown Library" rather "away from the Downtown Library" in policy supports the spirit of the guidelines as well as current practices. The ICPL Bookmobile is a service point with dedicated staff, noting that, "as space and time permits, Bookmobile patrons are provided with the same level of service as one would find at the main Library facility," rather than "dependent on Library resources available" solidifies the role the ICPL Bookmobile plays in providing an array of access, community building, and programming as outline in our strategic planning and notes the investment made to procure and maintain dedicated staff to meet outreach and bookmobile goals. Often Bookmobile stops are tweaked by day of week or time of day to increase access and use. Noting that practice may include altering the schedule and/or removing stops from the schedule depicts the fuller picture of schedule development and commitment to partners. Matching the programming policy's language on co-sponsorship and collaborative decisions helps to keep policy, practice, and procedure consistence inside and outside of the Iowa City Public Library. Staff Recommendations: 706.1 Replace "away from" to "outside". Add additional goals to include "expand awareness of library services to the greater community, and to develop strategic partnerships with community organizations." 706.2 Strike out as the sentiment of this line is repeated in line 706.71 "As time permits, Bookmobile patrons are provided with the same level of services as one would find at the main Library facility." 706.4 Flipped sentence structure for clarity. 706.7 Add "day and time" under consideration. 706.65 Add programming policy language for internal and external consistency. 707.75 Combined sentences for clarity. Staff recommend to review and adopt the current policy with the above changes. Action: Review and adopt as recommended. Prepared by: 706 Policy Review Committee, Shawna Riggins and Sam Helmick 706 Outreach and Bookmobile Policy See also related policy: 601 Collection Development, 700 Community Relations, 809 Library Use Fill.-W 706.23 706.34 706.45 706.56 The purpose of the Outreach and Bookmobile Policy is to provide guidelines for how the Library serves community members away from outside the Downtown Library and to provide access where life and engagement organically exist in the community. The goals of outreach services, including the Bookmobile, isare to extend the Library to members of our community who are unserved or underserved due to physical, economic, social, transportation, geographic, or other barriers, expand awareness of library services to the greater community, and to develop strategic partnerships with community organizations. Outreach includes delivering collections and programs at sites outside the Downtown building. It includes participating in events that inform people about what the Library offers and encourages Library use. It also includes regular Bookmobile stops to enhance access to the Iowa City Public Library collection. The Library maintains collections of materials at community sites for people whe are Unable tE) aEEess the Downtown Library. Collections include materials checked out from the Library and other items gifted to the Library or withdrawn from the collection. Library staff visit regularly and select materials based on indicated preferences of off -site patrons and established collection development guidelines to deposit regularly. Outreach programs are delivered with an emphasis on reaching children in schools and daycares and adults in group settings. The Library provides Proxy Library services for people who are unable to personally visit the Library. This includes services to inmates at the Johnson County Jail, patrons enrolled in tile Library's At Home Services, and those unable to come to the Library because of a legal 706.561 706.562 706.6-7 706.671 706.672 706.673 706.674 706.65 706.6675 restriction. Services for inmates at the Johnson County Jail are governed by contract with the Johnson County Sheriff's Office. Patron permission for saving confidential personal data is required for At Home Services. The Iowa City Public Library's Bookmobile offers collections and programs beyond the Downtown area and extends Library services throughout the community. As space and time permits, Bookmobile patrons are provided with the same level of service as one would find at the main Library facility. Bookmobile stops must be located within the service area of Iowa City Public Library unless under contract for special services. A Memorandum of Understanding will be created for all community Bookmobile stops. Bookmobile stop locations should have a sufficient amount of engagements in terms of Library transactions and number of customers served. If evaluation shows on -going service levels are not sufficient, change of stop location, day, and time will be considered. Bookmobile co-sponsorship and collaboration decisions are made on the basis of mutual needs and equitable benefits between the Library and potential partners, as well as available library resources. Bookmobile services and programs are designed to be informative learning opportunities, not a vehicle for commercial ventures. Bookmobile service may be canceled or modified on short notice due to severe weather or mechanical problems requiring immediate attention. 706.78 706.89 706.940 706.1014 Library staff will regularly participate in community -wide events. Resources dedicated to the event, including presence of the Bookmobile, will be considered on a case -by -case basis as resources are available. Staff will only participate in events that are free and open to the public. Whenever possible the Library will visit local schools to foster a love of reading and encourage Library use. The Library recognizes work with community partners is essential for providing effective outreach services. Regular communication will be maintained with community partners and goals for service will be routinely reviewed. Partnerships that are not mutually beneficial to all parties will be modified or discontinued. The role of the Iowa City Public Library is to ensure a safe and secure environment at the Downtown facility, the Bookmobile, and at outreach opportunities in accordance with y staff support an atFne5phere EE)ndUEive to welEerne aEEess through behavior guidelines established the Library Use policy. Adopted: 02/22/2018 Revised:04/22/2021 Revised:4/25/2024 Library Expenditures Q3, FY24 Update Prepared for the April 25, 2024 Meeting of the Library Board of Trustees Elsworth Carman, Library Director The Q3 expenditure report is largely 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 90% spent or under 60% 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 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. The Personnel lines are also excluded from this list, since they are managed differently than the general expense lines.

ICPL recognizes this week internally and with the public. This year, we submitted a National Library Week proclamation to the City that was endorsed by Mayor Bruce Teague at the April 2 City Council meeting (Public Relations Specialist Manny Galvez accepted the proclamation). I find special significance in National Library Workers Day (Tuesday, April 9); ICPL has an amazing staff of talented, curious, and mission - focused people and while we celebrate this every day, it's fun to have another reason to recognize the work being done through ICPL. Budget Approval and Trustee Appointment At the April 16 City Council meeting, the Council adopted the City of Iowa City FY25 budget. This is an important step in the budget process and gives us good context for the FY25 NOBU budget, which we will bring to the board in June. Additionally, a new trustee was appointed at this meeting; Bonnie Boothroy will be joining the board following an orientation. FY25 Contracting Cities Questionnaire The State Library of Iowa requests an updated contracting city report annually. We submitted the FY25 document earlier this month (attached). ICPL offers service to Hills, University Heights, Lone Tree, and Rural Johnson County. This report excludes governmental agencies, so Rural Johnson County is not included. CIP Update We continue to work on the Board Room and Meeting Room E refresh. A new board room table has been ordered, and we are preparing for technology installs in both rooms. There have been a few delays due to vendor and product availability, but we anticipate both rooms being completed soon. Since much of this refresh is technology -based, the rooms will not look significantly different when they are finished, but the functionality will be improved in a number of ways. IT, Facilities, Admin, and Adult Services staff have done a great job navigating this undertaking and have contributed to all stages of the work. FY25 Enrich Iowa Agreement The State Library of Iowa sends an Enrich Iowa agreement to Iowa public libraries annually. This agreement confirms the library's intention of participating in the Enrich Iowa program. ICPL has historically participated fully in Enrich Iowa, which includes receiving Direct State Aid and participating in Open Access and Interlibrary Loan Reimbursement. We submitted the FY25 contract earlier this month (copy attached). The State Library provides definitions of all parts of Enrich Iowa on its website (https://www.statelibraryofiowa.gov/index.php/libraries/funding-grants/enrich-iowa/enrich-iowa-faq), as follows. Direct State Aid: Direct State Aid provides financial support to public libraries from State of Iowa funds. It is carefully designed to: • Improve public library service in Iowa by providing incentives • Reduce inequities in access to information for Iowa residents • Ensure local discretion in the use of resources • Enhance, not replace local funding • Include recognized and adopted library standards with graduated payment levels Open Access: Open Access provides Iowans with direct access to more library materials and information resources. Open Access is a lending program that enables eligible Iowans to visit participating libraries and directly check out library materials. As a result, Iowans have greater access to more library resources, more choices in library service, and the convenience of using a library where they work, shop or visit. Interlibrary Loan Reimbursement: Interlibrary Loan Reimbursement provides Iowa citizens with equal access to library resources by encouraging and supporting interlibrary loan among all types of libraries. Interlibrary Loan Reimbursement is a book -sharing subsidy program that gives Iowans equal access to library resources by supporting library resource sharing. Participating libraries agree to loan their materials to other libraries for use by their customers. Leave Update I anticipate being away from the library beginning Wednesday, April 24 through Wednesday, May 22. Anne Mangano will be acting director while I am gone, with Brent Palmer serving as backup. We have created a plan for both expected responsibilities and unexpected events, and established how to communicate as needed during my absence. Huge thanks to Anne and Brent for their willingness to take on extra duties and to the full leadership team for managing related changes to our shared work during this time. City of Iowa City cog PROCLAMATION '{ Whereas, libraries serve as vital hubs for connection, learning, and exploration and area dedicated to ensuring equitable access to information and services for all community members, regardless of race, ethnicity, creed, ability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or socio-economic status; and Whereas, libraries prioritize privacy, defend the right to read freely, champion intellectual freedom, and serve as cornerstones of democracy, promoting the free exchange of information and ideas for all; and Whereas, libraries are accessible and inclusive places that promote a sense of local connection, advancing understanding, civic engagement, and shared community goals while preserving our collective heritage and knowledge, safeguarding both physical and digital resources for present and future generations; and Whereas, libraries play a pivotal role in economic development by providing resources and support for job seekers, entrepreneurs, and small businesses, thus contributing to local prosperity and growth; and Whereas, Iowa City Public Library is a center of community life that connects people of all ages with information, engages them with the world of ideas and with each other, and enriches the community by supporting learning, promoting literacy, and encouraging creativity; and Whereas, an Iowan authored the Library Bill of Rights, Iowa has more public libraries per capita than any other state in the nation, and over 74% of Iowans own at least one library card; and Whereas, libraries, librarians, and library workers are joining library supporters and advocates across the nation to celebrate National Library Week. Now, Therefore, I, Bruce Teague, Mayor of Iowa City, do hereby proclaim April 7-13, 2024 to be National Library Week and encourage all residents to visit the Iowa City Public Library and celebrate the access and opportunities provided by ICPL services and programming. yor i Signed in Iowa City, l0a this 2nd day of April 2024.4' Contracting Cities Questionnaire FY25 auly 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025) WA.

We were also provided a solar telescope by the University of Iowa Astronomy Department to use outside on the ped mall during the eclipse. We welcomed Cali Leng, Ava Bayless, and Anayka Besco of the trailblazing University of Iowa women's wrestling team for a very special storytime. They shared books about wrestling and the audience (many of whom sported Iowa gear for this event) joined in with songs, rhymes, and a fun flannel board guessing game. Totally Tweens: Play -Doh Lab was a success! In partnership with Iowa City Climate Action & Outreach, staff assisted tweens to created homemade, custom play -doh using Kool-Aid for color and scent. The cooktops heated the play -doh ingredients quickly but were much safer for tweens to use because they heat the bottom of the cookware only, not giving any heat off the unit itself. Outreach As school ends for the year, the outreach work that our Children's Librarian, Casey Maynard, and Early Literacy Assistant, Fang Wang, do weekly at our area preschools and daycares should be noted. Each week they see multiple classes at nearly 20 different schools for a total of 5,890 students last year at 323 sites. If you have been around long enough, this number may seem lower than in past years. As part of moving children's staff into the Bookmobile rotation, two staff members, Mari and Miriam now do their outreach storytimes with the Bookmobile. They visited another 73 classrooms and 1,480 students last year. Taking the library on the road to these students is important work- sometimes it is the only interaction these students will ever have with the library. In addition to preschool and daycare visits, we also make stops at larger, school wide, literacy, STEM, art or fun family nights. Recently, Fang went to Horn Elementary' s STEM night to do a science activity and talk about all the wonderful offerings we have in the children's room of the library. Next month, the Children's staff will visit as many of the elementary schools as we can to talk about the importance of reading over the summer and encouraging students to join our summer reading program. Collection Services Department Report Prepared for the April 25, 2024 Meeting of the Library Board of Trustees Anne Mangano, Collection Services Coordinator State Library Training Last month, Collection Services Librarian Melody Dworak participated on a panel of collection development experts that discussed best practices for a State Library of Iowa online training series. The series, Buy (Better) Books: A Collection Development Primer, explored different aspects of developing and maintaining a public library collection. The four- part series was designed to help librarians improve their collection development skills. Melody discussed how purchasing decisions are made, what review sources we follow, and constraints in selecting eBooks and audiobooks. Librarians from public libraries in Ankeny, Cedar Rapids, Des Moines, North Liberty, and Scott County also sat on the panel discussion. We are pleased to share our knowledge and expertise with our colleagues and learn from their experiences. _ Buy (Better) Books: A Collection Development Primer. Part 4: Practitioner Panel. March 26. Online. 11:OOAM-12:30PM Tuesday March 26 is the fourth and final installment of this series, this time with a panel of librarians who have "Collection Development' in their job title. For so many library staff, collection development is one of many hats to wear. These specialists will show you how they save time and money purchasing books everyday for their libraries. They know the ins and outs of finding the best books and will share their secrets with you Buy (Better) Books is a four-part series from the State Library designed to help you improve your collection development skills. We'll dig into best practices for purchasing for all parts of the adult collection and then promoting your awesome finds. We'll also hear tips and tricks from front-line, in -practice collection development professionals Come to one part or all parts ... each session will be recorded. Urban Libraries Council's Collection Development Summit On Friday, April 5, 2024,1 had the privilege to attend the Urban Libraries Council's Collection Development Summitat the Columbus Metropolitan Library as part of the Public Library Association Conference. Over sixty collection development managers and librarians from across the country attended the event. It was an open discussion of some of the most pressing issues in collection development. We focused on three issues: • Balancing the push and pull of digital and physical collection needs • Developing world languages collections • The changing reality of audiovisual collections All three of these topics directly relate to our current work in Collection Services and tied to key objectives in our strategic plan. I was excited to hear what my peers are doing in these areas. While no public library in the room solved the issue of meeting the demand for digital collections while maintaining a robust print offering or finding reliable world languages vendors, I did come away with the understanding that we all facing the same issues and using some of the same tactics. We are all trying to think creatively and efficiently while facing limited resources and significant obstacles. The most important takeaway I had from the summit is that there is an opportunity here to collaborate, share, and advocate on these issues together. IT Department Report Prepared for the April 25, 2024 Meeting of the Library Board of Trustees Brent Palmer, IT Coordinator Children's Room Technology The technology offered in the Ellen Buchanan Children's Room has continued to evolve since I last reported on it two years ago. At that time, we had just replaced the iPads with new devices but the interest in using iPads never really recovered from COVID. Recently, we found that we were spending way more time keeping them updated than they were even getting used. The Children's Department decided to transform their popular paper -based scavenger hunt by reimagining it using these tablets. In the scavenger hunt, there are a number of related pictures hidden around the Ellen Buchanan Children's Room. When all the images have been found the hunters can come to the desk to claim a small prize. The task of implementing this project was assigned to our web intern and she did a great job working with the Children's Department to make their vision a reality. The app includes a management area where the Children's staff can swap out the scavenger hunt or create new ones. You can get an idea of what it looks like by visiting this link: https://www.icpl.org/services/kids/scavenger-hunt. This turned out to be a great project for our web intern, a way to reduce paper usage and the kids really seem to enjoy it. The Ellen Buchanan Children's Room provides four early learning stations for patron younger than five which have games and activities without access to the Internet. We are transitioning these stations to a new content provider called Magic Desktop that will provide some savings. The workstations themselves are also being replaced with larger screens and more stable bases. Digital Media Lab Technology The DML team continues to innovate, looking for the right mix of equipment and services that will be popular with patrons. The Cricut (computer -controlled cutting machine) has been popular enough that we purchased a second one. There have been several requests to add AutoCAD (2D and 3D design software) to the software options. Like Adobe Creative Cloud, AutoCAD is a popular software that students often have access to in school but can be difficult to afford an ongoing subscription to after they graduate. And it can be helpful to gain experience with it while job hunting. Digitizing content from older media types also continues to be popular. We purchased an extra Elgato (used for digitizing VHS or cassette audio tapes), and added devices for digitizing Mini DV and 8mm film. The number of each type of equipment is limited and because digitizing media can be time consuming, it is frustrating to come in for a project and find the equipment in use for an extended period. So, the DML folks teamed up with our web specialist to create a reservation system on our website. The lightweight portable photo scanners were not really used so they have been retired. The DML team keeps a notebook of examples of projects that patrons have done and help that was provided. I've pulled out a few of those along with some anecdotes from staff just to give you some examples of ways that patrons have used the DML. Quote from a patron excited about AutoCAD: Dear Stacey, thank you for this wonderful news, you made my whole week! I'm very excited, this makes a big difference in my workflow as a studio artist. 1 just shared the news with a friend freelancing in design who is also thrilled. Thank you so much for your help! I will gladly keep in touch and share progress on projects, and I'm also happy to offer demos or workshops if you or other folks are interested in skill sharing/learning to use the software, let me know! A patron used the Cricut to make shirts for her sister who coaches a youth hockey league after seeing someone with this on a t-shirt online. The t-shirts say "I just hope both teams have fun". Staff helped a woman who was preparing a slideshow with photos and videos for the 10-year reunion of the Great Climate March. A woman digitized cassette tapes with recordings of her asking her (now deceased) father about his childhood memories from decades ago. Someone was excited we have the new DV deck so he could see the Mini DV home videos of his kids from about 20 years ago. There are a few people that have spent hours (and hours!) with the 8mm converter doing old family videos that some of them had never seen before. One was going to get her aunt to name the people before that knowledge is lost. A person received help on building a website for a small business in WIX, creating a custom domain name. One of our regular patrons who composes heavy metal music has been working through his catalog, digitizing his cassette tapes, splitting the tracks using software, uploading them onto Bandcamp, burning CD copies and creating digital cover art (most recently he's been trying Al image generators).

The Dal*ly Iowan THE INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA COMMUNITY SINCE 1868 Christina Bohannan hosts roundtable discussion on abortion rights and health care access Isabelle Foland. News Editor- https://dailyiowan.com/2024/03/26/christina-bohannan-hosts- roundtable-discussion-on-abortion-rights-and-health-care-access/ -ch 26. 202» `wtt� Cody BIIssett Former Iowa State Representative Christina Bohannan speaks at the Iowa City Puolic Library on Tuesday. March 26.2024. Bohannan spoke on Iowa's reproductive health care and answered questions from attendees. Christina Bohannan, a Democratic congressional candidate and law professor at the University of Iowa, held a round table at the Iowa City Public Library on Tuesday to discuss abortion rights and health care access in the state. Specifically, the discussion centered around laws and proposed legislation in Iowa that would limit portion rights, in vitro fertilization, and -cess to birth control and contraceptives. Around 10 people were in attendance at the round table and shared their personal experiences and thoughts on the state of abortion rights in Iowa. Bohannan is the sole Democrat running for Iowa's 1 st Congressional District, and she will likely face off against Incumbent U.S. Rep. Mariannette Miller -Meeks, R-Iowa, who currently holds the district's seat. The general election is on Nov. 5. At the round table, Bohannan said she wanted to gather the experiences and opinions of her constituents on the topic of reproductive health care in Iowa. Recently, the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that embryos are granted personhood status, which has sparked debate among federal lawmakers about protecting the right to access in vitro fertilization treatment. The Alabama ruling would mean that embryos that are destroyed in a fertility clinic would be considered a crime. However, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey has since signed a bill that protects IVF clinics from legal liability. A bill was introduced by Iowa House Republicans in early March that would increase penalties for killing an "unborn person," which Democrats said could impact in vitro fertilization in a similar way to the Alabama ruling. This bill was later killed in the Iowa Senate. Bohannan said the laws being passed in the state, such as Iowa's six -week abortion law, that limit access to reproductive health care may play a role in this shortage. "The thing is that bringing that idea in and passing any one of these laws then makes it more difficult for us to recruit and retain highly -qualified OB-GYN providers," Bohannan said. "The whole irony of this is that women who really want to have children are going to be at risk for these kinds of emergencies." Another topic mentioned was Iowa's lack of OB-GYN doctors in the state and the negative impacts this could have on reproductive care. According to a 2022 report from the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology in the state of Iowa, the state has the lowest number of OB-GYN specialists per capita in the country. Amy Sparks, the director of the UI's in vitro fertilization and reproductive testing laboratories, attended the event and said accidentally destroying or damaging an embryo is somewhat common in fertility clinics because of how fragile they are. Sparks said the recent proposed Iowa bill surrounding penalties for killing an "unborn person" still is concerning despite it not passing because of what it could mean for the future of in vitro fertilization treatment in the state. "Infertility is bipartisan. A lot of people are affected, unfortunately," Sparks said. "I hope that we continue to have access to build families [and] to all aspects of reproductive rights." Another attendee was Allison Bierman, who works as an admissions counselor for the UI's School of Music. Bierman shared her experiences with in vitro fertilization, which she has been undergoing since 2017 to have a child. As part of her journey with this treatment, Bierman said she had to have a medical abortion for her health and safety as a result of complications with her pregnancy. Bierman said the overturning of Roe v. Wade in June 2022 scared her and the health care professionals she has seen as a part of this journey because of the impact it can have on pregnant individuals who need abortions to survive complications from being pregnant. "I feel like, for me, the scariest part is when the people who you're supposed to rely on — your health care professionals — are just as scared as you are, you don't feel like they can be your support system. They feel just as lost as you," Bierman said. According to a March 2023 poll from the Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll, 61 percent of adults in Iowa believe abortion should be legal in all or most situations, and 35 percent believe abortions should be illegal in most or all situations.

IOWA CITY 319,338.1332 • WILLOWANDSTOCK.COM LITTL C VILL ZLQ@F� `This is our leggy': ICPL hosts banned book giveaway as attacks on books and libraries continue By Paul Brennan I March 22, 2024 https://Iittlevillagemag.com/icpl-hosts-banned-book-giveaway-as-attacks-on-books-and-libraries- continue/ Update: The pop-up event at ICPL on Saturday was postponed due to a winter weather advisory. The new event date has yet to be announced. The Banned Wagon is coming to the Iowa City Public Library (ICPL) on Saturday, as the library hosts a pop-up event where Annie's Foundation will be giving away free copies of books that have been banned from school and public libraries around the country. "They specifically do this at schools and in communities that have been impacted by adverse legislation, which we've had quite a bit of in the last year," Sam Helmick, ICPL's community and access services coordinator, told Little Village. The two-hour event, which starts at noon on Saturday, will be on the Ped Mall in front of the library. In addition to the banned book giveaway, the ICPL Bookmobile will be there to help people sign up for library cards and check out (and checkout) ICPL books. There will also be crafts, as well as the chance to talk with members of Annie's Foundation and Students for Human Rights at Iowa (SHRAI) about the freedom to read and other intellectual freedom issues. Annie's Foundation, a Johnston -based nonprofit, formed in 2022 to oppose the growing efforts to ban books and otherwise restrict intellectual freedom in Iowa. It's named in honor of the late Ann Lohry Smith, an Ankeny parent "who inspired other parents and community members with her fierce defense of public education," the foundation explains on its site. Last year saw a massive surge in attempts to ban books in schools and public libraries around the country, as "number of titles targeted for censorship surged 65 percent in 2023 compared to 2022, reaching the highest levels ever documented by the American Library Association (ALA)," according to a report the ALA published last week. The report identifies 1,247 demands to ban 4,240 different titles in 2023. It also breaks down ban attempts by state. Iowa had more titles targeted than any of its neighboring states, except Wisconsin. With 259 titles targeted by people who wanted them removed, Iowa ranked number seven on the ALA list of states with the most censorship attempts in 2023. Iowa could have ranked even higher if SF 496, which Gov. Reynolds signed into law last May, had been allowed to go into effect. The bill contained provisions requiring public school districts to remove all books with "descriptions or visual depictions of a sex act" except for approved science or health class text. Supporters of the bill in the Iowa Legislature — only Republican lawmakers voted in favor of it — made it clear the books they wanted removed were ones with LGBTQ characters or themes, but needed to craft the ban more broadly in order to try to avoid having it struck down as unconstitutional. But the broad language of the bill, and the refusal of the Iowa Department of Education to provide guidance on how districts were to implement the book ban, led to confusion and sweeping book removals. The Iowa City Community School District (ICCSD), for example, ended up temporarily removing 68 books, including landmark works of literature (Ulysses by James Joyce), literature so embedded in contemporary culture that everyone knows its name (The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood) and an essential work by Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison, The Bluest Eye. It also resulted in the removal of nonfiction works of history (The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II, Iris Chang's widely praised study of the atrocities — including massacres and mass rapes conducted by the Japanese Imperial Army after its 1937 invasion of Nanjing), as well as Not that Bad: Dispatches from Rape Culture, a collection of essays on the harassment and violence women face, edited by Roxane Gay, a leading American essayist. 1 • -i _01 r • � OANGERpv ra J i Beaverdale Books (2629 Beaver Ave # Sl, Des Moines) owner Hunter G m sits next to a table of banned books on Gc 4, 2023. The Des Moines book shop hosts an annual Banned Book Festival.— Isaac Hamlet/Little Village On Nov. 28, the ACLU of Iowa and Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund filed a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of SF 496 — which also contained other measures aimed to LGBTQ students — on behalf of seven students and Iowa Safe Schools. Two days later, attorneys representing the Iowa State Education Association and Penguin Random House filed another lawsuit in federal court challenging SF 496's book ban. The cases were combined, and on Dec. 29, Judge Stephen Locher issued a temporary injunction stopping the enforcement of SF 496. ICCSD and other districts returned the books they removed to library shelves after the injunction was issued. But requests from the public to ban books — either from people acting on their own, or generated by rightwing groups like Moms for Liberty — go beyond targeting titles with LGBTQ material, and often include books addressing the lives and experiences of people of color, and examine American culture and history in ways people who rely on conservative media for information don't approve of. And this year, the Republican majority in the Iowa Legislature turned its attention from books to libraries. "This year they're going after public libraries' funding," Helmick said. "They tried to eliminate all codified funding for public libraries, and take the control of libraries away from library boards, who are appointed by their mayors and councils." "If you don't have to fund libraries, if that funding is no longer codified, there are small and rural libraries that would have closed as they have to make tough decisions amid economic hardships," they explained. "And if you no longer permit your library boards to serve as the governing stewards of public libraries, you double the workload of a city council. You lose credentials and specialized -focus that is necessary to meet accreditation standards by the State Library." "Board members have to go through training for everything for intellectual freedom to collection development to First Amendment law. Councilors would have to take on that work and that legal liability without any extra resources." Helmick traveled to Des Moines to testify against the bills aimed at libraries, and they weren't alone. After the Iowa Library Association and groups like Annie's Foundation raised pubic awareness of the bill, there was strong pushback from the public. "Iowans love their libraries," Helmick said. "Seventy-four percent of Iowans have at least one library card. We have more public libraries per capita than any other state in the nation." And despite recent actions by the legislature, Iowa also has a long tradition of defending the right to read freely, Helmick pointed out. The Library Bill of Rights adopted by the American Library Association in 1939 was drafted by Des Moines Public Libraries Director Forest Spaulding. "This is our legacy," Helmick said. The pushback was successful. The bills targeting libraries died without ever getting floor votes in the House or Senate. But Helmick feels certain the bills like those will be introduced again. Beyond culture war imperatives, there are companies who see a library's loss of funding or independence as a chance at financial gain. "There's money to be made privatizing access to information and opportunity, which is what libraries provide," Helmick said. ICPL is hoping for good turnout on Saturday for the Banned Wagon, but there are ways to support the library and the freedom to read beyond the pop-up event on the Ped Mall. "The best way to advocate for your library is to use it," Helmick said. "I encourage everyone to get a card and use it today." NAUTILUS Viva la Library! Rebel against The Algorithm. Get a library card. Charles Diggsl April 8, 2024 ❑e've all been there. In fact, I find myself there several times a day. A question emerges and my memory stumbles. Decades of education dematerialize into an expensive mist. I know I know this, or at least I should. I reach for my phone and type: Who painted that corner diner at night with those lonely looking people sitting inside? But what if it hadn't been so simple? What if —instead of having my screen cluttered instantly with infinite reproductions of Edward Hopper's Nighthawks —I was forced to live in a period of contemplation? Of not knowing? Might that have generated a spark of curiosity? If so, I might have found my way to the library. And while there, I might have stumbled on a good deal more about Nighthawks and its enigmatic portrayal of urban loneliness —as, once upon a time, as a Midwestern kid longing for a life in the big city, I did within the stacks at the Iowa City Public Library. There, I followed the streets of Hopper's metropolis to the stories of John Cheever and Ralph Ellison, their characters often under the spell of Duke Ellington and Dizzy Gillespie, whose records I checked out. I could step backward, too, following Hopper's urban themes to Degas and Manet—their gamines encountered with the longing felt in the pages of Proust. Libraries might be our last bulwark against the digital degradation of life and learning. Or I could fast forward through time, following the throughline of Hopper's influence on another painter, George Tooker, who focused a paranoid gaze on waiting rooms and subway platforms to paint a bureaucratized modern dystopia. From there, it was a short trip to Zamyatin's We or Orwell's 1984. In the library, with its faint arboreal scent of binding glue, I was able to have my first encounters with a life beyond the prairies. When I Google Nighthawks now, the Image Search feature of Google brings me first to advertisements for Amazon -peddled reproductions of the painting —some of them washed out and pale, others featuring the cast of Star Wars in place of Hopper's anonymous figures —all of them available for about $11.95. The internet, writ large, is now a universal medium. In the beginning, we were told the digital sphere would bring us together to share information and expand our perspectives, and now, there's hardly a corner of our lives that it hasn't touched. It governs nearly every aspect of how we read, learn, and connect to the larger world. SHTHAWKS: Author Charles L�igges learned about the rich culture that surrounds Edward Hopper's timeless painting at the library. To Google the rting, he found, is to desecrate iL Credit. Wikimedia Commons. But while few parts of the world remain outside its reach, the internet leaves little room for discovery. Our curiosities in the digital environment are not so much sparked as they are confirmed. The system is designed to say "yes" to us, not challenge us. Over time, even the questions we ask begin to take on the smooth, antiseptic quality it was designed to reward. Digitalization has driven us further into ourselves and sects of the like-minded. As they have done time and again, libraries have adapted to these technological changes. But they have also managed to maintain their value as places where learning is interpersonal and social. Libraries might be our last bulwark against the digital degradation of life and learning. When Google Search went live in 1998, so awesome was its reach that many thought it could herald the end of libraries as we knew them. There would be no more slogging through infinite stacks or grazing back periodicals to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius or to establish whether the philosophies of Levinas and Kierkegaard are compatible. Finding out how long it takes an eyelash to regrow, or how to build a doghouse, would become just a matter of asking the search bar. On offer was nothing short of the universal library, a revival of the Library of Alexandria that was envisioned as a model of the universe itself, an infinitely growing compendium of answers to every question, accessible to all. But at Google's heart was a Faustian bargain. Access to a bottomless well of knowledge would come at the cost of us becoming a thinly anonymized data point, the contents of our searches surveilled and transformed into rocket fuel for Google's online advertising empire. The longer we linger online and follow links, the more monetizable breadcrumbs we leave, and the more eerily personal the advertisements become. Each day, Google processes 8.5 billon queries, slightly more than one for every person on Earth. How it makes sense of such volume is, of course, a closely guarded secret —a black box that is nearly impossible to crack. But in its early iterations, the fundamentals of Google's algorithm were not so dissimilar from the practices of librarians. In the late 1990s, during the Web's infancy, Google had plenty of competition from the likes of Lycos, Yahoo, and Altavista, whose searches were guided by typing in keywords. The results were middling. Google broke through the stagnation with its PageRank algorithm, which counted and indexed the number of high - quality links leading to any page. Tennis enthusiasts get clickable tennis content, cat lovers get feline content, wingnuts get wingnut content. Rather than using keyword matches, PageRank supposed that the best results would be websites that are linked to by many other high -quality websites (their quality, likewise, determined by the number of pages linked to them, and so on). This is borrowed from bibliometrics, the science librarians use to evaluate the penetration of academic papers based on how often they are referred to by other scholars. A librarian's eye is enough to establish that the papers an academic cites aren't gibberish. PageRank couldn't make that distinction. But newer search functions that Google has reportedly incorporated over the past few years, can. Among these is MUM (short for Multitask Unified Model), a machine -learning Search tweak introduced in 2021. With MUM's help, Search can discern how words and concepts relate to one another and detect nuanced meaning and associations in queries, as well as take past search behavior into account. That's, essentially, how searching for "lonely people in a diner" led me to Edward Hopper. For all that transformative technology, lately something about Search feels off. Billions of queries seem to be returning more and more homogenous results cluttered with links to e-commerce sites and prioritizing texts that read like they have been written by robots. As more and more people click on similar things, they reinforce the circularity. In 2021, the same year MUM premiered, the question, "Has Google Search Become Qualitatively Worse?" was posed on a thread at Hacker News. "The results keep getting 'refined' so as to suit the popular 80 percent of queries, while getting much worse for any technical or obscure queries," responded a commentor with the handle "vgeek." Xe laso, a programmer and tech blogger from Ottawa, Canada who has long observed Google's evolving algorithm, blames much of the change on the industry of search engine optimization, a global network of consultancy agencies that help their clients improve their visibility on Google. At one time, many people created websites to share their expert knowledge about, say, radishes, and to "express themselves in new and interesting ways," laso writes. But the advent of online advertising —being able to place small ads on your site —changed web creators' incentives. "Now, instead of just making money selling radishes and radish consumption accessories, you could make money by people viewing your website about radishes." Soon enough, the professional prognosticators stepped in. For the right price, they could help you design web pages that appear higher in the results that Google returns on a search. The consultants sell you all manner of tricks to draw people to your site so you can cash in on clickable ads. (You get a percent of the sales.) Strategies include incorporating links from other sites and soliciting sites to host your links. As the editor of a website myself, I am constantly barraged by search optimizers asking me to embed links to their material in what I publish. (I never do.) Because of slick optimization, more obscure, non -optimized content gets driven down further in search results or gets skipped altogether. The optimization industry, laso told me, has turned the Web into an "inhuman Skinner box," where people thoughtlessly click from one titillating link to another. w Y , THE GRANDEUR: Te feel the romance and inspiration of reactu 6 and research, leave the computer behind and enter the magical atmuspt,t�te ul TI Rul a, RL)cn! at the New York Public Library- Photo by' trav&vieiv'Shutterstock. In a 2024 paper, a group of German researchers concluded that "a torrent of low -quality content ... keeps drowning any kind of useful information in search results" on all search engines, not only on Google. Over the course of a year, the researchers entered some 7,400 product review searches, and found that results containing "affiliated links" —or paid -for advertisements —surfaced more often than the far more numerous organic reviews that don't contain ads. Prioritizing paid advertisements over non-affiliated content, the authors write, creates "a conflict of interest between affiliates, search providers, and users," and corrodes the trust of users looking for high -quality, objective information. In short, the more content on the Web is tricked out to draw our clicks, the more sequestered and siloed knowledge gets. The tennis enthusiasts get clickable tennis content, cat lovers get feline content, the wingnuts get wingnut content. There's scant variability running contrary to the premise of any given search. Getting beyond the cycle requires the users themselves to stumble into something new —to exercise an intellectual agency that the algorithm so often seems designed to dull. Regardless of how the clickable content reaches me, I find that instantaneous access to a gluttonous buffet of information has done something to the way I think —and it might not be good. In a meta analysis called "The Online Brain," Joseph Firth, a mental health researcher at Australia's National Institute of Complementary Medicine, and John Torous, who directs the digital psychiatry division at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and other authors, informs us that even "a short-term engagement with an extensively hyperlinked online environment (i.e., online shopping for 15 minutes)" does a number on our attention spans, compared to reading a magazine, which doesn't produce the same "deficits." Our fractured attention spans are having a clear impact on the way our memory and cognition function, they write. The more we go to Google—or anywhere on the internet—the less likely we are to remember the facts we seek to retrieve. Instead, we remember only where these facts can be found, and consequently become more reliant on the internet for basic recall. Such internet-induced erosions of memory have baleful effects on young adults, the researchers write. They impact the development of a brain region associated with the formation of long-term memory. Come to think of it, I have grown mentally itchy and restless ever since I started Googling things. As that kid in Iowa City, I was able to plunge deep into books and read for hours on end. But since Google entered my life in my early 30s, I only sink into immersive reading when I travel. Once I'm back on land, and open my laptop, I feel my concentration begin to scatter. Even as I write this article, following link after link, I feel my memory shrink as it gets outsourced to dozens of tabs in my browser, each offering some new bit of insight I can jam into this text, each promising some twinkling little reward, some key that unlocks my thoughts and gives them language. And though the possibilities of such digital wanderings are mathematically infinite, each new tab makes me feel more isolated, more at sea drifting farther from my goal, in need of some human rescue. What sort of apple did Eve eat? Why is black the color of mourning? What is the origin of the safety pin? When were chairs developed? How much is a human body worth? Does anyone hold a copyright on the bible? Those are some of the questions put to the reference desk of the New York Public Library since it opened in 1895—precisely the kind of minutiae we type into the search bar. They are collected in two books —The Book of Answers of 1990 and Peculiar Questions and Practical Answers of 2019—that also encompass the responses the 12-member reference staff were able to draft. Their answers —from 1895 through to today — usually arrive with a bibliography of works consulted and are often composed with witty personal touches. "What does it mean if I am being chased by an elephant?" asked one library patron in 1947. "We're going to assume this is a dream and, unless you correct us, we will continue assuming, so as we do not even wish to contemplate what it would mean to be chased by an animal 30 times our size with size 40 (U.S.) feet." For most of the last century, patrons' questions were asked verbally and recorded on hand- or type -written notecards. In 1968, a telephone line working from 9 to 6, Monday through Saturday, was added. You leave your question, and the librarians root out an answer from among the library's 54 million holdings and call you back, usually within about two weeks. The reference desk hasn't gone anywhere. All told, about 200 queries (you can use email now) pass through the library on any given day —a figure that hasn't flagged since the advent of Google Search, an NYPL librarian informed me when I called. Each day, Google processes 8.5 billion queries, slightly more than one for every person on Earth. Why would anyone bother with a librarian when questions are easily answered by a search engine and without the wait? I got my answer earlier this year when I met Nancy Burvant at the Mid -City branch of my new hometown library in New Orleans, where she works as the head of electronic resources. The midmorning sunlight streamed through the two-story vaulted glass windows at the front of the iconic mid century modern building, illuminating a display for Black History Month. In a city that is 60 percent Black, merely entering a library offered me a way to encounter what's important to my community that no amount of time on the internet can. We sat in an alcove off her office above the stacks, where Burvant's voice carried above the reverent library hush. The internet hasn't so much challenged the status of the library in public life, Burvant explained, as it has become yet another resource that librarians help patrons tame and understand. The internet is fine for some things, she said, "but how do you know that you're not getting a lot of junk?" "There's information," she said, "and then there's the right information." Burvant didn't ask me to take her word for it. She explained there have been plenty of research articles by library science experts on how the internet stacks up against a good reference librarian. The verdict: If you're looking to ground yourself in a topic with fact -based research, librarians are still your best friends. The digital shift that has crept through libraries over the past 30 years or so has cost millions of dollars in equipment and new media acquisitions and required new forms of training that go beyond the traditional Master of Library Science degree. New Orleanians have been keen to embrace the advances. In 2021, local voters —who are famous for voting down tax renewals —went against character to preserve $17 million in yearly funding to the library. The infrastructure librarians now navigate is different than the one that shaped the civic -minded explosion of public libraries during the early 20th century. Gone are the massive card catalogs that dominated the entry halls of the libraries I grew up with, replaced by slim terminals feeding into tentacular electronic library management systems. These, in turn, often feed web -based systems such as WorldCat, which can locate any book in almost any library pretty much anywhere. Part of me mourns the tactile experience that began my past inquiries —the holy smell of the wooden drawers, the cards smudged by years of curiosity, the inscrutable, punctuated numerology of the Dewey Decimal System. But their absence, Burvant noted, has made way for other things —space for classes and author readings, PC terminals and media labs, study rooms for tutoring sessions, offices for tech support, and, overall, more places for the public to just be. The library now exists as much in digital space as it does in cement, steel, and —in the case of the Mid -City branch —marble. As Burvant led me through the suite of free phone apps the library offers, I felt like a bit of a dupe for shelling out for iTunes, Netflix, and YouTube. That also goes for eBooks and audio books, of which the library has about 200,000 holdings. And when I check out an online book from the library, Burvant assured me, none of my choices here are spied on. At best, my hold on an item might trigger her colleague Rel Farrar, head of adult acquisitions, to order more copies of what I am looking for. "There's information," the librarian said to me, "and then there's the right information." The fact that eBooks can only be read by one patron at a time puts me back in an approximation of a public space. It reminds me that there is another human being somewhere in this city who shares a curiosity with me. We may never meet, but as I place a hold on the material we're both interested in, I am acknowledging some sort of physical finitude —a democratic compact to share a limited resource. This is not a typical digital experience where the world —and our searches —are available for a price. But it also presents a tension between the library as a public space and the library as a mere purveyor of digital information like so many others available to us through the search bar. "Libraries have to maintain a balance between the benefits of digitization with the preservation of traditional library values," Burvant said. "The negative side is that people might eventually stop coming to the library altogether, as libraries continue to contribute to the screen -centric culture." Another risk of digitalization is that it can leave some patrons behind if they don't have access to tech. "Let's not forget the Digital Divide, which can limit the inclusivity of library services and hinder some individuals from fully participating in the library's mission," Burvant said. Digitalization has other big costs as well. Offering eBooks and audiobooks, said Burvant's colleague Farrar, constituted some of the library system's biggest expenses. That's because they can't be purchased once and forever like a book can. Instead, libraries are forced by publishers to buy a sort of periodic license to offer eBooks in their collections. These licenses have to be renewed every couple of years, and they are not cheap. For instance, 90 eBook and audiobook versions of the best-selling Britney Spears memoir, The Woman in Me, costs the library $6,000 to keep in stock. When the license lapses in two years, the library will have to shell out another $6,000 if Farrar elects to keep all 90 copies available. By contrast, 30 copies of the print edition cost the library only $600. "Ten years ago, to spend $1,000 on a book meant it had to be one of the biggest books of the year," Farrar said. "Now there are multiple eBooks every year that we spend thousands of dollars on each." It's not an accident that the bulk of the New Orleans library's collection still resides in the million or so print resources it houses. It's this collection of printed, physical books, for me, that still gives the local library its gravitational pull. Besides, there is still nothing like that space between asking and finding out, that period of enforced contemplation between question and answer. Traversing the space between the two allows me to take a physical journey into my community, which, wherever I find myself, always has the power to surprise me. One recent Saturday afternoon, I dropped by the hulking mid-century aquarium of the New Orleans Public Library's main branch, a few miles from the branch where I met Burvant, to return J.M. Coetzee's The Pole —a novel by the South African Nobel laureate I'd previously been unaware of before spotting it on a library display. And, as it often is on the weekends, the library was a model of the vibrant, integrated city New Orleans wishes to be. None of the self -reinforcing tribal divisions that the internet seems so keen to foist upon us were visible. Affluent -looking young mothers parked their strollers at a catalog terminal in front of a pair of rumpled men playing chess at a table. Back in the media lab, a group of high school boys in puffy jackets and sneakers were recording a do-it-yourself rap video while a middle-aged guy in a fishing cap and muddy galoshes inquired at the circulation desk about an upcoming genealogy seminar the library is hosting. Other patrons were situated throughout the vast atrium's armchairs just doing whatever and enjoying the communal space. Old men read newspapers, students crammed for tests, a daughter taught her mother how to file her taxes online. On this Saturday afternoon, they were here together as one people, each drawn by some search query of their own. What might have been lost if they had just Googled it?

April 1 2023, in lov.,a City. lo-da Joseoh CresMoLva City Press -Citizen Several local organizations are collaborating this week to celebrate the transgender community through a range of activities, culminating in a Trans Day of Visibility rally on Sunday, March 31. Mandi Remington, the founder and director of Corridor Community Action Network, says the collaborative week involves partnerships between local organizations and members and allies of the transgender community. They are celebrating transgender individuals while also raising awareness of the challenges and discrimination the community faces. "Trans Day of Visibility was created to celebrate trans lives as opposed to honoring trans deaths," Remington said, marking the difference between Trans Day of Visibility and Transgender Day of Remembrance, which is celebrated annually in November. Transgender Day of Visibility (March 31) was first observed in 2009 and was founded by Rachel Crandall, a transgender activist from Michigan. The annual celebration has become an internationally recognized day of advocacy, celebration, and solidarity. Remington emphasized the importance of promoting transgender acceptance and awareness in Johnson County, which is why the community has scheduled various events from Thursday through Sunday. "We need our community members to show up in solidarity with our trans community and to learn about what is happening in the legislature and how we can build the necessary supports here in the corridor to make sure that we are doing everything we can to mitigate all of the harm that is coming down from Des Moines," Remington said. Remington, who has two kids who identify as trans, was inspired to expand the celebrations beyond a single day in an attempt to show the local trans community that they are "loved and supported." "Last year, when I started realizing that nothing was in the works, one of the first thoughts that I had was, 'there is no way I can let my kids see this and have nothing happen with everything else that they've been seeing and hearing lately,"' Remington said. "Having the moment to celebrate and come together as a community and know that they're loved and supported is important for any community that's experiencing the kind of attacks that trans people are experiencing at this point in time." The Iowa City City Council and the Johnson County Board of Supervisors proclaimed their support for Transgender Day of Visibility in 2023. The City Council and the Johnson County Board of Supervisors released separate proclamations recognizing the contributions of Iowa City's transgender community. Both government entities expressed contempt for recent anti-transgender legislation across the nation and in Iowa. Bringing the community together Major highlights include a rally and celebration from 2-3:30 p.m. on Sunday at College Green Park. Corridor Community Action Network chose to no longer hold events on the University of Iowa campus because of the trans individuals that were charged by university police. Seven non -binary and transgender individuals were arrested late last ,year after protesting a lecture in the Iowa Memorial Union. The rally and celebration are meant to be a joyous event anchored by multiple speakers, including Tara McGovern — who was recently acquitted of two charges following the aforementioned protest — Remington, trans youth, representatives from LGBTQ Iowa Archives & Library, and a live performance by The Quire. There will also be booths from organizations such as Corridor Community Action Network, Iowa Trans Mutual Aid Fund, EqualMeds, Iowa City Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), United Action for Youth, and Rape Victim Advocacy Program (RVAP). 1r of The Quire perform during a Trans Day of visibility event.

The day will finish with broad games hosted with Diversions Games & Cafe. "Saturday's community event at Public Space One is a good opportunity for anybody," Remington said. "The celebration and rally atmosphere doesn't work for everybody, it is an alternative for people with sensory sensitivities or [mobility] difficulties." The rest of the week will feature events intended to educate, celebrate, and advocate for the trans community, cumulating to the celebration and rally on Sunday.

Once again, it was dominated by books by LGBTQ authors or about the LGBTQ community. Mcaught up with Sam Helmick, community and access coordinator at the Iowa City Public Library, to discuss the necessity of advocacy, the importance of allies, and how the library community is handling such an unprecedented challenge. What was it like for you when Iowa's book -banning law, SF 496, was enacted in 2023? It was difficult. I was president of the Iowa Library Association at that time, ILA's first nonbinary, aromantic, asexual president. And there was a wonderful book called Gender Queerthat was quite a bit about people like me. And it was the most banned book in the state. At the same time, I was thinking about how we in Iowa are the founders of the Library Bill of Rights. Forrest Spaulding, then director of the Des Moines Public Library, wrote it in 1938. So these two things were on my mind as I was being asked questions like what my favorite banned book is. And my answer became: my favorite banned book is yours. My favorite banned book is the one that you're going to check out of my bookmobile today. My favorite banned book has yet to be written. Because the only way books like Gender Queer —which I needed as a teen but didn't get until my 30s—are written is because library workers before me have defended a process, and invited the public to ruminate on books and to recognize that we as a free people should read freely. What that was meant to impress was the importance of gently holding people accountable to the process, because library workers cannot single-handedly paint themselves out of the corners that pernicious policy puts them in. When I think about the Freedom Riders, when I think about Stonewall, I think about the brave folks who are part of those communities but also of the allies that came together to support them. It's going to require the public —the public that resources us by policy, goodwill, and funding —to paint us out of this corner. Last December, freedom to read advocates scored a victory when a federal court blocked SF 496, but the censorship onslaught continues. How are librarians in the state managing? We are pulling for each other more than we might have in the past. I'm very pleased that we now have built an affinity coalition inside and outside of library circles, and that we're much tighter with the school library and college and research library associations than we ever were before. But it's also complicated and stressful. I think the solace that I take is that if what we did was irrelevant, the book banners would leave us be. They obviously believe we have the power to support people reading and thinking freely, and there's something heady about that, even during the hard days. I get to stand up for something important. On April 2, Gov. Kim Reynolds signed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which critics say will legitimize discrimination against the LGBTQ community. Did that feel like deja vu after fighting SF 496? I would love to say it's deja vu, but it's been more of a deluge. Iowa had the second -most library -averse bills in the nation last year. Library workers have had two full-time jobs for a very long time: the first is to be incubators of access, opportunity, and hope. The second is to constantly fight for the ability to be that. Critics often describe the organized book banning efforts of today as an attack on the freedom to read, but also it's an attack on people, isn't it? I think we would be remiss if we didn't note that this is an attack on all our marginalized communities. We are fighting a two -front war here, one of which is a culture war and the other is a class war. When you dehumanize institutions that uplift and provide access, opportunity, and hope to our most marginalized, it's much easier to dismantle those public institutions. It should be no surprise that SF 496 was coupled with House File 718, which dismantled all 97 library levies that had been petitioned and voted into place in Iowa. That's not a coincidence. It is important to recognize that censorship is a hammer looking for a nail, that it always goes after our most marginalized and vulnerable first, and that library funding is an intellectual freedom issue, too, because if I can't purchase the materials, we can't debate or discuss them. It's game over. A version of this article appeared in the 04/15/2024 issue of Publishers Weekly under the headline: "Censorship Is a Hammer" Iowa City Public Library Board of Trustees Meeting Minutes March 28, 2024 1st Floor - Meeting Room A Regular Meeting - 5:00 PM Tom Rocklin - President Joseph Massa John Raeburn DJ Johnk - Vice President Claire Matthews Dan Stevenson Hannah Shultz -Secretary Robin Paetzold Members Present: DJ Johnk, Joseph Massa, Claire Matthews, Robin Paetzold, John Raeburn, Tom Rocklin, Hannah Shultz, Dan Stevenson. Members Absent: None. Staff Present: Elsworth Carman, Anne Mangano, Brent Palmer, Jason Paulios, Angie Pilkington, Katie Roche, Jen Royer. Guests Present: Jack Brooks. Call Meeting to Order. Rocklin called the meeting to order at 5:00 pm. A quorum was present. Approval of March 28, 2024 Board Meeting Agenda. Johnk made a motion to approve the March 28, 2024 Board Meeting Agenda. Shultz seconded. Motion passed 8/0. Public Discussion. None. Carman shared photography was occurring during the meeting for City PR by Jack Brooks. Items to be Discussed. Policy Review: 702 Library Programs. Rocklin shared Paulios and Pilkington worked on the policy. Paulios and Pilkington agreed it was time for an overhaul of the document. Raeburn noted 702.4 and said it was an ambiguous statement. Rocklin guessed there should be an "or" included in the sentence. Pilkington and Paulios agreed. Paetzold noted 702.8 and asked why it is referring to another organization when talking about the Friends Foundation. Paetzold noted the Bylaws and asked why we would refer to an external group. Paulios said it came from and has been part of the Collection Development policy. Paetzold said it seems odd to be talking about money going through another group in our procedures. Paetzold said it would make sense if it said the library doesn't accept funding; to refer to another group seems clumsy at best. Paetzold asked if the Friends Foundation had been mentioned in the past. Mangano said it has been in the Collection Development policy If you will need disability -related accommodations in order to participate in this meeting, please contact Jen Royer, Iowa City Public Library, at 379-887-6003 or iennifer-rover@icpi.org. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time to meet your access needs. for 3-4 years. Rocklin said it seemed like the bigger point is in second sentence with "gifts are not accepted with stipulations" but noted we'll work with donors. Rocklin noted it was tricky because the library doesn't receive the gift. Rocklin said it could say something like, "gifts received through the Friends Foundation are not accepted with stipulations". Paetzold said noted the Friends Foundation doesn't make decisions about programming. Shultz asked if the first sentence could be removed. Mangano said historically the Iowa City Public Library did manage gifts and sometimes staff would go through thousands of books per week. Due to this staff made a procedure change that then got added into the policy so the library doesn't do this and the Friends Foundation does. Rocklin asked if there is another place that says the Friends Foundation is the giving route for monetary donations. Trustees agreed they remembered seeing it somewhere. Stevenson said it is accurate that the Friends Foundation does do that. Paetzold noted she understood the intent for the policy language. Rocklin wondered what would break if it was left as is. Carman said he felt keeping the language wouldn't weaken the document and it would be fine either way. Matthews asked if the purpose was because people want to give gifts for a specific program. The Leadership Team agreed and Paulios noted memorials too. Shultz noted that should be in the Friends Foundation Gift Policy. Massa made a motion to approve the policy as is with the addition of the word "or" in 702.4. Stevenson seconded. Motion passed 8/0. Staff Reports. Director's Report. Carman said shortly before the Library Board meeting the City Council packet came out with Library Trustee applications. Carman noted policy 700 was not included in the packet but will be at the next Board meeting. Carman noted his upcoming absence and will plan to have a staff person take his place at the next Board meeting. Carman thanked Paetzold for attending the Johnson County Supervisor meeting. Departmental Reports. Adult Services. Rocklin asked Paulios to share more about the Digital Media Lab and Makerspace in Cedar Rapids. Paulios said Cedar Rapids Public Library (CRPL) has a Maker and Technology Fest coming up on April 13. Paulios noted ICPL and CRPL's labs are complimentary. Paulios said CRPL has more production equipment but lack our tech support and software. Paulios said ICPL has focused more on digital creation than 3D printers. Rocklin asked if staff have decided not to be in the stuff making business. Paulios said some tools would require a hood and a respirator. Paulios said 3D printing and sewing machines have always been appealing but we don't have staff to help with this. Paulios noted 3D printing generates the use of more plastic. Paulios said staff have focused on design work and shared that once something has been designed you can send it away for someone else to 3D print. Community & Access Services. Raeburn asked what the multiple languages were for the library card videos. Pilkington said Spanish, French, and Chinese. Brooks exited at 5:17 pm. Development Report. Matthews asked what happened with the Dave Eggers event. Roche said it was rescheduled and Ilyon Woo would be the next night. Rocklin shared excitement for the Begin with Books program. Roche said it is something the library has done for a long time and is worthy of highlighting. Roche noted the generous support of Hills Bank enables us to periodically purchase new materials. Pilkington asked when the partnership started and guessed since 1995. Paetzold agreed it's been going on for more than a generation. Miscellaneous: News Articles. None. President's Report. None. Announcements from Members. Raeburn requested nominations from Trustees for officers.
