FY26 Budget Request and CIP Memo
Prepared for the October 24, 2024
Meeting of the Library Board of Trustees
Elsworth Carman, Library Director
The FY26 budget planning process continues to move forward, and we have drafted an initial budget
request for the full library budget and participated in additional CIP conversations with the City
Manager's Office.
CIP Update
As discussed at the September meeting, we have one active capital improvement project proposal
(attached). Like most years, the requests for CIP funding outweigh available resources, and there have
been multiple meetings to prioritize and rescope proposals. The Carpet and Furnishings Replacement
project was submitted with an estimated budget of $940,000, and that has been reduced by $135,000.
This 14% reduction —to $805,000 (inclusive of the $55,000 from board -controlled funds) —will mean
less updates to furnishings and limit the overall scope of the project, but the flooring replacement is
overdue and, assuming the budget is not decreased further, we plan to move the project forward.
The attached project sheet reflects the new budget.
I will keep you updated if additional changes are made to this CIP project.
FY26 Budget Request
I'm pleased to share the ICPL FY26 budget request for board discussion. This is provided in two
formats. The "FY26 Budget in Brief" gives an overview of the budget and gives the FY26 request
along with multiple years of budget history. You will recognize the line titles from the rest of our
quarterly budget reporting; some of them represent multiple departmental lines within an expense
category. The MUNIS report offers full, line -by-line details of the budget request.
Like last year, we were asked to limit new service expenses and focus on operational needs for
maintaining current service levels. Also like last year, maintaining service levels will require some
allocation changes and/or an increase in funding in multiple areas of the budget.
There are two areas we are seeking notable increases.
Consultants, Other Professional Services
We requested a $20,000 increase to the Consultants line in anticipation of starting the next strategic
planning cycle in FY26. We will most likely seek board support to supplement this funding with
resources from the NOBU budget. We have crafted the past two strategic plans in-house, which
worked well for the years during and immediately following the COVID-19 closure (and eliminated the
need to allocate financial resources for a consultant), and are now poised to work with a professional
consultant to create a plan for the next three to five years.
Library Materials
Our materials lines have been stagnant for a number of years and we have been allocating board
controlled funds to fill the funding gap. When combined with increasing costs for print and digital
materials, this creates a situation where our buying power is limited. Our hold time is increasing and
we are receiving more comments about inadequate supply of popular titles. In an effort to address
this, we requested a $27,000 (3.7%) increase in the materials lines. In public libraries, standard
practice is increasing collections allocations by 2-4% every year.

Description
This project involves replacing flooring and some furnishings in public areas of the library, along with repainting interior walls. The first floor has 31,000 square feet of public
space, and the second floor has 39,000 square feet. Flooring replacement includes moving all furniture and shelving, with budget covering carpet removal, floor prep,
shelving adjustments, and new flooring. Problematic in -floor wiring will be addressed to allow more flexible use and eliminate fixed public computer stations. Additionally,
original Teen Space cabinetry, general -use study tables, and some lounge seating will be refurbished or replaced. The project will focus on sustainable, durable materials
and flexible space use.
Justification
Since opening in 2004, the current library building has welcomed over 12.75 million visitors. Ongoing investment is needed to maintain a safe, efficient, and attractive space.
Proactive maintenance has extended the life of original furnishings, but after 20 years of heavy use, replacement is necessary. Delays could lead to safety and efficiency
issues, including the inability to support modern technology, resulting in unplanned repairs.
Originally submitted in FY2017 as a multi -year project, with a budget of 5700,000 and an FY2021 implementation, the project has been delayed multiple times. Costs have
risen from S700,000 in FY2017 to S940,000 this year. Replacing built-in furnishings during the flooring upgrade will save on labor. The Library can contribute S55,000 from
gift and donation accounts

Library Expenditures Q1, FY25 Update
Prepared for the October 24, 2024
Meeting of the Library Board of Trustees
Elsworth Carman, Library Director
The Q1 expenditure report is not atypical for this point in the year. While some lines are
trending higher or lower than average, the overall balance is appropriate.
In the past, I have reported on specific lines that are off -average, and for this update I will briefly
describe the spending associated with budget lines that are either over 75% spent or under 10%
spent and have a line value (revised budget or expenditures) of $10,000 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.

Director's Report
Prepared for the October 24, 2024
Meeting of the Library Board of Trustees
Elsworth Carman, Library Director
Iowa Library Association Conference Report
Eight ICPL staff members and one trustee attended the ILA conference in Des Moines. We had
representation from Adult Services, the Development Office, Administration, IT, Children's Services,
and Collection Services at the event. Robin Paetzold and I facilitated a panel discussion on library
governance that included directors and trustees from public libraries in Pella and Urbandale. The
panel was well attended, and the audience was eager to contribute to the discussion.
We allocate a significant amount of our continuing education resources to ILA every year and value
the opportunity to learn and network with regional colleagues.
Building Maintenance Update
We have a second failing sewer pipe in the building, located in the ceiling behind the Help Desk. The
second -floor restrooms have been closed since mid -week last week and a small area of the first floor
is blocked off with tarps. We're working to keep service disruption to a minimum and hope to have
repairs finished by early next week. At this point, Facilities staff do not think the pipe failures are
related, and are looking into options for assessing all cast iron sewage pipes in the building to check
for signs of damage.
City of Iowa City Community Survey
The City of Iowa City has issued a community survey. Some households received survey invitations in
September and October, and the survey is now open to all residents via
https://www.icgov.org/government/city-manager-s-office/2024-community-survey.
In addition to several questions that ask community members about City -level governmental services
in general and some focus on things like "special events and festivals" (which some respondents
might see as including library services) there is one standard library -focused prompt on the survey (as
a service to be rated along with other City services).
Department directors were invited to submit department -specific questions for the survey (the City
had the option to add a small number of custom questions), and I submitted seven library -related
prompts for consideration. While none were selected for inclusion in this survey, we may choose to
use them during the next strategic planning cycle as part of a library services survey.
I am eager to see the results of this survey and learn more about how the community perceives
general City services and library services. I will share what I learn with the board.
University of Iowa SLIS Advisory Committee
I recently completed a four-year term on the University of Iowa SLIS Advisory Committee. Serving on
the committee was a positive experience and as my term ended, I recommended that a representative
of ICPL be appointed for a future position on the committee as a way to maintain a vehicle for
sharing information between SLIS leadership and ICPL.
Children's Services Department Report
Prepared for the October 24, 2024
Library Board of Trustees Meeting
Angela Pilkington, Children's Services Coordinator
ILA
It was a great privilege to attend this year's conference in Des Moines, not only for the chance to see and
network with hundreds of librarians from across the state, but to learn and listen to them. I particularly
enjoyed the keynote session with three representatives from the state of Iowa talking about how legislative
changes are impacting Iowa Libraries.
Fall Programming
We are officially into fall in the Children's Room. We are seeing great turnout and usage of the children's
programs and the department. We have added several new programs in response to community input and are
receiving positive feedback. New programs include two sessions of Lego Robotics League, which is co-
sponsored with IC Robotics; Cooks to Books, which incorporate STEM and literature; Chess Club; and an
additional Pokemon Club session each month.
Notary
I am happy to announce my Notary certificate was extended for another three years by the Iowa Sectary of
State. This is a free service the library offers to all patrons.
Collection Services Department Report
Prepared for the October 24, 2024
Meeting of the Library Board of Trustees
Anne Mangano, Collection Services Coordinator
Overview of the Library's Collection Development Practices
On October 8t", the New York Times published an article about the role of weeding in public libraries.
The article's focus was on current lawsuits alleging that two library systems used their weeding
practices to remove books containing certain ideas or viewpoints. I thought this would be an
opportune time to review how we select materials for our collection and how we decide what to
remove.
Purchasing Materials. The main goal of the Collection Services department is to provide a dynamic
collection that continually meets the community's information and leisure needs. We have a team of
six librarians who develop different segments of the collection:
• adult fiction, comics, movies and television, and video games
• nonfiction, art, and documentaries
• young adult fiction
• children's materials geared towards infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and early readers
• children's materials geared towards tweens
• digital collections
When purchasing materials, anticipated public demand is a significant factor in what we purchase,
from individual titles to what formats we select. We consider an authors' past performance, a title's
media hype, the publisher's print run, a movie's box office performance, and the popularity
predictions of industry journals (Publishers Weekly, Kirkus, Book List, etc.). We also consider questions
from patrons about what they are looking for in the collection. To determine if we are meeting
demand, we run a weekly list of titles with long wait lists, purchasing additional copies for those titles
that meet our duplication criteria. We regularly purchase high demand titles for the bookmobile and
express collections, increasing the chances patrons see popular materials on the shelf.
Beyond anticipated popularity, we consider currency and timeliness of materials, current coverage of a
subject in our collections, positive reviews in trade journals, price and availability, and enduring value.
Our collections skew towards a general audience. We serve a community with diverse interests and
opinions, abilities, and reasons for using the library, and we aim to purchase materials that meet a
variety of needs.
Removing Materials from the Collection. Weeding, the process of removing materials from the
library, is also an important tool to ensure our collection is responsive to our patrons' needs. Weeding
serves several practical purposes. Culling the collection allows us to have adequate space for new
materials, keeping our shelves inviting, easy to navigate, and browsable. While shelf space is a
concern, we also want our materials to be in good, usable condition, free of worn and damaged items.
Lastly, books and other library materials are "for use," a main principle of collection development
standards. If our public no longer wants or needs certain titles, we remove irrelevant items so the
choices on the shelf reflect current community interests.
How we weed is as standard -based and process -oriented as adding items to the collection. A
significant number of items are removed through the mending process. These are items that are
damaged or significantly worn and are identified upon return or through our collection inspection
process, a Community and Access Department volunteer initiative to assess the condition of books on
our shelves. In Collection Services, we determine if we can mend the item or if we need to withdraw
and replace it. We may not repurchase if an item is infrequently used, contains out-of-date
information, or is out -of -print.
Another weeding process removes materials no longer used by the public. We identify these materials
through specific criteria, including the age of the item, the number times it was borrowed overall, and
most importantly, the last time it was borrowed. Each collection has its own criteria for our pull lists,
based on the size of the collection and the shelf space allocated. For example, our adult fiction
collection's criteria require an item to be used more frequently than the nonfiction; there is
significantly more space dedicated to nonfiction. We have a long-established schedule for this
systematic weeding, but we are also responsive to changes in use. For example, we significantly scaled
back weeding in 2020, 2021, and 2022 as current patron use was not a reliable indicator of future
patron use. We also use data -based tools to determine when to remove duplicate copies of titles we
purchased that are no longer needed once demand slows.
Materials withdrawn from the collection are repurposed in ways that continually support the library
and its mission. Some are considered for our outreach collection sites or use in programming, while
others are sold to the Friends Foundation for resale at book sales, the Book End, the Book Nook, on
eBay, or to ThriftBooks. As a last resort, we recycle or throw away items that cannot be reused, such as
significantly damaged materials.
We continually evaluate our collection development policies and procedures. Our library has a
talented team that supports the collection, identifying issues with current practices and working to
solve them. Through their work, our collection is up-to-date and relevant and meets the current and
future needs of our community.
Update on the Phase Out of Audiobooks on Compact Disc Collections
In the June 2023 Board Packet, I discussed our plan to retire the compact disc collection of
audiobooks. More detailed information on our reasoning for phasing out the collection is available in
that packet, but generally:
• Use of the collection has plummeted
• We want to focus our efforts on our digital format, which is significantly more popular
• There are very limited titles available to purchase in the compact disc format
• Collection maintenance for this collection is expensive
We are moving into the final months of the collection. In August of 2023, we retired the Young Adult
and Children's Book on Disc collections. The plan is to remove the remaining collections (Adult Fiction
on Disc and Adult Nonfiction on Disc) from the shelves in December of 2024.
To prepare, we placed signs steering patrons to our digital audiobook collections in Libby/OverDrive
and hoopla. In early November, I will post an article on our website explaining the change that can be
shared on our social media accounts. Additionally, Stacey McKim has planned classes on using our
digital collections during the month of November. I alerted our staff this month to expect questions
related to the decision. While we did not receive comments about the youth audiobook compact disc
collections, I understand this change removes access to titles to some of our patrons.
IT Department Report
Prepared for the October 2024
Meeting of the Library Board of Trustees
Brent Palmer, IT Coordinator
Patron Help Migration
One of the projects currently underway this fiscal year is the migration of our Patron Help portal to a
cloud -based platform. The central component of the Patron Help portal is our Ask -A -Librarian page
where patrons can chat or message staff for help. The Info desk primarily handles these requests
although other service points can also see the requests and answer them as well. The majority of the
requests are account related such as renewing expired accounts, password resets or help with holds
management. The software also serves as a management system for staff to handle other patron
requests such as purchase suggestions, ILL requests, book -pull requests, personalized
recommendations, At -Home circulation and meeting room reservations changes. The portal was
originally conceived as a centralized place to handle all of the electronic patron communication.
Within the portal staff can respond to patrons or transfer requests to other departments and staff. It
has functionality to automate such tasks as anonymizing patron requests, deleting requests after a
certain amount of time. It also has an API which allows us to build integrations. An example is the
purchase suggestions and ILL forms which are built by us but "feed" the requests into this system.
The software that powers this portal behind the scenes is open source and is installed and maintained
on our own servers. This model of employing open source software that we maintain has allowed us
to offer quite a few services at minimal cost. However, we are now being pushed away from this
model by a variety of forces, the primary being cybersecurity. In this case, the company that produces
this software will no longer provide updates to customers who install the software themselves. A core
tenant of modern cybersecurity plans is making sure that all systems are patched quickly, especially
ones exposed to the internet. Moving this software to the cloud converts us to a subscription -based
model of payment. As a result, we are now scaling back some of the functionality that we use this
software for to manage those costs over time. This trend presents some difficulties in managing the IT
department budget. Although periodic hardware costs tend to go down, they are replaced with
recurring subscription costs that continue to rise.
Bookmobile DVR Replacement
Another project we are currently working on is replacing the digital video recorder (DVR) in the
Bookmobile. The Bookmobile shipped with four cameras and a DVR. In addition to recording video,
the cameras display on a small screen in the cab. This gives the driver a view around the bookmobile
including a view of the rear that can be helpful when backing up. We have not had much reason to
use the camera recordings. There has only been one incident of vandalism on the Bookmobile and it
was the windshield which was not caught by the cameras. After 7 years, the DVR has died and we are
replacing it with a newer model. I am sure the Bookmobile drivers are anxious to have the backup
camera back in operation.

FRIENDS
FOUNDATION
Thank you to the Iowa City Public Library Friends Foundation accountant Lynne Kinney for her decades
of service to ICPLFF. Lynne is in the process of retiring and has worked with us for the past couple of
years to help us update our practices and offer advice on effective division of duties for our small office.
Lynne is in the process of writing up processes for our new accountant, Jenn Gravert of New Moon, who
specializes in small nonprofits and businesses. Lynne officially passed accounting duties over to Jenn on
10/17/2024. Thank you for all of your years of service, Lynne!
Transition to QuickBooks Online
ICPLFF is moving over from the nonprofit desktop version of QuickBooks to the online version. In
advance of this transition, we conducted a four -month long project which involved readying our
accounting data for the transition. This transition will allow our fundraising software, Donor Perfect, to
communicate directly with QuickBooks. Earlier this year we adopted Constant Contact as our
communications software, which has already been integrated with Donor Perfect. It has been a lot of
detailed work to set up these systems, which allow for less double data entry, creating fewer
opportunities for error, creating a better understanding of how our constituents communicate and
prefer to give. The transition to QB online will also reintroduce customer service, which was not available
for the desktop version, and will make it easier for our new accountant to be responsive to inquiries,
needs for custom reports, and advice.

Fighting for unrestricted access to information in Iowa City
By Emma Isenhart, Arts Reporter I October 1, 2024
https://daiIviowan.com/2024/10/01/fighting-for-unrestricted-access-to-information-in-iowa-city/
As legislation around the country targets diverse voices in literature in library book bans, members of
the Iowa ON literary community wonder what comes next.
Al .i Ncumaier/Thr U.."� luwui
Kimberly Datchuk moderates a panel with Oluwafemi Adeagbo, Laura Cottrell, and Saba Khan Vlach (left to right) during the panel "Keith
Haring, Censorship. & the Power of Art" at the Iowa City public Library on Sept. 26.2024. The panelists were involved in education and spoke
about the impact of banning books on elementary school students.
School libraries and art rooms are havens of inclusivity and information for children. Teachers take
pride in creating a safe space where students can explore and express themselves most authentically.
Public schools, as well as public libraries, are becoming increasingly anxious about laws expanding
past school libraries to violate the principle of intellectual freedom by prohibiting students from
expanding their own knowledge of a specific topic or concept.
"Public libraries are designed to offer broad, inclusive collections that invite users to find what they
want and need," Elsworth Carman, the Iowa City Public Library director, said. "The idea of limiting this
offering, based on the beliefs and standards of people from outside of our service community and
outside of the profession of librarianship, is a serious philosophical and logistical challenge."
With censorship on the rise, these institutions risk losing what once made them foundational for
knowledge. It's more important now than ever —amid an era of book -banning legislation —to know
what's at stake and what intellectual freedom means for young people.
The American Library Association defines intellectual freedom as the right for people to think for
themselves, and that every person has the right to access information from all points of view, in all
formats, and without restriction. Censorship, defined as limiting or removing access to words, images,
or ideas, directly opposes intellectual freedom.
Legislation, like Senate File 496, aims to regulate content in school libraries. Specifically, it prohibits
books depicting sex acts in school libraries up to sixth grade.
The legislation, however, is vague, allowing each school district to enforce it differently. Many books
being targeted by bans include LGBTQ+ stories, specifically ones about gender and sexual identity.
A large reason why Senate File 496 exists, and why so many are keen on censorship, is that children
have access to adult materials and concepts.
"Many libraries, including [the Iowa City Public Library], have crafted policy around the belief that
parents and adult caregivers play an important role in guiding their children's reading choices,"
Carman said. "The public library's role is not to limit access based on perceived appropriateness, but
rather to provide materials that reflect diverse perspectives and experiences."
Not only are literary works being censored, but art is also on the chopping block. Just like books, art is
necessary to express and explore difficult concepts. The Iowa City Public Library offers not only books
but art as well.
"We are dedicated to maintaining a collection that allows every family to find the materials that best
align with their values and interests while ensuring the community has access to the widest possible
range of resources," Carman said.
The program called "Art to Go" has become increasingly popular within the Iowa City community.
"The artist is a lens, just like the author is a lens. They might take a topic or an object and make you
rethink that object. Art can bring joy, but it can also bring other types of emotions, including sadness,
and melancholy," Anne Mangano, the collection services coordinator at the Iowa City Public Library,
said.
Topics relating to the LGBTQ+ community are primarily at the front of these motions of censorship in
both the literary and artistic sense. A prime example of this would be the work of Keith Haring.
Haring, a gay man diagnosed with AIDS, expressed both his sexuality and his diagnosis within his
colorful, demonstrative artwork. He used his art as a form of activism, creating everything from anti-
apartheid artwork to AIDS awareness paintings.
Currently on exhibition at the University of Iowa Stanley Museum of Art, Haring's 1989 print
"Ignorance = Fear, Silence = Death" was created to bring awareness to the AIDS epidemic.
However inspiring Keith Haring and his artwork may be to some, others would feel better if his work
were silenced. Due to the subject matter, some may feel the need to censor both the artwork and the
artist to shield young minds from the uncomfortable.
"Exposure to diverse art — much like exposure to diverse literature — helps increase cultural
awareness, empathy, critical thinking, and historical or political insight and help equip communities to
resist censorship," Carman said. "Art can be very powerful, serving as a means to express controversial
ideas, resist or protest repressive environments, document history, raise public awareness, and
establish an emotional connection."
The Iowa City Public Library's panel on Haring's work on display at the Stanley Museum discussed the
value of topics like sexuality and identity being readily available in both art and literature.
The full program is available online, furthering the library's goal of promoting freedom of access to
information.

1964. A book is shoved into his hands by
a mysterious woman, detailing his fam-

Mexico. It's pretty fortuitous. Sonora is
writing a script for a Western based on his
grandfather's 1895 attempt to rob a train
In Texas and his odyssey returning home
across the Rio Grande. But there are some

In Valene Perrin's Forgotten on Sunday,
Justine Neige, a 21-year old aide at a nurs-

car crash), they never liked to talk about the past- The resi-
dents of the nursing home help fill the gaps. She loves to lis-
ten to their stories, reveling in their adventures, careers and
past loves. She is especially taken by Heliane Hel, who reveals
that her lover disappeared sometime during World War II.
Justine begins to record Helen's story, but in learning about
regret and loss, she finds inspiration to confront what really

explorations of buried family secrets.
In Sarah Perrys Enlightenment, the past seems more like
a circle. Steeped in a shared unshakeable faith, Thomas Hart
and Grace Macaulay don't feel they belong to their small
English village or their small Baptist church. While decades
apart in age, they bond through turning their eyes to the
past, and more importantly, the cosmos. It's 1997 and Hart,
a newspaper columnist for the Essex Chronicle, Is told by
his editor to write about the comet Hale-Bopp_ This assign-
ment leads Hart down a rabbit hole. He develops a new love
of physics, and more importantly, an obsession with a local
astronomer who vanished a century ago. The need to solve
this mystery stretches and strains the relationship of Thomas

about what is the gravitational pull. It is a splendid book.

Removing Books From Libraries Often Takes Debate. But
There's a Quieter Way.
By Elizabeth Harris I October 8, 2024
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/08/books/book-ban-library-weeding.htmI
Weeding, or culling old, damaged or outdated books, is standard practice in libraries. But in some
cases it is being used to remove books because of the viewpoint they express.

content.Credit... Nam Y. Huh/Associated Press
Thousands of books have been removed from schools and libraries over the past several years, often
accompanied by stormy public meetings and acrimonious debate. But there is a quieter way books
have been pulled from libraries a process called weeding.
The practice is standard for librarians, a regular part of keeping their collections current. Traditionally,
weeding involves removing books that are damaged, out of date or haven't been checked out in a
long time. This makes room for new editions and titles that are of more interest to the community.
Now, three years into surge in challenges and removals of books from libraries, weeding is sometimes
being used to remove books because of the viewpoint they express or the story they tell. The issue is
now working its way through the court system.
Advocates say that, increasingly, administrators and library board officials are using this approach to
avoid the public spectacle of formally pulling them because of their content.
"When you remove a book because you believe it's critical race theory, or portrays L.G.B.T.Q. lives or
because you believe it's too vulgar," said Deborah Caldwell -Stone, Director of the American Library
Association's Office for Intellectual Freedom, "that's not weeding. That's censorship."
In recent years, the number of books that have been restricted or removed has surged around the
country, fed in part by conservative organizations, lists of books that circulated on social media and
state laws that have decided what kinds of books are appropriate for children.
Those in favor of restricting access to certain titles say they are trying to protect children from
encountering difficult, inappropriate or sensitive topics while they are alone in the library, or at school
without guidance from their parents. Those who oppose these restrictions say libraries should
represent a wide range of viewpoints.
Usually, removing a book from a school or library because of its content requires a process. That can
include extensive public notice and input as well as board meetings, which can get volatile and
heated.
Weeding, on the other hand, is part of the day-to-day work of maintaining a collection. Librarians do
this largely on their own, though most libraries have weeding policies and criteria to help guide the
choices.
One common standard is called "MUSTIE," which stands for Misleading, Ugly (damaged or worn out),
Superseded (by a newer edition), Trivial, Irrelevant (to the community) and Elsewhere (meaning the
material could easily be found someplace else).
The work is essential to keep collections in good shape. Caldwell -Stone of the library association said
that librarians never know what they're going to find when they go into a library's book return drop
box — and generally, they try to sort through it while wearing gloves. She was once told that a book
was returned with a strip of bacon pressed between the pages as a book mark. That book, for
example, had to go.
Two lawsuits have recently taken up the practice, and how it is being used.
According to a suit filed in federal court this year, officials in Nassau County, Florida removed or
restricted access to 36 books in its public school library after members of an organization called
Citizens Defending Freedom said they were inappropriate for children. County officials said they
removed most of the books because they violated a state obscenity law.
Three of those books did not go through the usual process, according to Lauren Zimmerman, a
partner at Selendy Gay, and one of the lawyers who filed the case. Instead, they were weeded. Among
them was a picture book called "And Tango Makes Three," about a penguin family with two penguin
dads.
The district said it weeded its only copy of "Tango" because of a "lack of circulation," the lawsuit said.
But according to court documents, it had been checked out at least five times in the previous five
years, while thousands of other books in the district's public libraries that had not been checked out
at all during that period were not removed.
The other weeded books were "Ghost Boys," about racism in the United States, and "Almost Perfect,"
a coming -of -age story about a high school romance involving a transgender student, according to
the court documents.
The Nassau County case settled last month and all three books will go back on the shelves, along with
21 others. The remaining 12 books will be available for checkout to students who are at least 18 years
old, or who have permission from their parents. A lawyer representing Nassau County did not respond
to requests for comment.
"It took generations of work by countless individuals for books like 'Tango' to make it onto shelves of
libraries," said Justin Richardson, one of the authors of "And Tango makes Three," who was a plaintiff
in the lawsuit. "We're simply not going to sit by and let them take them off."
Another instance where weeding has landed in court is a case that began in Llano County, Tex. and is
now in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. According to court documents, public library
officials removed 17 books, including "Caste," by Isabel Wilkerson, which is about race in the United
States, and "It's Perfectly Normal: Changing Bodies, Growing Up, Sex, and Sexual Health," by Robie H.
Harris and Michael Emberley, which has illustrations of sex and masturbation.
County officials said those books were weeded. Lawyers for Llano County have asked the court to
reverse a 29-year-old precedent on the issue. They've argued that while none of these books were
removed because of their content or viewpoint, library officials have the right to do so. Removing
books is not a violation of patrons' rights, the lawyers argued, because the government is not
obligated to supply books in the first place. The government is not allowed to stop you from
accessing books, but it doesn't have to help.
This summer, a three judge panel ruled, in a split decision, that books could not be removed based
on their viewpoint. But a few weeks later, the Fifth Circuit made an unusual choice: It would rehear the
case, this time in front of the full court. Oral arguments took place last month, and a decision is
expected in several months.
Elizabeth A. Harris covers books and the publishing industry, reporting on industry news and
examining the broader cultural impact of books. She is also an author. Her novel, "How To Sleep At
Night," will be published in 2025.

Celebrating Iowa's literary legacy with 50 events at the Iowa City Book
Festival
By Jessica Rish I October 11, 2024 9:52 AM

2024-iowa-citv-book-festiva1/75619067007/
The Iowa City Book Festival highlights Iowa's rich literary roots and captures the essence of the
American story, and this year is no different.
The annual event presented by the Iowa City UNESCO City of Literature began in 2009, a year after
Iowa City earned its special distinction, one of three North American cities to hold the honor.
Programming for the week-long festival begins on Sunday, Oct. 13, and runs through Sunday, Oct. 20.
This year, the Iowa City Book Festival is back to its pre -pandemic speed, with 50 events spread
throughout the week, most of which are free and open to the public.
Partnering with the community
The Iowa City Book Festival teams
up with local organizations like the
indie bookstore, Prairie Lights,
the Refocus Film Festival, and the
Iowa City Public Library to host
authors from around the world.
The festival also welcomes a
multitude of writers, speakers,
educators, and artists — often an
amalgamation of the four — who
will present their works, many of
whom are graduates of the UI's
writing programs and current
students.
"The book festival is an opportunity
for us to celebrate the city of literature by highlighting the work of local authors, bringing in
prominent national authors, and looking to share stories and add to the ongoing conversation that
our community is having about a number of important issues," said the
Iowa City of Literature executive director, John Kenyon.
While the book festival doesn't have a guiding theme, this year's festival could be best described as
"telling the American story," according to Kenyon, from stories about Native American Identity, the
importance of translation in literary spaces, and deep -dive investigation of education privatization
and school vouchers.
"We have a lot of authors who speak to some of the big things that we're grappling with as a
community and as a country, but also offering a little escape if you're already too inundated by that,"
Kenyon said. "There's so many different perspectives from politics to place, (The Iowa City Book
Festival) is capturing that American story and finding many different
ways to tell it."

The Runaways. There are multiple showings of LIZZIE: The

DJ Johnk — Vice President Joseph Massa John Raeburn
Hannah Shultz -Secretary Claire Matthews Dan Stevenson
Members Present: Bonnie Boothroy, DJ Johnk, Joseph Massa, Claire Matthews, Robin Paetzold
Hannah Shultz, Dan Stevenson.
Members Absent: John Raeburn, Tom Rocklin.
Staff Present: Elsworth Carman, Madison Kizer, Anne Mangano, Brent Palmer, Jason Paulios, Angie

Guests Present: None.
Call Meeting to Order. Johnk called to order at 5:02 pm.
Approval of September 26, 2024, Board Meeting Agenda. Shultz moves to approve
minutes, Matthews seconds. Motion passed.
Public Discussion. None.
Items to be Discussed.
Budget Discussion. Johnk notes Carman has included a lot of information. Carman says this is a
different format of the same information shared throughout the budget process. Shultz notes the
Foundation growth has been huge. Paetzold notes it's a nice move for transparency to have the
Foundation reports like this, Roche said this format was prepared last year as well, but this year has
more context. Massa notes we're using QuickBooks, Roche says we're moving to QuickBooks Online
which will help with a new accountant. Paetzold asks if any changes should be noted, Carman says no,
but the budget process is about to start, and he plans to amplify the need for an increase of the
collection budget since we have been using more NOBU funds for materials to keep up with community
needs. Carman included the CIP worksheet and noted that the city is using new software with a user
experience that is much better. The current CIP project was first submitted by former director Susan
Craig in 2017, and the budget needed to be updated, leading to a significant budgetjump. Carman

noted that the building still feels new to many community members, it is 20 years old and many of the
furniture is showing its age, despite the best effort of our maintenance staff. At this point, the building
needs are on the cusp of being safety issues. Matthews and Stevenson noted it's time to do this due to
the amount of money being asked for and prices only increasing in the future. Massa asks if this goes to
a community vote, Carman says no.
Policy Review: 809 Library Use. Carman noted that he and Pilkington worked with city legal on this
policy. Massa commented on this being related to a children's event in the past where signs on sticks
were present, and there was the potential for violence, and that it had been a concern for him back then.
The legality had been questioned in the past. Carman noted it's not the content of the sign, but the
potential safety issues involved. Matthews says it walks the line between safety and freedom of speech
for this community space, wondered if the politically charged event was the same at the children's
event. Boothroy asks to look at the wording of 809.307 — "displaying or distributing flyers". Johnk asks
about 809.308 — "except at events" what does that mean? Stevenson asks the same. Carman answers
this is due to our meeting rooms being open to the public, so there is no expectation of privacy, and will
provide more clarification on this after it is discussed at in-service day. Mangano says due to media
coming to events, and the library also taping and photographing events, if in the building it's public
information. Matthews notes also private events can have the same guidelines. Paetzold brings up
809.307 and notes that taking photos could be considered disruptive or offensive and used as
intimidation tactic in personal space. Shultz concurs. Carman says library can work with city legal to find
a more appropriate phrase. Matthews asks about the phrase "unless authorized by the Director or
designee and by the patrons involved or parents if minors are present" in 809.307. Paetzold and
Stevenson say we will get challenged on that, as Stevenson has had personal experience taking photos
of his own children at the library. Pending further discussion, Stevenson moves to approve.
Bonnie adds that in 809.402 the library should keep the phrasing parallel to the rest of the policy, that a
verb should start the sentence to keep the pattern, like "using" or "wearing." Johnk says that will be
added to the workshop list. Stevenson moves to approve, Shultz seconds. Motion passed.
Policy Review: 102 Policy Making and Policy Review. Shultz notes this doesn't follow the pattern of
readdressing every 3 years, that it's been 6 years instead. Shultz moves to approve, Matthew seconds.
Motion passed.
Staff Reports.
Director's Report. Carman says there's no additional updates as they went over the CIP already. He
noted the reception event in December in Coralville. The plumbing emergency was resolved. He adds
there is significant interest in the Corridor Library event and will talk with the leadership team for any
further scheduling needs requested. Stevenson asks about the Drag Storytime venue being moved to
the library. Carmen says there were logistical issues, and it was more complex to maintain the event at
the original location of the Stanley Museum of Art.
Departmental Reports: Adult Services. Paulios had nothing new to add, other than an update on
Banned Books Week and the upcoming Intellectual Freedom Festival. He is working with the Book
Festival to collaborate with visiting authors who fit in with those themes. Shultz asked about the new
hire interns, and Paulios says any day now. They reopened the teen position. Victoria Fernandez and

intern Katie Cox are doing the best they can in the meantime. Jason adds they did hire Victor Resendiz
for the DML position and included a brief introduction. Matthews asks if SLIS was reached out to for the
position, Jason says yes, they try to target certain groups. Social work would be a good fit as well.
Community & Access Services. Helmick was absent. Johnk notes it's interesting to see the social media
imprint, and good to see the Book Bike out and about with numbers behind it. Pilkington says we
should have mentioned the new Fall edition of the Window newsletter for additional information.
Development Report. Roche mentions the fundraiser at Yotopia today to support the ICPL Foundation.
Shultz notes Roche had a goal to raise the monthly donations and asks if that is happening. Roche says
the Foundation is improving the communications with mailing list, social media, staying on message to
increase gifts by donating monthly. It does take time, but once people get in the habit they want to
sustain the support.
President's Report. None.
Announcements from Members. None
Committee Reports.
Advocacy Committee. None.
Finance Committee. None.
Foundation Members. Massa says nothing more to add than what has already been covered. He had
missed the last meeting, but was pleased with allocations made by Hills Bank.
Communications.
News Articles. Johnk notes some articles are better, some worse. Matthews says the Iowa Standard got
retweeted by Moms for Liberty, which caused a little online virality. Massa asks about emails excerpted
and was this the Open Records Request from Carman's report, Carman says yes. Carman received the
open records request which he sent to the city attorney office, then IT searched for the communications.
He adds we don't get many at the library. Massa asks if this was an expose. Matthews says it's a personal
agenda from the Iowa Standard, that it's an anti-LGBTQ paper based in Sioux Center, and primarily one
journalist with a narrow scope of articles. Carman says it's a complex set of issues — creating access to
materials is central to our mission, when it's brought out as a negative it feels complex. The writer
reached out to Carman for clarification on emails, but probably didn't appreciate the response.
Stevenson appreciated the work and feedback that was positive towards the library. Carman says he did
receive some negative feedback, but they did not ask questions or seek more info. Boothroy asks what
the plan is for future relationship between the school district and library. Carman says the plan is to
continue on with our scope of services, and anticipate and respond to community changes. Carman
noted that the library does not have a practice of automatically ordering materials that are removed
from the school but does have an established procedure for collection development. He noted that we
do see an increased interest when certain titles are removed from the school. Matthews says (while
clarifying she is not a spokesperson) the district legal team has gone through the articles extensively,
and there is some misinformation in the articles. There is a difference between owning and promoting
certain titles. School district policies haven't changed. Day to day hasn't changed, only removed books

that were specific, very systematic, and documented. Approximately 170 titles were ultimately removed.
Some titles were removed for not being a great book that didn't fit with policy. Boothroy expects we will
see more scrutiny, that this is not the last open records request. Carman says that when the request
came through, he met with the city manager, discussed what kind of materials would come up in the
request, and the city is confident with our practices. It's significant to have a team at the city that is
aware of the library and well -versed in our policies and practices. Massa asks how many libraries around
the state have a bookmobile with "banned" books. Carman says he believes most libraries use their main
library policies on bookmobiles. Titles typically include popular, high -interest, high hold, community
requests to be on their bookmobiles. Carman thinks all of them have some material with LGBT, "our
voices" content. Pilkington says the Ames bookmobile is mostly child -focused in the afternoon. The local
Antelope Lending Library relies on donations. Scott County's bookmobile has popular materials, while
Davenport's is more technology focused. Carman says these articles very intentionally selected what
they focused on. Pilkington says the Bookmobile goes to schools after the school day, and very rarely do
students come on the Bookmobile without a caregiver. Massa's concern is how pervasive is it
throughout the state. He wonders if a legislator in Des Moines could read this, could see it as an issue
limited to Iowa City, and might let it go. But if it occurs in other places, what could legislators do that
might affect public libraries statewide? Paetzold says meeting regularly with the legislators helps.
Pilkington says it's good to know what's on the bookmobile for the board and the public, and ours has
mostly new books. Massa doesn't think swarms of people are seeking out these highlighted titles, but
now that the attention has been brought there may be. He was glad these articles were included in
packet to know what other opinions are out there, but it was a shame that some people in the room
were singled out. Massa wonders if this is a stepping stone to public libraries. Pilkington says this is
happening in other states like Idaho. Matthews says this affects different ages/grades in the same
building — two different populations due to the recent moves from junior highs to middle schools in the
area. Massa wonders how many people will pick up on this as a movement. Carman adds that there are
assumptions made about how libraries are run and managed, but there are intentions in the policies. He
noted his concern about potential legislation focused on library governance and feels that taking away
local control could be really damaging to the public library mission. He adds it's frustrating to see this
manipulation of information.
Consent Agenda. Matthews moves to approve, Stevenson seconds. Shultz asks for clarification —
approving minutes from last meeting. Motion passed. Shultz moves to approve disbursements, Massa
seconds. Motion passed.
Set Agenda Order for October Meeting. Johnk says the budget discussion, 1st quarter
financials & stats, and policies 501 & 502.
Adjournment. Johnk adjourns the meeting at 5:57 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Amanda Ray
