801 Circulation and Library Card Policy
See also related policies: Collection Development (601) and Confidentiality and Privacy
(802). See also Iowa Code: Chapter 613.16 (Parental Responsibility of Actions of Children)
and Chapter 714.5 (Theft of Library Materials and Equipment).
801.0 / Purpose
The purpose of the Circulation Policy is to establish who may obtain a library card at the
Iowa City Public Library, privileges associated with different types of cards, and conditions
under which those privileges may be suspended. A valid library card provides library users
with circulation services which may include, depending upon type of library card,
borrowing materials and equipment, placing holds, or requesting interlibrary loan service,
and allows inhouse and remote electronic access to information resources. The Circulation
and Library Card Policy establishes charges for circulation services and replacement fees
for lost or damaged materials.
801.1 / Library Cards General Information
These policies apply to all types of cardholders:
a.Individuals of all ages may apply for a library card with proper identification and proof
of residence. (See Sections 801.12-801.19 for specific card categories.) Staff may allow
two checked-out items (no equipment) if proof of residence is not shown at time of
application; address verification must be shown before further use of the card is
allowed.
b.Cardholders are responsible for all materials checked out on the card and for payment
of replacement fees assigned to the card, except as noted.
c.The Library Director may refuse or restrict a library card if a pattern of abuse is
established.
d.Cardholders are responsible for notifying the library promptly if a card is lost or stolen.
(See Section 801.22 for cardholder liability.)
e.Library cards expire regularly to confirm address and other contact information.
f.Access to Library materials will not be restricted based on age except in the case of
circulating equipment with replacement value over $250, which will require parental
permission for checkout to patrons under age 18. Access to specific collections may be
restricted for the Student AIM cards based on the Memorandum of Agreement with
the participating school districts and public libraries.

(see 801.12-14). Self-registered cards permit limited access to online resources
and the physical collection as applicable to the service model in place at the
Library and the landscape analysis of community health. Self-Registration access is
regulated in context with the current Library service model available and the
Library mission to provide robust access to materials.

FY26 NOBU Request
Prepared for the June 26, 2025
Meeting of the Library Board of Trustees
Anne Mangano, Interim Library Director
Each year, the Board approves expenditures for the upcoming year from its Non-Operating Budget
accounts (referred to as NOBU). These funds are Board controlled and carry over a balance from
one year to the next, unlike the operating budget. The Library Board authorizes expenditures from
NOBU funds for ongoing and one-time, project-related expenses.
The two largest sources of income for NOBU are undesignated gift money (an annual unrestricted
payment from the Friends Foundation) and designated passthrough gifts. These funds are
complemented by state funding through Enrich Iowa, which we estimated as $66,500 in FY26 based on
previous years. These funds are not finalized by the State of Iowa until later in the fiscal year.
Additional smaller revenue sources include interest income and earned income beyond expenses (sales
accounts, lost and paid library materials, and reimbursements). These accounts are shown individually in
the year-end financial statements.
Income generally accumulates one year and is spent the next, although the requirements of some parts
of state funding call for expenditure in the year received. Foundation funds may also be spent in the
year they are received, as may funds allocated for library collections. The budget may be amended at
any time.
This year, there are a couple of large project-related expenses that are investments in the future of the
Library: the carpeting replacement project and the consultants for the building study. To cover these
expenses, I’m proposing that we utilize two accounts in addition to the yearly income we receive from
the Friends Foundation and Enrich Iowa.
The first account is our balance from unspent Enrich Iowa funds received during the pandemic. During
the pandemic, the State Library removed the requirement to expend the funds in the year they were
received. We currently have a little over $44,000 from these years held in reserve. The second account is
the Interest Account, which has remained dormant for a few years, but holds a significant balance of
$33,422. Prior to 2018, interest earned on the balances of our Gifts and Bequests Account was
deposited in a separate account, the Interest Account. This interest is now deposited into the Gifts and
Bequests Account to keep the funds together and simplify our balance sheet. It was the intention to
draw down the Interest Account and remove the line from the budget. Due to the pandemic, we have
not needed to use the fund.
Below is an explanation of our income streams and account balances for this specific request as well as
items we hope to fund in FY26.

Included designated funds are $16,400.00 for the
Summer Reading Program and $6,560.00 for the
afternoon snack program.
Enrich Iowa Direct State
Aid

granting years due to the pandemic. This is the
remaining balance.
Balance of Interest
Account
$33,422.28 This account includes interest that was previously

Collection Support $60,000.00 Non-operating funds are used to support
collection needs that cannot be met through
the City’s operating budget allocation.
Personnel, Development
Office
$43,809.00 Historically, a permanent, half-time position
in the Development Office has been funded
through Open Access state funds. This
position allows the DO to lead efforts in
fundraising, discarded and donated
book selling, grant writing, and solicitation of
support for Summer Reading program
incentives.
Winter Window $16,500.00 Gift funds are used to support a winter
edition of the library's newsletter. This
newsletter is typically distributed in
December and serves as the Foundation's
annual report and appeal. It is an effective
tool for the Friends to reach the community.
Library Programming $20,000.00 This funding will build enriching summer
experiences for all ages and supplement the
resources allocated for programming in the
operating budget. This request includes
$10,250 for Children's SRP, $3,075 for Teen
SRP, and $3,075 for Adult SRP earmarked by
the Friends Foundation annual gift to the
library.
Afternoon Snack Program for
Children and Teens
$6,560.00 For several years, ICPL has provided children
and teens a daily afternoon snack.
Historically, this program was supported
through individual donations, partnerships
with the school district, grants, and small
amounts of operating funds. The Friends
Foundation secured a generous grant to
support the program over the next five years,
allowing us to focus operating funds to
purchase supplies for our programs.

Project-Related/Strategic Initiatives Expenses: $122,000.00
Carpet Replacement $55,000.00 In our proposal to the City, the Library included
a small portion of NOBU to cover the expenses
of the FY26 Capital Improvement Project (CIP)
to replace the carpet in the public areas of the
building. These additional funds will assist in
covering the cost of the carpeting and
installation. The project's total is $805,000. The
NOBU contribution is almost 7% of the total
budget.
Building Consultant $35,000.00 In preparation for the flooring and
furnishings CIP and other future building
changes, we will work with Engberg
Anderson to establish a plan for aesthetic
updates (color palettes and transition plans,
etc.) and identify opportunities for minor
structural changes to meet shifting space
needs (interior wall/pillar systems, etc.). This
will build on the space study we conducted
in FY23. The total cost is projected at
$55,000.00 plus travel fees; this expense is
the remainder of what was budgeted in
NOBU in FY25.
Director Search Expenses $10,000.00 Funds will cover expenses related to the
director search process, such as advertising
the position, candidate travel and board, and
other related costs.
Staff Wellbeing Initiatives $4,000.00 One of the four goals in the strategic plan is
to improve staff wellbeing. These funds will
supplement the City's operating budget for
continuing education for library staff.

Interim Director’s Report
Prepared for the June 26, 2025
Meeting of the Library Board of Trustees
Anne Mangano, Interim Library Director
Administrative Policy Reviews
In reviewing some of the Library’s administrative policies, there are a few instances where we either
haven’t adopted the most recent City version of a policy or we diverge in some of the procedures. An
example is the library’s purchasing policy, an administrative policy that compliments the Board’s Finance
Policy. While the Finance Policy sets the broader philosophy, general guidelines, and financial goals of
the Library, the purchasing policy sets specific procedures to ensure fair and uniform procurement
practices.
We are a couple of versions behind the City’s current purchasing manual. It is a pretty easy decision to
adopt the City’s most recent version. Our Finance Policy states, “Purchasing policies and procedures will
be similar to City policies and procedures. The expertise and procurement resources of the Central
Purchasing Division of the City Finance Department shall be used whenever appropriate.” It is smoother
to receive advice from the City if we have similar purchasing practices, of which they are familiar. We are
working to update our purchasing policy, adopting the City’s guidelines while maintaining language
that speaks to ICPL’s Board autonomy.
However, as we move through different policies, there are divergent histories. On one hand, the Library
has a history of readily adopting City policies, including the purchasing and personnel policies. On the
other hand, we might adopt different practices to be nimbler and more responsive, such as the travel
policy, or to protect patron privacy and confidentiality by separating our computer systems.
Before I move forward in comparing other policies, is there any guidance the Board would like to
provide on how aligned you want our policies to be with the City? Some things I want to consider are:
•Protecting library autonomy by making sure policies are in the best interest of the library and its
operations as set forth by State and City Code
•Protecting patron rights to access materials and library services
•Ensuring we are following best practices as set by finance, human resources, and other City
experts
•Ensuring we are able to receive advice from pertinent City departments because we adopted
best practices
•Saving staff time by adopting established procedures, workflows, and forms
Public Service Changes: Evening Switchboard
On Monday, June 23rd, we reduced our Switchboard staffing during evening hours (Monday through
Thursday, 6pm to 9pm). Patrons calling the Library during this time will directly reach a person, but it
will be staff on the Information Desk or Help Desk that will take the call. This change in service is
scheduled to last through the summer schedule, which ends on August 17th.
Agenda Item 5A-1

~~ IOWA CITY
I'~ PUBLIC LIBRARY
Staff assigned to our Switchboard service point answer all calls to the Library, and, depending on the
request of the caller, assists with the question or transfers the call to another service point or
department. Between taking calls, staff on the Switchboard prepare holds for the pickup shelf and run
lists of items to pull for patron requests.
During this scheduling period, we face significant staffing gaps due to open positions and extended
absences and it was difficult to balance covering public service hours with completing other important
responsibilities. Public service managers reviewed use statistics over the last couple of years and found
that our evening call volume significantly dropped since the pandemic and has not recovered. We
determined that it was important to use staff scheduled during these evening hours to cover gaps
during busier hours. During the summer, we will evaluate this staffing change.
HF856
House File 856 was signed into law on May 27, 2025. The bill prohibits “public entities from engaging in
certain activities related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.” We are working with the City Attorney’s
office to understand the implications of this law on our work at the Library.
FY26 Enrich Iowa Agreement and Contracting Cities Questionnaire
Last month, the State Library sent the annual Enrich Iowa agreement and contracting cities
questionnaire to public libraries.
Funding that supports Enrich Iowa is appropriated by the Iowa State Legislature. Administered by the
State Library of Iowa, Enrich Iowa funding supports the following programs:
Open Access: This program allows Iowans to obtain a card at participating libraries and borrow
books and other physical materials. The State reimburses libraries for materials loaned to
patrons outside of their service area.
Interlibrary Loan Reimbursement: Further supports SILO by reimbursing lending expenses to
participating libraries, enabling Iowans to access materials in collections throughout the state
at their home library.
Direct State Aid: This grant program provides financial support directly to public libraries.
Funding must be used to improve library services by supplementing local funding. It cannot be
used to replace local operational funding received by the library.
Over the last few years, funding received through Direct State Aid and other Enrich Iowa programs
fluctuated but averaged about $66,500 per year over the last five years. This makes up about 1% of
ICPL’s budget. Most importantly, Enrich Iowa funds are meant to improve library services for Iowans
by supplementing, not replacing local support. Iowa City engages all three services offered through
Enrich Iowa.
We also submitted our annual contracting cities questionnaire. This report notifies the State Library
which communities are eligible to participate in Open Access because they contract their library

services with a nearby community. Hills and Lone Tree contract with Iowa City for libraries services,
while University Heights partners with both ICPL and Coralville. Expanding libraries services to these
communities, along with rural Johnson County, brings excellent library services throughout the Iowa
City area and supports our ability to do so by supplementing our budget income.

Summer Reading 2025 Kick Off
We had a great start to summer with our annual ABC Day
(Arts, Books & Children) Summer Reading Kickoff in
partnership with Summer of the Arts during the Annual Iowa
City Arts Festival. We had well over 800 hundred attendees
stop by the Family Stage to listen to live music, watch, dance,
and loads of other fun. Attendees also visited the
Bookmobile, planted our gardens, or stopped at one of our 6
booths including Paint the Town, bubbles by Absolute
Science, West Music, the 100 Grannies, Iowa City Robotics, IC
Parks and Recreation, and the Iowa Children’s Museum.
This day was generously funded by ACT and the Friends Foundation! The Day was a feast for kids and kids-
at-heart!
Summer Reading by the Numbers
Summer Reading sign up got under way on May 27th. We have nearly 1000 kids signed up for the
program and, so far, 90 finishers!
Adults & Teens have 729 sign-ups
and 73 finishers. We still have plenty
of summer left so join us for one of
our daily programs (or two!) and
make sure to sign up to read! We
have included the Summer Reading
Program guide in the packet for you
to look through and see what our
hardworking staff has planned for the community this summer. The ideas for these programs and events
begin all the way back in December.
Partnerships
We have once again partnered with the Iowa City Community School District for daily snacks. Partnering
with ICCSD to provide daily snacks ensures equitable access, supports student health and learning, and
leverages existing infrastructure for efficient, sustainable distribution. This collaboration also aligns with
nutritional guidelines and builds community trust. We thank them for this generous partnership through
the busy summer months!
Our Spanish Bilingual Library Assistant, Miriam and I, were asked to partner with the Iowa Bike Library to
provide library card sign-up, a storytime, and craft for their weekly “Mujeres en Bici” program, which
focuses on teaching Latina women how to ride bicycles. We were able to take the Bookmobile for our
first outing and are looking forward to the next program together!

CITY OF IOWA CITY
Collection Services Department Report
Prepared for the June 26, 2025
Meeting of the Library Board of Trustees
Anne Mangano, Collection Services Coordinator
Thank you, Paul! And congratulations!
After 18 years with us at the Iowa City Public Library, Paul Bethke is editing his last MARC record,
closing the door on the Bookmobile one final time, and handing out his last Summer Reading
Program prize on the Children’s Desk. He wears many hats, serving our community in many ways. And
he is retiring July 1st.
In 2007, Paul was hired as a part-time
Library Assistant II to work on copy
catalog records (downloading MARC
records from online bibliographic
services) and to provide public service
on the Children’s Desk. He was
promoted to a full-time Library
Assistant III in 2011, fully cataloging a
variety of materials, including print,
audiovisual, digital, and toys. He is also
Collection Services’ point person in
bringing in vendor records for our
Fiction preprocessed materials. We rely
on Paul to complete reclassification
projects, or moving materials from one place to another, such as the World Languages and toys. He
worked on moving the comics out of nonfiction, rebranding the World Films collection, and
simplifying our music compact disc arrangements. Through these projects, he made our collection
easier for patrons to browse and find materials.
In addition to working on the Children’s Desk, Paul serves on the Bookmobile, bringing library services
out into our community. He is also known for the “Paint the Town” contribution at our annual ABC
Saturday during the Arts Fest celebration. Giant cardboard structures are designed and created for
children to paint throughout the day. He also leads ICPL’s Book Cart Drill Team for the homecoming
parade and is a founding member of the library’s house band, the 781’s. (He promises to continue
playing in the band). These are only highlights. Paul’s impact and reach at this library are far and wide
from working on the Communications Committee to serving on many Strategic Plan groups; it is
difficult to quantify.
On behalf of the Collection Services department and the Iowa City Public Library, I wish Paul Bethke
many happy returns in his retirement.

Information Technology Department Report
Prepared for the June 26, 2025
Meeting of the Library Board of Trustees
Brent Palmer, IT Coordinator
Incident Response Plan
The Iowa City Public Library engaged a local cybersecurity firm to review our security Incident Response
(IR) plan and conduct a tabletop exercise to test it out. Having a working and tested IR plan is a key
component of our overall Cybersecurity Plan. This engagement was designed to:
•have our incident response plan reviewed by a 3rd party experts
•practice using the plan in the absence of an emergency
•obtain an attestation showing that it was done
The plan, based on industry standards lays out several phases in dealing with an incident: detection,
analysis containment, eradication and recovery. The plan also emphasizes establishing communication
channels with various groups during an incident, including the city IT department, the PR team, the
legal department and the management team. It establishes temporary "roles" including
communication lead and scribe that can be assigned during an incident.
The Library does not have a dedicated security team, nor does it even have a position dedicated to
cybersecurity. Fortunately, we have had no incidents; but that means we don't have any experience to
draw from. This plan reflects an emphasis on preparation, management, communication and
documentation and less on procedures for containment and eradication. We will rely on help from
partners, consultants and vendors for hands-on response. The criticality of Library systems is less than
that of other public sectors. For recovery, we lean toward the ability to rebuild systems over
redundancy even though it may take longer.
Earlier this month, we conducted a tabletop exercise to test our incident response plan. The tabletop
exercise involved laying out a scenario describing a security incident reported to the team. In this
case, a staff member revealed that they clicked on a bogus survey and entered their credentials. After
we discussed our response to the information provided and decided how to respond, new
developments were provided by the facilitator. Over the course of the exercise it was revealed that
more and more systems were down or compromised.
The exercise was important because IT folks tend to immediately begin trying to fix things instead of
stopping to think about working through the plan, and communicating with others about the issue.
Although we did uncover a few changes that need to be made to the plan, the main benefit of the
tabletop exercise was to force ourselves to practice putting the plan into place with a realistic
scenario.

Katie Roche, Development Director
Great Give Day 2025 - Update
One month after Great Give Day, we’ve now surpassed $30,000 in total contributions. While our original
goal was $40,000, we observed that some donors chose to contribute to the Bright Future campaign
instead, which appears to have partially impacted giving to Great Give Day. This insight is incredibly
valuable as we begin planning and budgeting for next year—it will help us better anticipate donor
behavior and strategically time, segment, and position our fundraising efforts to maximize overall
support.
Bright Future 2026
After conferring with ICPL Staff and our
supporters, a date for Bright Future 2026 is set.
Save the date for April 11, 2026, a Saturday,
instead of a Friday night. This will make
transitioning to the private night easier, with
the ICPL closing earlier. We’re excited to repeat
what we hope to become a cherished and key
ICPL fundraising event!

Vintage Photos: Iowa City Street Scenes in The ‘60s and ‘70s – Vintage
Cars and My Old Haunts Being Demolished Thanks to Urban Renewal

I accidentally stumbled into a trove of old photos of downtown Iowa City, most of them from the
years 1970-1976, which perfectly match the years I lived there a second time as a very carefree young
guy. Most are from a collection at the Iowa City Public Library and were made to document the rather
extensive urban renewal project that was then just getting under way, and which involved tearing
down many blocks of old buildings and houses. I watched all of this happen in real time, and a
number of favorite haunts of mine went the way of the wrecking ball.
This is a block of Dubuque Street in the heart of downtown, and this block was one of a few that was
spared and still exists. As to the cars, I rather doubt it, although a lot of Mustangs did survive. A ’69
Impala convertible? Maybe. An AMC Matador wagon? Not so likely.

This is the next block east on Dubuque Street, something of the main street in town. The Hotel
Jefferson, long the tallest building in town, is seen in both shots. It had been taken over by the
University of Iowa by then as an office building. It’s a bit hard to make out, but a few doors this way is
the Best Steak House, where I got my first job after returning to IC in February of 1971. And that
green Plymouth Fury coupe in the foreground will be seen at least one more time.
Here’s a better shot of the Best Steak House. The Filet Mignon meal was $2.09, as I remember all too
well. It was owned by a Greek guy and everyone who worked there except for me were all
Greeks. This half block would soon be gone, but the Best Steak House relocated to larger digs a block
away.
Back in the early ’70s, the parking lot at Penney’s, then the only “modern” store in downtown, having
replaced an older building some years earlier. Another old building is in the process of coming down
to the right. You will note a nice mixture of cars, as the locals still favored big American sleds but folks
connected to the university were very much early import adopters. There’s a red Datsun 610 coupe
three cars past the tired ’60 Ford.

This old building coming down was not technically a part of the city urban renewal project, but the
University’s ongoing expansion. In this case it was the East Hall. A Corolla and an early Capri share the
scene with a Toronado and a ’67 Ford Galaxie 500.
Here’s another shot of that, with different cars, including an Olds Cutlass coupe and a big Buick
coupe.

And one more of East Hall, this time with a Datsun 1200 coupe and a Volvo 122 along with a
complement of American iron.
East Clinton Street. The block on the left edge is already empty, and that building on the far right
corner, the former Odd Fellows Lodge, is one of the next to go. A VW cabriolet is behind a Datsun
240Z. Parked on the right is ’69 or ’70 Ford Ranch Wagon, a Vega, Datsun 510, ’68 Chevy, and a
similar vintage Dart. A ’69 or ’70 Montego si across the street in front of a “bumpside” Ford pickup,
likely an F100 4×4. Further back is a post-’68 orange VW Beetle, but I’m struggling a bit with the low,
swoopy car behind it. An Opel GT is my best guess.
This older picture of it slipped in somehow. There’s a Renault Dauphine in front of that ’64 Dodge.
And a ’61 Plymouth is on the right.

And one more shot of it, this time with a ’63 Rambler Classic between the Torino and ’68 LTD. That
Pittsburg Paint and Glass store is where I would buy materials when I picked up a painting odd -job. I
remember an old guy wanted just one side of his old 2-story house painted. After I did it, he then
wanted another side. Eventually it was all the sides. I would have charged him less for the whole
house upfront.
There it goes…behind a ’68 Torino Squire wagon.

Here’s the Burger Chef…before. I ate there a few times, but it wasn’t my favorite burger place. Another
post-’68 beetle and ’69 or ’70 Mercury.
And in the process of coming down.
The Southwest corner of College and Clinton Streets. A tire store, and the offices for the concrete
company. The reality is that although urban renewal was painful, ugly and partly perhaps unnecessary,
these kinds of business and many others were either failing or moving to new larger facilities outside
of the downtown area.
There’s a ’71 0r ’72 Pinto followed by a ’70 Impala, a ’62 Bel Air a ’66 or so Falcon 2-door and a Vega.
On the near side is a Volvo 122 and a Maverick.

East College Street, 200-Block. Lots of cars here, including a gen1 Monte Carlo, a Vega hatchback, a
’68 or so Falcon, a ’71 or ’72 Beetle, a ’68 or ’69 Beetle, and a Buick? In the street is a rather unusual
Ranchero with a roof rack on the cab. That’s a first. Parked on the other side is a ’69 Fury that could
well be the one I drove to the Rockies with two friends on a memorable trip in the summer of 1972 .
Behind it is a ’70 Chevelle Malibu coupe, a ’72 Torino wagon, a ’69? Olds 88, a ’70 Dodge Polara, a ’69
Impala and a ’73 or so Chevy K5 Blazer.
South Clinton St. 100 Block: Not a lot of car spotting, but that closer Schlitz sign is for the Vine, a
favorite watering hole, thanks to a fake ID. The memories made there…That whole block went down,

what looks like another right on its tail, and a ’64 Dodge 880 in the rear.

Iowa Avenue, looking East: This photo shows the old COD Steam Laundry building, which was the site
of the first Iowa City Public Library– housed on the second floor. By this time, the COD Steam Laundry
was now a favorite bar and music/dance venue, thanks to its large old wooden floor. This is where I
met Kim, the girl that had the Buick Wildcat I wrote about. A young woman I knew ran a little deli in
the front at lunchtime.
Although a large number of old brick and wooden buildings were torn down, some of the old houses
in the urban renewal district were moved. Here’s a group of three or so coming down Dubuque
Street. I actually met the guy who was doing this, at a party at one of his moved houses that he
rented out. I was quite intrigued by that, and I ended up doing essentially the same thing some 25
years later in Eugene, moving houses the University of Oregon was going to otherwise tear down. It’s
funny how certain concepts resonate and stick with one.
Here they are rolling by with the old Capitol in the background. Iowa City had been selected as the
territorial capital in 1839, but it did not officially become the capital city until 1841; after construction
on the capitol building had begun. The capitol building was completed in 1842, and the last four
territorial legislatures and the first six Iowa General Assemblies met there until 1857, when the state
capital was moved to Des Moines. It then became the center of the fledgling University of Iowa
campus. The University had been founded in 1847.

The traffic policeman is riding a Harley Davidson trike, which once very common for these kinds of
applications.
The second house, which is listing a bit precariously, is being hauled by a compact Mack MB model,
produced between 1963 and 1978. The house behind is being pulled by a 1950s GMC HD truck.
These houses were coming from an area to the south of downtown, where several blocks of them
were torn down. I had a friend who lived in one of them and was moving to Vermont, in part because
he had been given a final move out date and a few months’ rent for the trouble. But the house hadn’t
been totally shut down, one tenant in an upstairs apartment was still there. So I moved into his
apartment and lived there, rent free! Until a about two months later two guys from the city knocking
sharply on the door woke me up one morning. They were not amused. And they gave me until 5PM
to be out.
East Washington Street, 200 block: My last GF in Iowa City, the one I moved to California with, lived
with a roommate in an apartment above the Englert Theater. In that apartment was a heavy fire -proof
door that opened directly unto the balcony of the movie theater. Needless to say, we availed
ourselves of that amenity on a number occasions. We’d open the door carefully to make sure nobody
was sitting in the back rows of it. Hardly anyone ever sat in the balcony, so we got away with it.
Is that the same green Fury fuselage coupe we saw earlier?

Corner of South Clinton and Washington Streets: That could well be me driving that Iowa City Transit
bus. I drove for them in my last year in Iowa City, from the fall of 1975 to the late summer of ’76, when
I escaped to San Diego. This is where all the buses converged every half hour, on both sides of both
of these streets, which formed the corner of the University Pentacrest (on the left). The original fleet
bought in 1971 consisted of 12 GM T6H4521A buses (6V-71 powered), including these two seen here.
There were also two new GM T8H5307A buses (8v-71 powered), bought just shortly before I joined
them.
East College Street, 100 block: We wore shoes from Kinney Shoes, back when we were there as kids.
And I had a friend that lived in an apartment above Osco Drug. There’s a 1970 Chevy parked at the

This is an older shot, from 1963, when Bremer’s Clothing store, the biggest of its kind in Iowa City, had
a fire. I had a bit of a run-in at Bremers. After I first arrived back in Iowa City, in February of 1971, I was
broke and homeless, sleeping in a dirt floor basement. I really needed a pair of socks, so I shoplifted
one pair of basic men’s white cotton socks from Bremers. As I walked out the door, a young
kid/security officer grabbed me by the shoulder. I should have pulled away and run, but my Catholic
upbringing kicked in.
They called the police, who put me in a cell overnight before going in front of a judge the next
morning. He charged me a $35 fine (about $3500 in today’s money). I had to call my brother back in
Towson to sell my beloved stereo amplifier in order to raise the money.
Can you imagine the same thing happening today? Over a pair of socks? Times have changed. Folks
wheel out carts full of expensive tools at HD and the employees are not allowed to do anything.
I’m not saying I wasn’t wrong, but nowadays homeless persons can pickup all the basic living
essentials, clothing, tents, sleeping bags and food readily at various non-profits, food pantries and
such. Not so back then. It was a lot harsher, and I was hungry almost all the time. Jobs were not easy
to get, they wouldn’t give you food stamps unless you could prove you had a home with a full kitchen
(or access to one). I was very glad to get the job as busboy/dishwasher at the Best Steak House, where
I could eat free too.
Corner of E. Washington and Dubuque Streets: One of the main banks in town. And a ’66 LTD
followed by a ’67 Cadillac 4-door hardtop.

Northwestern Bell.
This fire happened in 1970 not long before I returned to IC, in the building that housed Things,

By the time I did return in 1971, it had been totally rebuilt, in a very modern and much larger
incarnation. The external steel was COR-TEN, which rusted intentionally on the surface. It was a very
hip department store, with clothes, kitchen ware, some furnishings, indoor plants, and a very chic little
deli/cafe in the basement. It was the cool place to be and be seen; there was nothing remotely like it
in Iowa at the time. A little taste of San Francisco or New York. The owner drove a vintage BMW
motorcycle with a sidecar where his chic wife sat, and dressed accordingly, with a leather helmet and
long scarf that trailed behind him.
The 000 Block of East Washington: Another building bites the dust. I knew the folks that owned the
Bivouac, an Army surplus store that was transitioning to sporting goods.
In order to make room for some of these businesses that were displaced, a temporary mall was
created in the 100 Block of S. Clinton street, right in the middle of the street. Here some prefab
building units are being craned into place. There’s two Jeep Dispatchers photobombing; one from the
USPS and the other a city police unit. Presumably this is what they replaced the old HD trikes with.

This is where the Bivouac was relocated to. In a curious coincidence, I was walking along the sidewalk
when this was being built, and who did I see nailing decking boards to the walkways between these
unit? Mr. Yoder, the Mennonite farmer I used to stay with in the summers when we lived here in 1960-
1965. He struggled to make a living off the farm so he would pick up other work, especially in the
winter.

Before we go on, let’s briefly look at Iowa City’s urban renewal project, which was first laid out in 1966,
with the areas affected shown on this aerial map. As mentioned earlier, not everything in this area was
torn down; a few key central blocks of the most vibrant part of downtown were left, all or in part.
How downtown looked in the 1920s. This must be from before 1926, when they added two stories to
the Hotel Jefferson. The 1920s were something of a peak time for many towns, before the Depression
and then the postwar expansion outwards, which of course is what weakened the downtowns. That’s
what urban renewal was supposed to fix, but it took decades longer than anyone expected.
This aerial phot from 1977, when demolition was finished, shows the many empty blocks. The
Jefferson Hotel building, is the tall red brick building a bit right of center. A few blocks to the right are
mostly University-owned blocks, so the affected area was mostly to the south.

But it did eventually happen; Iowa City has a vibrant downtown again, with many new developments,
student housing, conference facilities, retail and more. This aerial is from 2019.
This large development, Hieronymus Square, is from 2010. Perhaps the demolition process might
have been spread out, over the decades, and developers would have just bought the land and torn
down the old buildings when they were ready to put up new ones? Ch ange is an inevitability, Iowa
City has had a strong economy for many decades, but making much of the core look like Dresden
after WW2 seems a bit harsh.

Slick House! I lived there once. This beautiful old house overlooking the Iowa River on Clinton Street
was across the street from the university president’s mansion, and by this time was a rooming house
for a rather disreputable bunch of…eccentrics, crackpots, poets, bikers, hippies and me (and my
brother, who joined me here for a few months). We rented and shared that big bedroom on the upper
floor on the right. Oh the stories I could tell. For some reason, it was all men, as far as I can remember.
Well, no woman in her right mind would want to live there…the shared bathroom! The shared kitchen!
Beyond gross. Iowa City’s Animal House, with two Niedermeyers in residence.
The street here ends on the left of the picture, and one has to make the turn. This is exactly the
location where a few years later I went into a wild slide in the 40′ transit bus I was driving on a frosty
early morning, as I floored the throttle as I hit the brick pavement, which were covered in a very fine
layer of ice or frost. Yippie! Fortunately no parked cars were wiped out and I had no passengers on

‘Those dollars do belong to Iowans:’ Libraries cut essential programs

IOWA CITY, Iowa (KCRG) - Each morning, Sam Helmick of the Iowa City Public Library walks both
floors of the library.
As families check out stacks of books for the summer — it’s these moments that inspired them to
become a librarian.
But Helmick said some summer programs are now in jeopardy after the Trump administration
canceled millions of dollars from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Some summer programs are now i n jeopardy after the Trump adm i ni stration canceled millions of dollars from the National Endowment for the
Humanit ies.
“As a children’s librarian in my past, I can tell you firsthand that there are parents who cannot afford
vacation during the summer,” Helmick said. “So, the public library and its summer reading program
becomes that for them.”
Helmick said they’re advocating for funding and access as the president of the American Library
Association.
They say the Iowa City Public Library didn’t have any direct funding from NEH this year, but said
they’re still feeling the impacts.
“The indirect cost will be less programming, less ability to collaborate and less opportunity to our
communities to learn about the world around them,” Helmick said.
But they’re also optimistic as libraries wait for court battles to play out.
“There’s a hope I think that the courts will catch up with us and we will figure out that those checks
and balances do still exist and that those dollars do belong to Iowans,” Helmick said.
In the meantime, Iowans are taking action.
Humanities Iowa, a nonprofit that helps distribute NEH funding across the state, has called on the
public for help.
Helmick said it’s about more than money though — libraries offer a sense of community.
“They’re finding their favorite authors. They’re finding their friends,” Helmick said. “They’re finding a
place to cool off or warm up or get water. They’re finding somebody to talk to because a library
worker might be the only person they talk to this week, and that’s beautiful.”
As they work to protect what’s dear to their community.

Policy Review: 809 Library Use Policy. Shultz made a motion to approve the Library Use Policy
revisions. Paetzold seconded. Motion passed 5/0.
Mangano asked if it was useful to have the draft policy without the markups included in the packet.
Shultz and Paetzold agreed.
Policy Review: 814 Copyright. Paulios led the review committee and said there was a sizeable
committee and language was tweaked. Paetzold noted a technology change. Paetzold made a motion
to approve the Copyright policy revision. Stevenson seconded. Motion passed 5/0.
Policy Discussion: 101 Bylaws. Johnk asked for feedback on the current policy for needed revisions.
Mangano said it needs to go through legal as section six notes information about committees.
Mangano said a new interpretation of open records law requires meetings of committees to be open to
the public and have minutes. The Library Board needs to determine if they want to continue to have
committees. Paetzold asked if standing committees were specified, and said there had been discussion
about no longer having that structure. Stevenson said they are not listed, and the practice can be
advisory. Paetzold said should the committee need to meet ever arise, as long as the city attorney
advises, the Board could do that. Mangano said she believed so, and also believed legal would want the
word committee changed if its functions do. Paetzold suggested removing the section altogether.
Shultz noted section one states, members of the Iowa City Public Library Friends Foundation consists
solely of the trustees of the Iowa City Library. Shultz asked if it is true. Paetzold said the wording around
the Friends Foundation relationship is convoluted. Mangano said this is good timing as the Board will be
renewing the MOU with the Friends Foundation. Paetzold asked Mangano if she would come back in a
month with a recommendation on wording. Mangano agreed.
Shultz said a big reason the bylaws were adjusted a few years ago was due to changes in state law
about meetings in person. Shultz assumed that is still correct but thought it would be good to review.
Mangano agreed. Shultz said it was under article five, meetings. Mangano said it was under electronic
participation.
Johnk questioned if meeting on Thursdays at 5 pm was the right time and might limit participation from
certain demographics. Paetzold suggested allowing the new trustees to review meeting times. Johnk
agreed. Paetzold noted the time should also work for the public to speak to trustees. Johnk agreed.
Stevenson said library staff should also be considered.
Staff Reports.
Interim Director’s Report. Mangano gave an update on state library priorities and shared they sent an
email to libraries about the removal of the foundation directory, access to OCLC FirstSearch, access to
Brainfuse, and changing the Iowa Shares delivery from two days a week to one. Mangano said there is
no end date for the two day per week deliveries from Iowa Shares but shared the databases will be gone
in July. Mangano said Brainfuse may continue because Iowa Workforce Development might offer it.
Johnk liked the intellectual freedom statement and said it was wonderful. Mangano said it was designed
by our Graphic Designer, Eric. Mangano showed the statement handout and shared it was available at
public service desks and outreach sites. Mangano said it is also framed in the lobby near the trustee
picture.

Mangano shared she received and signed the Enrich Iowa agreement. Mangano shared the library will
get state aid but we don’t yet know how much. Mangano said she had shared information about trustee
appointments also.
Departmental Reports: Adult Services. Paulios said last night was the Downtown District’s annual
meeting. Paulios attended and said there were many other nonprofits, local government, and city
council members. The Downtown District is getting ready for SSMID renewal, their funding source,
which needs to go out for petition. The next ten years will be covered by this renewal. Paulios said in
July he will be President of the Downtown District Board. Paetzold congratulated Paulios.
Paulios said the Browsing Party is on Friday. The ICPL house band will be playing and it’s the launch of
the Adult and Teen Summer Reading Program. The following Saturday there will be a kickoff to summer
reading for kids. Paulios shared many staff are available to support the party. Mangano said last year
there were several hundred people in attendance. Pilkington said the summer reading program starts
Tuesday, May 27.
Community & Access Services. Helmick absent. Mangano said the seed library is very popular. Paulios
said it is stored in the old microfilm storage cabinet. Paetzold asked what is needed to sustain the
program. Paulios said staff have yet to ask for community seeds, noting there is a robust gardening
community in Iowa City. Paetzold asked if it would be self-sustaining. Pilkington said that is the hope,
and shared the seeds were donated. Mangano said a couple community partners helped gather seeds
and we can use those relationships. Paetzold noted Master Gardeners weren’t used. Paulios shared staff
Librarian, Beth Fisher, is a Master Gardener. Mangano said the seed library’s first day had several people
come in to use it, noting patrons had discovered it through community partners. Paulios said we can
harvest the flower garden seeds from the Teen Garden for it, and potentially vegetables too. Johnk said
that would be the ultimate way to be self-sustaining.
Pilkington said the Bookmobile will go on its annual one-week hiatus next week from June 2nd through
the 6th. Pilkington said it will be back downtown for ABC Day.
Development Report. Roche absent. Johnk said the support through Great Give Day was enormous.
President’s Report. None.
Announcements from Members. None.
Foundation Updates. None.
Advocacy Updates. None.
Communications.
News Articles. None.
Consent Agenda. Paetzold made a motion to approve the consent agenda. Shultz seconded.
Motion passed 5/0.

Bylaw policy review, Circulation and Library Card policy review, Lobby Use policy review, NOBU budget
request, and the Corporate Friends meeting will begin at 5. Mangano said the Library Board meeting will
