From the Meeting October, 27 2022
Present: Pam Mullin, President; Greg Gorton, Vice President; Andy Bland, Secretary
and Trustees, Robert Armstrong, Victor Lieberman, and Christy Monk
• The Board approved library expenditures.
• 95 Curbside visits in September.
• The Library celebrated Library Card Signup month in September by signing up
299 new users and giving new cards to over 100 patrons that had lost theirs. An
additional 918 student cards were added for new 6th grade students at the
Dubuque Community School District.
• Several staff made professional presentations at the 2022 annual Iowa Library
Association conference, ranging from library programming, to intellectual
freedom, and using TikTok to promote the library and library services.
• The Library is launching a new literacy program called Bookworm Builders. Each
month, AmeriCorps staff will visit Head Start Preschool students, share a
storytime and deliver a free book to hundreds of students. At the end of the school
year, each student should have their own small library of books.
• The Library took part in several outreach events in September including
awareness days for students at the University of Dubuque and University of
Wisconsin -Platteville, and taking part in Steve's Ace Hardware Fall Festival.
Over 400 conversations took place regarding the Library's Makerspace and other
library services.
• Library staff lead training opportunities for Dubuque Schools Teacher Librarians
on book talking, selecting storytime books, and "weeding" library materials.
