Letter from the Foundation Spring Greetings, Friends! After a much cooler March than anticipated, I hope April finds you ready to welcome all that Spring has to offer. At the Library Foundation, we’ve been busy planning our first in-person fundraiser since 2019. The Literary Vines event on April 29 will feature wine, beer, and nonalcoholic beverages paired with heavy appetizers from Roaster’s Café alongside live music, a silent auction and Library tech toys. See page 7 to learn more. Charity Tyler

Foundation Board Members Brittany Scanlon, President Sean Williams, Vice President Ashley Grimm, Secretary

I’m also working closely with Library Director Dara Schmidt to hone in on plans to fund a new west side library facility. We’ve requested American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds from the City and the County to support this project, and as of this writing, have not received notification. We have big dreams, and are looking forward sharing these dreams with you in our Fall newsletter. On page 4, please read our special tribute to Van Vechten Society members that were lost over the past few years. Their names have finally been added to our memorial wall at the Downtown Library, and we’re looking forward to a time we can gather to honor these members and their families.

Lois Buntz

As each day passes, I am feeling more hopeful. I’m hopeful for our donors and supporters, for the tiny green buds that will soon pop through the dirt and mulch, and for our Library’s outreach efforts and summer programs that are slowly returning to a new, in-person normal.

Jen Conwell

Wishing you hope and sunshine.

Letter from Friends Dear Friends, If you were a TV viewer in 1979 you’ll likely remember the Heinz Ketchup commercial with the Carly Simon Anticipation song in the background. The voice-over proudly claimed their ketchup was “worth the wait.” The Friends of the Library’s big book sale actually has a tie-in with condiments, as you’ll note on page 10 of this issue of FOCUS. I’m talking about the secret sauce that’s so important to a successful sale: volunteers! What’s not a secret to anyone familiar with how Friends of the Library functions is that we are a 100% volunteer-driven operation with no paid staff. Our board of directors is a true handson board and over the past year has done more heavy lifting than ever before. Several months were spent down-sizing our space at the Cherry Building in order to accommodate inventory for the upcoming big sale scheduled for May 13 - 15. The photo on page 11 reveals a small sample of how much work has been done in the packing and moving of boxes.

Friends Board Members Libby Slappey, President

Going forward, our board hopes to operate more efficiently in how donated books are processed and readied for selling at our Friends of the Library book sales throughout the year. As noted on page 9, we are counting on the general public to do their part in choosing what books to donate to Friends.

Kate Walters, Treasurer

We never lose sight of our ultimate goals: to get gently used books into the hands of eager readers for a fair price and to use those proceeds to support innovative programs at the Cedar Rapids Public Library.

Lesli Nesmith, Recording Secretary

We are thankful for the hard work of our board and volunteers, for the generosity of our True Friends, to those who donate used books, and to those who faithfully shop our sales. What a team! With a look to the future,

Libby Gotschall Slappey President, Friends of the Cedar Rapids Public Library

Van Vechten Society Wall Over the past few years, we have lost several Van Vechten Society members. In 2020, our plans to recognize and honor these individuals were postponed due to the pandemic. But earlier this year, we took the first step towards recognition by installing ten new bricks on the memorial wall in our Downtown Library Commons. Those receiving new bricks are: Beulah C. Moloney Memorial Curran Lamar Rosser G.M. McGraw Gerald O’Brien Hazel Dawn Hobbs Memorial

Hub & Marie Schimberg James A. Curran Memorial Janet Dautremont Milly Joslin Memorial Nadine E. Sandberg

The Ada Van Vechten Society honors those who are committed to caring for and nurturing our Library now and in the future. A person becomes a member upon notifying us that they have included the Library Foundation as a beneficiary in their estate plans, whether through a will, IRA, or insurance policy. Once a person has passed, or if memorial gifts exceeding $1,000 are received, a person’s name is added for perpetuity. The Van Vechten Society wall is a simple tribute to ensure these library supporters are seen by all who enter our Library. This fall, we hope to gather again to honor these members and their families. To learn more about our Ada Van Vechten Society, please email [email protected] or call Charity Tyler at 319.739.0411.

Love for Reading, Inspired by… Who inspired your love for reading? The Foundation has partnered with Acumen Advisors to bring you a new campaign in support of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. This spring, we hope you will honor your reading inspiration, whether friend, teacher, parent, or grandparent, by making a gift to the next generation of readers. Imagination Library prepares children for kindergarten by mailing one ageappropriate book to their home every month from birth to their 5th birthday. A gift of only $25 will fund one child’s books for a year. Our goal is to raise $4,000 to ensure 160 Cedar Rapids children will be guaranteed another year of Imagination Library books. When someone makes a gift, an email is sent inviting that donor to share a photo and a story of the person who inspired their love for reading. We will then share this story and image on our social media pages to inspire others to support the campaign. Please keep a look out for our Love for Reading. Inspired by… campaign and be thinking of who you would like to honor with a gift this May.

With Gratitude… Nearly every month for the past 22 years, Janet Rater led the Cottage Grove Place Book Club, and in March, she retired. We are so grateful for Janet’s service. To honor her dedication to reading and to the book club members, we have placed a plaque with her name on a chair in Whipple Auditorium.

Thank you, Janet! You are appreciated and will be missed!

Library’s 125th Anniversary (continued from cover) By 1974, the fledgling Friends organization had already grown to more than 950 members, according to the book Cedar Rapids Public Library: The First 100 Years. From the beginning, the Friends organized book sales to support library programs. Their first contribution to the library was preschool-sized furniture for the new Edgewood branch. In 1978, they purchased a Friendsmobile, a canteen truck converted into a bookmobile. It held up to 1,300 books and visited area day cares, preschools, and senior living facilities, as well as community events. The members served as the library’s ardent supporters, leading bond issue campaigns for library expansion, including gathering thousands of signatures in support of a new library during a doorto-door campaign. After three bond votes failed, one of the founding members, who had become a Library Board member, Nancy Green McHugh, went to the Hall Foundation and convinced them to donate enough money to help fund a new library, which opened in 1985. The Friends have funded a significant number of library and literacy programs over the last 50 years, including summer reading programs and the Books by Mail program. The Library Foundation has funded Cedar Rapids’ Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library since 2018.

Since it was formed, the Foundation has been responsible for the largest fundraising efforts for the library. When the Hall Foundation grant was announced for the 1985 building, the Foundation accepted the money in installments over ten years, and handled bond sales to finance the project. The Hall grant then retired the bond debt. The Foundation and Friends together raised an additional $1.3 million in private contributions from 18,000 donors for the building. The Foundation again led a capital campaign to build a new downtown library after the Flood of 2008. They also fund innovative library services and programs, such as a public computer lab in the 1990s, and more recently the digital content service Hoopla and the Mobile Technology Lab.

Friends of the Library book sales have helped fund Library programs since the ‘70s.

“We fund innovation, so the library can try new services with donor dollars before committing taxpayer dollars to them,” Foundation Director Charity Tyler said. Another recent achievement was bringing Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library to Cedar Rapids in 2018. The program to send free books to babies and toddlers now serves more than 65 percent of eligible Cedar Rapids children.

Gratitude to our friends at CCP Packaging and International Paper for supplying Friends of the Library with hundreds of sturdy cardboard boxes used in transporting books from our Sorting Center at the downtown library to the Cherry Building for the May book sale. We couldn’t have done it without you! The energy of students from Regis Middle School was put to use in collapsing old boxes for recycling. Thank you to Activities Director Kyler Nelson for coordinating this effort.

The muscles and good humor of Susie Loney, Erick Ahrendsen, Patrick Whitworth, Larry Muters, and Richard Muters made fast work of transporting dozens of heavy boxes for Friends of the Library.

(Books) To donate or not to donate, that is the question Sometimes, one person’s trash is not, in fact, another person’s treasure.  That’s the message the Friends of the Cedar Rapids Public Library want people donating used books to take to heart.   “We depend on donations,” Friends President Libby Slappey said. “But there’s emotion that’s tied up with so many of these books and media that are donated, so it makes it a little harder for people to think about recycling materials when they actually should be recycled.”  But, “Just because it means the world to you, it may not something we can sell,” she added.  Donations that can’t be sold include books that are chewed, soiled, musty, moldy, tattered with missing pages, books with excessive writing in the margins, books that smell of smoke, or have water damage or mildew.  People are also asked to not donate books that are out-of-date, like old encyclopedias, or other materials that have little chance of selling, like popular fiction from the 1970s and ‘80s.  “Our bottom line is we are looking for books we can resell,” Slappey said. “A good question to ask is, is it something you would pay money for if you saw this book at a book sale?”  During the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Friends were inundated with book donations as people stuck at home did extended spring cleaning. Combined with fewer in-person sales during the pandemic, that led to a large backlog of materials to go through.  “We don’t have all the space in the world, and, frankly, for our aching backs, to have to carry boxes of books to the recycling is really a chore for us,” Slappey said. “We have a limited number of volunteers and a limited amount of energy.”  That doesn’t mean they want donations to stop. Just for people to be more discerning about what they bring in.  “Among donated books sometimes there are some real finds. We list books on Amazon and will be on the lookout for particular books with higher value,” she said.  So she is encouraging Friends and supporters to spread the word about the donations that help fund library programs, and those that don’t. 

What the Friends accept: Hardcover and paperback books for children, teens and adults; rare, signed, or first edition books; contemporary and classic fiction; popular nonfiction books such as cookbooks, biographies, history, or memoirs; complete, working movie DVDs and music CDs; audio books on CD; financial/ business, computer manuals, test preparation guides, psychology or selfhelp books, dictionaries, thesauri, and health books published in the last 5 years; travel guidebooks published in the last 5 years and Rick Steves or DK Eyewitness books; and vintage books in good condition.

What the Friends can’t accept:  Encyclopedias; annuals or yearbooks; professional journals or periodicals; magazines; Advanced Reader Copies (ARCs); popular fiction from the 1970s and 1980s that are worn or no longer popular; workbooks or study guides that are partially or wholly filled-in; Readers Digest Condensed Books; books discarded by other libraries; abridged audio books; LP records, audio cassettes or VHS tapes.

Spring: When a reader’s fancy turns to thoughts of…books! The first big books sale in two years is scheduled for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, May 13 – 15. MARK YOUR CALENDAR! Emerging from what the last two years have wrought, readers (and buyers) of all things books are more than ready. And the Friends of the Library board members are included in that ever-eager group. The main floor of the Cherry Building (329 10th Avenue SE, Cedar Rapids) will be festooned with shelf upon shelf of books and media. The offerings will include hundreds of $1 and $2 books making their first appearance at a Friends of the Library sale. On the lower level of the Cherry Building, in the space which formerly housed Basement Books, discerning shoppers will choose from among a wide array of individually priced books including vintage books, first editions, and author-autographed copies. A dream-cometrue for book collectors and book re-sellers.

The secret sauce to making this a successful sale? Volunteers! If you’ve volunteered at past Friends of the Library book sales, you’ll be welcomed back with open arms. Sign up today! If you’ve toyed with the idea of being a book sale volunteer, the May sale would be the perfect sale to give it a try. Sign up today! Perks of the job include on-the-job training, great colleagues, a sneak preview of the entire inventory, and a free book for every shift you work. Best of all, you’ll witness first-hand the joy of a child choosing their first book (Mommy, can I please have this one?!), the thrill of an adult discovering a long-lost favorite (OMG, I loved this book in high school!), and the incredulity of the bargain shopper who discovers a great book for a great price (Are you serious? This book is only $2?) See you in May!

Nationwide seller of books: Friends of the Cedar Rapids Public Library A reader in Tacoma, WA is the proud owner of Operational Amplifiers and Linear Integrated Circuits and willingly paid $435 for this book. It was sold by Friends of the Cedar Rapids Public Library on Amazon.com. A Streetcar Named Desire (Illustrated and Signed by Hirschfeld) meant so much to a reader in South Orange NJ, that the reader paid $119 for this Tennessee Williams classic. Another purchase from the Friends of CRPL online. And a beautiful coffee table book of photographs by Harper’s Bazaar staff photographer Hiro, was sold by Friends of CRPL on Amazon for $140. The book was shipped to Gainesville, FL. These are just three examples of purchases made through the Friends of CRPL’s online store on Amazon. And they serve as a wonderful reminder of the treasures that are found in the books that are donated to Friends for resale. Our internet team – Dwight and Debbie Schroeder, Nick Wells, and Cassie Long – are the ones who deserve the credit. Their experience with online selling, coupled with a real eye for what books are worth listing, are how Friends of CRPL can bring in hundreds of dollars each month in online sales. During the pandemic, when in-person book sales were suspended and people all over the country were confined to home, the opportunity to sell online really flourished for Friends. February 26, 2022 was a particularly interesting day for online sales when two books sold: The History and Social Influence of the Potato for $45 and The Joy of Sex for $20. If you were wondering, they were not purchased by the same buyer. 10 Focus on Friends - www.crlibrary.org/Friends

Basement Books: the continuing story Long-time supporters of Friends of the Library are familiar with the bumpy past of our location in the lower level of the Cherry Building, a space referred to as Basement Books. Made up of four combined bays, it features an unfinished concrete floor, exposed wood beams, exposed pipes, and small, opaque glass windows. Prior to the construction of the current downtown library, the Friends’ Cherry Building space was used as an area for sorting books in preparation for the annual book sale. Once the downtown library was completed – and included a large, customized room for sorting books – the Cherry Building space was kept for storage. As the New Bo District grew, along with an infusion of foot traffic, the Friends of the Library transformed half of its lower-level Cherry space into a retail space and dubbed it Basement Books. A tremendous amount of work went into creating a usable layout, acquiring and modifying bookshelves and stocking them by genre. We were enthralled with the idea of selling from a space that was permanently ready without having to unpack and repack boxes of books. We learned all too quickly that a retail operation requires a comprehensive marketing plan and a large crew of dedicated volunteers with flexible schedules. That’s where things fell apart. Basement Books was open in conjunction with other events going on in the NewBo District, i.e. Merry Cherry Holiday, EcoFest, and PRIDEFest. It made sense to be open when large numbers of people would be in the neighborhood – sort of a built-in audience. But just a few events a year was hardly enough to justify the space. In 2021, the Friends of the Library board of directors took a hard look and income and expenses, particularly in light of the cancellation of our largest revenue producers, the big book sales that had been cancelled for two years. Something had to give. The board chose to reduce the Cherry Building space and in doing so, cut a major expense (rent) in half. In less than 6 months, a huge backlog of inventory was reduced by recycling and online selling of books. The new down-sized space was reconfigured. And a number of odds and ends were sold or discarded. Now we are settling into this reduced space that accommodates our Better Books (collectibles and vintage) and our inventory for the larger sales. Most importantly, we are appreciating an expense reduction that allows us to provide our Library with increased support from Friends to fund innovative programs and services. A win for both of us!

Collectible and vintage books are a niche in the Friends’ inventory of books to sell. If you’d like a private appointment to shop our collection, please email us at: [email protected].
