Iowa City Public Library may serve alcohol
Alcohol could soon be served during fundraisers at the Iowa City Public Library and other city buildings.
The Public Library Board of Trustees discussed and approved the measure — which still needs to receive an OK from the Iowa City City Council — at its meeting on Thursday.
The change would support efforts of the Iowa City Public Library Friends Foundation, which holds annual fundraisers, usually offsite.
Officials discussed the proposal in 2006, but they did not receive council approval because of numerous aspects of a city ordinance, said Eric Goers, an Iowa City assistant city attorney.
“A person shall not use or consume any alcoholic beverages in any city building, except a city building covered by a license or permit,” that ordinance said. With approval from both the city manager and City Council, the Public Library Friends Foundation could be allowed to serve alcohol in any city building.
Library officials wanted to begin hosting fundraisers at the library in effort to cut costs on renting facilities.
Acquiring a license to serve alcohol would cost the library anywhere from $41 for beer to $232 for liquor, wine coolers, beer, and wine. Library officials can avoid obtaining a license, however, if the beverages are provided by a catering service.
Though it may seem costly, in the end, it would be huge savings for the organization, said Library Director Susan Craig.
“We want to be able to say thank you to our donors for their donations right here in the library,” said Development Director Patty McCarthy. “One in five new books are made possible by donations, and it would be much more dramatic to be able to take our donors to the shelves and show them the books we have received because of their donations. “Building the Collection” is one of the events hosted by the library, and it is held at hotelVetro. It gives us a very generous discount, but it would be more marvelous to be able to do this right here in the library.

Greetings from Dubuque County Library: Summer Fun at Dubuque ...
This weekend is a time for picnics and fireworks. On July 4th we celebrate our nation's founding and remember what a privilege it is to live in the United States. The good ol' USA is the birthplace of modern democracy and the birthplace of public libraries. We should all be proud that we as citizens recognize the importance of the public library as a community resource for the common good. Yea independence! Yea libraries! Next week will be a very busy one here at Dubuque County Library. We have lots of regularly scheduled storytimes: Holy Cross branch on Tuesday at 10:30, Wednesday at Farley at 9:00 and Epworth at 10:30, Peosta Community Center at 10:30 on Thursday, and Asbury at 9:00 on Friday. Also, there are two special programs: on Thursday and Friday will be Friends Forever presented by Jessica from the Riverview Center of Dubuque. She will read "The Sneetches" by Dr. Seuss and everyone will create their own mask. The programs will be at 11:20 following the Peosta storytime and on Friday following Asbury storytime at 9:50. And on Friday at 1:00 we will be showing "Diary of Wimpy Kid" at Farley Branch Library. These are great ways to beat the summer heat. Have you noticed that we now have computer catalog terminals at the Asbury and Holy Cross branches? We are in the process of getting those set up at the rest of the branches and they will be available very soon. You can use these stations to search for your own materials when you visit the library and to place holds. If an item you want is at another branch, place a hold and we will bring it to your most convenient branch location.
