Summer is here. I invite you to maximize your summer enjoyment with one of the many amazing items in our Library of Things (LOT) collection. If you’re craving an outdoor movie experience, check out a backyard movie bundle. This was an addition to our LOT collection during the summer of 2020 and it was so popular! We have everything you need to host a backyard movie party. The kit comes with a DVD player, a blow-up screen, a blower fan, all the appropriate cords and remote controls, and plastic stakes. Don’t forget to check out one of our new movies too! While we don’t supply the popcorn and candy for your backyard movie night, we have the big stuff you need. We have a variety of backyard games like cornhole, outdoor Jenga, bocce ball, giant Tic-Tac-Toe, and checkers. We recently added a very popular game, Slammo (aka Spikeball). You’ve seen it…players have a little ball that you slam on a small net. We also have added Yard-zee, huge dice with a dry-erase scorecard. Pickleball sets are available to check out for your next trip to a Deerfield Park District pickleball court. Explore the night skies with one of our telescopes, and learn about butterflies and bugs with a nature kit. Finally, we have travel kits with all the things you need to keep the kiddos entertained on your upcoming trip. For our friends that are spending time in the water, we have a fishing magnet. This is a multi-use magnet that is designed for fishing or recovering lost objects underwater. It’s a bit unusual! Enjoy your summer! As always, please feel free to reach out to me at amy@deerfieldlibrary.org with any questions or comments. Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director Find Your Voice: Join the Soundscape of Summer Readers! Our voices have power. We use our voices to share stories, express ourselves, and spark change.

Winners will receive a gift card to the Deerfield Park District or a year-long membership to one of the following Chicago Museums: Adler Planetarium, Art Institute of Chicago, Field Museum, Museum of Science and Industry, Shedd Aquarium. National research from Dominican University finds that students who participate in public library summer reading programs: • Scored higher on reading achievement tests at the beginning of the next school year than those who did not participate. • Spent more time reading over the summer, read more books, were well prepared for school in the fall, and read more confidently. • Reading even just six books over the summer will help keep your child’s mind sharp. Encourage the young people in your life to participate in the Summer Reading Program! See page 12 to meet the artist that created this year’s Summer Reading Program logo. �Adult Programs For full program descriptions, visit the DPL events calendar at deerfieldlibrary.org, click on “Programs”.

That inspired the introduction of this new occasional feature to let you get to know a bit more about the amazing people that work here. Enjoy! • Currently watching: The Night Agent on Netflix, but my favorite shows are Last Kingdom and Outlander. I always return to The Lord of the Rings film series. • Fun fact: I have a degree in Architectural Drafting from my home country, Colombia. One of my hobbies is making custom greeting cards out of parchment. I love dancing and listening to music – English or Spanish – I don’t discriminate. Patricia • Working for DPL the past five years has been like visiting a fair, lots of fun and something new and exciting around every corner. The staff is so friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and supportive. Library Aide • Currently watching: The Mandalorian, Season 3. • Fun fact: I have a PhD in Old Testament studies from Trinity International University, and I teach Old Testament courses part-time for Trinity and Wheaton College. I am a native Texan, who loves the library, barbecue and football (especially the Dallas Cowboys!). By the way, did you know that Texas used to be its own country? • I started at DPL in 2013 as an assistant when I was a student at Trinity. Working with the public was the perfect job to balance with my studies, and in 2018, I accepted the promotion to my current position. Lance Patron Services Assistant Manager • Currently reading: Hell Followed With Us by Andrew Joseph White. • Fun fact: During my free time, I enjoy doing cross stitch projects. Right now, I’m working on a cross stitch of the beloved dog of a DPL colleague. Sam • I was hired in 2018 as a Library Aide, and soon after enrolled to earn my Masters in Library Science from the University of Illinois. Now I maintain our movie, music and video game collections, as well as the Library of Things collection. I enjoy defying the expectations of the things our community can check out from a library! Multimedia Librarian • Currently watching/playing: The Last of Us • Fun Fact: 90% of my free time is spent playing Dungeons & Dragons. My favorite class is cleric! Also, you may see me running around town training for my next half marathon. • I’ve been with the library for the past decade, and am excited for the next decade! If you’ve ever had a local history question, I probably found the answer for you! Anne Adult Services Assistant Manager • Currently reading: The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien, and The Complete Works of St. John of the Cross. • Fun fact: I studied Near-Eastern Archaeology and enjoy going on excavations in Israel. • My favorite thing about the library is our patrons. Life can be tough, and we work hard to meet you where you are at, and help where we can. This can include sitting down together for one-onone tech help, and also my monthly delivery of materials for our homebound patrons. Chase 10 Adult Services Associate � • Currently reading: Aniana del Mar Jumps In by Jasminne Mendez. • Fun fact: I knit and crochet, and the first knitting project I ever finished was an exact replica of the scarf that Tom Baker wore as Doctor Who – it’s a 13 foot long scarf! • As one of the newer staff members, I really have enjoyed my time at DPL and felt welcomed right away. My favorite thing about my role is that I get to help with collection development for the juvenile books and graphic novels. I joke that I still only read kids books for my job, but really it’s my favorite age range. The only reason I met my 100 book reading goal last year was because I read 50% graphic novels! Emily Youth Services Assistant Manager • Currently reading: an Advanced Reader Copy (pre-publication) of Lei and the Fire Goddess by Malia Maunakea. • Fun fact: I love creating handmade cards; last year, I sent out 100 cards! Kary • I’ve been doing storytimes and working with the amazing early childhood educators in Deerfield for 15 years now! It’s also a joy to collaborate with the DPS 109 librarians and staff and do booktalks and other programs for the students. We’re lucky to have such wonderful educators in Deerfield. School Outreach Coordinator • Currently listening to: Three Feet High And Rising by De La Soul. • Fun fact: I am a musician, and have been active in the punk music scene for almost 30 years. • For my first decade at DPL, I worked in Adult Services and probably answered a question or two for you at the Media desk. I also coordinated Books to Go for our homebound patrons. I jumped over to the MakerSpace last year, and am having loads of fun with our staff and creative visitors.

If so, consider donating books in good condition to us! The Friends run Deerfield’s only (used) book store, and it is all based on contributions from people like you!

All of the proceeds from our sales are directed back to library projects. Our next meeting will be June 26 at 7:00 p.m. in the library – all community members are welcome!

Participants met multiple times with DPL staff, providing the students an opportunity to learn about the Library’s summer program, discuss their artistic vision, and receive feedback throughout the design process. Many thanks DHS teachers Tim Bleck and Chris Sykora for their expert guidance.

Details on page 2 �From the Director In August 2022, the Library conducted a community survey to see how we can improve our services. This survey was the first step in updating our strategic plan. We promoted the survey on our website, social media, newsletters and in-house. We had over 520 responses. And, I’m happy to report that most of our survey respondents are satisfied with the services the Library provides. Our survey responders want more of all the things that the Library provides. Most survey takers (42%) also visit the Library once a week. (If you’re a regular reader of this column, you know that I grew up visiting my local public library branch weekly, so I appreciate that this is still a thing!) More than 360 survey takers are interested in expanding our Library of Things collection. An equal number is interested in the Library having more special STEM programs as well. We heard that people are interested in additional comfortable seating and study areas. In addition, survey takers want to learn more about the services that they didn’t know we had. We are committed to effectively promoting our resources and services, and will work creatively to meet that need. One great way to learn more about our services is through our twice monthly e-newsletter. It is a quick and informative read. If you’re not yet a subscriber, sign up today! The link is on the lower left of the front page of our website (deerfieldlibrary.org). This year, the Board will approve a new Strategic Plan using some of the data from the survey. This will help our staff continue to make DPL an even better public library. Watch our website for more information. As always, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or comments at amy@deerfieldlibrary.org. Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director DPL Tournament of Books: 10th Season! Was your vote one of the 17,441 votes cast in last year’s DPL Tournament of Books? Did your favorite book make it to the Championship Round? If not, then maybe this year a new favorite will make it to the top in what we expect to be the most exciting season ever. Yes, get ready for the 10th anniversary season of the Tournament of Books! If you’re new to the Tournament, last year readers voted for their favorite picture books, early readers, graphic novels, chapter books, juvenile fiction and non-fiction, and teen titles. Voting is open to all ages! Voting is online at deerfieldlibrary.org/tournament-of-books, and DPS 109 students can vote in their school library. In celebration of the 10th season of the Tournament, we will be introducing two new brackets: Series and Manga. The Series bracket was a suggestion from readers and experienced Tournament participants: Lucy Bohrer and Charlie Plocker, both 5th grade students at Wilmot. DPL School Outreach Coordinator Kary Henry (and Tournament coordinator) recently visited Wilmot School to get some Tournament insights from Lucy, Charlie, and the school’s Library Information Specialist, Andrea Lathan. Lucy and Charlie say they really enjoy participating in the annual event. “The Tournament gets me thinking about what genres I most like to read,” said Lucy. One of her favorites is historical fiction. Charlie also likes historical fiction, and is a fan of sports-themed fiction. “I enjoy participating in the Tournament because I find out about new titles, and end up reading books that I might otherwise not have tried out,” said Charlie. When the Tournament was first introduced in 2013, there were only 117 votes cast. But for the second year, DPL began a partnership with DPS 109, and participation grew exponentially. Ms. Henry is grateful to the schools’ Library Media Specialists: “Without their support, we would never reach this many students and garner this many votes!” A couple of frequently asked questions about the Tournament are: • How are the books selected for the initial Round of 32? They are the highest circulating books at DPL during the previous year. • How many times can you vote? As many times as you want! Charlie and Lucy both say they vote about five times per round, and a few times more for books they really love. “Yes, the competitive spirit heats up when you really love a book,” said Ms. Lathan. “I’ve seen some students vote 20-30 times for one title!” “When we are in line waiting to vote in the Tournament, we often discuss the books and find out how people plan to vote,” said Lucy. Charlie makes a point that “the discussions do not sway his vote,” and Lucy seconded that. With the tips from Lucy, Charlie, and Ms. Lathan in hand, get ready and get reading for Tournament of Books 2023. Voting starts April 4. Vote early, vote often! @ deerfieldlibrary.org/tournament-of-books 2 Wilmot students Charlie Plocker and Lucy Bohrer with Library Information Specialist Andrea Lathan at the Tournament of Books voting station in the school library. �Adult Programs For full program descriptions, visit the DPL events calendar at deerfieldlibrary.org, click on “Programs”.

I had a Trapper Keeper that had adorable puppies in which I could keep all my 5th grade assignments in impeccable order. Also, my mother was persuaded to buy me some fun glittery Lisa Frank stickers and pencils. I still occasionally pick up a new glittery pen when I take my own kids back to school shopping. The new school supplies motivated me to get ready for the upcoming school year. Best wishes to students of all ages for an engaging and inspiring school year. Fall seemed like the perfect time to survey our community about library services. It has been a few years since DPL underwent a strategic planning process and I’m excited to announce that we are commencing the process this fall! On the back cover, there is a QR code that you can scan to take a quick survey to provide us feedback on what we can do better to serve you. You can also access the survey at https://deerfieldlibrary.org/survey. Your responses will help shape our goals and budgets for years to come. DPL’s mission is to serve our community in the best possible way. After all, we are a public library and exist to serve our public. Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director The MakerSpace: Your Imagination Station In November 2019, we opened the doors to the brand new DPL MakerSpace. We were visited by many curious and creative patrons before we had to shut the doors just five months later, due to the pandemic. Soon after the closure, we were able to arrange for patrons to submit projects that staff would process. When complete, the projects could be picked up curbside. Eventually, we could have one person in at a time to use the equipment. Now, we are happy to report, our doors are fully open for appointments and walk-ins. And, oh, the projects you all have been dreaming up! At the point that Jackie Guagliardo was dreaming up party plans for her soon-to-be dentist daughter’s graduation, the previous issue of this newsletter landed in her mailbox. Jackie read about the cornucopia of creative options, and quickly made an appointment to come in and learn more about the MakerSpace. “The staff was wonderful about working through the many ideas with me,” said Jackie. “Once I learned about all the tools available, I came up with a few more ideas. The staff patiently taught me how to use the equipment, and it was loads of fun.” Jackie is pictured with a few of the party pieces. The vinyl cutter was used to make the framed table signs, as well as the white vinyl teeth on the placeholders. The laser engraver was utilized to engrave “daughter info” in the wooden bases for picture frames. The laser engraver was also used to engrave special messages and illustrations on water bottles used at each table. 2 Just ahead of Valentine’s Day, Ron Swidler created a Jackie Guagliardo and a few of her party pieces created in the MakerSpace. silhouette of his family on his computer (dogs included, of course) as a gift to his wife. Following that success, Ron returned to the MakerSpace with designs of his three brothers’ families to create a collection of silhouettes for his mom’s 80th birthday. The vinyl cutter and the MakerSpace were just the tools and team he needed. The silhouettes were cut from matte black vinyl, then mounted and framed as beautiful keepsake birthday gifts. For an upcoming 60th birthday party, a patron used the embroidery machine to create special napkins, the laser engraver for customized shot glasses, and the button machine for…buttons! What about personalized baby shower gifts, you ask? Bring in some onesies and we’ll show you how to use the vinyl cutter to create iron-on vinyl transfers. Yep, we’ve got the iron, too. A huge birthday (or graduation) banner always adds a spark to a celebration. That’s just what our large format printer is here for, and so much more! Dust off those boxes full of slides, photos, cassettes, and VHS tapes. Our popular Digital Media Lab has all you need to convert that old technology into accessible digital files. With the reopening, we expanded the MakerSpace creative team, so there is always someone here to train you on the tools that will make your ideas a reality. In addition, we have a large offering of classes for enthusiasts at all levels. See page 7 for the upcoming list of programs. Full details about the MakerSpace equipment and use, hours of operation, and access to the online reservation form are available at deerfieldlibrary.org/makerspace. Ron Swidler used the vinyl cutter to transform his silhouettes into framed family gifts. �Adult Programs For full program descriptions, visit the DPL events calendar at deerfieldlibrary.org, click on “Programs”.

One hidden gem that many people might not be familiar with is the fiscally-minded Board of Trustees, who are elected to rotating open positions every two years in local elections. The Board of Trustees serves a very important purpose. They’re responsible for setting policies for the Library to execute. In addition, they are the fiscal stewards of property taxes collected for the Library. The Library is over 97% supported by property taxes. The Library Board takes their responsibility very seriously, carrying out the Library’s mission in the most fiscally prudent manner possible. This past year, the Board actively examined the Library’s finances and funding levels. In 2022, the Library levy will be $46,881 less than 2021 due to refunding and reissuing our debt service bonds. The bond refinance savings of $458,338 over the next 10 years will start in 2022. We worked with the Village of Deerfield to refinance the general obligation bonds from our building renovation project in 2013. I’m grateful for the good stewardship of both the Library Board and the Village of Deerfield. This is how libraries thrive. Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director The Library is full of treasures, some “hidden,” some right out in the open. Some are things you can hold, and some live only in the digital realm. A few treasures are new resources, and others have been around for years. Library staff regularly surprise patrons with info about DPL treasures. Here are some staff favorites! of DPL Your Phone = Your Library Card If you have the DPL App on your phone, then you always have your library card in hand.

Video Details on pag e2 �From the Director By now, regular Browsing readers know I grew up in a family of readers, my kids are carrying on the tradition. After all, their mother is a librarian...it’s required. Last week, my daughter came home from school with the Scholastic Book Club catalog. She had circled something on every page. After she was done, my son took another colored pen and circled just as many items. Now, I’m a librarian at a great library with a robust collection! Why would I consider actually buying books? I used this as an opportunity to find out why they want to own books when I can check them out from the library. My son loves all the Percy Jackson books, and my daughter loves the series featuring “Front Desk.” They like that they have the opportunity to take their time to read it and go back to re-read it. They find comfort in the physical book themselves. I was struck by that profound sentiment from my middle school-aged children. And, I started to think about the idea of comfort. We are entering winter in Chicagoland. Some years, it feels like the winter will never end...gray days and bone-chilling cold. But, we have all found ways to comfort ourselves. In my family, it’s with books. Winter is the perfect time to hunker down and find comfort in the small things in life. Happy reading! Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director Individually, they both replied that they like owning their own books, especially if it’s a title that they particularly enjoyed. The Wide World of Video at DPL While the big world of video is always in season, for many people, winter is a time they ramp up their video viewing and gaming. To help you prepare, we want to make sure you know about the rich collections (physical and streaming) available for your winter entertainment. Video Games Are you one of the 227 million in the U.S. that play video games, solo and with others? Per a 2021 report of the Entertainment Software Association, players say gaming inspires, provides mental stimulation, and relieves stress. Our library has a large collection of games for Switch, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Wii, and WiiU. DPL staff is happy to help you discover new games in our diverse collection. Multimedia Librarian Ted Gray, who oversees the video game collection, loves the sports games like MLB The Show, and FIFA. Also, the big open world games like Skyrim, Fallout, and Red Dead Redemption. Adult Services Librarian Anne Jamieson recommends Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Stardew Valley, and Sid Meier’s Civilization VI. For info on the newest additions to the collection, visit deerfieldlibrary. org/games. 2 Videos (Movies, Documentaries, Digital Media Lab: Whatever your preferred viewing platform, we’ve got it!

DPL Patron Jeanne Schlax has been utilizing the MakerSpace to digitize her collection of 80+ 8mm home movies. “We have footage going back to the 1950s. It’s important to convert the films before they fade and get too brittle,” said Jeanne. “The library staff has been very helpful training on the equipment, and I learn more each visit. This gives me peace of mind that our family stories can continue to be shared for generations to come.” Full details at deerfieldlibrary.org/ makerspace.

We have rediscovered a love for the outdoors. During the past year, we took advantage of the hidden gems of natural beauty in greater Chicagoland. However, this summer, we ventured to Rocky Mountain National Park. I’m thrilled to see my children’s reactions to these huge mountains and their energetic enthusiasm to climb to the top! We’ve spent a fair amount of time on this trip driving, and you really get a sense of the vastly different landscape of our country. Of course, I had to pay a visit to a local library as well. Sure, we all serve different communities, but I’ve found in my decades-long career that we all aim to best serve our unique communities. During my conversation with the librarian, I was struck by our approach to similar services. This particular library had a Library of Things collection and they too can’t keep their Wi-Fi hotspots on the shelf! For this trip, I relied heavily on our Library’s Libby and Hoopla apps. If you’re unfamiliar with these services, I can’t recommend them enough. As a librarian, I am thrilled that my kids also love to read. (I think if they didn’t, my “librarian” card would be revoked!) They are thrilled with the comic book selection on Hoopla. On this trip, access to e-books and videos was a lifesaver. It warmed my heart to see my kiddos downloading their books to read on the plane. I’ve always equated fall with a new beginning. We continue to look forward and have learned from the past year. We welcome seeing our community inside the building, while reading and supporting each other. Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director Welcome Back to New and Old Favorites at DPL After a quick pivot when the library building closed on March 13, 2020, the reimagined, reengineered DPL was back up and running. For many months, it was virtual and touchless only. popular demand, we are going to continue with Grab & Go. Check our website for pickup locations at the Library. Now that we are back to our full schedule, seven days a week, let’s get more fully reacquainted. Following is info about new services created during the pandemic, as well as reminders about returning and ongoing activities. We are so happy to have you back! great book or video. Simply fill out a Personalized Picks form (Adults or Kids/Teens), and a librarian will send you a list of books or movies/television shows that are carefully curated for you!

While a portion of our programming will transition back to in-person, for convenience, some programs will continue online. Cooking programs turned out to be one of our most popular virtual experiences. Patrons appreciated being able to follow along with the chef in realtime in their own kitchen. From attendee Karen Grage: “Thank you again for all of the programs you put together for the library. I’ve used my instant pot quite a bit and still learned things tonight. The program worked really well over Zoom and we had a delicious dinner!...That was really fun.” Anytime Videos: The wide mix of videos on our YouTube channel includes programs for all ages. Some are recordings of live Zoom programs, and others are special programs and activities created especially for “anytime viewing.” Magicians, crafts, storytimes, technology instruction, and more. Check it out at: www.youtube.com/user/DeerfieldLibrary/videos. Grab & Go Kits: People went wild for our Grab & Go crafts! They really made an impact during our stay-at home time. Due to 2 Personalized Picks: We’re ready to help you find your next Study Rooms & Computers: Study rooms and computers are again available in the Youth and Adult departments. The rooms and computers are available on a first come, first serve basis. Curbside Pickup: When the building was fully closed, we averaged 120 touch-free pickups a day. Curbside regular David Julis shared: “Our family enjoyed the ease and convenience of scheduling pick-up times throughout the day so that we could continue to enjoy reading new and different books!” Now that the building is fully open, the demand for this service is much lower. But we still plan to continue the service for the foreseeable future, and it is currently available Monday-Friday, 10 a.m -12:00 p.m. Adult Books to Go: Yes, we can bring the library to you! Books to Go is a free monthly service for anyone living in the Deerfield Public Library service area who can’t get to the Library due to illness or limiting physical conditions.

These free one-on-ones and check-ins are provided via phone, email, Skype, or Zoom. For more information contact Vicki at vkarlovsky@deerfieldlibrary.org or leave a message at 847-580-8938. PLACE Programs: PLACE stands for Public Library Access and Community for Everyone. These social and educational programs are for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as their parents and caregivers. See page 3 for details about the monthly evenings of friendship and fun. Youth & Teens Read-Along Collection: This brand new collection will include Playaway picture bookpacks, as well as Wonderbooks and Vox Books. These new titles combine a traditional printed picture book with a built-in audio recording, perfect for kids who can’t read to themselves yet, or for anyone who wants to listen to a story! Each book can be replayed dozens of times without being recharged. And don’t worry about recharging them yourself—we’ll take care of that when it is returned. Launchpads: A great way to keep kids engaged and learning all year round. Each tablet comes pre-loaded with themed educational games and activities for specific age groups. Stop by and check them out, and feel free to ask the Youth staff for recommendations. Stay & Play: To support safe play, loose toys and games are still put away. Instead, while in the library, one family group at a (cont. from page 2) time can use a Stay & Play box. There are many different themed boxes with a variety of creative activities. You might want to check out one of the boxes with kinetic sand! The boxes are kept at the Youth Services desk, and are quarantined after every use. Teen Book Discussions: Deerfield teens continued to be active readers throughout the pandemic. Book group regulars Liam and Lucas Ford shared that the move from in-person to a virtual platform still provided a fun time and generated lots of interesting discussions. When asked for a book recommendation from the past year, they gave four thumbs up for Black Wings Beating by Alex London. DPS 109 Partnership: Literary Scavenger Hunt! DPL School Outreach Coordinator Kary Henry partners with DPS 109 school librarians throughout the school year on a variety of engaging projects. During this unique school year, one new online adventure Wilmot students (grades 3-5) got to participate in was a literary scavenger hunt! During the live 30 minute online hunt the rules were: Don’t leave the house to find the object, don’t take anything breakable, and put everything back where it belongs. After Kary showed the cover of a book popular in their school library, and told them the related object to find, students ran to find a fitting example and back to the screen to share. What did they go looking for? One example, for a book about the Titanic, the students had to find something that could float. One of the most surprising items presented: When the students went in search of something that makes noise, one student returned with his baby brother! Everyone got a laugh out of that – even the little brother! This is just a handful of what we have to offer. But you library lovers know that! Feel free to be in touch with any questions.

Hats off to all our wonderful S.T.A.R. volunteers for making the library’s summer so productive and fun! Faced with a different type of volunteering than in previous years (virtual and touch-free), teens lent their talents to creating art pieces, including book covers, writing blog articles and Instagram Spotlight reviews of books, and putting kits together for programs. Ten teens served as Book Buddies, partnering with a young student and reading together on Zoom. Our teen volunteers really helped to color our world with reading this summer! Many thanks to the Friends of the Deerfield Public Library for their sponsorship of a huge rainbow of summer projects. This included sponsorship of the month-long Queer Poem-aDay project (deerfieldlibrary.org/queerpoemaday), supplies for the Kindness Garden kits, and prizes for the Summer Reading Program. Their support made it possible to provide our community with a wide variety of new insights and experiences. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Subscribe to our e-news at deerfieldlibrary.org/newsletters �From the Director In 2020, DPL had the opportunity to introduce some new services. Curbside service was one of the best things that came from 2020! In a very short time, we had over 10,000 items checked out and picked up using this brand new service. Our resourceful staff continue to provide this service, alternating with when the building is open for browsing. If you haven’t experienced curbside, you can find more information at deerfieldlibrary.org/curbside-pickup. Staff also learned that with modern technology, we can work with patrons remotely to complete simple tasks such as renewing library cards or even issuing new cards. Once a patron completes the online form, a Patron Services staff member will call to set up a virtual appointment. After the process is complete, we can provide the card number for immediate use of our electronic resources, and the physical card is sent out via the mail. Find details and the application form at deerfieldlibrary.org/patron-registration. The pandemic left many people feeling isolated and disconnected, and many senior citizens and persons with disabilities lost critical social and educational lifelines. With that in mind, soon after closing in 2020, we began offering the Library Lifeline service for free one-on-ones and checkins. These are provided via phone, email, or a virtual platform. We average about 20-25 monthly appointments, and plan to continue this popular service. Read more about the Library Lifeline at deerfieldlibrary.org/accessibility. Finally, we saw a huge increase in program attendance. We always knew that the community loved our programs and this past year has affirmed that. Our staff learned quickly how to offer virtual programs for patrons of all ages. In 2020, nearly 100,000 people attended a program either live online or watched a pre-recorded program. We continue to move forward and look forward to continuing to serve our community. Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director Reading Colors Your World: Explore Art and the Beauty in Diversity The broad motif of “colors” provides a context for community members of all ages to be creative, try new things, explore art, and find beauty in diversity.

The Library-curated tours, which cover Deerfield from its founding days to the present, can all be accessed on the Library’s website at deerfieldlibrary.org/localtours. Guide maps and tour information also available at the Library (lower level). Deerfield Public Art Audio and Virtual Tours Our guided walking tour explores the sculptures and paintings publicly on display in Deerfield.

Deerfield Cemetery Tour The Library, in cooperation with the Deerfield Cemetery Commission created two historical “inside the gates” self-guided audio tours. The Cemetery is the resting place of some of the first residents of Deerfield, and is an engaging way to learn about the history of Deerfield. The Veterans Tour includes those from every war from the War of 1812 to Vietnam. The majority of our veterans are from the Civil War, and all fought for the Union. Additional support for these tours was provided by the American Legion Post 738 and the Deerfield Area Historical Society. Please enter and exit through the front gate on Waukegan Rd. Deerfield Train Station Tour The historic Deerfield Road Train Station is the only building in Deerfield on the National Register of Historic Places.

Masks are required with additional safety protocols in place. • Maker Video Tutorials: Pick up a new skill with software tutorials created by DPL staff. Where to start?
