That is a P' A question I field many times a day from residents interested in knowing how our construction plans are coming along. Our design process is just kicking off. The Library Board is seeking input from a variety of sources to refine the design concepts. In the near future, we will also begin the Village Commissions approval process. Consistent with our commitment to keep residents informed and involved, we are planning a community meeting this spring to share the renderings of the design to that stage. This would include the interior, exterior, landscaping, and energy plans. Please watch for announcements of the date and time. At Although actual construction is still far off, there are sounds of construction near our Circulation department as we install a RFID system for patron convenience and improved accuracy. A new interior “window” has been created. Library materials returned through that window are automatically checked in, reducing error and getting materials back to the shelves more quickly. We are also combining our Teen and Media service desks into one unit at a more convenient location for improved service. Look for our new, welcoming Information desk and hot beverage vending near the Library entrance, and patron-oriented checkout stations in Youth Services as well as at the Circulation desk. (Thanks to the Friends for purchasing the first of three new stations!) We welcome resident feedback to make these services even better in the new construction. Bottom line: We never stop seeking ways to better serve our library patrons and community. Faster, More Accurate Service with RFID and Self Check As the Library plans for a large-scale renovation project, we are making a series of service improvements that will have immediate benefits for our patrons before implementing them in a reconfigured building. We have recently put Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags in all of our materials to increase the speed and accuracy of checking items in and out of the Library. RFID will check in items instantaneously, with nearly 100% accuracy. Items will automatically be sorted upon check-in and get back on the shelves and into circulation more quickly. RFID tags will also allow patrons to quickly and easily use new checkout machines installed on the Library’s upper and lower levels. Self-check stations help patrons get their selections out the door and home to eqjoy sooner. Staff members will be available all hours of operation to assist patrons with these new stations. Patrons who require assistance with library card registration or questions about their account will now be able to take their time working with a circulation staff member away from busy checkout lanes. In addition, an Information desk near the front gates will also help patrons get speedy responses to our most frequently asked questions. Implementing RFID at this time will also greatly improve the Library’s ability to keep track of materials during an extensive renovation project. Read more about the Library’s next steps in the Message from the Director. Where’s One Book, One Zip Code? Discussions and events tailored to the 2011 community-wide \ reading program selection, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer, will take place this fall to bii© 8@©Ss coincide with the 10-year anniversary of September 11, 2001.

The Friends want to thank the community for their used book donations. The Friends continue to accept gently used hardback, paperback, and children’s books, as well as DVDs and CDs. Please bring donations to the Circulation desk at the Library7 during regular business hours. Volunteers sort and shelve these donations, and we ask households to donate only two shopping bags or boxes per week. We continue to need the support from the community with Annual Memberships.

The recent approval of the Library’s request for funding for the Library Improvement Plan is a win for everyone in Deerfield. This gives us the opportunity to improve our library building and services, which will benefit the entire community. We have begun to get questions about how soon we will proceed. There are many steps to be completed and approvals to be obtained as we move forward. For example, we need to complete the architectural designs, and then share them with Village Commissions as part of the approval process. Certain questions or concerns may require some adjustments to the design or other changes. When the approval process is final, we will need to go out to bid for construction, then evaluate the bids to assure we are getting the best value and quality for the project. At best this process will take several seasons, if all goes smoothly. We appreciate the ongoing interest of our residents, and we will continue to keep you updated via our Facebook and Website pages. We received very positive feedback about our openness during the referendum, and we plan to continue sharing our progress with you along the way. Of course you are also welcome to attend Library Board meetings, or read the minutes of these meetings on our website. Keeping you informed and involved is important to us, so please share your questions and comments along the way. Mary Pergander Library Director 'lift | THANK YOU, DEERFIELD mm ■ i r»Y ft II/ rjkLk FA wn . ‘ Lr - _U ft’ : Library Improvement Plans Move Forward The November 2 referendum for $11,775 million to fund the Library Improvement Plan was approved! Over 58.4% of Deerfield voters voted yes, with 41.5% voting against. The plan calls for improvements to the Library building and services, in order to meet the needs of Deerfield residents for the next 20 years or more. Space will be reorganized, remodeled, and expanded. The building layout will become more open and flexible to allow for changing needs and multi-purpose uses. Adults will have more quiet reading areas. Additional computers will be added for adults and children, and a new Technology Lab will offer instruction and workshops. The Youth Services area will be improved, along with a larger and better designed Youth Program Room. All restrooms will be ADA compliant. Self-check kiosks and a convenience center will be added, and the meeting room will be enlarged. The building’s aging infrastructure will be upgraded or replaced, and the parking lot will be improved. “The vote is a win for everyone in Deerfield. This gives us the opportunity to improve our Library building and services, which will benefit the entire community,” said Ken Abosch, President of the Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees. “The Library Board is grateful to eveiyone who provided ideas and feedback as we developed the Library Improvement Plan. We also want to thank Deerfield residents for the time they took to become informed about the referendum.” The Board will proceed with the Libraiy Improvement Plan in the most expedient and efficient manner possible. There are many steps involved, including finalizing architectural design, reviewing of the plans by Village commissions, completing construction documents, and bidding the various phases of construction work. It’s not possible at this time to say exactly when construction will begin. Please check the Library’s Web site for the latest information about implementation of the Library Improvement Plan. �Programs are free and open to the public.

Trustees voted to put a referendum on the November 2010 general election ballot asking for funds for the Library Improvement Plan. (See related article.) As President of the Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees, I am proud of the public process used to develop the plan. A 23-member Citizens Input Group (CIG) helped the Library Board gather and evaluate feedback about Library needs and options through a series of seven community open houses in March and June. The Board also sought input about improvement options through an independent telephone survey of community residents, as well as one-on-one conversations. As a result of what we heard, Library Trustees combined elements from several options and downsized the most ambitious improvement suggestions. The Library Improvement Plan expands on what is now available and possible. It will bring our Library into the 21st centuiy in order to provide Deerfield with the greatest possible value from this important community asset. On behalf of the Libraiy Board, I want to thank everyone who participated in this process by sharing ideas, feedback, and questions. Especially, we want to thank the members of the Citizens Input Group for being the additional eyes and ears for the Libraiy Board, by helping trustees gather input from Deerfield residents. We look forward to talking with community members over the next few months as we provide more details about the Libraiy Improvement Plan. "•WS. *6' Number 2 Library Improvement Plan Over the past year, the Libraiy Board has carefully evaluated options for improving our nearly 40-year-old libraiy building and its capacity to serve Deerfield residents. Libraiy Trustees sought input from Deerfield residents and studied how best to meet the libraiy service needs of our community now and into the future. At its July 21,2010 meeting, Libraiy Trustees reviewed all these findings and voted unanimously to seek funding through a November 2010 referendum for a Libraiy Improvement Plan. The plan will upgrade infrastructure, reconfigure and renovate existing space, and expand the Libraiy by about 10,000 square feet. The Deerfield Public Libraiy has been well used since the building opened more than 39 years ago. Since 1971, Deerfield’s population has changed and usage has increased. New types of materials, services, and technology have expanded the ways residents can use and benefit from the Libraiy. “While we’ve been able to update some services to meet changing needs, we face challenges in delivering 21st-century service from a building that was built in the last centuiy. Our residents deserve a full-service library that is better able to meet the growing demands and changing needs of our community,” said Ken Abosch, Library Board President. After considering a range of options and reviewing community input, the Libraiy Board developed a Libraiy Improvement Plan that it feels offers the greatest value in the most cost-effective manner. The project is significantly downsized from a 2004 referendum which sought to build a new libraiy. The 2010 referendum amount of $11,775 million is less than half of the amount sought in 2004. The existing building will be renovated and expanded, providing new and better spaces at a more economical cost. Exciting new areas and features will be designed for flexibility to meet changing space and patron needs into the future. The Libraiy Board plans to spend $2 million of its reserves on the project. The reserves were accumulated specifically for this type of need: to update and replace infrastructure, or other capital project needs related to the building. More information about the proposed Libraiy Improvement Plan is available on the Library’s website at www.deerfieldlibraiy.org. In addition, Public Information Meetings in September and October will provide architectural conceptual drawings and more information about the project.

The March series of Public Open Houses, the April/May telephone survey, and the Citizen Input Group have all contributed to our understanding of the perspectives, concerns, and suggestions about the future of the Library in our village. What’s next? The Library Board will review the feedback from the Open Houses, telephone survey, and Citizen Input Group. Based on these and other resources, the Library Board will select one of the original four options and begin to develop it further. They will determine a preferred course of action, and share it with the Village Board. Then, the preferred option will be shared with the community through the second series of Public Open Houses. Once again, public feedback will be collected and reviewed with the Citizen Input Group. By late summer, the Library Board will determine whether to proceed with a possible referendum. Want to learn more? Have an opinion to share? The Library Board will continue to invite participation through the next series of Public Open Houses. (See “Planning for the Future” for dates and times of the sessions.) Take a behind-thescenes tour. Learn about the issues. Compare us to other libraries. Consider the costs. To contact a Board member, call or email them using the contact information provided on the back cover of the newsletter, or the Library website. www. d eerfi e Id li bra ry.org 6- Number i Planning for the Future The Library Board is committed to keeping Deerfield residents informed about, and involved in, the future of the Library. Based upon feedback from the March series of Public Open Houses and the telephone survey conducted in April, the Library Board will select one of the four building improvement options presented and ask the architects and financial consultant to develop it further. During the next series of Public Open Houses, the selected option will be presented in more detail and additional public feedback will be sought. Each event in the series will follow the same agenda, offering residents a variety of convenient times to attend. One-hour Open Houses will be held Saturday, June 26 at 3 p.m. and Tuesday, June 29 at 7 p.m. Results of March Public Open Houses Five Public Open Houses were held in March to familiarize Deerfield residents with the Library building history and needs, additional expressed needs of the community, four possible building improvement options, and the costs projected for each option—including possible effects on a resident’s real estate taxes. About 42 members of the general public attended the sessions, and 30 completed feedback forms. In addition, members of the Citizen Input Group assisted the Board in evaluating the community feedback and provided their own perspectives at a special Board meeting held April 24. Of the four options presented, 35% preferred Option 3—Remodel and Expand, while 60% selected Option 4—Build a New Library. The remaining 5% chose Option 1 or Option 2 which provide for changes necessary to meet code, and limited other improvements. The Library Board continues to receive valuable input from the Citizen Input Group. Members are: Christine Barr, John Bartok, Cookie Center, Lorraine Clark, Lisa Crist, Betsy Eisenhauer, Luisa Ellenbogen, Brooke Fogt, Mark Fox, Mike Gruenhut, Laurie Leibowitz, Rick Lynn, Nancy O’Neill, Jean Reuther, Bob Rosenbacher, Judy Smith, Amy Thale, Jane Weinstein-Jacobson and Bruce Zimmerman. Results of Telephone Survey The Library Board hired the Northern Illinois University (NIU) Public Opinion Laboratory to conduct a telephone survey of 400 residents of Deerfield. Phone numbers were chosen at random from those assigned to the Deerfield area—they were not provided by the Library, nor did NIU have any access to the Library’s patron database. The survey was developed by NIU with Libraiy input. Results will appear on the Library's web site. The Library Board will use the findings, combined with feedback from the Open Houses and other sources, to make a decision about which building option to pursue, if any. Updates on the surveys, reports, and Board actions are available at http://www.deerfieldlibrary.org/deeifield/planning.asp. �Adult Programs Programs are free and open to the public.

A efforts to inform and seek feedback from Deerfield residents about Library needs and possibilities. During Februaiy, the Board formed a citizen input group of interested community members. In March, the Board will hold open house-style public information sessions for all interested Deerfield residents. For convenience, the days and times will vary, but the information will remain the same. The intent is to share information about the Library’s current building, infrastructure problems, programming and service limitations, future needs, and funding alternatives. In exchange, the Board will seek feedback from community members to help the Board consider and assess alternatives. In late spring, the Board will use an independent firm to conduct a scientifically-representative sample of randomly chosen residents for a telephone survey. The results will be shared with the citizen input group and others. In June and July, a second round of public information sessions will be held for all residents, to share results of the survey and other inputs, and to seek additional feedback. Through these public-engagement activities, by late summer, the Board hopes to determine which alternative may be the most attractive to community members. The Board will then decide how to proceed toward that objective, and how the project should be funded. Library Board Hosts Open House Events to Discuss Facility Options Interested community members are invited to attend one or more of the Library open houses scheduled for March. The open house will be an opportunity to learn more about the facility issues and needs, options being studied, and financing alternatives for building improvements. A formal presentation will take place at the beginning of each session; then attendees may stay for the discussion and tours. The Library Board is encouraging feedback from the community on the various Library options. Visit the Library Web site for further information and to register in advance. All sessions are at the Library.

Previously, all minors were restricted from borrowing movies or games unless a parent signed a permission slip allowing them to do so. As before, parents assume full responsibility for return, damage, fees, or fines for materials loaned, and hold the Deerfield Public Library harmless from the loan of any materials. More information and a downloadable copy of the Juvenile Video/DVD and Video Game Permission Form are available on the Library’s Web site. Plant a Seed A start-up volunteer program is taking root at the Library. The beginnings are modest - ongoing shelf maintenance . (ensuring that books are in the proper order and the shelf is clean and inviting); cleaning and sanitizing toys in the Youth Services department; disc resurfacing (a simple mechanized process to repair and clean DVDs, CDs, and game discs), and general “straightening up” in the Library. If you have a limited amount of time but want to make a big difference, contact Jody Wilson atjwilson@deerfieldlibraiy.org for more information.

This trend is repeated across the United States. At Deerfield Public Library, circulation this year is running over 22% ahead of the same period last year, and nearly 55% higher than the same period two years ago! At this rate, we expect to reach the level of 500,000 items checked out annually within the next year or so. Many of you have commented about the increased level of activity in the Library, and we are seeing increased usage via our Web-based services from home and other places as well. We hope you feel the same pride we do in the popularity of your hometown library.

The questions posed, and the Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees and architect responses are available on our Web site.

The Board is taking the current economic climate and other factors into consideration as part of the planning process. One Book, One Zip Code The 2010 “One Book, One Zip Code” selection for adults and high school students is Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi.

David Wolff served as a Deerfield Public Library Trustee for 18 years. He held the offices of President, Secretary and Treasurer. Current Library Board president Ken Abosch said, “I think Dave’s major accomplishment for the Library was his extreme focus on the physical side of the facility. He was instrumental in monitoring the well-being of the HVAC system, the roof, elevators, and other aspects of the building. He always weighed in on any maintenance contracts and/or remodeling work efforts that had to be done, given his practical knowledge of raw materials and his knowledge of contractor practices. As a result, he also was very actively involved in the remodeling of the Fiction room, the Youth Services room, and the First Floor.” Dave will certainly be missed. His cheerful laughter still rings throughout the Libraiy. Board Reports on Library Space Needs Study As Chair of the Long Range Planning Committee, I am pleased to bring you up to date on the recent architectural study of our current building and future space needs. In late June, representatives of the architectural firm PSA-Dewberry presented the Library Board with an assessment of the current building and suggestions for future improvements. The study included “peer library benchmarking”—comparisons with similar library facilities—as well as community focus groups, staff input, and a thorough evaluation of the physical plant and its mechanical, electrical, and other systems. While our building has been well maintained, it no longer meets code, and community members continue to comment on its “tired” appearance. Most importantly, the study revealed significant structural, space, and acoustical problems, as well as serious parking concerns. Responding to the Board’s request for need-based, cost-efficient ideas that could help us improve our library, PSA-Dewberry’s report included recommendations to relocate the entrance to the northwest corner of the building, expand the east and west portions of the building by about 5,000 square feet each, reconfigure interior space to increase flexibility and meet changing patron needs, and address parking concerns. The architects estimate that such a project could cost $12 to $15 million. While it is important to note that these recommendations do not constitute an actual plan, but rather a sort of “you are here” needs assessment, we are excited to share them with Deerfield residents and eager to solicit feedback on this report. We understand that public input, as well as ongoing collaboration with the Village, Park District, and other community leaders, is of critical importance in any improvement process we undertake. With this in mind, the Board of Trustees will solicit your ideas and opinions at a public forum to be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday, September 22. Because the library does not have a meeting room able to accommodate the number of community members who might wish to attend, the forum will be held at the Patty Turner Senior Center, 375 Elm St., Deerfield. Please call Libraiy Director Mary Pergander at (847) 945-3311 for more information. If you plan to attend this presentation and discussion, please register in advance at www.deeifieldlibrary.org under “Programs & Classes” or call (847)945-3311. We hope you will join us!

Can you guess the patron comment I receive most often? It is the request for drive-up book drops outside the Library. In writing, via phone, or email, even at social or business gatherings, someone always mentions this highly desired convenience. Well, our Library Trustees and staff members have heard this request loud and clear, and found a way to provide it. By the time you read this, there should be two drive-up drop boxes near the front entrance to the Library—one for books, and one for all types of audio-visual materials. I look forward to receiving your comments about them! We continue to listen. Our Board members are going to be available in our lobby and other public places such as the Farmers Market from time to time. We hope you’ll stop by and say hello. We soon will be holding public sessions to solicit your feedback about the findings of the space needs and architectural review of our building. This will be the opportunity for residents across the community to have a voice in the future plans for the Library. Please consider participating. We know it takes time to turn dreams and ideas into reality, so we continue to test ideas and learn from them. One example is the Teen area we are creating, adjacent to the Multimedia collections. We will use what we learn there to plan even better spaces and services for teens in the future. Here is one thing you won’t have long to wait for—at the end of the summer we will launch our new automation system. More about its features and conveniences are detailed in this edition. We think you’ll be amazed! Our staff members will help you test-drive the system at the Library or from home, so you can make full use of its features. We are constantly looking for ways to serve you better. We hope you believe we are succeeding. New Library Catalog Helps You Find Your Way! Find everything you need in the Library’s new online catalog of books, movies, magazine articles, and more. The new catalog “goes live” on August 18. Whether you are in the Library or surfing from home, you can er\joy this fast, easy resource on any computer at any time. The new catalog looks and acts much like what you find on your favorite retail sites. You can see book covers and reviews, ei\joy one-click searching of other area libraries, and sign up to receive alerts when new items of interest arrive at the Library. We want to reward your explor­ ing. Beginning August 18 you can use your Deerfield Public Library card to enter an online drawing for a GPS navigation system. If you haven’t used your Library card in a while, you may need to re-register at our Circulation desk. Please bring one piece of identification with your current address and we’ll be happy to update your account. In order to successfully move from one catalog to another, the Library will be closed all day Sunday, August 16 and Monday, August 17. Please do not return materials between Thursday, August 13 and Thursday, August 20. Loan periods will be extended on all items that would normally be due during that week. Architectural Review Progress Report The Deerfield Public Library Board has engaged PSA-Dewberry, an architectural and engineering firm, to evaluate our current Library and report the findings to the board and community. The process includes: • assessing the current building structure and systems, • conversing (focus groups) with representative members of the community, staff, and board about perceived current and future needs, • evaluating space needs and trends in libraries, and • comparing our library building, staffing, circulation and other key measurements with peer libraries serving similarly sized populations. A preliminary report of the building found that the structure appears solid, although the building systems need significant upgrades or replacement. In addition, building codes have changed since the 1970s when the current Library was built. The architects expect to finish the current space needs assessment and report to the board, staff, and community by summer. We plan to hold public sessions to review the architects’ findings and recommen­ dations, and to solicit your feedback. Afterward, the Library Board will determine any next steps that may take place. �ams are free and open to the {HibHo.

That dormant time -when the world appears to be asleep under the blanket of snow. H \1 fe* it Experienced gardeners know, however, that important changes are occurring in plants and animals, preparing them for spring when the world will be full of life and change. So, too, inside the Library we are busy planning our new automation system and conducting preliminary discussions about options for remodeling. Right now, there is not much to see. Nevertheless, these early steps are fundamental to help us launch the new plans during the spring and summer months. In other areas our activities are quite evident, even in the winter months. These include our expanded programs and services to children and their families, often in coordination with local schools. Staff members, including our new Teen Services Librarian, regularly visit classrooms and other student gathering places. They share books, an activity or two, and information about Internet safety. Back inside the Library, we now offer color printing and copying, for just 10 cents per page! You can even print from your own wireless laptop computer. Our staff members are happy to show you all the features and simple-to-use instructions for our new copiers and printers. In response to your requests, we also offer longer sessions on our desktop computers, if other patrons are not waiting. Even with these expanded services and programs, we are ever mindful that BOOKS are what draw many of you to the Library. Come and get a fresh armful to keep you cozy until spring is really here! < t tV}» I rary ^ ' "o, ume J J l. Number 4 2009: Listening Is an Act of Love ed. Dave Isay “... Our stories—the stories of everyday people— are as interesting and important as the celebrity stories we’re bombarded with by the media every minute of the day. If we take the time to listen, we’ll find wisdom, wonder, and poetry in the lives and stories of the people all around us.” So begins the introduction to Listening is an Act ofLove, the 2009 selection for Bannockburn, Deerfield, and Riverwoods’ “One Book, One Zip Code” community reading project. The book is a collection of some of the most meaningful of the thousands of stories collected by StoryCorps—the country’s largest oral history project—since their founding in 2003. Many other stories have run on National Public Radio. At the heart of StoryCorps is the conversation between two people who are important to each other. By helping people connect and talk about the ques­ tions that matter, the stories in this book are powerful, and sometimes, even life-changing. This spring, along with our community partners, we are pleased to present a series of programs that will support a continuing conversation about Listening Is an Act ofLove and provide opportunities for readers to share stories of their own. OBOZ Jr. 2009: Looking Back: A Book of Memories by Lois Lowry (<>{■; art/ U K )kl.\(; BACK Younger readers can also come together to share their experiences reading the same book as a com­ munity this spring.

Is there anything more welcoming? Recently, I was walking back to the Library after an evening meeting. Through the glowing panes, I saw the Library full of people engaged in a variety of ei\joyable activities. kiv Record-breaking attendance, climbing circulation figures, increasing demands for our meeting rooms and for tables throughout the building—something is going on here!! Even we have been a little surprised at these dramatic increases. No doubt the shaky economy is one reason - the Library is a terrific family-entertainment resource. We hope the many positive changes and improved access day and night, here or from home or office, are contributing factors as well. In this issue you will discover many new reasons to come to the Library and information about our plans to make it even more inviting. Be sure to see the Board’s announcement of our plans to update the Library. Whatever your plans are for the next few months, we hope that you’ll let us extend a cheery hello to you this winter. 0 111^5 Number 3 Library Board Engages Architectural Consultant Last year the Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees decided to stay in downtown Deerfield at our present location. Although it appears that our 37-year-old building is structurally sound, we continue to hear from members of the community that it is time for an update. More than just updating the worn and outdated interior, it is time to rearrange our space to make better use of the building and reconfigure it to meet the needs of our community. Included in this improvement plan is the possibility for a small addition. The Board has engaged the services of a Chicago-area architectural firm to review the current building systems and structure in detail, evaluate the use of space and evolving programming and service needs, and conduct community focus groups. The purpose of this process is to generate ideas and build consensus about the vital services and space needs of a dynamic community library. The architectural firm will use this information to develop a set of proposals to enhance our current building on Waukegan Road. These alternatives will be presented to the public for further discussion and analysis. As we write this, the dates for these activities are being planned. We invite you to watch for further announcements and we welcome your ideas and comments at any time. — Ken Abosch, Deerfield Public Library Board President —Mary Courtney; Deerfield Public Library Board Member One Book, One Zip Code The 2009 “One Book, One Zip Code” selection for adults and high school students is Listening Is an Act ofLove: Celebration of American Life from the StoryCorps Project edited by Dave Isay.

By helping people to connect and to talk about the questions that matter, the StoryCorps experience is powerful and sometimes even life-changing.
