Returning with my own child thirty years later, it all came rushing back as we neared the door, tickets in our hands and excite­ ment in our hearts. Fast-forward to this summer: our Library staff is finding so many creative ways to bring the circus to life through our summer reading programs. While we can’t quite bring all the excitement of the circus to you this summer, we can offer you music from all corners of the globe, exotic animals leaping off the pages into your imagination, and stories and events to stir your senses on all levels, whether you are an adult or a child. Just as circuses bring it all together under the Big Top, so libraries bring it all together under one roof! (And sometimes libraries even have a Big Top, as you will find in our Youth Services department this summer.) You can’t take the circus home with you, but much of what we offer can be enjoyed anywhere you are this summer! So, come and make wonderful libraiy memories a part of your summer. ?3, Nlirnbe(i The Greatest Show on Earth Monday, Jane 11 - Friday, August 3 Youth Services’ Summer Reading Program: Read Under the Big Top!

Ray Larson from the Fire Prevention Bureau trained Libraiy staff on fire safety in June. Each staff member got to tiy his or her hand at using a fire extinguisher, many for the first time. Book group members enjoyed Ellen Wolff’s thoughtful discussion of Chang-Rae Lee’s book Aloft in July. Clean Air Counts recognized the Library’s participation in its environmental efforts with a plaque on July 31. Joining Clean Air Counts means individuals and/or organizations are making a commitment to undertake voluntary efforts to reduce smog in the Chicago region by reducing emissions and conserving energy in areas related to transportation, energy, opera­ tions and maintenance, and development. The Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation approved a grant of $10,404 to the Deerfield Public Library for improving the energy efficiency of the indoor lighting systems. The grant will provide partial reimbursement for the cost of upgrading the fluorescent lighting ballasts. Through this grant, the Library will enhance lighting quality, save money, and help improve the environment. Thanks to everyone who filled out the “How Are We Doing?” survey in our last newsletter, and congratulations to our Barnes & Noble gift-card winner, Margie Stone. The surveys revealed how impor­ tant our DVDs and computer services are to you and that you recommend both the Library’s adult and children’s programs to your friends. Thank you for your comments!

We’re ablaze with all the possibilities we envi­ sioned when our Library Board and management team met recently to dis­ cuss service expectations and emerging trends in society. Now, we are using what we learned to plan for an exciting transformation. ■ One trend we are addressing is the desire for convenient, personalized services. You want your library resources and services available when you need them, not just when we are open. Now, you can place your own holds, request e-mail notifica­ tion about library materials, and down­ load e-audiobooks. You can even have program updates, new titles in your choice of interests, and the New York Times Bestseller List e-mailed to you! Not sure how? We’ll be happy to get you started. We shared the news about new Library services this fall at many community events. A presentation to the Chamber of Commerce, booths at Community Services Day and the 50+ Expo, visits to the high school, and support of Arts & Riverwoods are just a few examples of our ongoing involvement in our community. Throughout this newsletter you’ll read how partnerships with local organizations and businesses also have helped create new grant opportunities and a communi­ ty-wide book discussion. We aren’t just joiners—we’re doers! Invite us to YOUR next community event! °'e re °o, in% 23, Number 3 New Year’s Evolution What have we resolved to do even better in the New Year? The Deerfield Public Library wants to exceed your expectations! We are creating new ways to serve the community, and we’re enhancing the Library collections and services that you and your families tell us you love. Some of the innovations you will notice right away are an expanded Multimedia department, “Reading Warriors: A Guys Read Program” for boys in 3rd - 5th grade, and “One Book, One Zip Code,” a community-wide reading program for adults. Multimedia Department Did you know that Deerfield Public Library patrons checked out almost as many discs and DVDs as books last year? The Library is responding to this demand for audiovisual materials by increasing staff and services in its new Multimedia department. You’ll find • More staff members specially trained to answer your questions about movies, music, and more • Reclassified CDs to make finding the right items easier than ever (Next, we’ll reclassify the audiobooks and separate them into fiction and nonfiction.) • New formats—including *Wii games, *Playaways, and *downloadables • Multiple copies of popular items • Musical scores and media-related magazines *MediaSpeak Wii: Nintendo’s most recent video game console, distinguished by its wireless controller Playaways: Portable MP3 players preloaded with one audiobook each Downloadables: Text or audio files that can be downloaded to your computer and enjoyed at home or transferred to a portable device Reading Warriors: A Guys Read Program Girls continued to outperform boys in reading this year, according to a recent national study. Deerfield Public Library wants to address that trend and encour­ age reading and library use among elementary school boys next year, with pro­ grams and services supported by a Library Services and Technology Act grant of $2,876. The Library will use funds awarded to “Reading Warriors: A Guys Read Program” to survey boys in 3rd—5th grades on their reading preferences; offer a workshop led by an expert on boys’ literacy for parents and teachers; and increase the number of “boy-friendly” books, booklists, and programs the Library provides. �Adult Programs Programs are free and open to the public.

Our first project is to raise $1,200 to purchase Playaways, ready-to-go digital audiobooks which are about the size of a deck of cards. Our group has been involved in several activities to establish our presence in the community. To introduce ourselves to the community and provide information about our group, we assisted the Library with several of their events. We maintain the book spinner at the Deerfield Train Station, which has provided hundreds of free used books to commuters. In September we had a booth at the Farmer’s Market and at Deerfield Community Days. In addition, we recently assumed responsi­ bility for the sale and maintenance of the ongoing used book sale at the Library. Please help us in our efforts to assist the Deerfield Public Library by becoming an annual member of the Friends for $15 or more. We welcome and appreciate all donations.

What’s the Solution? Parents and teachers concerned with the question, “How can we get boys to read?" will want to hear award-winning author Marc Aronson’s answers. Aronson believes the key to helping boys succeed at reading is to find out what interests them. He says, “But we do the opposite. We treat reading as novel reading and tell boys who like facts, battles, sports magazines, websites, or fantasy that they are not readers.” In this presentation, Dr. Aronson shows how to build bridges to reading by seeing boys for who they are. Monday, March 10, 7 p.m. Space is limited. Author Marc Aronson To make reservations, please call 847-945-3311. We also take special pleasure in bring­ ing the Library out into the community.

The funds were used primarily for certain types of children’s books and to promote reading for children. The fund grew over the years as other family members contributed. Although the fund was terminated in 2006 many children’s books continued to receive the memorial nameplate. Today, there are dozens of these titles. To show appreciation for the Simon family’s gen­ erosity through the years, the Youth Services department recently created a special display of some of the Simon Fund memorial books, which are available for check-out. The display, updated regularly, will run through May 2008.

Our steadfast Head of Reference, Judy Hortin, is retiring after nearly twenty years of dedicated service to our com­ munity and library. Never one to draw attention to herself, Judy wants to slip quietly out the door without fanfare. Nevertheless, we know many of you will miss her nearly as much as we will, so we pay special tribute to her in our newsletter. Thank you, Judy, for the strong example you have set of excellent service and professionalism. “A person’s a person, no matter how small. ” — Dr. Seuss, Horton Hears a Who! r. s4tx\ “There are no small questions. ” — Judy Hortin When Judy Hortin retires from her position as Head of Reference at the end of the summer, it’s the stories of the people she’s worked with and helped, not the ones printed in books, that will mean the most to her. “What I’ll miss most is the mix of working with people and the intellectual stimulation of the brain. I really eryoy being around people who care about the same things that I do—cultural pursuits,” said Hortin. Iron Chef Deerfield Which teen’s cuisine reigns supreme?

One of Judy’s most lasting contributions to Deerfield Public Library’s cultural archive will be her fearless, and often funny, song stylings—a children’s classic at the holidays, custom lyrics to a popular tune, some Civil War ditty that she claims she dug up while answering a reference question. Library Director Mary Pergander thanks Judy for “the strong example she has set of excellent service and professionalism.” Judy’s patience, kindness, sense of fun, and passion for helping others will remain models for all who had the great joy of working with her.

The grant and additional local funding allowed us to offer several boy-target­ ed reading programs.

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.

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.

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.

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!
