Details on page 2 �From the Director The end of 2019 marks the conclusion of our current Strategic Plan. This plan came out of months of work in 2016. I’m so proud of all the work the Library staff has done to meet the goals outlined in the plan. By the time this edition of Browsing is delivered, the new MakerSpace will almost be completed and ready to open to the public. The MakerSpace project came from our Strategic Plan. We found out that our community was interested in more technology and hands-on programs here at the Library. By adding the MakerSpace, we are able to offer these new experiences. Watch our website, deerfieldlibrary.org/makerspace for updated information about the Grand Opening for this new space. In the upcoming year, the Library will continue to explore and expand our efforts to provide the community with open access to ideas and information in a welcoming environment. We continually evaluate our programs and services. It’s hard to believe that we are just a few months away from entering a new decade, and one that comes with an extremely important initiative: Census 2020. The Library will be working to promote and provide information about the Census. Did you know that this is the first time in history that you will be able to fill out your Census form online? An important role for a public library in the Census initiative is to provide a safe place for people to fill out the online Census form. Watch our website for more information about the 2020 Census.

One of our strongest partners is the Friends of the Deerfield Public Library. In the past 12 years, they’ve raised over $125,000 to supplement library programs and services. Most recently, they donated $25,000 for the laser engraver in the Library’s new MakerSpace. Following are just a few more examples of our many treasured partnerships. The Library has had a long-standing partnership with DPS 109. Our School Outreach Coordinator has cultivated relationships with school librarians, teachers, administrators, and students. With Jewett Park in our backyard, we have worked with the Park District staff on a variety of projects. In fact, at Jewett, there’s a bookshelf by the reception desk stocked with books selected by our Youth Services staff. We have worked with graphic design students at Deerfield High School to design our annual Summer Reading Program logo. This is the sixth year of our partnership. The logos fit our annual theme, and are used both digitally and in print. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with so many talented students. Every spring, we have a food drive to help the West Deerfield Township Food Pantry stock their shelves. Annually, from September through the end of the year, we collect winter coats for Lake County veterans and Rotary, and also take donations for the Toys for Tots program. Public libraries serve their communities in so many different ways. Nurturing our partnerships is one of them. Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director Create. Innovate. Collaborate.

Your participation in the 2020 Census is extremely important. The results will impact your life for the next 10 years. Census results determine dozens of major representation and allocation issues. This includes • Number of seats in the U.S. House (Illinois is in danger of losing 1-2 seats) • Federal funds (out of a national total of $675 billion) for: - Schools and Libraries - School meal programs - Roads and Highways - Public Transportation - Medicaid - SNAP and WIC - Housing assistance - Community services grants There will be one form per household, and will only take about 10-15 minutes to complete. Be sure to include the littlest people, too. Historically, the most under-counted are the 0-5 crowd! In 2010, it was estimated that one million children were left uncounted. The good news – it will be easier than ever to participate! There will be three ways to submit your Census form: All households should receive an invitation in the mail about March 12 with submission information. Census day is April 1, but you will be able to submit your form starting March 12. If you submit your form before April 8, there will be no need for a Census worker to knock on your door. Don’t delay! • Online / computer or mobile app (first time in history) • Phone • Paper Starting March 12, the Library will have a dedicated computer available for anyone in need of a device for online submission. For more information, visit 2020census.gov. Help us get a complete count!

Subscribe to our e-newsletter at deerfieldlibrary.org/newsletters �From the Director It’s safe to say that 2020 hasn’t been the year that many of us expected when the calendar flipped over on January 1. DPL is no exception. As a source for information as well as a community gathering place, the Library has been actively doing our part to flatten the curve of the spread of COVID-19. We closed our building to the public on March 13, 2020 and will remain closed until we feel confident that we can safely reopen the building. This was an incredibly busy day with 7,922 physical items checked out. We were so happy to see how much the community values the services we provide and how people wanted to stock up while staying at home. However, while the physical building has been closed, the Library staff have been diligently working to continue to meet the needs of the community by providing new virtual services. Staff worked quickly to establish lists of resources where people could find out information about COVID-19, recommended reading lists using our e-resources collection, digital storytimes and craft programs, an online chat feature, and book discussion groups. The Library staff are hard at work planning new and exciting programs but at this point, we aren’t sure if these programs will be in person or virtual. We will provide the most current programming information in our e-newsletter, on the DPL website, and on social media. If you are not yet subscribed to our e-newsletter, I strongly encourage you to do so at deerfieldlibrary.org/newsletters. We miss seeing everyone in person in the Library! At the time of this writing, the Library remains closed to the public and we are planning a safe, phased reopening to the community. Until that time, please continue to stay safe at home, and use our digital library resources. Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director Read Green, Live Green: A Great Way to Celebrate our Earth As we get ready to send this issue of Browsing to the printer, our Summer Reading Program plans are still “under construction.” To support the health of our community, instead of our traditional kick-off day, sign-up will all be done online. When plans are complete, full details will be posted on our website. We will send out an e-blast to let you know when we’re ready, so be sure to subscribe to the e-newsletter, deerfieldlibrary.org/newsletters.

We have experienced so many changes in the past few months and it’s hard to predict the future. I am so proud of how the library staff have pivoted to continue to provide so many services for the community. We have continued to offer a variety of programming including story times, art programs, book discussion groups for both adults and children, cooking classes, and special STEAM programs. Our community loves to read! During our building closure, we saw our average monthly e-book checkouts grow from 4,000 to nearly 7,000 checkouts in the past few months! Our digital video services, Hoopla and Kanopy, have also seen a noticeable increase in monthly checkouts. All these electronic services provide materials for adults and children. Our YouTube channel views have also increased from approximately 2,000 for the month to over 5,000 views. And, our podcast featured some great topics: The 1918 Influenza Pandemic and the Chicago Bulls connection to Deerfield. Our contactless curbside pickup has been wildly successful and we look forward to continuing that on some level as we move forward into the new world of living with COVID-19. This was a service that staff had previously discussed implementing and now was the right time to introduce it. COVID-19 is our new reality. We are planning ahead to provide for programs that can be either virtual or in person. We continue to add digital content to our collection. The DPL staff continues to serve our community with imagination, attention to detail, and a warm smile under their face masks. We look forward to the time when we can serve you both outside and inside the building.

Schedule subject to change. For current hours, see deerfieldlibrary.org/contact. For the past two years, Library staff has researched the pros and cons of overdue fines, including potential usage barriers, efficiencies, and the Library’s bottom line. A first step in this direction was the launch of automatic renewals, which decreased our overdue fine collection. Still, of our 16,301 active cardholders (DPL cardholders and reciprocal borrowers), 1,408 cards are blocked because they have more than $10 in fines and fees. Of these cards, 497 are adult cards and 668 are youth cards. After careful consideration, the Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees voted to eliminate charging overdue fines. This action will further support the Library’s commitment to open access. How will this work? Following is a brief overview, and full details will be shared on our website, social media, and e-newsletter closer to the launch date. Note: Due to COVID-19, the Library has not actively collected fines since early March 2020. In preparation for the switch over on December 1, we are in the process of retroactively eliminating fines, though replacement bills will remain on accounts. Timetable for notices in the Fine Free era will be as follows: 2 days before due: Courtesy notice will be received (email and text only). 2 days overdue: Notice sent. 7 days overdue: Notice sent. 14 days overdue: Notice sent. 21 days overdue: Notice sent and card is blocked. Until items are returned, patron will be unable to place holds, check out any materials, including the digital collection, or use the MakerSpace. 28 days overdue: Billing Notice sent for full replacement cost of item(s). If you currently have any overdue items at home, we would love to have you return them before December 1.

Carrier Route Presort Deerfield Postal Patron From the Director There is no end to the ways Mayor Harriet Rosenthal will go to support the Deerfield community, including the promotion of library services and resources. We were so lucky to be able to tap her energy and enthusiasm for the cover photo during a busy and demanding time. Mayor Rosenthal has served Deerfield as an elected official for 36 years, starting with six terms as a Village trustee. She was first elected mayor in 2009, serving three terms. Her continued dedication to service has contributed to the growth and quality of life in Deerfield. Also, the Mayor is a living encyclopedia of Deerfield history, process and procedures, and residents past and present. Her institutional knowledge, as well as her kindness, creativity, and good humor will be sorely missed. ___________________________________ As Mayor Rosenthal says, “What a Deal!” Need we point out how much money you save by checking out the latest books, movies, and music from the library? Physical or digital, it’s here for you. As seen on the cover, here are a few popular library resources you might not know about: Consumer Reports: Access articles from the web version of the popular magazine. Compare ratings for cars, computers, mattresses, and more before your next purchase. Mobile Hotspot: Not everybody has easy access to robust internet connectivity. This strong Wi-Fi connector will provide support for school, business, and entertainment. Typewriter: Time travel back, way back, through the magic of the unplugged keyboard experience. Fun for all ages. Ukelele: Bring live music into your home with this wonderful instrument and instruction book. It’s easy, light-weight, and sounds like a smile. You can find all of these items in the DPL catalog. Consumer Reports can be found at deerfieldlibrary.org/online-resources. For the other items listed above, type “Library of Things” in the catalog search box followed by the item name or just start scrolling. Also, feel free to call or email staff for assistance accessing all these special resources. This is just a nibble of the cornucopia of FREE offerings available to you at the Library. All you need is your Deerfield Public Library card. The smartest card in your wallet (or on your cell phone).

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.

R �Discover Deerfield: Local History Tours If “staycation” travel looks to be your focus for summer 2021, let the Deerfield Public Library serve as your travel guide. 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. You can download the guide map, and using along with the audio tour, take your own self-guided tour. Allow approximately 35 minutes to complete the tour. Another tour option is the 360 video tour, which includes a condensed version of the audio tour, original interviews, and historic photos. Note: The art tour was created in 2017. Updates coming soon. 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. But that only came about through the vigorous advocacy of the Deerfield Area Historical Society. Access the tour guide on the website to find out about the building and the engaging history, including a brief appearance in the movie, Risky Business.

Less than four months after the vibrant grand opening of the Library’s new MakerSpace in November 2019, the state-of-theart facility was silenced due to COVID. It wasn’t long before MakerSpace staff started reimagining the space and how it could still be a vital resource for the community. We recently re-opened the MakerSpace for limited, by appointment only, in-person sessions. But prior to this, and continuing, the staff has been working with patrons through virtual means on a variety of projects. Full details about the MakerSpace equipment and use, and access to the online appointment forms are available at deerfieldlibrary.org/makerspace. Learn more about: • MakerSpace Remote Services: Submit projects for select equipment using an online form. Our staff will then work with you to coordinate dropping off or purchasing materials, remote virtual sessions, and project pickup. Virtual sessions include one-on-one virtual appointments, design assistance, and watching your project run. • Makerspace In-person Services: Limited, single user sessions by appointment only, limited to 90 minutes. 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? A good place would be to sign up for the Virtual MakerSpace Tour, Wednesday, June 2, 1:00-2:00 p.m. Bring your questions for a live Q&A. Registration is required. Visit the DPL Event Calendar to register: https://deerfield.libnet.info/events. Check the Adult and Youth Programs in this issue for details on more upcoming MakerSpace-centered programs.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
