A Vision for the
Library
by Don Van Arsdale, Deeifield Library
Trustee, Chair of the Long Range
Planning Committee (and Director of
the Winnetka Community House)
D
aniel Burnham said
“make no small plans
as they have no power
to fire men’s souls”. Due in part to
Mr. Burnham’s foresight and
vision, we enjoy Chicago as one of
the truly great cites in the world.
Ten years ago, the Deerfield Public
Library Board of Trustees and staff
created a Master Plan for the
library. Using community input,
this process resulted in a plan
which improved the library facility
in many significant ways. Some of
these improvements include: the
opening up and renovation of the
lower level resulting in the Tom
Parfitt Adult Fiction Room, the
installation of a public elevator,
Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) improvements, renovation of
the children’s reading room, instal
lation of a new computer system,
remodeling of the front lobby and
the purchase of new materials.

Board President Sue Benn Retires
We are grateful to Sue Benn who has served on
the Deerfield Library Board of Trustees for 27
years and as president for the past twelve of
those years. In April she will step down from her
post. Originally appointed to the Board, she
became interested in the library while working on
book sales with the Library Friends Group.
Subsequently, she ran for office and won four
elections, each requiring six year terms. She has
particularly enjoyed the board work because of
the variety of personalities and friends she’s
made along the way.

Sue Benn
She has observed many changes in the Village since moving here in 1955
and raising her three children in Deerfield. “Life was simpler then,” she said
“yet there has been continuity in the library. It’s like raising a child; you
don’t notice the growth because you are so close to it.” She has overseen a
new roof, boiler system, major building renovation, ongoing computer tech
nology, policy changes and the challenge of making best use of available
space. Her fondest accomplishment has been hiring and supporting Jack
Hicks as administrative librarian. “Jack has hired an excellent staff, main
tains contact with the Village, the library profession, computers and a myri
ad of details.” Having worked so closely with staff and board on so many
projects she feels she is leaving a family. She modestly says of her years on
the board— “I got more than I gave.”
An active community member, Sue was elected 2002 “Volunteer of the
Year” at the Chicago Botanic Garden, and has many interests. She and her
husband Walt particularly enjoy trips to visit her children. She plans to keep
a close eye on the library’s future and to continue visiting almost daily as
she does now. (She might even volunteer again for the “sticky job” of.
lemonade service in the library which she has done every year for July 4th
Family Day).
On April 1 the Village will hold an election for a total of three openings on
the library board.

�A Vision for the Library
Continued from page I
The current Board of Trustees began a new long range plan
in 2001. Once again, we are looking to our residents for
input on how the library can serve your needs in the future.
We want to solicit your ideas about our services, materials,
hours, staff, programs, and facilities.
Your thoughts and opinions are essential to the success of
our plan. If you are contacted by POL, please take the 5-10
minutes to complete the telephone survey. If you are con
tacted to participate in a focus group, please consider say
ing yes.
We have contracted with the Public Opinion Laboratory
(POL) of Northern Illinois University to conduct a telephone
survey. Additionally, POL will conduct a series of focus
groups where we will delve into the information gleaned
from the telephone survey. We will listen and consider the
results of these conversations as we begin planning and
visioning the future of the Deerfield Public Library.
The library services are here for your enjoyment. We know
you want this to be an excellent community resource. We
want to position this library to meet the needs of current
and future patrons. Like Daniel Burhnam, we understand
that to prepare for the future, you must plan for the future.
Shelving in the “West Wing" main floor of the library has been
remodeled for videos, DVD's, CD's and audio books. Now there is
space to grow and to increase our collections. If you have any
trouble locating materials, please ask a reference librarian for
assistance.

□ Reminder: If you do not have your library card with you or your library card
has expired, you will have to have some type of approved identification before
you can check out materials or update your library card. Proper ID: driver’s
license, checkbook, voter registration or utility bill.
□ We have a checkout limit of five items on a subject—per family. This is to
insure that all of our patrons will have access to our materials. (Often school
assignments and other circumstances create sudden heavy demand beyond the
stretch of our collection).
□ Our unique card-operated Internet service is free to anyone 18 or older and
youth with signed parental permission. There is a one time sign up; your library
card is then scanned and you are eligible to use the Internet for up to one hour
per day. If you live in another community and do not have a library card, bring
ID and we will provide you with a special card. There are five Internet stations
in Reference plus a sixth 15 minute express station. In Youth Services there are
two stations. (Your library card must be current and free from fines!).

The library’s subscription to the Physicians Desk Reference online database allows
you to search free of charge for information on both brand name and generic drugs
and to check for drug interactions, adverse reactions, etc. If you have a Deerfield
Library card and an Internet connection, now you can find this information from
home or work without coming to the library — especially handy for those home sick!
Of course at the library anyone — with or without a Deerfield card — can use both
the database and the print book version of PDR.

Our Heartland Celebration!
You are Welcome to Attend, 2pm, Sunday, March 21.
The Unveiling of the Lars-Birger Sponberg Painting
A resident of Deerfield for over 50 years, artist Lars-Birger Sponberg has painted a
Midwest landscape that is gracing the wall above our Circulation Desk, the
first thing you see as you enter the library. Sponberg’s career spans nine
decades, and his work has been shown in solo exhibits and group shows in
the Chicago area, Sweden and New York and can be found in numerous
private and corporate collections.
Most recently he has painted “Midwest landscapes” as seen from the road
side. They invite the viewer to enter into the rural landscape on intimate
terms. The library’s painting, McHeniy County, according to Sponberg
“was in my mind for quite some time. Basically it is a real scene (near
Richmond, IL) but I’ve changed and added and done what artists do.”
His intention was to make a good painting, and the scenery is secondary.
Lars-Birger Sponberg works on
our library painting in his
Deerfield home.
Deerfield’s Peter Nye and the Chicago Blue Grass Band
Deerfield’s Peter Nye and the Chicago Blue Grass Band will entertain at the March 21
event with “slamming traditional bluegrass music with a big city wallop”. This internation
ally acclaimed group, a favorite at the Old Town School of Music, will focus on the heart
land. (See Adult Programs)
Refreshments for the afternoon will be donated by Deerfield’s Whole Foods Market.
We love Deerfield and
want the library to
be important to the
community. A focus on
Deerfield is our library’s
overriding spring theme.
As you look through our
newsletter, you will see
that we are highlighting
our community, its
citizens and its talents.
Eighth Annual Rosemary Sazonoff
Creative Writing Contest
I Love Deerfield! • March 8-April 3

�A Review of the Deerfield Public Library’s
Long Range Planning Process—2001-2004
ver the past year and a half the
library board has been working on
a plan to create a library that
serves patrons’ needs now and in the
future. We would like to share with the
community our work in progress. Our goal
is to plan for the library to continue to be a
source of pride to Deerfield.
The current library was built in 1969 to
house 61,500 items in 32,500 square feet.
Today that same space houses 180,000
volumes. At that time the library employed
14 staff. Today we employ 46 staff mem
bers. We have added music, video and
audio collections. There were no comput
erized catalogs, Internet and no cabling for
a computer network. There was no separate
fiction room. Since 1992, the library has
expanded facilities and services within the
limitations of the present building. We
have reached our space limit and cannot
adapt newer technologies or new services
to our existing structure.
Our vision statement: The Deerfield
Public Library is an educational resource,
cultural center, community gathering place,
and a gateway to technology. The library
will promote lifetime learning. We will
offer all the programs, materials, and ser
vices necessary to participate in the world
of ideas and provide our patrons with the
tools to succeed in the future.
O
Steps the board and staff have
completed:
• Formation of a long-range planning
committee
• Review of previous long term planning
committee reports
• Review of several years of suggestions
from Librarian in the Lobby
• Seminar to identify core values
• Salary Survey
• Demographic Study
• Commissioned and reviewed Space
Utilization survey by nationally
recognized library consultant Anders
Dahlgren
• Prepared technology assessment and
plan
• Public Opinion Laboratory of Northern
Illinois University designed and carried
out phone survey of over 1000 area res
idents and conducted twelve focus
groups
• Conducted a needs assessment based on
all of the above
• Anders Dahlgren prepared a detailed
strategic facilities plan, assessment of
library service goals, service delivery
options and space needs. He recom
mended the need for an 80,979 squarefoot facility with an optimum of 86,583
square feet.
The Identified space needs

on this site, or 4) find a new site.
• Identify and hire an architect to work
with Mr. Dahlgren, board and staff to
write a building program with specifics.

Across the
Librarian's Desk
r
irst of all, I would like to thank the
voters who supported the Library
referendum. They grasped that a new
library is needed in Deerfield and that it
would be an exciting resource for the whole
community, providing a wider range of
educational, cultural, and information ser
vices to everyone. Also, I would like to thank
Bill Darrow and the Friends of the Library
for their enthusiastic efforts on our behalf.
Secondly, I truly appreciate the thoughtful
endorsement of the Library referendum made
by the editorial staff of the Deerfield Review.
Diverse opinions as shown in the ballot box
are the foundation and the beauty of a
democracy. That’s why the Library chose to
go to the voters to determine if the desire to
expand the Library was reflected in the
community. After three years of planning, we
knew it was important to hear what all the
residents had to say. We had tried our best to
publicize our planning process: we had
articles in every issue of our Browsing
newsletter for the past three years and
numerous articles in the Deerfield Review,
plus our one-thousand-respondent citizen
survey and twelve focus groups. We held a
library open house and provided ample
settings for the community to ask questions.
The next step would have been to hire an
architect and a library consultant to design a
library and produce architectural plans. That
step would, by necessity, have been a very
expensive one. Before that was done, we
needed to know exactly what the residents
were willing to pay for.

25 Years of Cooperation Between the
Deerfield Schools and the Library!
Students’ lack of library know-how led Geri Spinella, (then a language arts teacher,
now assistant principal of Caruso Middle School), to consult with Jack Hicks, (then
a reference librarian, now library director) to begin a joint library instruction
program that has been running for 25 years. The program was designed to bring
students into the public library to learn how to use library resources. Jack Hicks
said, “Our goal was to widen students’ horizons for doing their assignments. We
have many resources that the schools do not have. As Deerfield Library was among
the first libraries in Illinois to
offer new information tech
nology, Geri was anxious for
students to learn new tech
nologies. Also, since we are
open evenings and weekends,
students can come in to use
library materials after school
hours...good value for
Deerfield taxpayers whose
children are in school!”
This program requires hours
of coordination between the
teacher and the librarian, scheduling times, selecting topics, and preparing many
resources. Once here the students also work with the Youth Services and
Circulation Departments. The Library welcomes this opportunity to show young
users what the public library has to offer, particularly online magazine databases
with full-text articles, available for printing or emailing. Also, the students are

reach the Library’s online databases.
This January and February eight Caruso Middle School classes came into the
Library twice for an hour each time to pursue their personal research projects.
Coordinators were Judy Hortin, Head of Reference, and Caruso language arts
teacher Leslie Gordon. Leslie, who has been with the program for 20 years, said,
“For many of our students, it is an eye opening experience to see how much they
can find in the Library on one topic.”
Both the Library and Caruso hope that this cooperative mission gives students a
skill that will serve them throughout their academic careers and beyond.

�Across the Librarian’s Desk
continued from page 1
Built in 1970, and not designed for technolo
gy, our building has reached the limits of its
structure. All available space has been used.
Starting in 1991 and ending in 1996, the
Library underwent renovations to maximize
the use of the space potential in the building
and bring it as close as possible to Americans
with Disabilities Act standards. Those
renovations were designed to give the Library ten to fifteen years
added lifespan. The goals of the remodeling have been reached but
can go no further.
Over the past three years, through surveys and resident input we
have heard clearly that our residents want the Library to remain
where it is in the center of town. We have also heard from residents
that they want more services, more meeting room space, more
programs, books and other materials. Currently, we must turn a
sympathetic but deaf ear to these requests.
The result of the vote leaves us with few immediate options other
than to redefine service within the present building. Library staff are
pursuing alternatives for the replacement of the roof membrane, air
handlers, and air conditioning condensers and compressors. These
repairs can mean expensive investment in an aging structure. The
vote also means the closing of the window of opportunity to pur
chase adjacent property for logical expansion. A number of civic
leaders have spoken about the importance of this quadrant remaining
the “governmental” quadrant, but that is now beyond Library control.
Some people have urged me to move heaven and earth to purchase
the apartment building to the north of the Library. Such a move
would break faith with the intentions of the taxpayers and is not one
I will initiate. Though loss of that land limits our future options,
frankly we do not have the resources to purchase that building—that
would take third-party intervention.
This is the first time in thirty-five years we have asked Deerfield
taxpayers to approve a referendum. The Library, in fact, has a
spotless record of operating within budget over those thirty-five
years. Much has been said about the size and cost of our proposed
library. In the past ten years, all over the United States, there has
been a renaissance of library building. At the same time more than
twenty-five libraries have been built in Chicagoland. We are very
familiar with all of this construction and the opportunities it has
brought to their communities.
These new libraries do indeed represent a point of departure over
libraries of the past. The communities that have built new libraries
have observed that in the age of Internet, the need for library service
has not diminished but has grown. Contemporary libraries are techni
cally and structurally complex buildings that are expensive. Add to
that the fact that structural steel and aluminum have risen in price
over 30% in the past year, and the cost of new libraries comes into
perspective.
We will continue to do what we have always done best: address the
needs of the community for the future and keep abreast of emerging
library trends in technology, programs, services, and materials. To
those ends the Board has been working with the Executive Service
Corps to begin work on a strategic plan that will address the future of
this building and user services, all based on progressive professional,
personal service. The Board is committed to providing vision and
leadership to ensure that the Library is not on a trajectory that could
see it fall behind libraries in neighboring communities.

Director

The Deerfield Library Board
has formed a search
committee to identify a new
director for the Deerfield
Public Library. The committee
is inviting both applications
and nominations for the
position, which requires a
master’s degree in library
science from an ALA-accredited
institution, successful experi
ence in library administration,
excellent interpersonal skills,
personal integrity and a
commitment to public service.
To receive full consideration,
nominations and applications,
with salary history, should be
received no later than April 15
and should be sent to Ken
Abosch, Chair, Search
Committee, Deerfield Public
Library, 920 Waukegan,
Deerfield, IL 60015 or
kabosch@deerfieldlibrary.org
Dedicated to the fullest meeting
of the needs of his community
of library users and fellow
professionals, Jack Hicks is one
of those few masters...visionary,
imaginative, innovative,
effective- Webster’s infinite
list of appropriate adjectives is
insufficient to describe this true
master among us.
Administrative Librarian
to Retire in June
Jack Hicks, Deerfield resident and professional librarian at the
Deerfield Library for 34 years, will retire this June. Prior to his
appointment to Library Director 18 years ago, he was head of
the Reference Department.
It has been a long road of dedicated professional service for
Hicks, whose top priority all these years has been to serve the
Deerfield community by overseeing a library of which Deerfield
residents could be proud. In 1972 the library had a collection of
30,000 books. Today there are 185,000 volumes and a world of new formats and information
technology. Over the years, Hicks remodeled, renovated and managed to make best use of avail
able space so that patrons would enjoy a serviceable and attractive environment. Our remodeled
(in 1995) separate Fiction room is a testament to Hicks’s art and his devotion to books.
With honesty, sensitivity, integrity and creativity, Hicks has brought the library to the national
spotlight as one of the finest and most innovative libraries in the country. As a reference librari
an he left no stone unturned in researching for patrons. Serving the community, he opened the
library for numerous community events, not the least of which was serving 82 gallons of free
lemonade in the library every year for Family Days. In addition to repairing the building and the
computers, constructing a puppet theater and writing its scripts, Hicks provided the first online
information retrieval system in the north suburban area and instructed other communities in its
use. He instituted “librarian in the lobby” one day each month, listened to the community’s
wants and needs and responded to them. He had a vision for a 21st century library for Deerfield,
but unfortunately that failed in the recent referendum. He has always put fiscal responsibility
first, giving taxpayers the most for their tax dollar. Deerfield Library has more books per capita
than any other north suburban library, while remaining the lowest taxing body in the Village.
He is greatly admired by professional colleagues nationwide, board and staff. No question has
been too small, no hours too long, no challenge too tough. Robert R. McClarren, a Deerfield
resident and Director Emeritus of the North Suburban Library System, said, “Dedicated to the
fullest meeting of the needs of his community of library users and fellow professionals, Jack
Hicks is one of those few masters...visionary, imaginative, innovative, effective-Webster’s
infinite list of appropriate adjectives is insufficient to describe this true master among us.”

Message from the Library
—
Director
Our mission, in part,
is to provide you
with open access to
the world of infor
mation and ideas.
Sometimes, we bring the world to you!
For example, Deerfield Public Library
is very excited to be hosting the North
Central 0 Gaugers Model Railroad
Club. Train lovers of all ages will delight
in seeing this enormous model train
layout and its villages, bridges and
flashing signals on Saturday, March 24,
from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Don’t miss it!
Another way we will bring the world to
you is through programs about “bou
tique” libraries. These are the jewels of
small, public-access libraries in the
Chicago-metro area, offering highly
specialized collections. For example, in
April we will reveal the treasures of the
Lenhardt Library of the Chicago
Botanic Garden. In May, we will spot
light Lake County’s William D. Block
Memorial Law Library and its valuable
resources. Learn about other unique
libraries in the months to come.
</°l^e
Number ^
The Trains, the Trains!
Saturday, March 24, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
The Library is the place to be when the North Central 0 Gaugers roll into town
with their gigantic 12 by 20 foot model train layout. Ring the bells, lift the gates,
load the trains, and swap stories in this daylong event for all ages. Special sur
prises include a drawing for a free small train set sure to delight any child!
The exhibition will feature a wide variety of passenger and freight trains, from
historic steamers to prototypical modern diesels. Guests of all ages will enjoy
the excitement of the sights and sounds of an interactive, operating model train
layout. Hands-on opportunities will allow attendees to experience the thrill of
running the trains wirelessly. NCOG Club members will be on hand to answer
any questions visitors may have.
Expanded Computer Services
For your convenience, we now offer in
library access to Microsoft Office prod
ucts: Word, Excel, PowerPoint and oth

ther announcements this spring.
The library now offers Microsoft Office programs such as Microsoft Word,
PowerPoint and Excel to the public. Microsoft Office is available on all public
computers designated for Internet use. Patrons may use these computers for the
Internet, Microsoft Office, or both. Internet access and Microsoft Office usage is
FREE to everyone. Deerfield cardholders and guests using these services for the
first time should register their library cards (or receive guest cards) at the
Reference Desk. Computer usage is now expanded to 90 minutes a day per person.

missed!

�Joan Bairstow, Head of
Circulation, Retires
It’s no cliche to say that Joan
Bairstow will leave her mark on
Deerfield Public Library. From
putting barcodes in books 23 years
ago to working behind the
Circulation Desk since 1985, Joan
has handled nearly every book, CD,
DVD, and video game in the
Library’s collection. She will retire
on May 25, 2007.
While raising her family in
Northfield, Joan helped create a
Friends of the Library group that
established the Northfield branch
of the Winnetka Public Library. The
branch relied largely on volunteers,
and Joan did everything from paint
ing walls to helping patrons. In
1984, she made the leap to paid
library employee when she came to
Deerfield Public Library to help
barcode the library’s collection.
After the barcoding project was
complete, Joan joined the
Circulation Department full time.
She quickly moved up to Assistant
Head of Circulation and has been
the Head of the department since
1998. Joan has eqjoyed many
aspects of her job, especially work
ing with the patrons. “Many are
friends at this point. We worry
about them when we don’t see our
regulars for awhile.”
Though she will miss being part of
special moments like helping a
child get his or her first library
card, Joan is looking forward to
the many activities her retirement
will allow her to eqjoy. Joan has
children living on both the East
and West Coasts and plans to make
frequent visits. When at home,
she’ll be taking classes and enjoy
ing her membership to the Chicago
Botanic Garden. And, her friends at
the library hope, coming back to be
waited on from the other side of
the desk.

Acknowledgments
Deerfield Public Library gratefully
acknowledges the many monetary gifts it
received through the years in memory of
Amy Simon. These donations were primarily
used to purchase materials for the Youth
Services Department “to expand knowledge of the world and its people.”
Recently, the family and friends of Olivia
Lucy Yang donated to the Youth Services
Department in Olivia’s memory. The
Library selected Asian-themed books and
language CDs for children.
In addition, the family of Carolyn Colburn
designated Deerfield Public Library as a
recipient of gifts in Ms. Colburn’s memory.
The Library has since purchased several
books in her name.
The Deerfield Woman’s Club has also regu
larly contributed toward adult books in
memory of its members.
The Library is honored to be the recipient
of these memorial gifts.

during National Library Week, and ask for a “My First Library Card’’ case. These vinyl
wallets have a space for your child to write his or her name and two pockets for carry

keep library cards clean and in one place, and the hand-written cover will make a
great keepsake once your little ones move on to big-kid purses and wallets.

Adults voted for everything from Pulitzer Prize-winner Lonesome Dove to book group
favorite My Sister's Keeper. Children, on the other hand, filled the ballot boxes to the brim
with the same beloved titles. The book with the overall largest number of votes was Harry
Potter. (Not every voter designated which Harry Potter book, but it was clear that Harry
and his friends at Hogwarts were number one with readers.) Second place was the popular
fantasy Eragon, and third place went to The Berenstain Bears.

Boys and Reading:
What’s the Problem? 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.

Aronson
To make reservations, please call 847-945-3311.
We also take special pleasure in bring
ing the Library out into the community.
With “One Book, One Zip Code,” we are
doing just that! In cooperation with our
community partners (see accompanying
article), One Book programs will occur
in convenient locations throughout the
three-village area. Our Friends group
has been pursuing service outside the
Library, as well. Their popular paper
back bookrack at the train station
provides entertaining reading materials
even for those too busy to squeeze in a
visit to the Library.
Speaking of squeezing into the
Library...
Many of you have begun to ask if there
are plans for the building itself. As
reported in thz Deerfield Review, we
love our downtown location in the
heart of the community. We are cur
rently exploring ways to reconfigure
and refresh the space we have and
considering a possible addition that
would increase our ability to meet
changing community needs and
interests. What can we do for YOU?

One Book, One Zip Code
2008: Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder
Community-wide reading programs like “One Book, One Chicago” are becoming popu
lar across the country and around the world. Last year, representatives from Deerfield,
Bannockburn, and Riverwoods began planning our first One Book program. The title
“One Book, One Zip Code” reflects our desire to make sure that everyone in the 60015
zip code feels equally invited to join this community of readers.
*
This spring we invite you to read Mountains Beyond
Mountains, by Tracy Kidder. This nonfiction bestseller
follows “the quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, the man who
would cure the world.” Kidder focuses on Farmer’s
work in Haiti and his dedication to providing preferen
tial health care options for the poor. Inspiring and
thought provoking, the book captivatingly explores the
issues of poverty, health care, and international aid.

Message from the Director
We call it “the dead of winter”...
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!

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.

The Library Board is p- .
launching increased . 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.
Open House Dates and Times
Wednesday, March 3,9 - 11 a.m.

�DVD Check Out Policy to Change
Beginning March 1, juvenile patrons (under 18) may check out any DVDs or video
games unless their guardian fills out a form restricting their borrowing privileges.
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.
Organize Your Holds
If you’re reading books in a series or don’t want to get calls or emails about a
waiting list while you’re on vacation, you can now freeze your holds in the “My
Account” feature in the Library’s online catalog. To suspend a hold, check the
“freeze” box and click “update list”.
Book Group Connect

What’s Next? 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.
This year’s remarkable selection introduces Oskar Schell, the
Zipcode
nine-year-old son of a man killed in the World Trade Center
attacks, as he searches the five boroughs of New York City for a
lock that fits a black key his father left behind.
The OBOZ Steering Committee is in the process of planning this year’s
supporting events, including a live, teleconferenced interview with the author.
If you are interested in sponsoring or presenting a program of interest to the
community, please contact Karen Kleckner at (847) 580-8950.

�Coming Soon: Blu-ray
Thanks to a generous donation from the Friends of the Deerfield Public Library,
we are currently building a collection of Blu-ray films! The new format will be
available this spring.
Attention Local Histoiy Bull'-:
/e/<?PubVc
The Friends of the Deerfield Public
Libraiy are happy to report that through
the community’s support purchasing
books from the Used Book Sale and
annual memberships, we are able to
fund the following items in 2011: partial
funding for a New Early Childhood
Literacy Station in Youth Sendees, a
substantial collection of Blu-ray discs,
and a Self-Checkout Station.
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. A Friends’ membership is
$15 per year, but any amount is welcome.
Please make checks payable to the
Friends of the Deerfield Public Library,
920 Waukegan Rd., Deerfield, IL 60015.
The Board of the Friends next meeting
will be held on April 27, 7 p.m. at the
Deerfield Public Library. Community
members and potential new volunteers
are always welcome. Please contact the
Friends at (847) 945-3311, ext. 8895 or

cookbooks again this year at the 2011

Recently, the Libraiy acquired nearly 60 years’ worth of bound Deerfield Review
newspapers, dating back to 1945. Each volume includes original articles,
photographs, obituaries, and advertisements.
Coffee, Tea, and Quiet
A new hot beverage station on the Library’s upper level now offers a wider variety
of coffee options. Coffee will sell for 25$ per cup and cups of cappuccino, mocha,
or hot chocolate are only 50$ each. This unit replaces the carafes of coffee that
were available in the Fiction Room.
Moving the busy beverage station out of the Fiction Room will help reclaim that
space for patrons looking for a quiet place to study, read, or just relax. Readers’
Sendees staff still look fonvard to talking to patrons about books; they’ll just be
using their “library voices.” Please help us keep this space one where peace and
quiet are a priority.
Did You Know? TV Turnoff Week is April 18 - 24, 2011
The Youth Services department offers a variety of games, puzzles, and coloring
pages to make your visit to the Libraiy an enjoyable one. Of course, there are also
books, recorded books, and music to check out and keep you busy without turning
on the TV! Need a recommendation? Stop by the Youth Services department!
Did You Know? Print from Home
The Library offers remote printing from any computer with Internet access.
Simply click on “Remote Printing” on the Library’s home page and send your
document to one of our print/copy stations to retrieve when you come in. Black
and white printing is 10$ a page; 25$ for color.
For the first part of this ACT Prep program, students will take a fully-proctored

WHAT?
Message from the President
Deerfield Public Library is expected to move to
Cadwell’s Corners as a temporary site during
the remodeling and expansion of the 40 year old
current library building.
The current Libraiy is 32,500 sq. ft. The
temporary home will be about 22,000 sq. ft.
Regarding our temporary library home
We have reached another milestone in our Library Improvement Project. We
are finalizing lease negotiations with the owners of the Cadwell’s Corners
shopping center. The former furniture store is the anticipated temporary home
for Deerfield Public Libraiy. We are also seeking approval from the Village of
Deerfield. The Library Board would like to thank resident Jack Frigo for his
invaluable service in guiding us through the temporary property selection process.
WHERE?
The Deerfield Public Library is currently
located at 920 Waukegan Road in Deerfield.
Cadwell’s Corners is 1.3 miles south, at the
north east corner of the intersection of
Waukegan Road and Lake Cook Road in
Deerfield. The Libraiy will occupy the far south
unit, formerly the Honquest furniture store.
The space is only two-thirds the size of our current building. Nevertheless, we
are committed to continuing quality library services while occupying our
temporary home. Through creative planning we will be able to bring our full
collections of books, movies, and music. There also will be computers for
adults and children. Some of our programs and meetings will be held off-site,
and we appreciate the cooperation of the Village, Park District, School
District 113 and local businesses to make this possible.
WHEN?
The Libraiy is expected to close its 920
Waukegan Road site in early May and reopen at
the Cadwell’s Corners site in early June.
The temporary home is expected to open in June, just in time for the Summer
Reading Clubs. Changes to that site will be minimal - just enough for safety
and comfort. We want to focus our construction dollars on the permanent
location, rather than the temporary one.
FOR MORE INFORMATION
There are many ways to learn more and follow
our progress:
• Go to our website at deerfieldlibrary.org.
Updates will be posted regularly.
• While there, sign up for Be First to Know,
our e-newsletter, and the news
will come to YOU!
• Follow us on Facebook for
updates and links.
Once we are out of our current facility, the construction work will commence
and last about a year. Then we will have the privilege of welcoming you back
to our current location.
Ken Abosch
Libraiy Board President

�E-book Demand and Collection
Continue to Grow
The library e-book checkout rose by 25 percent
in December alone! The Library’s e-book
collection continues to grow with demand as
we purchase extra copies of high-demand titles
just for Deerfield cardholders. New to e-book
borrowing? Staff are happy to help you download
a title. Please contact us with your questions,
or schedule a one-hour session with a librarian
who will walk you through the process. You can
also find handy guides to the Kindle, Nook, and
iPad on our website home page.
Deerfield Cardholders Can Now
Place Holds on DVDs
Based on community feedback, the Library has
updated its system to allow Deerfield
cardholders to place holds on DVDs. That
means if your favorite movie or the next season
of your show is checked out you can simply
request it at the library or via our online
catalog and we will call or email you when it is
available for pickup! Due to high demand, New
DVDs remain first come, first served.
Just

Library’s digital library. Come on in or give
us a call if you need help using
MyMediaMall to download to your e-reader

The Library’s Teen Advisory Board (TAB) is
looking for new members! Join the Teen
Librarian for meetings to discuss ideas for
teen programs, come up with themes and
displays for the Teen Space, offer
suggestions for developing the teen blog
and website, and brainstorm ideas for
outreach in the community. Your
participation counts as volunteer hours and
your ideas will help shape the Teen area at
the Library!
While most adult programs are on hiatus as we prepare to move to our temporary location, we
are happy to report that the Patty Turner Center and Deerfield Barnes & Noble have graciously
agreed to host library book discussions starting this April. For more staff reading recommenda
tions and book news please check out our blog, Running with Books, on our website homepage.

Book Discussions
^ The Submission by Amy Waldman
April 12,10:30 a.m. at the Patty Turner
Center
What would happen if a Muslim won a
contest to design the 9/11 memorial in
NYC? Waldman examines the controversies
that ensue by looking at the lives and
interactions of politicians, businessmen,
journalists and ordinary people.
■ The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman
April 19, 7:30 p.m. at Barnes & Noble
Deerfield
Set against the backdrop of Rome, eleven
stories follow the private lives of the
reporters, editors, and executives of an
international English language newspaper.
As the era of print gives way to the Internet
age, they struggle to keep the paper afloat.
□ The Cookbook Collector by Allegra Goodman
May 10,10:30 a.m. at the Patty Turner Center
Mix drama, love, romance and complex
characters together and you get The
Cookbook Collector. A story about two
sisters who are complete opposites leads us
to think about the ways we live our lives.
□ Little Princes: One man’s promise to
bring home the lost children of Nepal
by Conor Grennan
May 17, 7:30 p.m. at Barnes & Noble
Deerfield
While volunteering at an orphanage in
Nepal, Grennan realizes that the children
residing there were taken from their
families by human traffickers. Grennan risks
life and limb travelling through treacherous
terrain in order to reunite these abandon
children with their families.
S.T.A.R. Volunteers
S.TAR. Volunteers assist the Youth Services department with the Summer Reading
Program by taking reports from participants, passing out prizes, and engaging children in
discussion about books. If you are between the ages of 12 - 17, stop by the Youth Services
department and pick up an application. Applications will be made available starting
Monday, April 9 in the Library, and on the Children’s page of the Library Web site.
Questions? Email Nina Varma at teensemces@deerfieldlibrary.org.
Stoichiometric Coefficients and Molar Ratios
“Mom, can you help me with my homework?”
We suppose that there are some parents who might say, “Cool—first check the stoichiometric
coefficients and the molar ration.” If you’re not that parent, then you need to know about
Tutor.com, a premium service offered free by the Library that provides real homework
help from real, live tutors online. Students K -12, college-level students and adult
learners can receive help in math, social studies, English or science—including Chemistry.
Access to Tutor.com is available free through the Web site to all patrons at the
Library, and available to Deerfield Public Library cardholders from home seven days
a week from 2-9 pm.
For Teens Only — We need your feedbflLk!
Do you want to see your input reflected in the soon-to-be remodeled Teen Space? Think of
your absolute favorite place to hang out. Where is it, and what are two things that make it
so awesome?
Surveys are available now! If you are between the ages of 12 and 17, check out the
Library’s Facebook Page for a link to the survey or stop by the Teen Space in the Library
and fill out the survey in person. For more information, contact Nina Varma at teenservices@deerfieldlibrary.org.

We Remember.
t •
The Board of
Trustees and
staff of
Deerfield
Public Library
were deeply
saddened to
learn of the sudden passing of our
former, long-time library director
Jack Alan Hicks in late
December. He was hired in 1972
as a Reference Librarian, and
then served as Administrative
Librarian from 1988 until his
retirement in June of 2006. Jack
was a library icon throughout the
State, an early innovator of
library technology, and created an
experience for Deerfield Public
Library patrons which was unique
among Illinois libraries. Our
thoughts are with his family
and friends.
