community.
March, 2003
Village Comprehensive Plan
unveiled for public comment.

Plan Chair Don Van Arsdale
outlines plan for 1,000 respondent survey, focus groups.
Administrative Librarian Jack Hicks and Architect Frank Gehry
talk about the future of the Dee}field Library at
Gehry's California headquarters.
Summer, 2003
Public Opinion Laboratory of
Northern Illinois performs
survey which indicates that
residents want
1. the Library to stay in present
quadrant;
2. convenience: drive-up
access, lower shelves, wider
aisles;
3. an enlarged and diversified
Youth Services Department;
and
4. increased access to technology
and the Internet.
Winter, 2004
Library Planning Consultant
Anders Dahlgren completes two
studies, which determine
1. we need a building 50%
larger than our current one
just to efficiently house
current holdings and
services. (Current library,
built in 1969, housed 61,500
items; same space now hous
es 180,000 items.);
2. future space needs will
require an 86,000-squarefoot building.
Fall, 2003
Public Opinion Laboratory
conducts 12 focus groups to
gauge and confirm resident
needs.
Winter, 2004
Library newsletter informs the
community of the planning
process and the Library’s
vision.
May, 2004
Structural analysis of current
building and feasibility study
determine that enlarging present
building is almost impossible,
very costly and would not solve
present space problems.
July, 2004
Administrative Librarian Jack
Hicks informs the board that
the Library’s present infrastruc
ture will soon require $2
million of repair.
August, 2004
Executive Service Corps coor
dinates all findings of the past
few years into a complete
report: The Library’s Strategic
Long Range Plan.
FUTURE PLANS:
Engage a major architect,
hire a library consultant to
work with the architect,
conduct a referendum. The
community will be included
and informed of all processes
to come.

Library Puppet Theater
Celebrates 30 Years

Jack Hicks and Chris Kopeck
prepare for the 2003 show.
The Library’s Punch and Judy Players will celebrate their 30th birthday with a
performance of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic —Treasure Island - an exciting
tale of pirates Saturday, November 8 at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. (space limited, register
early!) For all ages!
The Library’s puppet theater was built in 1973 by Administrative Librarian Jack
Hicks and was intended to last no longer than two or three years. That first year the
theater was featured as the Library’s float in the Fourth of July Family Days Parade
and was the focus of a summer long puppet workshop for sixth graders in the
Youth Services Department.
What grew out of a $400 gift from the Deerfield Newcomers Club in 1973 has
'M
.1
now lasted 30 years and entertained thousands of children and their parents. Thanks
r t
v
Newcomers.
That first year saw the beginning of a repertoire puppet company—The Punch
and Judy Players—which over the years has staged hundreds of performances. The
plays remain the old standards—Sleeping Beauty, Treasure Island, Rumplestiltskin,
Puss in Boots, Beauty and the Beast, St. George and the Dragon, Pecos Bill, Frog and
Toad, Anansi the Spider, Three Billy Goats Gruff, as well as some written by Library
staff—Dinosaurs in Deerfield and Masters of the Hidden Planet.
The Punch and Judy Players themselves come from all the
Departments in the Library— Jack Hicks and Sally Brickman,
fy?
Administration; Chris Kopeck and Cindy Schilling from Youth Services;
Judy Hortin from Reference Services; Sidney Barnes, Circulation; and
many others over the past 30 years. Our puppets were all designed and
hand sewn by our Staff Artist, Betty Reschke. One of our greatest
rewards comes when young parents relate to us that they saw a perfor
mance at the Library when they were young and they have now brought
their children to see Punch and Judy.
Some people have asked why we still do puppet plays in the age of
video and computer games. Simply because puppets are a counterpoint to
Hollywood and TV. You do not need computers, play stations, Dolby,
Panavision, Rambo, Power Rangers or Bat Man to entertain children and
they get a full and steady dose of that kind of electronic entertainment
elsewhere. We are convinced that puppetry reflects literature, encourages children to read,
and makes the books they have read come alive to them. The puppets are in a child’s
scale, they are a live performance, they stimulate imagination, and they are not seen
elsewhere with any regularity. So, we invite one and all to celebrate 30 years with us as
we perform an old favorite—Treasure Island.

“This Library is Like a Great
Gift in My Life”
J
udging by the Spring, 2003 community survey prepared by the Public Opinion
Laboratory of Northern Illinois University, many area residents share the feeling of
the patron whose comments headline this article.
The POL’s random telephone survey of 1,003 library users found that the library is serv
ing the community well, with a great deal of satisfaction regarding current hours of
operation and high positive ratings. “86% of library users rate Deerfield Library as
“excellent, or very good”. Highest ratings went to a “helpful/knowledgeable staff’.
A very large 85% of respondents were library cardholders and 73% of respondents had
visited the library in the past 12 months.
How do people use the library? Five main reasons include: recreational fiction and non
fiction reading, borrowing videos, utilizing materials and programs, and using the
library reference materials.
The survey also showed that the majority of residents, regardless of length of residency
in the community, responded favorably to expansion and most preferred expansion at
the present location. A space needs study last spring by Anders Dahlgren of Library
Planning Associates found that the library (currently at 31,162 square feet and fully
used), should be 38,600 to 54,000 square feet just to meet the current needs to accom
modate a growing print and non print collection as well as to meet the needs for reader
seats, offices, library programs and story time rooms. Unfortunately vertical expansion
in the present location is complicated and difficult as the building’s roof is not stressed
for the load.
During the summer the POL conducted twelve focus groups for staff, village officials,
kids, parents, seniors, non users, younger childless residents and Riverwoods/
Bannockburn residents.
All of the information culled from the survey and focus groups will become part of a
long range plan to be developed by the library board. A long range planning committee
of the board has already devoted many hours to preparing a documented plan/vision for
the library which will best serve its thousands of users. The survey showed that patrons
see the library’s role as a cultural and intellectual community center of the village with
something to offer everyone; this will be taken into consideration in future planning.
Reference copies of the completed space needs and community survey reports are avail
able to the public at the Library’s Reference Desk.
This online subscription database is avail
able to all, free of charge, on computers in
the Deerfield Library’s Reference
Department. It is also accessible to
Deerfield Library cardholders at home or
work via the library’s website, www.deerfieldlibrary.org (Then click Online
Databases, then Infotrac and be ready to
enter your Deerfield library card number
when asked).
A useful tool for investors, business
people, consumers and students, the
Business & Company Resource Center
database includes: magazine, journal, &
newspaper articles (many full-text); indus
try overviews & rankings; and a broad
range of company information including
financials & reports. In addition to the
many periodicals indexed in full- text arti
cles, other database sources include:
American Wholesalers and Distributors
Directory, Brands and Their Companies,
Business Rankings Annual, Encyclopedia
of Associations and more. For additional
information and assistance please contact a
reference librarian.
Library Board
Deerfield resident and former library
board member Ken Abosch has been
appointed a special advisor to the
Board. When on the board he was
closely involved with the Long Range
Planning Process; in this new capac
ity he will work with the Board and
the Long Range Planning Committee
until June, 2004.
Correction! In the last newsletter
announcing our newly elected board
members, Jeff Rivlin’s place of
employment was incorrect. Jell is
presently a Director-Investments at
Oppenheimer and Co. (not Rodman
and Renshaw, where be lormerly
