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.

�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.
