Page 1 of 6
�Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees
Regular Meeting Minutes
March 18, 2015
was to rebuild the Reserves to about $2 million, in anticipation of future and ongoing capital improvement
needs. Mr. Rivlin also reviewed the ladder investment plan for the Reserve Fund monies at PMA.
Mr. Rivlin explained the suggested modifications to the Investment Policy. The Committee recommends
that the Board modify the policy language to better reflect the Library's investment practices, which are
more conservative than what the current policy allows.
He reviewed the Committee's discussion about
collateral. He explained that if a collateral holding drops below A quality, it must be replaced and clarified
that the A range includes A- as well as A+.
[Item 9-b was discussed here.] Mr. Simon reviewed the approval process for Board policies, noting that the
Finance Committee had already reviewed and recommends the modified wording for the Investment Policy.
c.
Recommendation to transfer $991,000 from the General Fund to the Reserve Fund
Mr. Rivlin said that the Finance Committee recommends a transfer of $991,000 from the General Fund to

item 8.f.)
Ms. Pergander reviewed the current process.
After some discussion, it was decided that when there is a special committee related to the policy topic,
such as the Finance Committee and the Investment Policy, then that committee should review the policy
first. Some policies do not relate to another particular Board Committee and those should go directly to the
Policy Committee.
MOTION: Mr. Schriftman made a motion to approve the Finance Committee recommendations, which are to:
Approve the proposed change to routing of policies.
Adopt the proposed modifications to the Investment Policy which will result in a more conservative
investment policy, and
Transfer $991,000 from the General Fund to the Reserve Fund for the purpose of rebuilding the Reserve
Fund.
Seconded by Jeff Rivlin.
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman, and Ron Simon. The
motion was approved.

market. Ms. Carbine said that the Friends have $12,000 in reserves at this time, pledged to the Library. The
variety of books in the Friends' book area was discussed.

LIBRARY DIRECTOR REPORT
The Library Director, Ms. Mary Pergander, provided the following information:
a. Highlights from Director's written report
At the Library Board's request, in lieu of Goals 2015, Ms. Pergander created a list of recommended Next
Steps for the Board and new Director to consider for future efforts. Hoopla was successfully launched and
has been so popular that we will need to limit patron downloads. We are discussing implementing
NovelistSelect at the check-out stations, to further enhance the patron experience. Ms. Pergander recently
served as one of the editors for the Illinois State Library's new edition of Administrative Ready Reference, a
handy resource for Library staff and Boards. Eleven personalized collection letters were mailed in February,
and as a result $866 of materials were returned to the Library. Ms. Pergander reviewed the list of Current
Building and Furnishings Projects. Many of the projects are very low cost or covered by insurance. Two
others could cost $5 to $10 thousand dollars. There are over 18,000 uses of library cards by patrons every
month! The 2015 Blind Date with a book was a big hit with patrons. Over 90 books were selected, and 64%
of patrons liked their blind date book.
b. Director's Annual Report At the Board's request, instead of the complete annual summary often created at this time, a condensed
version featuring the highlights of the Library's accomplishments was shared with Board members.
c. Progress report on Policy Review 2015
The management team has a goal of having all Library policies reviewed and approved prior to the arrival of
the new Director. Even those without recommended changes or revised last year are being updated as
Policies 2015 for clarity and completeness. The process is proceeding smoothly, especially with the
suggested change to the Board-level review process.
d. Recommendation to create Pre-school Coordinator position in Youth services, within existing FTEs
The Board received an excellent report reviewing Preschool Outreach, created by Youth Associate Kary
Henry. Preschool Outreach, like School Liaison, and Teen Librarian, is a specific and highly active focus of
our Youth Department, and an expectation of our community. To better provide the focus needed,
management recommends the creation of Preschool Coordinator position, within existing FTEs. (There is an
FTE cap in place from pre-referendum.) This position would be parallel to and the same job-class as the
Adult Programming Coordinator, the Outreach Coordinator, and other Coordinator-type non-Librarian
positions. In addition, we would post this as Internal Recruitment Only, since it is NOT an addition to
employee count (FTE). Our Youth staff have been serving this need as well as possible - it is time to
formalize the role within the organization. (See Board motion below, in this section.)
e. Recommendation to reclassify most Library Page positions as Library Aides, due to evolving and expanded
duties
We have been using the 2014 LACONI Salary Survey for comparative purposes in evaluating and
recommending market-based changes to our salary ranges. In addition, Patron Services manager and
assistant manager have been conducting comparative studies of the types of responsibilities and tasks
performed by Pages and Clerks in other libraries. As a result, they have successfully demonstrated that the
work being performed routinely by persons classified as Pages at the Deerfield Public Library is more
consistent with work classified as Aide or Clerk in comparative libraries in the nearby area. Therefore, the
Page positions are recommended to be re-classified as Aide positions, and the wages of the persons
performing the tasks should be raised to the new salary level of the Aide job class. Their titles will also be
changed. Temporary position Pages, such as those who only perform shelving duties during the summer
months, and NOT the higher level routine tasks done by other Pages (now Aides), will continue to be paid at
the Page job class level and retain the Page title. All of this is consistent with the recommendation made for
the salary ranges and was reviewed by Mr. Abosch in advance. (See 9.a. for motion)

Update regarding art purchases made possible by Friends' donation
The "robot" prints for the Youth area have been ordered. Other art purchases have been postponed.
Update: Combination of lower level service desks and create seating area using existing furnishings
Plans to combine the two lower level service desks are proceeding. The move/combination is expected to
take place on April 20. Afterward, a seating area will be created where the Adult Service desk formerly
stood, allowing us to utilize excess furnishings from the Quiet Room, and resulting also in a rearrangement
of the Quiet Room spaces and furnishings.
Plans to honor outgoing board members on April 15
Outgoing board members will be honored with some special features at the April Board meeting. Since Ms.
Dembitz is unable to attend in April, we will plan to honor her at the May meeting if she can be available to
attend.
Reminder of orientation on April 26 and May 20 swearing in of new Board members
The planned orientation is scheduled for Saturday April 25th - correction from previous date. We will begin
at 9:15 am. The meeting should be over by noon.
May 20th is the first Board meeting for newly-elected Board members. Kent Street will be present to swear
them in.
Although the orientation will provide a financial overview, at the Board's suggestion additional Finance
Training will be scheduled at a later date
MOTION: Mr. Rivlin made a motion to approve the Preschool Coordinator position, seconded by Mr. Schriftman
Vote: All ayes. The motion was approved.

b. Update - GIVING button for donations, and related donation information
No further changes have been made.
c.
Update - Recruitment of new Library Director
Mr. Abosch said that the recruiter, Ms. Lynn Elam, had provided the following information: She is excited
about three candidates so far; two from the Chicago area and the third is from central Illinois. All have been
in high-level leadership roles. Also two other highly qualified candidates are considering the position. He
said that the total number of inquiries was not available.
Mr. Abosch said that the next step is to prepare sample writing documents and create dossiers. He
discussed the background check process and how any possible conflicts of interest should be openly
addressed. He announced that Ms. Miriam Pollack will assist with research and other background activities.
Potential meeting dates were discussed. It was suggested that the committee review candidates on April
20th, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. May 5 was discussed for conducting interviews, and May 12th as a fall-back date,
although not all board members will be available.
d.
Follow-up regarding automatic interior doors, survey results, quotes, and possible approval
Mr. Simon reviewed the information collected by Ms. Pergander in a survey of other area libraries and
governmental buildings regarding interior assistance opening doors. He said that no local libraries provide
this option.
Mr. Abosch asked if any door besides those to the Quiet Room were being considered and it was confirmed
that those are the only doors under consideration at this time.
Page 4 of 6

Regular Meeting Minutes
March 18, 2015
Ms. Pergander reported that the tension on the doors had been loosened, and it reduced the pressure by
about half. The members discussed ADA compliance, cost per door, other room doors, and possible
processes for obtaining assistance, if needed. It was decided that the Board has a responsibility to contact
the individual who brought the issue to their attention to see if the change made is adequate. Ms.
Pergander said she would follow-up.
e.
Update - Replacement of main electrical switch and possible insurance claim
Ms. Pergander said that the Library's insurance carrier had been contacted and will approve the claim.
There is a $1,000 deductible. It will involve closing the Library for two days to do the replacement. The
switch seems to be working at the moment. However, if the work is not scheduled, and the switch goes out,
then the Library could be closed for an extended time. There is a seven-week lead time for the necessary
parts.
MOTION: Mr. Schriftman made a motion to approve the replacement of the main electrical switch, seconded by Ms.
Luisa Ellenbogen
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman, and Ron Simon. The
motion was approved.
f.
9.
Reconsideration of policy approval cycle and possible revision
This topic was discussed earlier. See 4.c. above.
NEW BUSINESS
a. Recommendation to approve new salary schedule revisions based on LACONI 2014 survey
Ms. Pergander explained the process of developing the new salary ranges. She said that she and Mr.
Abosch, a compensation professional, had then reviewed them together.
The Board members discussed the impact of the pending changes to minimum wage. It was noted that the
Page position can go up to $10 without being too compressed with Clerk/Aide range.
Mr. Abosch provided information regarding twenty-seven other states that have already adopted revised
minimum wages and said that it is still under consideration in Illinois.
MOTION: Mr. Goldberg made a motion to approve the revised salary range schedule, seconded by Ms. Luisa
Ellenbogen
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman, and Ron Simon. The
motion was approved.
b.
Recommendation to approve policies reviewed by Finance Committee and recommended for Board
approval at its March 9 meeting, related to finance functions, as listed in the committee minutes
This item was discussed during the Treasurer's Report, in item 4-b.
c.
Reminder to submit letters of interest in Board officer positions prior to April meeting for May selection
Mr. Simon reviewed the process for nominating and electing Board officers. He reviewed past practices and
said that the Bylaws provide one-year terms for officers, and some officers can serve for more than one oneyear term if desired. However, the Bylaws state that the President cannot serve for more than two
consecutive one-year terms. Ms. Pergander reminded the Board members that officers will be elected in
May, after the new Board members are sworn in. At that time any of the Trustees can be nominated or
self-nominate for any office.

LIBRARY DIRECTOR REPORT

becoming Certified Genealogist, building issues
Our website had over 700 new visitors compared to the previous period. Tony Keaton has found a reliable,
inexpensive and permanent solution to the multiple issues of the front door locking mechanism. The solution
has been implemented and staff have expressed great appreciation that the issues are finally resolved. Two of
the three needed revisions to the Personnel Handbook have been completed and reported on elsewhere. The
development of proposed salary range changes has begun, using LACONI results. The audit preparations are
underway. We sprang a leak in the storage closet of meeting room C but caught it before damage was done.
Preventative measures were taken. (Mr. Abosch asked if anything can be installed to prevent the freezing of the
pipes. Ms. Pergander will follow-up on this.) One upper window in the Preschool pavilion mysteriously
cracked/shattered. The window was boarded up and a replacement has been ordered. Total meeting room set
ups for the month were 68. Additional assistance of about 6 hours per week is being explored. Six new groups
used the Library during the month, with 51 reservations total. The Center for Enriched Living is providing
volunteers twice a week to help dust the bookshelves. This is a vital service for us, and it is making a very
positive difference in our level of cleanliness, as well as providing valuable volunteer experience for the group.
Kary Henry coordinated our first Preschool Fair, to high acclaim by both the preschools and attendees. The
glowing reviews and a project summary were provided to the Board. Sayaka Suzuki and Judy Hoffman
represented the Library at the Lake Forest College job fair. We executed a Chamber e-blast for the small
business program, with registrations skyrocketing immediately afterward. We have contracted with a presenter
form Zingerman's to provide a half-day of customer service training for staff in late April. Support Services has
begun training staff members on serials functions, for cross-capabilities. The circulation in January was our
highest January ever recorded since we began in 2007. Similarly, there were 3,500 ebook downloads in the
month, compared to 2000 for the same month one year ago. Adult Services Librarian Anne Jamieson will be
pursuing Genealogy certification.
b.

Illinois Per Capita requirements for 2016-17
Ms. Pergander reviewed the 2015 Per Capita Grant requirements, with special focus on the Board's
responsibilities for the EDGE assessment discussions, since she will likely be gone before those take place.
Head of IT Tom Owen is completing the assessment, and can provide new leadership with the results, for

board discussion. This must be completed prior to September at the latest, so that the Grant application
reflects the completion of the requirement. Another requirement is the evaluation and fostering of
resource sharing options. Ms. Pergander recommends that the Board request that the management team
develop discussion points on this topic for the Board to evaluate and discuss.
Mr. Rivlin asked for clarification, recalling that last year he had reviewed the EDGE assessment materials for
the Board. Ms. Pergander clarified that last year we learned about assessment, now we must do it.
d. Progress report on salary schedule revisions based on LACONI 2014 survey
Ms. Pergander will bring proposed new schedules to the Board at the March meeting as planned, and will
discuss them first with Mr. Abosch.
e. Progress report on Policy review 2015 Ms. Pergander described the process to review all policies with the Board and update the complete manual
prior to her departure in May.
f. Plans regarding art purchases made possible by Friends' donation Since art-knowledgeable board members had given the green light previously, Ms. Pergander is proceeding
with a partial purchase of previously-selected art, using the money donated by the Friends.
g. Confirmation of date for honoring outgoing Board members Outgoing Board members will be honored at the April Board meeting.
h. Invitation to apply for Library Journal New Landmark Libraries Award
Upon further consideration, the Board and Ms. Pergander agreed that this award process is not feasible at
this time.
Mr. Rivlin asked about Library Journal Star Status. Ms. Pergander summarized that these are the libraries worthy
of exceptional recognition on a national level, based on four criteria used nationwide. She especially
appreciates advances such as increasing patron usage of computer services, which has moved us up in the
standings quite a bit compared to last year. There is a two to three year lag built into our reporting.
Mr. Rivlin suggested that Library might find ways to promote downloads with 4th of July Parade celebration and
library promotion.
Mr. Simon asked Ms. Pergander to confirm her final date, which will be Friday, May 29th.
8.
OLD BUSINESS
REVISED Prototype GIVE button for donations, and related donation
Ms. Pergander reviewed the changes made as requested at the last board meeting for the GIVE button,
which now says "GIVING" and is relocated in the DRAFT to the upper right of the Homepage. No content has
yet been developed, pending further approvals.
Report by Marla Dembitz on concerns expressed by Friends at recent meeting
i.
Ms. Dembitz reviewed a discussion held at the Friends' meeting regarding the Library's intention to
do passive fund raising. She explained that the Friends are concerned about causing confusion for
patrons, competition between the Library and the Friends group, tax accountability, and whether
such fund raising by the Library is too close to the recent tax referendum. She referenced the
Highland Park Library website use of a Library-based wish list as an example of the Friends'
concerns. Ms. Reich asked about the joint fund raising committee, where the Library and the
Friends could collaborate. She said the Friends may now be willing to allow usage of or support
grant opportunities which require the need of a 501(c) 3 status, which the Friends obtained several
years ago. Ms. Pergander expressed delight that the Friends may now be able to support the
Library's grant requests in this manner.
Page 3 of 6
�Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees
Regular Meeting Minutes
February 18, 2015
The board members discussed these points, explained that they feel the Board has a responsibility
to provide an avenue for different types of donations, such as bequests, and emphasized that no
competition is intended.
Ms. Pergander clarified that the website GIVING button would not link to specific wish list requests,
as it does for the Highland Park Library, but would lead to many avenues of engagement, including
giving to the Friends, honoring others with donations for books, making bequests, etc.
Ms. Reich state that she appreciated the clarification and that there had been a misunderstanding of
the Library's intentions.
ii.
Artwork donation
The Board members discussed the artwork recently offered to the Library by a private donor. The
discussion included size and whether the piece could be interpreted as having a religious message in
a public space. Members debated whether the artistic style fit the Library's image. After some
discussion, members advised the Director to decline the offered donation of artwork.
b.
Instructions to staff to reinstitute Library Trustee fee waiving and policy change
Ms. Pergander announced that the process has been reinstituted.
c.
Update - Personnel Handbook revision
Ms. Pergander reviewed the revisions, which included new wording about providing references, and
guidance regarding distracted driving. These are two of the three items the board asked to see revised.
MOTION: Mr. Michael Goldberg made a motion to approve the revisions, seconded by Ms. Dembitz.
Vote: 7 yes - Ken Abosch, Marla Bark Dembitz, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman,
and Ron Simon. The motion was approved.
d.
Next steps for recruiting new Library Director: Recommendation regarding recruiter and approval of
contract amount
Mr. Abosch reviewed the activities of the Search Committee which had recommended hiring Ms. Lynn as the
recruiter, for a contract fee of $14,000 plus expenses. He reported that this recommendation was approved
in a Special Board Meeting resolution. The Search Committee requested the authority to define the criteria
to be used in the selection process, authorize the placement of ads, and the screening of candidates. He
described the planned process going forward, which would end in a final six reviewed by the committee and
two or three finalists coming before the full board. Mr. Goldberg suggested that the whole board look at
the final six candidates. Mr. Abosch said he was fine with that change of plan, or any Board member can
attend and participate in the Search Committee activities. The final decision can be made when the process
gets closer to that point. Mr. Schriftman noted that after the election there may be a shift of perspective
among board members.
e.
Information about League of Women Voters candidate event March 15
Ms. Pergander announced that Sunday, March 15th, the League will provide an opportunity for contested
non-write-in seats to engage in a public question answering session, for both the Library and the Village
Trustee candidates. She noted that the League has said write-in candidates will not be included in the
session, although they may be introduced.
f.
Follow-up regarding automatic interior doors, survey results, quotes, and possible approval
Ms. Pergander reported her findings regarding public buildings with automatic doors. The board discussed
the cost and how many doors might need the assistance of automation. Mr. Goldberg suggested the doors
Page 4 of 6
�Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees
Regular Meeting Minutes

should be retrofitted. Mr. Abosch suggested that the Library should be professionally reviewed for this and
other ADA issues. Mr. Simon suggested that the tension on the doors might be changed. Ms. Pergander
said she would ask Dewberry about finding an ADA certified professional and determine what it costs to hire
the expert and will also call five local libraries to discover if they use any assisted-open or automatic doors
for internal spaces.
9.
g.
Update - Replacement of main electrical switch and possible insurance claim
Ms. Pergander reported that the case is being reviewed by our insurance carrier as a possible covered claim.
With seven weeks of lead time for parts, Ms. Pergander wants to move forward as soon as possible so that
the two closure dates will be in the next newsletter and the project will be completed prior to her leaving
May 29.
h.
Update - Youth Services tablets for children
As requested by the Board two months ago, Ms. Pergander provided the requested 60 day update, and
reviewed the process for checking the Nabi and iPad tablets in and out. She said that the Head of Youth
doesn't recommend any changes because parents sign them out and these tablets are not appealing to
older kids who want to also use the Internet. The Internet is not available on these tablets; they are
restricted to child-oriented materials.
NEW BUSINESS
a. Proposed dates for Trustees at Farmers Market
Ms. Pergander said that two dates are available in August: August 1 and 8. She also asked about the Board's
preference regarding the second set of choices: September or October. Mr. Schriftman said he would like to
participate and recommended September. All agreed.
b.
Proposal to combine lower level service desks and create seating area using existing furnishings
Ms. Pergander reviewed the suggested plan, which includes moving computer lines, phone lines, and she
also reviewed the benefits to patrons, including unified service location and an additional seating are to be
created where the second desk used to stand. The Board affirmed its approval of the project.
MOTION: Mr. Michael Goldberg made a motion to approve the plan to combine the lower level service desks
and provide an additional seating area, seconded by Mr. Seth Schriftman.
Vote: 7 yes - Ken Abosch, Marla Bark Dembitz, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman,
and Ron Simon. The motion was approved.
c.
Recommendation to purchase disc cleaner
Mr. Simon noted that the purchase is included in the current budget.
MOTION: Mr. Michael Goldberg made a motion to approve purchase of the proposed disc cleaner (not to
exceed $15,000), seconded by Mr. Seth Schriftman.
Vote: 7 yes - Ken Abosch, Marla Bark Dembitz, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman,
and Ron Simon. The motion was approved.

Leading from Vision to Reality
It’s hard to believe we have now been in
our new Library spaces almost a year.
During those crucial transitional years of
planning for the referendum and making
the vision of exciting new Library spaces a
reality, we were fortunate to have stable,
dedicated leadership on the Library Board.
Ken Abosch has served as President since
2008, and we invited him to share his
thoughts for this issue ofBrowsing.
Thank you, Ken, for your years of
successful leadership at the helm of the
Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees.
Mary Pergander
Library Director
In May I will be transitioning out of the
Library Board President role after having
served in this positionfor the last six
years. I will continue to be an active
member of the Board and represent the
constituents ofDeerfield and Library
patrons everywhere in creating a great
Library experience!
These last six years have seen tremendous
advancesfor the Deerfield Public Library
culminating in the wonderful renovated
facility we now all enjoy and are proud to
have in our community. The quality of
our Board members, the dedication of our
staff, the collaboration and supportfrom
Village ofDeerfield officials, and the trust
and commitment rom
f the public has
made this all possible.
I appreciate the confidence the Board has
shown in allowing me to lead this
organization and lookforward to even
greater accomplishmentsfor the Library
in the years ahead!

Promises Kept
Our year-long construction project to
bring you a 21st Century library is nearly
complete. We’ll be closing the doors at
7 N. Waukegan Road on Friday, May 24 at
6pm. We look forward to greeting you at
our Grand Reopening on Sunday, June
23 at 1:00pm. After a brief ribbon cutting
ceremony and words of greeting, we will
invite the community in to experience
the Library like never before. Want to
see the whole thing, and hear about all
the new features? Guided tours will
show you around. Use one of our new
laptop computers to explore the world.
Share our new Preschool Pavilion with
your children. Curl up with your favorite
read and enjoy the silence of our Quiet
Area for adults. Have a few overdue
books or movies? Enjoy fees and fines
amnesty for the entire first week we
are open.
The Board members and I want to thank
you for your support and patience
throughout the Library Improvement
Project. We believe you will agree it has
been worth it - with a refreshed Library
space, and informed staff members
ready to serve you. And the physical
Library isn’t the whole story - ask about
our virtual services, available whenever
and wherever you are.
We hope you will agree that the renewed
Deerfield Public Library represents
“promises kept” to our community.
We look forward to seeing you on
June 23!
Ken Abosch

Trustees

got the idea for the award-winning design.
Claire’s was one of almost 80 entries. These
were pared down to six semi-finalists and we
asked the community to vote for their
favorite. Young people 18 and under will be
able to exchange their old cards for this new
design, and adult patrons will be able to
exchange their cards for the new adult design
featuring the renovated Library building very
soon. Check the website for more details.

Message from
the Director
Thank you, Deerfield!
The recent approval of
the Library’s request for
funding for the Library
Improvement Plan is a win for everyone
in Deerfield. This gives us the
opportunity to improve our library
building and services, which will benefit
the entire community.
We have begun to get questions about
how soon we will proceed. There are
many steps to be completed and
approvals to be obtained as we move
forward. For example, we need to complete
the architectural designs, and then
share them with Village Commissions as
part of the approval process. Certain
questions or concerns may require some
adjustments to the design or other
changes. When the approval process is
final, we will need to go out to bid for
construction, then evaluate the bids to
assure we are getting the best value and
quality for the project. At best this
process will take several seasons, if all
goes smoothly.
We appreciate the ongoing interest of
our residents, and we will continue to
keep you updated via our Facebook and
Website pages. We received very positive
feedback about our openness during the
referendum, and we plan to continue
sharing our progress with you along the
way. Of course you are also welcome to
attend Library Board meetings, or read
the minutes of these meetings on our
website. Keeping you informed and
involved is important to us, so please
share your questions and comments
along the way.
Mary Pergander

Library Improvement Plans Move Forward
The November 2 referendum for $11,775 million to fund the Library Improvement
Plan was approved! Over 58.4% of Deerfield voters voted yes, with 41.5% voting against.
The plan calls for improvements to the Library building and services, in order to
meet the needs of Deerfield residents for the next 20 years or more. Space will be
reorganized, remodeled, and expanded. The building layout will become more open
and flexible to allow for changing needs and multi-purpose uses. Adults will have
more quiet reading areas. Additional computers will be added for adults and children,
and a new Technology Lab will offer instruction and workshops. The Youth Services
area will be improved, along with a larger and better designed Youth Program Room.
All restrooms will be ADA compliant. Self-check kiosks and a convenience center will
be added, and the meeting room will be enlarged. The building’s aging infrastructure
will be upgraded or replaced, and the parking lot will be improved.
“The vote is a win for everyone in Deerfield. This gives us the opportunity to improve
our Library building and services, which will benefit the entire community,” said Ken
Abosch, President of the Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees. “The Library
Board is grateful to eveiyone who provided ideas and feedback as we developed the
Library Improvement Plan. We also want to thank Deerfield residents for the time
they took to become informed about the referendum.”
The Board will proceed with the Libraiy Improvement Plan in the most expedient
and efficient manner possible. There are many steps involved, including finalizing
architectural design, reviewing of the plans by Village commissions, completing
construction documents, and bidding the various phases of construction work. It’s not
possible at this time to say exactly when construction will begin.
Please check the Library’s Web site for the latest information about implementation
of the Library Improvement Plan.

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
pleased to find that, with their library cards, they can use home internet access to
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.

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.

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.

�Across the Librarian’s Desk
Every so often you have a moment, or an
event, or you hear a song, that takes you
back in time and place. Sometimes in ajarring fashion, sometimes just a friendly
glance back. The recent death of Cyrus
Vance had both those effects on me. In
what seems like another life, a long time
ago, I and about a dozen other soldiers had
lunch with Cyrus Vance. It was one of those touchstones in life that
you remember with great clarity. I was a kid sergeant in the 8th
Infantry Division and Cyrus Vance was Under Secretary of Defense.
Memory no longer recalls what I ate for breakfast yesterday, but I
can remember clearly Cyrus Vance standing three feet away and
telling me how important my military job was. I also remember
exactly what we had for lunch, (inch-thick New York cut sirloin
never seen before or after on any of my Army chow lines.) We all
thought Cyrus Vance was impressive that day, he presented himself
well—good speaker, direct gaze, no-nonsense—talk about charisma.
Lost to memory is why he actually came to visit our unit, but he sure
did and his government led us into a dark morass.
Memory is a mystery: so much tiny detail gets stored away, but so
much just gets tossed aside by the memory process, apparently as
unnecessary to our day-to-day existence. But the special events, the
rallying points of our lives, stay with us. Defining moments like the
day we were married, when our children were bom, or when we
graduated from college or fell out of the apple tree and broke our
arms. All of these defining moments get frozen in time for later rec
ollection. I am sure they get planted because they are special—not
done everyday—one special event out of a million and one routine
days.
The Library is approaching just such a defining moment like that and
I would like to talk about it. For the past ten years the Library has
worked on upgrading and renovating every aspect of the building,
collection, programs, and services we offer. This started out with the
replacement of aging boilers but led to serious ADA remodeling, a
new accessible elevator, creating a new Fiction Room, total renova
tion of the main floor and then the Youth Services Department. The
final phase of the project was to move away from the JCPL computer
consortium and install our own computer.
In the meantime we developed and enlarged the book collection to
the point that Deerfield has the highest book-per-capita ratio of
any library on the North Shore. Programs were added and expanded, and services were extended. What guided the project from begin
ning to end was vision and a pretty durable long-range plan. But that
is now all the past. The long range planning and goal-setting that
drove us for ten years has been accomplished; now a future plan lies
ahead.
Marshall Field made a fortune and J.D. Powers has made an industry
out of the old phrase “give the lady what she wants”. The hard part is
knowing what the lady, indeed, wants. “Librarian in the Lobby” is a
program the Board added ten years ago to help us know what it is
our residents want and also how well or how poorly they think we
are doing. This project was original to this Library and has proved of
lasting benefit. Not only has the Board shown accountability and
access, but now we have a good profile of who uses the Library,
what they think about us, and how they perceive the future. We look
to the future as a great opportunity and the planning process as a way
to define what the Library is and how we serve our residents. The
new Long Range Plan will be our guide; we want you all on board.
What does this mean? First, we have no preconceived ideas as to the
destination of this plan.There will be study, focus groups, surveys,
and I am sure midnight oil burned on many long evenings before you
tell us what you want us to be. What we are looking for is mission
and goal—what we will study will be services, hours, programming,
staffing, technology, community partnerships (such as the ones we
have with AARP, the Historical Society and the National Family
Partnership) parking and access. We will also study you, our resi
dents, and we want you to help us. We will do a lot of analysis of our
strengths and weaknesses. Using our crystal ball will be the way we
try to put dimension on the future. We all know how fast technology
has changed us, who can grasp the acceleration of that change? We
will try.
What we seek is a durable and authentic game plan to take us ahead
another ten years and serve us well as the old plan did. Who will
help us? We hope all of you will to one degree or another. For
starters we have engaged the Executive Service Corps to survey staff
benefit and salary packages. What will follow will offer many oppor
tunities for community involvement. We take this process seriously,
we want no false starts, expensive failures or dark morass in our
future operations. We want to serve our residents with exactly the
programs, materials, services, and atmosphere they desire. In this era
of communication, technology and information the possibilities are
limitless.
Now, you ask what in the world does Cyrus Vance have to do with
the Library’s Long Range Plan? To me the Long Range Planning
process is like Vance’s visit. It is going to be a defining moment in
the history of this library and that memory will last, for good or ill,
for a very long time. Unlike my hazy, unclear, memory of Vance’s
motives and intentions the Library Board wants our intentions to be
clear- Yes, like Vance we want to present well, we want to speak
clearly, we
goingt0 have a direct g®2®.no nonsense, and (hope
fully) be charismatic.
Unlike the Army, we want to put steak on your plate every time you
come into the Library. We plan to involve everyone in Deerfield in
our planning process. Importantly, we don’t want anyone feeling—
“why did they do that”? We want this defining moment to be a long
lived one that is remembered like a favorite birthday.

Seventy-Five Candles on a Cake
by Sharon Greenspan Lewin, who received honorable
mention for this original poem in the recent Rosemary
Sazonoff contest. She wrote of the library’s birthday!
For the library—institution of
public learning-seventyfive candles are a tribute,
An achievement.
It incorporates the notion that we are immortal
Thru our words.
When we humans,
In Our Community,• • •
Go to blow out our birthday candles,
If there are seventy-five—we think of all those years.
Life is winding down.
Deerfield Assets for Youth
Program
This spring the library began participating
in a community-wide initiative sponsored
by the National Family Partnership of
Deerfield to emphasize important develop
mental assets for youth. The first three
assets are: a caring school climate, a caring
neighborhood and family support. Please
look at the library’s new display (east
room). Find related videos, pamphlets,
books and booklists and a poster listing
assets and how Deerfield youth scored. The
assets are also on the library’s web site:
www.deerfieldlibrary.org.
For info, contact NFP’s Lynn Tramutola,
847-940-1874.
Library Board Treasurer David
Wolff accepts the certificate from
Representative Karen May.
Why does the library live and age so gracefully?
It is home—to the words of mystical-angel inspired,
Writers, poets, jokers, illustrators—who imbue their creative
Spirit energy into print, and colored pictures, and novels.
To the poor and desolate, the abused and bemused;
It is the ability to take us away.
Historical Society Event
All are invited to attend the Sunday, June 2
Re-dedication of the newly restored Ott
Cabin at the Deerfield Area Historical
Society. In addition to a visit from U.S.
Congressman Mark Kirk, there will be
music and refreshments. The Historic
Village is open for Sunday weekly tours at 2
p.m. through September.
Ah, the smells and touches of the library>.
The feel of a well-worn Huckleberry Finn.
Or my pre-adolescent Nancy Drew Detective
The ever-present joy when I read to my one and only daughter,
"I’ll love you forever—As long as I'm living my baby you'll be. ”
Feel the first experiments at curling up in a library to do research:
First research paper in high school.
Then college, law school,
Studying for the bar exam in the library.
Savor those memories.

Our great television personality with her "use your life " series,
Marvels at how books saved her-made her,
(a small black girl from
Mississippi,) believe she could be
Anyone she wanted to be!
Now, she has millions reading about all parts of the world
they would never
be exposed to otherwise. Publishers herald her—
she has reinspired book
sales, book clubs, and libraries.
Some people feel the coffee house/bookstores have replaced
the library,
They are mistaken.
No history or the aura of old souls.
It is no coincidence, that, in the movie,
City of Angels, Nicolas Cage, (an angel) hung out at the
Los Angeles Public Library.
Remember the "Twilight Zone" with a main character who
only wanted to
be left alone to read?
There is a nuclear holocaust, everything is desolate:
He wakes up alive in the nibble, with books all around him
At first he is ecstatic.
Then, the horrific irony-hisglasses are smashed. He can’t read.
Our libraries and books need us as much as we need them.
From generation to generation,
In all stages of our growing up,
One could always find a book to elucidate on the subject;
Adolescence, Dating, Getting Married, Parenting,
Speaking to your kids of adolescence,
Taking care ofyour parents,
How to find good doctors, build houses, buy cars,
Find the right spiritual home.
We must remember in this land of the free---How we are free to have libraries.
In Afghanistan, and Iran books are banned.
In India, there are no public libraries.
So many immigrants talk of theirfirst experience of
Coming to America and being able to "borrow"free of charge
A library book.
In America we celebrate milestones.
We honor our birthdays and our anniversaries.
We know that, there but for the grace of God go I.
The cake should be big, big, big,
The banners should be big, big, and big
Shout from the rooftops,
We Deeifieldtonian readers are 75 years old.
We made it. We’re going to live to be 200.
Our books are our gifts from our ancestors, and legacy to our
descendants
Hail! Hail! Long shall we read.

John A. Anderson Retires
from Library Board
After twenty- four
years of service, John
Anderson has moved
to Wauconda. He was
a Deerfield resident
for thirty- four years.
vr
First elected in 1977
and reelected in four
subsequent elections, Anderson’s
term spanned the period from when
the library was new all the way
through the recent renovations. He
provided leadership for two library
directors: Suzanne Whetstone and
Jack Hicks. A multi-faceted man,
Anderson was a strong advocate of
freedom of speech, access by all
residents to all forms of information
and of library literacy. He pressed
for renovation and the new comput
er system and he was instrumental
in bringing videos and other AV for
mats to the library. He said, “Many
problems were solved during my
tenure. I was glad to have been able
to contribute to this great library.”

Three Board
Members Elected
Jeffrey Blumenthal, Donald Van
Arsdale and David Wolff were elected
to serve on the Deerfield Library Board
of Trustees at the April 3 Village of
Deerfield election. All three have previ
ously served on the board. David Wolff
has been a board member for 12 years and held the office of secretary. Blumenthal had
been appointed last year. Both Blumenthal and Wolff will serve six year terms. Van
Arsdale served on the Board in 1994, and will fill the remaining four year term of Yvonne
Sharpe who resigned to move to Riverwoods. All three newly elected trustees are strong
library users and supporters.
The Deerfield Library Board of Trustees holds open meetings the third Wednesday of
every month at 8 p.m.
Under 18 Video Policy Changed
Matt requested and the board responded....
Joan Bairstow, right, Deerfield Library
Head of Circulation, gladly implemented
the board’s new video policy suggested by
Deerfield student Matt Tick, at left.
Matt Tick, Deerfield High School stu
dent, made a presentation to the library
Board of Trustees, and the Board respond

states that when a parental permission

rials on their own cards. Parents must give
the permission in person, and must assume
full responsibility for return, damage, fees
or fines for materials loaned under the pol
icy. The library is held harmless from the
loan of any material. Policies and permis
sion slips are available at the front desk.

�Across the Librarian’s Desk
The retirement of John Anderson from the
Library Board after twenty-four years of service
caused me to reflect on the fine board mem
bers who have served this library in the years
since the library was built. Many, like
Rosemary Sazonoff, were Deerfield stalwarts;
many were not known by the public but made
strong contributions to this library benefiting
the residents and the staff.
John was not the longest serving board member of memory. That
honor would go to former Board President Tom Parfitt, with current
President Sue Benn right behind in length of service. It is hard to sin
gle out individuals but some do stand out. Longtime Treasurer Tony
Sabato, who passed away last winter, taught me all I know about tax
levies and public finance. Rosemary Sazonoff taught me the power of
the press; Wilbur Page taught me respect for the physical plant and
how to take care of it. Sue Benn, especially, has shepherded me
through all our renovation projects for the past eight years and I owe
her more than I can tell. It is with sadness that we note the death of
former Board Member Charlene Reich in early May; she served with
distinction.
Currently the library has a mix of old and new board members. Sue
Benn brings over twenty years experience to the table, David Wolff
twelve years. Our younger members Don Van Arsdale, Sunday Mueller,
Jeff Blumenthal and Ken Abosch bring a renewed sense of energy and
enthusiasm as we look forward to long range planning and needed
community assessment to prepare ourselves for the future. Bill Seiden
has agreed to fill John Anderson’s position on an interim basis. This
board truly reflects the residents of Deerfield and will be a great asset
as we move into the reality of the information age.
As if we needed proof that it is indeed a small world we live in,
this spring Bill Seiden, current President of the North Suburban Library
System Board, and I were in Washington, D.C. for the American Library
Association’s Legislative Day. At the debriefing session held after a
long day on Capitol Hill I chanced to look over at one of our fellow
library advocates. I asked him immediately if he was the Don McCurry
who served so ably on the Deerfield Public Library Board twenty years
ago. Don’s reponse was, “How in the world did you know that?” It was
easy. Don had been a great board member. He had made strong contri
butions to the library, and had make a lasting impression. He was in
Washington as a board member of the Northern Illinois Library System
headquartered in Rockford. It seems Don has been involved in library
service for many years.
At this point it finally occurred to me that as boards have a
tremendous impact on their libraries, so do libraries have a lasting
effect on the board members themselves. It was a fine moment when I
introduced a current board member to one from many, many years ago.
Past and present became one, leading me to feel confident about this
library’s future.

Morton Grove, Waukegan and Skokie.
Only the Deerfield Library holdings appear
on our computer screen. However, on our
regular computers you can call up the
holdings of all libraries in the North
Suburban System and continue to borrow,
as always, from interlibrary loan.
Up and running this summer will be our
own home page where you can access our
catalog directly (www.deerfieldlibrary.org)
Until now our home page of programs and
services has only been found on the
Village of Deerfield "community” site.
(www.deerfteld-il.org).
You can also access our catalog by
dialing in with a modem 945-3498 (with
communications software, i.e., ProComm).

New ADA Computer Terminal
Through the auspices of Deerfield resi

computer to the library. A 21- inch monitor
will go with the new computer so that
visually impaired patrons can use an
enlarged font size to see the library’s
online catalog, the online magazine data
base and the Internet. The monitor and
keyboard will sit on a counter that allows
wheelchair access. Those who need this
special accommodation should ask for
assistance at the Reference Desk.

Programs,
Projects and
Progress
A report on the year 2000,
Deerfield Library’s Year of
Renewal
During our millennium year we strived to
become a focus in our community, where ren
ovation was the word for the whole Village.
We were involved with bricks and mortar,
computers, landscaping and elevators and still
managed to add over 10,000 books, videos,
audio cassettes and... new this year DVD’s
and books on CD... and to serve all your
information needs.
Our Community where hundreds took passports
behind the scenes to view each department;
music, beanie baby prizes and food were pop
ular! The Bristol Renaissance Faire visited us
in May, taking us back to the 16th century as
Queen Elizabeth Tudor knighted the children,
townspeople picnicked on the lawn and music
and dancing provided a leisurely contrast to
our 21st century.
Programs
We held 61 adult programs, including several
co-partnered with the Deerfield Fine Arts
Commission, Deerfield Area Historical Society,
U.S. Foreign Policy Association and North
Suburban Library System. We offered income
tax assistance, flu shots, voter registration,
free July 4 lemonade, Ravinia passes, the 4th
annual Rosemary Sazonoff Creative Writing
Contest, 15 classes on using the Internet and
monthly Librarian in the Lobby, our “in person
suggestion box”.
We served Deerfield schools and students
with our annual Student Government Day,
where we learn along with our teens, and with
library instruction for junior high students.
Youth Services Reading Roundup has been a
rousing success for 2-8th graders, and
Exploring Art Through Literature workshops
are the talk of the town. Crafts and storytime
are popular Family Fun Night activities.
Library visitors from the Chinese Academy of
Sciences said, “If only we had something like
this for our children in China!”
Other projects finalized this year are lobby
and entrance remodeling to meet ADA stan
dards, rebuilding of an elevator, and rebuilding of the west garden (Youth Services area),
Cell phone use was banned to make the library
more peaceful
Progress
Plans for the future include a revamp of the
AV room to become more accessible and
attractive: new lights and proper shelving for
books on tape, videos and DVD’s
Jeff Blumenthal was appointed to the
library board to replace Yvonne Sharpe in
2000. Bill Seiden also served in 2000 as presi
dent of the North Suburban Library System. In
2001 Bill Seiden and John Anderson will leave
their Deerfield Library board positions and a
2001 spring board election will bring changes
to the makekup of the library board. We were
saddened at the death this year of Tony
Sabato who retired from the library board in
1997 after 19 years of service.
During 2000, Glenn Poch was selected Head
of Technical Service and spearheaded new
computer installation. Better equipment and
response time has brought us up to speed for
the 21st century and we shall continue to
enhance our collection, and provide valuable
service to our community.
Projects
Readers of all ages pledged to read 100
books in 2000 in our Century Readers Club. By
December, 5000 books were read and a
reception was held for those ach.ev.ng this
admirable feat. Read Around the World clubs
