Classes Offered
Back by popular demand, the
Reference Department will
offer a one hour class on how
to use three of the library’s
electronic resources: the online
catalog, the gateway to busi
ness information, periodical
articles and telephone directo
ry, and an introduction to the
Internet.
The one- visit class will be
offered a variety of days and
times in September, October
and November. Each class is
limited to four people.
Registration and tickets are
required.
We are Proud
Deerfield resident Sarah Long,
Director of the North Suburban
Library System (NSLS) has
been elected president of the
57,000 member American
Library Association.
William Seiden, our library
board treasurer, has been elect
ed vice president of the board
of the NSLS.
Library employees Mary
Munday (Fiction Department)
and Taryn Nolen (Youth Ser
vices) have been awarded
scholarships from the Illinois
State Library to pursue gradu
ate degrees in Library Science.
Renovation Celebration!
Our newsletter and our library have a new look this fall! Plan to attend our star- studded
lineup of adult fall programs to celebrate our main floor renovation. When our videos
were in storage during renovation we realized how much our patrons enjoy movie enter
tainment. So we celebrate our “new look” with the STAR* theme during September and
October!
Join us for kickoff speaker tv personality Deerfield’s own Joel Weisman at 7 pm on
September 9 (reservations required). Our fall celebration series includes prizes, refresh
ments, music, a surprise “movie star” guest and entertaining programs. See page two for
star studded program details. Tell us your top five favorite movies and you’ll have a
chance to win free movie passes and free library (new) rental videos.
Focus on Youth Services Department
Now that the finishing touches are being put on the main floor renovation, architect Scott
Javore, the board and the staff are setting sights on renovation of the Youth Services
Department. Newly appointed department head Chris Kopeck said, “I am very excited
about the upcoming renovation. We are planning to keep the department child friendly,
but also make it more inviting for young adult patrons. We plan to separate the young
adult fiction and will be adding a study carrel and window seats. We will be increasing
shelf space in both the picture book room and the juvenile area. New carpeting and bright
colors will highlight the room. We will also be doubling the number of display cases. The
department will remain open during renovation, offering the same quality service, and we
want to thank patrons in advance for their patience.”
Chris Kopeck was selected from among several candidates for
the position of Head of the Youth Services Department. She
holds her Master’s Degree in Library Science from University
of Illinois and worked in a public library in Orlando, Florida
prior to being hired as a children’s librarian in Deerfield a year
ago. “Over the past year, the community has made me feel wel
come” she said, “and I look forward to serving them in this new
capacity. If you have comments or suggestions about improving
service, please talk to me or put a note in the suggestion box at
the front desk.”

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

Couldn’t Have Done it
Without You!
So much to think about! Thank you to the
many professionals who stopped by to discuss
their careers for our homeschool students:
Gale Gand (chef and cooking instructor),
K.C. Johnson (sports reporter), John
Burmeister (firefighter), and Quinn Curren
and David Puma (police officers)
Tasty thanks to Chef Gale Gand for enhancing
our Classics Book Discussion with her
heavenly madeleines.
The answer is…THANKS! to the Deerfield
Golf Club for the room donation for our very
popular Trivia night.
Donate at the Library
Collection bins are located behind the desk
at the Library’s front entrance through
December 23.
Toys For Tots
Drop off new, unwrapped toys for this
initiative of the U.S. Marines and the
Deerfield Police. All types of toys for all ages
are accepted, and remember that books
make great gifts!
Coat Off Your Back
The Deerfield Rotary is collecting clean
coats for PADS Lake County and other area
organizations. All sizes accepted.
Groovy thanks to the Patty Turner Center,
our co-sponsor for the entertaining Lunch &
Learn Motown program. It was a hit!
Artful thanks to the Deerfield Fine Arts
Commission for the sponsorship of another
unique art program, Inside Out: Interior
Architecture from Historic Buildings.
ALL ABOARD!
Model Trains @ the Library
Saturday, December 7, 9:00am-3:30pm
