Summer 2023 | deerfieldlibrary.org
Express Yourself with a special
Summer Reading Program
Details on page 2
�From the Director
FINALLY! Summer is here. I invite you to
maximize your summer enjoyment with one
of the many amazing items in our Library of
Things (LOT) collection.
If you’re craving an outdoor movie
experience, check out a backyard movie
bundle. This was an addition to our LOT
collection during the summer of 2020 and
it was so popular! We have everything you
need to host a backyard movie party. The kit comes with a DVD
player, a blow-up screen, a blower fan, all the appropriate cords
and remote controls, and plastic stakes. Don’t forget to check
out one of our new movies too! While we don’t supply the
popcorn and candy for your backyard movie night, we have
the big stuff you need.
We have a variety of backyard games like cornhole, outdoor
Jenga, bocce ball, giant Tic-Tac-Toe, and checkers. We recently
added a very popular game, Slammo (aka Spikeball).
You’ve seen it…players have a little ball that you slam on
a small net. We also have added Yard-zee, huge dice with a
dry-erase scorecard.
Pickleball sets are available to check out for your next trip to
a Deerfield Park District pickleball court. Explore the night
skies with one of our telescopes, and learn about butterflies
and bugs with a nature kit. Finally, we have travel kits with all
the things you need to keep the kiddos entertained on your
upcoming trip.
For our friends that are spending time in the water, we have a
fishing magnet. This is a multi-use magnet that is designed for
fishing or recovering lost objects underwater. It’s a bit unusual!
Enjoy your summer! As always, please feel free to reach out to me
at amy@deerfieldlibrary.org with any questions or comments.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
Find Your Voice:
Join the Soundscape of Summer Readers!
Our voices have power. We use our voices to share stories, express ourselves, and spark
change. Our voices include not only the sounds we make, but the words we write, the
art we create, the movements we perform, and the actions we take each day to impact
our world. Presented with support from the Friends of the Deerfield Public Library.
Children and Teen Summer Reading Program

How it Works:
In order to participate in weekly drawings and earn prizes along the

Grand Prize Drawing:
Three winners from each age group (Birth-PreK, K-5, 6-12) will be
selected this year for the Grand Prize Drawing. Winners will receive
a gift card to the Deerfield Park District or a year-long membership
to one of the following Chicago Museums: Adler Planetarium, Art
Institute of Chicago, Field Museum, Museum of Science and Industry,
Shedd Aquarium.
National research from Dominican University finds that students
who participate in public library summer reading programs:
• Scored higher on reading achievement tests at the beginning
of the next school year than those who did not participate.
• Spent more time reading over the summer, read more
books, were well prepared for school in the fall, and read
more confidently.
• Reading even just six books over the summer will help keep
your child’s mind sharp.
Encourage the young people in your life to participate in the
Summer Reading Program!

Summer Reading Program logo.

�Staff Profiles
From your responses to our Community Survey last year, it became clear that the most valued resource
at DPL is our staff! That inspired the introduction of this new occasional feature to let you get to know a
bit more about the amazing people that work here. Enjoy!
• Currently watching: The Night Agent on Netflix, but my favorite shows are
Last Kingdom and Outlander. I always return to The Lord of the Rings film series.
• Fun fact: I have a degree in Architectural Drafting from my home country, Colombia.
One of my hobbies is making custom greeting cards out of parchment. I love dancing and
listening to music – English or Spanish – I don’t discriminate.
Patricia
• Working for DPL the past five years has been like visiting a fair, lots of fun and something new and
exciting around every corner. The staff is so friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and supportive.
Library Aide
• Currently watching: The Mandalorian, Season 3.
• Fun fact: I have a PhD in Old Testament studies from Trinity International University,
and I teach Old Testament courses part-time for Trinity and Wheaton College. I am a
native Texan, who loves the library, barbecue and football (especially the Dallas Cowboys!).
By the way, did you know that Texas used to be its own country?
• I started at DPL in 2013 as an assistant when I was a student at Trinity. Working with
the public was the perfect job to balance with my studies, and in 2018, I accepted the
promotion to my current position.
Lance
Patron Services
Assistant Manager
• Currently reading: Hell Followed With Us by Andrew Joseph White.
• Fun fact: During my free time, I enjoy doing cross stitch projects. Right now, I’m working on a
cross stitch of the beloved dog of a DPL colleague.
Sam
• I was hired in 2018 as a Library Aide, and soon after enrolled to earn my Masters in Library Science
from the University of Illinois. Now I maintain our movie, music and video game collections, as well
as the Library of Things collection. I enjoy defying the expectations of the things our community
can check out from a library!
Multimedia Librarian
• Currently watching/playing: The Last of Us
• Fun Fact: 90% of my free time is spent playing Dungeons & Dragons. My favorite class
is cleric! Also, you may see me running around town training for my next half marathon.
• I’ve been with the library for the past decade, and am excited for the next decade!
If you’ve ever had a local history question, I probably found the answer for you!
Anne
Adult Services
Assistant Manager
• Currently reading: The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien, and The Complete Works of
St. John of the Cross.
• Fun fact: I studied Near-Eastern Archaeology and enjoy going on excavations in Israel.
• My favorite thing about the library is our patrons. Life can be tough, and we work hard to meet
you where you are at, and help where we can. This can include sitting down together for one-onone tech help, and also my monthly delivery of materials for our homebound patrons.
Chase
10
Adult Services Associate
� • Currently reading: Aniana del Mar Jumps In by Jasminne Mendez.
• Fun fact: I knit and crochet, and the first knitting project I ever finished was an exact
replica of the scarf that Tom Baker wore as Doctor Who – it’s a 13 foot long scarf!
• As one of the newer staff members, I really have enjoyed my time at DPL and felt
welcomed right away. My favorite thing about my role is that I get to help with collection
development for the juvenile books and graphic novels. I joke that I still only read kids
books for my job, but really it’s my favorite age range. The only reason I met my 100 book
reading goal last year was because I read 50% graphic novels!
Emily
Youth Services
Assistant Manager
• Currently reading: an Advanced Reader Copy (pre-publication) of Lei and the Fire Goddess
by Malia Maunakea.
• Fun fact: I love creating handmade cards; last year, I sent out 100 cards!
Kary
• I’ve been doing storytimes and working with the amazing early childhood educators in Deerfield
for 15 years now! It’s also a joy to collaborate with the DPS 109 librarians and staff and do booktalks
and other programs for the students. We’re lucky to have such wonderful educators in Deerfield.
School Outreach
Coordinator
• Currently listening to: Three Feet High And Rising by De La Soul.
• Fun fact: I am a musician, and have been active in the punk music scene for almost 30 years.
• For my first decade at DPL, I worked in Adult Services and probably answered a question or
two for you at the Media desk. I also coordinated Books to Go for our homebound patrons.
I jumped over to the MakerSpace last year, and am having loads of fun with our staff and
creative visitors. Stop by and see what we are all about!
Ted
MakerSpace Manager
Visit us at Family Days! Please stop by our booth at the
Deerfield Family Days celebration on July 4 to check out all of
the ways the Friends of the Deerfield Public Library is helping to
improve the library experience for everyone. We’ll be in Jewett
Park – hope to see you there!
Consider joining the Friends! We love welcoming new
members to assist us with our primary goal – improving the
programming and offerings at our local library. The Friends have
funded a wide variety of projects, including Memory Kits, new
browsing bins in the children’s section, furniture upgrades, and
the upcoming summer reading program. None of that would be
possible without the support of our wonderful community. For
more information, visit our website.
Are your bookshelves overflowing? If so, consider donating
books in good condition to us! The Friends run Deerfield’s only
(used) book store, and it is all based on contributions from
people like you! All genres of books are accepted as well as DVDs
and video games, but we’re always especially on the lookout
for gently used cookbooks and children’s books. All of the
proceeds from our sales are directed back to library projects.
Our next meeting will be June 26 at 7:00 p.m. in the library – all
community members are welcome!
Visit our website for more information: deerfieldlibrary.org/friends-of-the-library
The Friends can be contacted at 847-945-3311 x8895 or at friends@deerfieldlibrary.org

Summer Reading Logo
Competition Winner
The inspired “Find Your Voice” logo you see in this
newsletter was created by Deerfield High School artist
William Love IV. The winning design was chosen through
a competition organized for students in the Advanced and
AP Graphic Design classes. Participants met multiple times
with DPL staff, providing the students an opportunity
to learn about the Library’s summer program, discuss
their artistic vision, and receive feedback throughout the
design process. Many thanks DHS teachers Tim Bleck and
Chris Sykora for their expert guidance.

Deerfield Public Library
Summer 2019 | deerfieldlibrary.org
Summer Reading Program Kick-off Day
Saturday, June 8 • 9am-5pm
Details: Adults (p.3), Teens (p.7), Children (p.8)
�From the Director
Over the past editions of Browsing, I’ve
written about the fulfillment of the
Library’s current Strategic Plan, which
has been in place since 2017. We have
accomplished a number of the things
outlined in the plan, such as increasing
our program offerings, and adding more
copies of popular materials.
The final component to this plan is to reexamine our space to
create more seating, as well as introducing more technology
for the community with a new collaborative workspace.
At the March 2019 Board meeting, the Board hired a local
construction management firm, W.B. Olson, to manage
this project. Over the summer months, we will finalize the
documents and timeline the construction process. In the lead
up to the start of the construction, you’ll notice that some
things in the media section may be shifted. We anticipate
the start of construction will be later in the summer, and we
expect it to last approximately six weeks.
Automatic renewals are here!
Yes, it’s true. If your
checked out items are
eligible for renewal, it will
happen automatically,
up to two times! This
new service offered
by DPL provides the
convenience of enjoying
materials for a longer
period of time with less
worry about returning
them on time or
remembering to request
a renewal. Your to-do list
just got a little shorter!
The collaborative workspace is a multifunctional space
designed to help the Deerfield community learn, create,
collaborate, and have fun with technology. We will provide
everyone with equal access to materials and resources that
encourage learning in a welcoming environment. We will
be moving our very popular 3D printer into the new space,
and additional items under review for purchase are a laser
engraver, 3D scanner, and STEAM kits.
The workspace will include AV equipment such as a sound
booth, microphones, and a camera. We plan to have creative
crafting equipment, such as a sewing and embroidery
machine available for use. Finally, we’ll move our Digital
Media Lab from the basement so that all our patron-use
equipment is located in one space.
Watch our website and social media channels for more
information on this exciting new addition to DPL.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
How does it work?
• Two days before the due date, eligible items will
automatically renew for the full renewal period.
• What’s not eligible? Any item on hold for another
patron, Lucky Duck books, new videos, and items
acquired through interlibrary loan.
• Digital items (e-books, e-audiobooks, streaming
movies and music) are not affected.
How will I be notified?
• Patrons who have an e-mail address in their account
will get a courtesy notice letting them know which
items were not automatically renewed, and which
items now have a new due date.
• Patrons who receive text message notices will receive
a courtesy notice listing the items that were not
renewed.
How can I sign up for a courtesy notice?
• To sign up for email notification: ask in person at the
library, by phone, or update your patron account on
the Library website: deerfieldlibrary.org, Click on
“My Account” on top right side.
Reminder: You can check on your due dates anytime using the “My Account” link on our website.
