Message from the
Director
In the darker
days of winter, I
ff
appreciate the
«•.
golden light
that pours forth
from a friendly
window. Is
there anything more welcoming?
Recently, I was walking back to the
Library after an evening meeting.
Through the glowing panes, I saw
the Library full of people engaged in
a variety of ei\joyable activities.
kiv
Record-breaking attendance,
climbing circulation figures,
increasing demands for our meeting
rooms and for tables throughout the
building—something is going on
here!! Even we have been a little
surprised at these dramatic increases.
No doubt the shaky economy is one
reason - the Library is a terrific
family-entertainment resource. We
hope the many positive changes and
improved access day and night, here
or from home or office, are
contributing factors as well.
In this issue you will discover many
new reasons to come to the Library
and information about our plans to
make it even more inviting. Be sure
to see the Board’s announcement of
our plans to update the Library.
Whatever your plans are for the next
few months, we hope that you’ll let
us extend a cheery hello to you this
winter.

Library Board Engages Architectural Consultant
Last year the Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees decided to stay in downtown
Deerfield at our present location. Although it appears that our 37-year-old building is
structurally sound, we continue to hear from members of the community that it is time
for an update. More than just updating the worn and outdated interior, it is time to
rearrange our space to make better use of the building and reconfigure it to meet the
needs of our community. Included in this improvement plan is the possibility for a
small addition.
The Board has engaged the services of a Chicago-area architectural firm to review the
current building systems and structure in detail, evaluate the use of space and evolving
programming and service needs, and conduct community focus groups. The purpose of
this process is to generate ideas and build consensus about the vital services and space
needs of a dynamic community library. The architectural firm will use this information to
develop a set of proposals to enhance our current building on Waukegan Road. These
alternatives will be presented to the public for further discussion and analysis.
As we write this, the dates for these activities are being planned. We invite you to
watch for further announcements and we welcome your ideas and comments at any time.

The heart of StoryCorps is the conversation between two people
©
who are important to each other: a grandson asking his grandmother
__J
about her childhood, an immigrant telling his friend about coming to [
America, or a couple reminiscing on their 50th wedding anniversary.
By helping people to connect and to talk about the questions that
matter, the StoryCorps experience is powerful and sometimes even life-changing.
Last year, representatives from Bannockburn, Deerfield and Riverwoods planned and
presented our first “One Book” program. Last year’s book was Mountains Beyond
Mountains, by Tracy Kidder.
This spring, “One Book, One Zip Code” partners will once again provide readers with
opportunities to come together at locations throughout the community for discussions,
lectures, and interactive events related to the book.
Parents, look for a kid’s version of “One Book” coming this spring!

�Staff News
Welcome Emily Compton,
Head of Reference
If Emily looks familiar, it is because she
has been a librarian with us for just
over a year. After a multi-state search
for a new head of reference, we
realized that we had to look no further
to find exactly what we needed. Emily
has a strong commitment to excellent
reference services and nonfiction
readers’ advisory, as well as offering
virtual services via our website. She
appreciates the skills and experience
of her coworkers, and together they
form an impressive team.
Welcome Sheila Urwiler,
Head of Multimedia
Sheila joined our new Multimedia
department in late September. She has
extensive experience in customer
service and staff training, and she
recently made the career change to
librarianship. Currently a student
librarian with a passion for music and
movies, she will complete her MLS
degree in December. Sheila has many
ideas for the expansion of the media
collections and services, so let her
know your areas of interest!
Best Wishes to Juanita
Nicholson, Reference
Librarian
Juanita will retire in late November
after dedicating five years of superb
service to the Deerfield community.
Over the years you may have noticed
her displays, complete with Victor the
penguin, or you may have made a
delicious meal with a cookbook she
selected for the Libraiy. Juanita’s
passion for research and teaching is an
inspiration to library users and staff
alike. We will all miss her kind attitude,
engaging stories, and undying patience.
Thank you and best wishes, Juanita!

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
