We Respond to You!

National Library Week Specials
o
Three Day Video Loans
In response to patrons’ requests, we
have extended the loan period for
videos from two days to three. Rental
fees for videos marked “NEW”
remain $1 per video. All older videos
may be borrowed free of charge to
Deerfield cardholders. You may take
out six videos at a time, and many
patrons do!
The library has several ways of
responding to patrons’ requests. One
is Librarian in the Lobby. Every
month on the second Saturday, a
member of the Deerfield Library
Board joins Library Administrator
Jack Hicks in the library' lobby. This
spring, Librarian in the Lobby will
be from 9 a.m. to noon, Saturdays,
March 13, April 10 and May 8. This
is a fine opportunity to meet library
administrators and share library con
cerns. We find that most of the com
ments are positive and many are very
helpful. This is our own brand of
market research and we do listen and
respond to you!
We also have a suggestion box at the
front desk and often implement help
ful patron suggestions. If you think
the library should purchase a book or
recording, we have a green “consider
for purchase” form you can fill out in
any department. If our librarians who
select the materials feel that it will be
a good library purchase, we will try
to buy your requested item and noti
fy you when it comes in. We are
happy to hear from you!!!
