Deerfield Public Library
Winter 2019-20 | deerfieldlibrary.org
Check Out a Museum Today!
Details on page 2
�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

Awesome Things
Library cards available for
awesome readers ages 5+
(Tour of Awesome begins on page 2)
i
�September is officially
Library Card Sign-up
Month!
This “holiday” is an initiative
championed by the American
Library Association to promote,
you guessed it, library cards! In
1987, Education Secretary
William J. Bennett wanted a
way to encourage all children
to get, and use, a library
card. Since then,
libraries use this
month as a way
Celebrate Library Card Sign-up
Month by exploring the awesomeness
of your Deerfield Public Library!
True, you don’t need a library card for all these activities, but
everyone should have this awesome card in their wallet.
Library cards are available for ages 5+!
to remind the public that a
library card is a way to explore
educational and recreational
resources. Public libraries are
great equalizers. There are very
few civic institutions that serve
people from all backgrounds
and walks of life. Public
libraries are a source of
community pride, and each one
is unique in how it serves its
community.
At Deerfield Public Library,
we are very proud of the
variety of services we offer
our community. Throughout
this issue of Browsing, we
will be highlighting some of
the great things that you can
do with your DPL card.
We hope you will find
something new
and unique.
With your library card, in
addition to being able to check
out books in a variety of
formats, I encourage you to
explore the Library's wide
variety of digital resources. Are
you looking to make an
automobile purchase this year?
Be sure to check out our new
Auto Finance Resource
database. Download the hoopla
app to get access to hundreds
of streaming TV shows, movies,
and audiobooks. And we have
an amazing, professional staff
available to assist you in your
information-seeking endeavors.
We are here to help you find the
information you need.
Deerfield Public Library is
always looking for ways to meet
the needs of the community.
Your library card is the key that
can unlock many doors!

Tuesday, July 19, 7:00-8:30pm
Real People, Real Stones
is a new series which focuses
on ordinary people with
extraordinary stories.
Not long ago, Chicagoland animals
seized from neglectful or criminally
charged owners were viewed solely
as evidence. They were rescued, but
then languished in a kennel until
their owners’ court cases concluded,
and then they were typically
euthanized. In 2010, Safe Humane
Chicago launched the Court Case
Dogs program - a not-for-profit
group that gets these animals
rehabilitated and adopted. Cynthia
Bathurst, co-founder of Safe Humane
Chicago, will discuss this thriving
program and its team of volunteers,
dog trainers, behavioral consultants,
partner organizations and lastly, the
court case dogs who moved beyond
their histories and into homes of
people who love them. A RuffRoad
Home by Susan Russell will be
available for purchase. Due to
sensitive material, please no

New Art Gift from our Friends
Artist Reception, February 17
Courtesy of the Friends of the Deerfield Public
Libraiy, a stunning mural now hangs in the central
stairwell as part of the Library’s permanent art
collection. The four-panel mural by Janet Austin,
titled “Prairie Plants”, is made of stone mosaic and
carved ceramic stoneware tiles.
The inspiration for the mural came from a project
Austin worked on with students from Deerfield
High School. In 2010, DHS students participated
in a program with the Chicago Botanic Garden by
creating an outdoor prairie garden at their school.
Austin was hired to help make identification
plaques for the plants in the garden. This led her to
make the “Prairie Plants” panels to identify many
of the native plants and show the importance of
healthy soil.
The mural first came to the Library as part of the
Village of Deerfield Public Art Program, one of 23 pieces selected for
the second year of the program. The participating artists, chosen by juiy
process, agreed to loan theirs works of art for public display for up to
one year. The Library also has on loan pieces by Deerfield artists Anne
Kleinerman, Rita Price, Linda Trytek, and Penny Weinberg.
Please join us for an open house reception on Wednesday, February 17,
4:30-5:30pm to learn more about the project from the artist, and to give
a big “thank you” to our Friends of the Library.

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!

getting our building project underway on
time. Although we are in a temporary
location, people have definitely found us!
Total check-outs for all types of materials are
in line with the growth we’ve experienced
these past two years—and we circulate about
490,000 items a year. Free downloads of
Libraiy e-books first doubled, then tripled
during that time! Due to our space
limitations, we are offering fewer programs
than usual, but staples like book discussion
groups for adults and storytimes for children
are in full swing. All in all, community
members are using the Library —including
our expanded online services—as much
as ever.
One of the statistics we don’t like to see
rising is the number of unattended children.
Libraries are public places, and it is safest
(and required) for all children under the age
of nine to be in the direct care of a
responsible adult at all times. We increasingly
find children as young as 18 months
wandering alone, without an adult. This now
happens up to 40 times a month, up from a
low of sue times per month! If you have, or
care for, young children at the Library,
please keep them with you at all times.
Overall, 2012 has been a very successful year
for us, and we deeply appreciate your support
through it all. We look forward to
presenting you with the remodeled,
expanded, and fully stocked Library in
June of 2013. Until then, you can find us at
our temporaiy location and online. We hope
to have the pleasure of serving you veiy soon.

“I didn’t
know that!”
We asked staff to give us the inside track on some frequently over-looked and
under-used Libraiy resources. You may be surprised!
Y\ Kay P., Adult Services: “Ifyou’re lookingfor good
, V recommendations for books, DVDs, and CDs, simply
type 'Staff Picks’ into the Library’s catalog. Click on a
fwL\ mie, scroll down to 'Community Reviews’ and read
Vmk
why this selection made the list. ”
Claudette O., Patron Services:
“Patrons often ask us if we have a
record of the books they’ve read. While the
Library doesn’t keep any records of material that has
been checked out and returned, there is a feature under
'My Account ’ on our website that does give the patron
an option to save their own history. Just log in, click
on the 'My Reading History’ icon and 'opt in’ to the
history option. The history beginsfrom the date the patron opts in,
but should keep the ‘Have I read this one?’ down to a minimum in
thefuture!”

Changes in the
Library seem to be
everywhere, and the H
remodeling has not even begun!
Interested community members
can learn more about the Library’s
proposed design concepts and
progress through the approvals
process at public information
sessions in June. (See details
below).
i
.
While we are busy designing the
remodeling and expansion, we
have also been installing
improvements and “testing” new
services for the existing Library.
The addition of automated check
out stations and check-in conveyor
system are the most visible
examples. Initial public reaction
has been strongly positive, and
many patrons say they are
surprised by how quick and easy it
is to use. The most frequent patron
concern we have heard is the fear
that our fine staff members may
lose their employment as a result
of automation. This is not the case!
Patrons will continue to see
familiar faces ready to offer
assistance throughout the Libraiy.
Come visit us soon!

Here’s Susan Karp,
president of the
Friends of the
Deerfield Public
Library, checking out
the new Self-Checkout
station donated by
the Friends.
Cicero would envy us.. .a world class garden

Chicago Botanic Garden when showing your
Deerfield Public Library card will allow you to
park for free while you explore the treasures
of the great garden—including the Lenhardt
Library. This gem—as bright and aiiy as a
greenhouse—houses an extensive specialized
collection of almost 30,000 titles, including
books, DVDs, periodicals, nursery catalogs
and the archives of the Chicago Horticultural
Society. Get to know the Lenhardt, and spend
the day exploring the Botanic Garden free
just by showing your Deerfield Public Library
card when you pull up to the entiy gate.
Farmers Market Visits
• Through the generous support of the community by purchasing used
books at the Library and annual memberships, the Friends were able
to fund one of the new Self-Checkout Stations.
• Mark your calendar for the annual used cookbook and children’s book
sale at the Deerfield Farmers Market on Saturday, September 17,
2011.
• Used books are sold during regular Library hours in the first floor
meeting room. Please pay for books at the Patron Services desk. The
Friends continue to accept gently used hardback and paperback
books, as well as CD’s and DVD’s. We ask that households donate only
two shopping bags or boxes per week. Please bring donations to the
Patron Services Desk.
• The Friends need volunteers from the community to help sort and
shelve the used book donations. Any amount of time and help is
appreciated. Please contact the Friends for more information.
• The Board of the Friends will meet on August 24 at 7 p.m. at the
Deerfield Public Library. Community members and potential new
volunteers are always welcome. Please contact the Friends at

17,000 pounds of early childhood
development - will be rolling into the
Library’s parking lot on Saturday, June
25. Basically an interactive children’smuseum-on-wheels built to a child’s
scale, the StoryBus was launched by the
Delores Kohl - as in Kohl Children’s
Museum - Education Foundation and
aimed at pre-readers Pre-K through
Kindergarten. A visit to the StoryBus
immerses children in four popular
stories, including “Goldilocks and the
Three Bears,” “The Little Red Hen,”
“The Gingerbread Man,” and “The Three
Little Pigs.” The kids participate in the
creation of each story, helping the
characters and even providing
alternative endings. Plus, there are great
follow-up activities and suggestions on
their website, including how to keep
storytime at home active, fresh, and fun.
For other ideas on how to encourage
children to want to read, ask any of our
Youth Services staff for ideas - they’re
the experts!

Volunteer Opportunities @ the Library
Teen Advisory Board
Join the Teen Advisory Board! As a TAB member you can help come up with
programming ideas for teens at the Library, talk about books, magazines, movies, and
music with other Deerfield teens, help create content for the library’s website, and
more. If you are interested in becoming a member call or email
reference@deerfieldlibrary.org and ask for Madeline, the teen services liaison.
A public library is—among
many other good things—
public. Common sense (and
Library policy, by the way)
says that parents and
caregivers must stay with
children under nine. In
addition, be mindful of
purses, backpacks, laptops,
or anything else of value; and
let Library staff know of any
suspicious activities right
away. Have you noticed we
have added security cameras
at each Library entrance?

Message from the Director
We call it “the dead of winter”...
That dormant time
-when the world appears
to be asleep under the
blanket of snow.
H \1 fe* it
Experienced gardeners
know, however, that
important changes are
occurring in plants and animals, preparing
them for spring when the world will be full of
life and change.
So, too, inside the Library we are busy
planning our new automation system and
conducting preliminary discussions about
options for remodeling. Right now, there is
not much to see. Nevertheless, these early
steps are fundamental to help us launch
the new plans during the spring and
summer months.
In other areas our activities are quite
evident, even in the winter months. These
include our expanded programs and services
to children and their families, often in
coordination with local schools. Staff
members, including our new Teen Services
Librarian, regularly visit classrooms and
other student gathering places. They share
books, an activity or two, and information
about Internet safety.
Back inside the Library, we now offer
color printing and copying, for just 10 cents
per page! You can even print from your own
wireless laptop computer. Our staff members
are happy to show you all the features and
simple-to-use instructions for our new copiers
and printers. In response to your requests,
we also offer longer sessions on our desktop
computers, if other patrons are not waiting.
Even with these expanded services and
programs, we are ever mindful that BOOKS
are what draw many of you to the Library.
Come and get a fresh armful to keep you cozy
until spring is really here!

2009: Listening Is an Act
of Love ed. Dave Isay
“... Our stories—the stories of everyday people—
are as interesting and important as the celebrity
stories we’re bombarded with by the media every
minute of the day. If we take the time to listen, we’ll
find wisdom, wonder, and poetry in the lives and
stories of the people all around us.”
So begins the introduction to Listening is an Act ofLove, the 2009 selection
for Bannockburn, Deerfield, and Riverwoods’ “One Book, One Zip Code”
community reading project. The book is a collection of some of the most
meaningful of the thousands of stories collected by StoryCorps—the country’s
largest oral history project—since their founding in 2003. Many other stories
have run on National Public Radio.
At the heart of StoryCorps is the conversation between two people who are
important to each other. By helping people connect and talk about the ques
tions that matter, the stories in this book are powerful, and sometimes, even
life-changing.
This spring, along with our community partners, we are pleased to present a
series of programs that will support a continuing conversation about
Listening Is an Act ofLove and provide opportunities for readers to share
stories of their own.

Message from the Library
—
Director
Our mission, in part,
is to provide you
with open access to
the world of infor
mation and ideas.
Sometimes, we bring the world to you!
For example, Deerfield Public Library
is very excited to be hosting the North
Central 0 Gaugers Model Railroad
Club. Train lovers of all ages will delight
in seeing this enormous model train
layout and its villages, bridges and
flashing signals on Saturday, March 24,
from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Don’t miss it!
Another way we will bring the world to
you is through programs about “bou
tique” libraries. These are the jewels of
small, public-access libraries in the
Chicago-metro area, offering highly
specialized collections. For example, in
April we will reveal the treasures of the
Lenhardt Library of the Chicago
Botanic Garden. In May, we will spot
light Lake County’s William D. Block
Memorial Law Library and its valuable
resources. Learn about other unique
libraries in the months to come.
</°l^e
Number ^
The Trains, the Trains!
Saturday, March 24, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
The Library is the place to be when the North Central 0 Gaugers roll into town
with their gigantic 12 by 20 foot model train layout. Ring the bells, lift the gates,
load the trains, and swap stories in this daylong event for all ages. Special sur
prises include a drawing for a free small train set sure to delight any child!
The exhibition will feature a wide variety of passenger and freight trains, from
historic steamers to prototypical modern diesels. Guests of all ages will enjoy
the excitement of the sights and sounds of an interactive, operating model train
layout. Hands-on opportunities will allow attendees to experience the thrill of
running the trains wirelessly. NCOG Club members will be on hand to answer
any questions visitors may have.
Expanded Computer Services
For your convenience, we now offer in

ucts: Word, Excel, PowerPoint and oth

The library now offers Microsoft Office programs such as Microsoft Word,
PowerPoint and Excel to the public. Microsoft Office is available on all public
computers designated for Internet use. Patrons may use these computers for the
Internet, Microsoft Office, or both. Internet access and Microsoft Office usage is
FREE to everyone. Deerfield cardholders and guests using these services for the
first time should register their library cards (or receive guest cards) at the
Reference Desk. Computer usage is now expanded to 90 minutes a day per person.
Finally, I want to thank outgoing Board

munity and the Library. You will be
missed!

�Joan Bairstow, Head of
Circulation, Retires
It’s no cliche to say that Joan
Bairstow will leave her mark on
Deerfield Public Library. From
putting barcodes in books 23 years
ago to working behind the
Circulation Desk since 1985, Joan
has handled nearly every book, CD,
DVD, and video game in the
Library’s collection. She will retire
on May 25, 2007.
While raising her family in
Northfield, Joan helped create a
Friends of the Library group that
established the Northfield branch
of the Winnetka Public Library. The
branch relied largely on volunteers,
and Joan did everything from paint
ing walls to helping patrons. In
1984, she made the leap to paid
library employee when she came to
Deerfield Public Library to help
barcode the library’s collection.
After the barcoding project was
complete, Joan joined the
Circulation Department full time.
She quickly moved up to Assistant
Head of Circulation and has been
the Head of the department since
1998. Joan has eqjoyed many
aspects of her job, especially work
ing with the patrons. “Many are
friends at this point. We worry
about them when we don’t see our
regulars for awhile.”
Though she will miss being part of
special moments like helping a
child get his or her first library
card, Joan is looking forward to
the many activities her retirement
will allow her to eqjoy. Joan has
children living on both the East
and West Coasts and plans to make
frequent visits. When at home,
she’ll be taking classes and enjoy
ing her membership to the Chicago
Botanic Garden. And, her friends at
the library hope, coming back to be
waited on from the other side of
the desk.

New Youth Services Librarian
Mary Scholtens joined the Youth Services
Department in January. Mary recently
graduated from Dominican University with
a Master’s degree in Library and
Information Science, with a concentration
in youth services. Mary has been reading
ever since she can remember and her
current favorite book is Chasing Vermeer

Acknowledgments
Deerfield Public Library gratefully
acknowledges the many monetary gifts it
received through the years in memory of
Amy Simon. These donations were primarily
used to purchase materials for the Youth
Services Department “to expand knowledge of the world and its people.”
Recently, the family and friends of Olivia
Lucy Yang donated to the Youth Services
Department in Olivia’s memory. The
Library selected Asian-themed books and
language CDs for children.
In addition, the family of Carolyn Colburn
designated Deerfield Public Library as a
recipient of gifts in Ms. Colburn’s memory.
The Library has since purchased several
books in her name.
The Deerfield Woman’s Club has also regu
larly contributed toward adult books in
memory of its members.
The Library is honored to be the recipient
of these memorial gifts.

with the same beloved titles. The book with the overall largest number of votes was Harry
Potter. (Not every voter designated which Harry Potter book, but it was clear that Harry
and his friends at Hogwarts were number one with readers.) Second place was the popular
fantasy Eragon, and third place went to The Berenstain Bears.

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.

�Across the Librarian’s Desk
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.
