Message from the
Director
Spring is the time
.
when all things
;
come alive again,
including the

already been hum

School District 109 kindergarten
registration in February to preparing

Boys and Reading:
What’s the Problem? What’s the Solution?
Parents and teachers concerned with the question, “How can we get
boys to read?" will want to hear award-winning author Marc
Aronson’s answers. Aronson believes the key to helping boys succeed
at reading is to find out what interests them. He says, “But we do the
opposite. We treat reading as novel reading and tell boys who like
facts, battles, sports magazines, websites, or fantasy that they are not
readers.” In this presentation, Dr. Aronson shows how to build
bridges to reading by seeing boys for who they are.
Monday, March 10, 7 p.m. Space is limited.
Author Marc
Aronson
To make reservations, please call 847-945-3311.
We also take special pleasure in bring
ing the Library out into the community.
With “One Book, One Zip Code,” we are
doing just that! In cooperation with our
community partners (see accompanying
article), One Book programs will occur
in convenient locations throughout the
three-village area. Our Friends group
has been pursuing service outside the
Library, as well. Their popular paper
back bookrack at the train station
provides entertaining reading materials
even for those too busy to squeeze in a
visit to the Library.
Speaking of squeezing into the
Library...
Many of you have begun to ask if there
are plans for the building itself. As
reported in thz Deerfield Review, we
love our downtown location in the
heart of the community. We are cur
rently exploring ways to reconfigure
and refresh the space we have and
considering a possible addition that
would increase our ability to meet
changing community needs and
interests. What can we do for YOU?
This program is a part ofDeerfield Public Library’s Reading Warriors grant. Fundingfor this
grant was awarded by the Illinois Slate Library a division of the Office ofSecretary ofState\ using

One Book, One Zip Code
2008: Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder
Community-wide reading programs like “One Book, One Chicago” are becoming popu
lar across the country and around the world. Last year, representatives from Deerfield,
Bannockburn, and Riverwoods began planning our first One Book program. The title
“One Book, One Zip Code” reflects our desire to make sure that everyone in the 60015
zip code feels equally invited to join this community of readers.
*
This spring we invite you to read Mountains Beyond
Mountains, by Tracy Kidder. This nonfiction bestseller
follows “the quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, the man who
would cure the world.” Kidder focuses on Farmer’s
work in Haiti and his dedication to providing preferen
tial health care options for the poor. Inspiring and
thought provoking, the book captivatingly explores the
issues of poverty, health care, and international aid.

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
library access to Microsoft Office prod
ucts: Word, Excel, PowerPoint and oth
ers. We are preparing to launch new
services, too, such as e-audio books,
email notifications, and new payment
options via credit card. Watch for fur
ther announcements this spring.
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
member David Wolff for his nearly 18
years of dedicated service to the com
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.

tion for the materials and services available from the Library; to supplement

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

Mary’s interests, particularly pottery. Mary

Hope College in Holland, Michigan, and

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.

Adults voted for everything from Pulitzer Prize-winner Lonesome Dove to book group
favorite My Sister's Keeper. Children, on the other hand, filled the ballot boxes to the brim
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.

A Vision for the
Library
by Don Van Arsdale, Deeifield Library
Trustee, Chair of the Long Range
Planning Committee (and Director of
the Winnetka Community House)
D
aniel Burnham said
“make no small plans
as they have no power
to fire men’s souls”. Due in part to
Mr. Burnham’s foresight and
vision, we enjoy Chicago as one of
the truly great cites in the world.
Ten years ago, the Deerfield Public
Library Board of Trustees and staff
created a Master Plan for the
library. Using community input,
this process resulted in a plan
which improved the library facility
in many significant ways. Some of
these improvements include: the
opening up and renovation of the
lower level resulting in the Tom
Parfitt Adult Fiction Room, the
installation of a public elevator,
Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) improvements, renovation of
the children’s reading room, instal
lation of a new computer system,
remodeling of the front lobby and
the purchase of new materials.

Board President Sue Benn Retires
We are grateful to Sue Benn who has served on
the Deerfield Library Board of Trustees for 27
years and as president for the past twelve of
those years. In April she will step down from her
post. Originally appointed to the Board, she
became interested in the library while working on
book sales with the Library Friends Group.
Subsequently, she ran for office and won four
elections, each requiring six year terms. She has
particularly enjoyed the board work because of
the variety of personalities and friends she’s
made along the way.

Sue Benn
She has observed many changes in the Village since moving here in 1955
and raising her three children in Deerfield. “Life was simpler then,” she said
“yet there has been continuity in the library. It’s like raising a child; you
don’t notice the growth because you are so close to it.” She has overseen a
new roof, boiler system, major building renovation, ongoing computer tech
nology, policy changes and the challenge of making best use of available
space. Her fondest accomplishment has been hiring and supporting Jack
Hicks as administrative librarian. “Jack has hired an excellent staff, main
tains contact with the Village, the library profession, computers and a myri
ad of details.” Having worked so closely with staff and board on so many
projects she feels she is leaving a family. She modestly says of her years on
the board— “I got more than I gave.”
An active community member, Sue was elected 2002 “Volunteer of the
Year” at the Chicago Botanic Garden, and has many interests. She and her
husband Walt particularly enjoy trips to visit her children. She plans to keep
a close eye on the library’s future and to continue visiting almost daily as
she does now. (She might even volunteer again for the “sticky job” of.
lemonade service in the library which she has done every year for July 4th
Family Day).
On April 1 the Village will hold an election for a total of three openings on
the library board.

�A Vision for the Library
Continued from page I
The current Board of Trustees began a new long range plan
in 2001. Once again, we are looking to our residents for
input on how the library can serve your needs in the future.
We want to solicit your ideas about our services, materials,
hours, staff, programs, and facilities.
Your thoughts and opinions are essential to the success of
our plan. If you are contacted by POL, please take the 5-10
minutes to complete the telephone survey. If you are con
tacted to participate in a focus group, please consider say
ing yes.
We have contracted with the Public Opinion Laboratory
(POL) of Northern Illinois University to conduct a telephone
survey. Additionally, POL will conduct a series of focus
groups where we will delve into the information gleaned
from the telephone survey. We will listen and consider the
results of these conversations as we begin planning and
visioning the future of the Deerfield Public Library.
The library services are here for your enjoyment. We know
you want this to be an excellent community resource. We
want to position this library to meet the needs of current
and future patrons. Like Daniel Burhnam, we understand
that to prepare for the future, you must plan for the future.
Shelving in the “West Wing" main floor of the library has been
remodeled for videos, DVD's, CD's and audio books. Now there is
space to grow and to increase our collections. If you have any
trouble locating materials, please ask a reference librarian for
assistance.

□ Reminder: If you do not have your library card with you or your library card
has expired, you will have to have some type of approved identification before
you can check out materials or update your library card. Proper ID: driver’s
license, checkbook, voter registration or utility bill.
□ We have a checkout limit of five items on a subject—per family. This is to
insure that all of our patrons will have access to our materials. (Often school
assignments and other circumstances create sudden heavy demand beyond the
stretch of our collection).
□ Our unique card-operated Internet service is free to anyone 18 or older and
youth with signed parental permission. There is a one time sign up; your library
card is then scanned and you are eligible to use the Internet for up to one hour
per day. If you live in another community and do not have a library card, bring
ID and we will provide you with a special card. There are five Internet stations
in Reference plus a sixth 15 minute express station. In Youth Services there are
two stations. (Your library card must be current and free from fines!).

The library’s subscription to the Physicians Desk Reference online database allows
you to search free of charge for information on both brand name and generic drugs
and to check for drug interactions, adverse reactions, etc. If you have a Deerfield
Library card and an Internet connection, now you can find this information from
home or work without coming to the library — especially handy for those home sick!
Of course at the library anyone — with or without a Deerfield card — can use both
the database and the print book version of PDR.
Also available on the library’s website: INFOTRAC’S Health and Wellness Resource
Center, for full-text articles, medical reference books, drug information and more.

Our New Library Catalog and
How to Use It.
�Across the Librarian’s Desk
This Library was founded seventyfive years ago when Mrs. F.W.
Russo opened the Library doors
for the first time on New Years
Day, January 1927. Since that
time the Library has been housed
in the Deerfield Grammar School,
next into a storefront by the old
Callner Building, then stored away in a number of base
ments and garages to be shelved in the Township build
ing, and since 1971 here at the present location. The
longevity and success of this library has been the result
of the vision, hard work and dedication of many people
over a long period of time truly a collaborative effort.
The present building was built in response to a study
done by the Deerfield League of Women Voters in 1967
which found the old library seriously deficient. In seven
ty-five years there have been five Directors: Mrs. Russo,
Mrs. Wolff, Mrs. Haney, Mrs. Whetstone and me.
There have been many defining moments since that New
Years Day in 1927 for the world, nation, Village, and the
Library. Lindbergh flew the Atlantic that year and dra
matic change has been a way of life ever since. The
library as an institution has changed more in the past fif
teen years than it did in the past one hundred and fifty.
In the span of my library career the library universe has
grown globally from the size of a single room to a reach
that encompasses every part of the world. With comput
ers, libraries moved from the 19th Century to the 21st
Century in a single leap. Library services, formats, mate
rials, and techniques have all changed, and will continue
to change. What has not changed for libraries is that at
the heart of everything we do are the residents we serve.
Many pundits have predicted the demise or death of the
library as an institution with the advent of computers
and the Internet. Our statistics, numbers, and usage here
in Deerfield do not lend that theory much credence. Our
percentage of resident cardholders, our circulation and
our reference question totals show an active clientele,
while statistics from the Youth Services Department
show a growing service population. Ttoo flourishing
mega-bookstores in our community validate this as a
neighborhood of readers. The Library has kept abreast of
current computer technology tools of access, Internet
connections, and web-based services being only some of
our services. E-books and downloaded services are just
around the corner. But books will still remain crucial to
our long range mission. Why do I say that?
Recent events like the Enron scandal with the loss of
computer data, the use of computers by terrorists, the
destruction of records in the World Trade Tower disaster,
the general impermanence and volatility of computer
stored data, the disappearance of the National Park
Service website make it clear that permanent paper
records and books still have a very important role to play
in history and in society. Until e-books are cheaper,
more inclusive in the titles they purvey, and a lot easier
to use, they will not replace books. The major break
through for e-books will come when students download
all their text and work books in a single cheap, simple,
device and throw away their backpacks. Even when that
day dawns, as I am sure it will, books will remain viable
because there is no profit to be made from converting
old books into new technology just ask the failed
Netlibrary. As everyone knows in this techno-age, profits
drive products and if libraries do not preserve our soci
ety’s culture no one else will. Remember, books were the
first solid-state, random-access memory device and
remain effective; they also don’t fail when the lights go
out.
So even at the advancing age of seventy-five the Library
stands ready to move into the 21st Century. Our staff is
trained and prepared, the formats and media are chang
ing daily, the Library will respond as it has always
responded; with hands-on personal service for our resi
dents in a professional, intelligent and literary manner.
It has been an exciting seventy-five years for libraries
and the next seventy-five will be even more so. Libraries
really are the leaders in information age technology.
Come on in and check us out!
