books to sell in the Friends’ Book Store, which is located right inside the library. All
genres of books are accepted as well as DVDs and video games. Most importantly,
the proceeds from all sales are funneled right back into library services.

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
