�From the Director
Every year when I write the fall Browsing
column, I reminisce about back to school
supply shopping. I had a Trapper Keeper
that had adorable puppies in which I
could keep all my 5th grade assignments
in impeccable order. Also, my mother was
persuaded to buy me some fun glittery Lisa
Frank stickers and pencils. I still occasionally
pick up a new glittery pen when I take my
own kids back to school shopping. The new school supplies
motivated me to get ready for the upcoming school year.
Best wishes to students of all ages for an engaging and
inspiring school year.
Fall seemed like the perfect time to survey our community
about library services. It has been a few years since DPL
underwent a strategic planning process and I’m excited to
announce that we are commencing the process this fall!
On the back cover, there is a QR code that you can scan to
take a quick survey to provide us feedback on what we can
do better to serve you. You can also access the survey at
https://deerfieldlibrary.org/survey.
Your responses will help shape our goals and budgets for
years to come. DPL’s mission is to serve our community in
the best possible way. After all, we are a public library and
exist to serve our public.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
The MakerSpace: Your Imagination Station
In November 2019, we opened the doors to the brand new
DPL MakerSpace. We were visited by many curious and creative
patrons before we had to shut the doors just five months later,
due to the pandemic.
Soon after the closure, we were able to arrange for patrons to
submit projects that staff would process. When complete, the
projects could be picked up curbside. Eventually, we could have
one person in at a time to use the equipment. Now, we are happy
to report, our doors are fully open for appointments and walk-ins.
And, oh, the projects you all have been dreaming up!
At the point that Jackie Guagliardo was dreaming up party plans
for her soon-to-be dentist daughter’s graduation, the previous
issue of this newsletter landed in her mailbox. Jackie read
about the cornucopia of creative options, and quickly made an
appointment to come in and learn more about the MakerSpace.
“The staff was wonderful about working through the many ideas
with me,” said Jackie. “Once I learned about all the tools available,
I came up with a few more ideas. The staff patiently taught me
how to use the equipment, and it was loads of fun.”
Jackie is pictured with a few of the party pieces. The vinyl cutter
was used to make the framed table signs, as well as the white
vinyl teeth on the placeholders. The laser engraver was utilized
to engrave “daughter info” in the wooden bases for picture
frames. The laser
engraver was also
used to engrave
special messages
and illustrations
on water bottles
used at each
table.

Just ahead of
Valentine’s Day,
Ron Swidler
created a
Jackie Guagliardo and a few of her party pieces
created in the MakerSpace.
silhouette of his family on his computer
(dogs included, of course) as a gift to his wife.
Following that success, Ron returned to the MakerSpace with
designs of his three brothers’ families to create a collection of
silhouettes for his mom’s 80th birthday. The vinyl cutter and
the MakerSpace were just the tools and team he needed. The
silhouettes were cut from matte black vinyl, then mounted and
framed as beautiful keepsake birthday gifts.
For an upcoming 60th birthday party, a patron used the
embroidery machine to create special napkins, the laser
engraver for customized shot glasses, and the button machine
for…buttons!
What about personalized baby shower gifts, you ask? Bring in
some onesies and we’ll show you how to use the vinyl cutter
to create iron-on vinyl transfers. Yep, we’ve got the iron, too.
A huge birthday (or graduation) banner always adds a spark to
a celebration. That’s just what our large format printer is here
for, and so much more!
Dust off those boxes full of slides, photos, cassettes, and VHS
tapes. Our popular Digital Media Lab has all you need to
convert that old technology into accessible digital files.
With the reopening, we expanded the MakerSpace creative
team, so there is always someone here to train you on the tools
that will make your ideas a reality. In addition, we have a large
offering of classes for enthusiasts
at all levels. See page 7 for the
upcoming list of programs.
Full details about the MakerSpace
equipment and use, hours of
operation, and access to the online
reservation form are available at
deerfieldlibrary.org/makerspace.
Ron Swidler used the vinyl cutter to transform
his silhouettes into framed family gifts.

2.
3.
OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO ADDRESS THE BOARD, and CORRESPONDENCE
No request to address the Board.
CONSENT AGENDA
Mr. Ron Simon asked to pull the monthly financial reports, the variance report, and the minutes from the
Consent Agenda for further discussion,
a. Minutes: Regular meeting May 20
Mr. Howard Handler noted that in the May 20th minutes, the votes did not specify who abstained and who
voted 'aye'. He pointed out that the three new board members, Jean Reuther, Maureen Wener and he,
were not present for those meetings and therefore chose to abstain from the vote to approve the minutes.
MOTION: Mr. Ken Abosch made a motion to approve the minutes of May 20th with corrections showing who
abstained and who voted for the minutes presented at that meeting, seconded by Mr. Schriftman
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Howard Handler, Jean Reuther, Seth Schriftman, Ron Simon, and Maureen Wener.
The motion was approved.
b.
Financials: Balance Sheet, Revenues and Expenses, Variance report, Investments Report
Mr. Seth Schriftman pointed out that an entry on the Revenue and Expense Report, under the prior year,
had been entered in the wrong cell. Noting that this is a problem with creating financial reports in Excel, he
said that the Finance Committee will be considering how to address financial software issues.
MOTION: Mr. Schriftman made a motion to approve the monthly financial reports, seconded by Ms. Jean
Reuther
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Howard Handler, Jean Reuther, Seth Schriftman, Ron Simon, and Maureen Wener.
The motion was approved.
Mr. Simon noted that the Variance Report said that the total revenue received year-to-date is substantially
less than the expenditures made. He asked Ms. Trisha Steele to explain the disparity.
Ms. Steele outlined the Library's annual cash flow, which primarily consists of two months of cash inflows,
June and September real estate tax receipts, but fairly consistent expenditures made every month. This
cash flow pattern requires planning sufficient funds available to cover numerous months each year.
MOTION: Mr. Schriftman made a motion to approve the Variance Report, seconded by Ms. Maureen Wener
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Howard Handler, Jean Reuther, Seth Schriftman, Ron Simon, and Maureen Wener.
The motion was approved.

Regular Meeting Minutes
June 17, 2015
4. TREASURER REPORT
a. List of checks and payments for approval
Mr. Schriftman presented the list of checks to be approved for payment, which included
Electronic payments from the E-Pay Illinois Funds account
230.06
Petty cash checks 488 through 491
170.40
General Fund checks 8902 through 8975
85.556.70
The total amount presented for approval was
$85.957.16
Ms. Maureen Wener asked for information about a purchase of pens in excess of $700. Ms. Anthony
explained that these are the pens provided throughout the Library as promotional as well as functional
items and they are purchased in a large bulk.
MOTION: Mr. Abosch made a motion to approve the list of checks and payments, seconded by Ms. Jean
Reuther.
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Howard Handler, Jean Reuther, Seth Schriftman, Ron Simon, and Maureen Wener.
The motion was approved.
b.
Update: Cash management procedures
Mr. Schriftman reviewed the process for replenishing the petty cash fund account, noting that an early
resolution authorizes the Business Manager to perform this activity. He also raised a question about
whether the Board needs to give specific authority to the Director to move funds between accounts. After
some discussion, it was determined that cash management is a basic responsibility of the Director.
Mr. Schriftman noted that budget discussions will need to begin only a few weeks after the new Director has
arrived. He asked members to consider broad-stroke goals for the next year so that staff can be given
preliminary guidance for the preparation of a budget proposal. Mr. Simon noted that Ms. Pergander, the
previous Director, had left a list of suggestions that need to be considered. Ms. Anthony said she would
consult with the Management Team regarding current needs. Mr. Schriftman noted that the Board was
interested, for example, in purchasing another memorial, such as leaves on a tree for donors. This will need
to be included in the budgeting process and members should consider if there are other such items.
c.
Resolution to establish plan coordinator for ICMA retirement program
Ms. Steele explained that the ICMA voluntary retirement savings plan was established by the Board in 1993.
At that time, the Treasurer was identified as the Library's account administrator. She outlined how the
management and laws governing IRS 457 plans have changed over the years and pointed out that the Village
Finance Director has, in fact, acted as the account administrator, processing enrollees and changes in
participation. She recommended changing the position responsible for account administration to the Village
Finance Director, who has agreed to continue performing this function.
MOTION: Mr. Schriftman made a motion to approve a resolution to change the account administrator for the
ICMA 457 Retirement Savings Plan from the Library's Board Treasurer to the Village Finance Director, seconded
by Ms. Wener.
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Howard Handler, Jean Reuther, Seth Schriftman, Ron Simon, and Maureen Wener.
The motion was approved.
Mr. Schriftman pointed out that each Board member had received a copy of the final draft of the 2014 Audited
financial reports and Auditor's Letter to the Board.

Regular Meeting Minutes

5. FRIENDS LIAISON REPORT
Ms. Susan Karp, President of the Friends of Deerfield Library Board, introduced Ms. Sue Gottlieb as another
member of the Friends' Board.
Ms. Gottlieb provided an update regarding the recent activities and plans of the Friends. Her discussion
included Farmers' Market plans, July 18 Cookbook & Children's Book Sale and the upcoming Zucchini Day.
Library Board members were encouraged to join. Ms. Karp reviewed the group's financial goals and
accomplishments. She also noted that the Friends Board is looking to fill additional board positions. There was
a request to a contact former Library Board member and Ms. Steele said she would follow-up on that request.
Item 9 d. - Discussion of thefts from The Friends of the Deerfield Public Library Book area and response to letter
from the Friends' Board
Mr. Simon asked to move this item up on the agenda to accommodate the representatives of the Friends. There
was no dissent. He outlined the problem regarding a patron that has been stealing books from the Friends area.
The intention of providing the books was discussed, noting that it is not meant as the provision of free materials
or as a sale of merchandise, but to encourage donations in support of the Library.
Ms. Anthony reviewed information she found regarding past incidents and legal advice. Alternative solutions
were discussed, including changing the sign, the process for collecting donations, and the security system. Mr.
Simon noted that communication between the Library and the Friends will improve.
MOTION: Mr. Abosch made a motion to direct the Interim Director to try to locate the person responsible for
the thefts, send a letter regarding the purpose of the Friends books, and to advise him that any future actions
could result in further action by the Board. The motion was seconded by Ms. Reuther.
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Howard Handler, Jean Reuther, Seth Schriftman, Ron Simon, and Maureen Wener.
The motion was approved.
6. VILLAGE LIAISON REPORT
Mr. Bill Seiden introduced himself to the new Board members and provided a brief outline of his experience
with libraries and in Deerfield. He reviewed items relating to the Village that could impact the Library, included
the placement of a marijuana distribution site in Deerfield, and the water meter replacement program.
7.
LIBRARY DIRECTOR REPORT
At the meeting, Ms. Anthony first addressed items b, c and d before returning to item a - highlights of her
written report.
a. Highlights from Director's written report
Ms. Anthony reviewed the success of the Summer Reading Program kickoff. Marketing and public access to
the program was discussed.
The availability of new resources was discussed, including new l-macs for patrons, help desk software for
staff, and an extension of outreach efforts.
Changes in staffing occurred in May, when nine Pages were promoted to Library Aides, in recognition of
additional responsibilities performed by the staff.
A police incident that occurred on June 8th was reviewed.
b.
Update - Replacement of main electrical switch and Library closure on June 2
Ms. Anthony reviewed how the main panel had been damaged in June 2014 by rainwater. She explained
the process for the repair work performed by Carey Electric and noted that an additional leak site was
discovered and also repaired. The building was reopened to the public on June 3rd, earlier than anticipated.
Carey Electric will return to install a meter when the part becomes available.

8.
Update - Upgrade of 3M self-check stations
Ms. Anthony announced that the upcoming upgrade to the 3M self-check stations will include 19" wide
monitors which will be used to promote Library programs and resources.
Update - Loss of DVDs and Blu-rays, and action taken
Ms. Anthony reported that the Library had experienced a number of losses of DVDs and Blu-rays in the last
four to six months and that the loss had been reported to the Police on May 20th. She reviewed changes in
processes to address the issue, including the installation of an additional security camera.
Mr. Abosch said that input from other libraries shows that there is a cost-benefit consideration in
implementing theft-prevention measures.
OLD BUSINESS
a. Approval of April 20 closed session minutes.
Mr. Abosch noted that agenda should be corrected because there were two closed session meetings. The
minutes for May 12th should also be included.
MOTION: Mr. Simon made a motion to approve the closed session minutes, seconded by Mr. Schriftman.
Vote: 3 yes - Ken Abosch, Seth Schriftman, and Ron Simon
3 abstained - Howard Handler, Jean Reuther, and Maureen Wener. The motion was not approved.
b. Approval of May 12 Special Board Meeting Minutes.

session and asked that the minutes be approved.
MOTION: Mr. Schriftman a motion to approve the minutes of May 12th, seconded by Mr. Simon.
Vote: 3 yes - Ken Abosch, Seth Schriftman, and Ron Simon

The time for the session was established as 10:00 a.m. to 12 noon.
c.
Email addresses for board members @deerfieldlibrary.org and instructions for accessing email remotely
Ms. Anthony reviewed the option for this email address and asked Board members to email Mr. Tom
Owen, Head of IT, if it is desired. Mr. Handler described the advantage of having the Library conserve the
emails for FOIA purposes, where the burden will be on the Library to provide them, should they be
requested. Mr. Abosch asked Mr. Seiden how the Village Board members handle their board-related email.
Mr. Seiden said that each Village Board member uses his/her own personal email address.
d. Discussion of thefts from The Friends of the Deerfield Public Library Book Sale and response to letter from
the Friends' Board
This item was moved to an earlier point on the agenda, following Item 5 - FRIENDS LIAISON REPORT

f.
Update from Memorials Committee
Mr. Simon, the Chair of the Memorials Committee, reviewed his research regarding how other Libraries
have honored people, named rooms, processed gift giving, etc. He explained that the Library's current
gifting policies are weak. The Committee's goal is to establish clear guidance for the Board to use when
taking action. Also, it will be helpful for future boards to maintain the reason a room is named for
someone. He reviewed some of the ideas under consideration, including mounting a tree whose leaves
include names of donors at the top of the stairway, and the use of nameplates stating "Donated by...''. Mr.
Simon invited all members to participate in the Committee's discussions. Ms. Wener asked to join the
Committee.
g.
Schedule next Committee Meeting
Mr. Simon announced that he would send out information regarding the next committee meeting options,
blind-copying each Board member, noting that no group conversation can occur outside of a public
meeting. The agenda and date will be provided to the office in sufficient time to post the meeting.
Other-The Board members reviewed the July Fourth activity plans.
h.
Discussion of Sunday hours
Mr. Schriftman reviewed the current scheduling and compensation for Sundays and stated that he had
been asked about extending the hours. There was discussion regarding the impact of a change in Sunday
hours and how those issues could be addressed. Mr. Simon stated that the Strategic Planning process is
the place to consider this, along with the many other issues raised, such as adding staff, changing
compensation practices, and whether new objectives will justify changing the current staffing levels. There
was some discussion regarding the process of strategic planning and members discussed various options
for addressing the processes and how other public entities have handled the process.
Other-The Board members discussed changing Board meeting times to accommodate lengthy Board
discussions and how the public might have access to the meeting should they wish to join it after 9:00 p.m.
when the front doors are locked. Resolutions considered included: a doorbell, a sign on the door, keeping
a staff member at the front door, sending the issue back to committee, and holding the meeting at the
Village Hall. Mr. Handler suggested that an off-duty officer could be employed in case someone might
want to enter the building. Mr. Abosch noted that, in the last ten years, there has not been a single time
when anyone came to attend a meeting mid-way, much less at the end.
10. EXECUTIVE SESSION
No executive session held.
11. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, Mr. Schriftman made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Ms. Reuther. The
motion was approved and the meeting was adjourned.

funding since the State was reducing the Village's revenues. Mr. Seiden explained that the Library's revenue
source, the property tax levy, is a separate source that is not affected by Village actions.
8.
LIBRARY DIRECTOR REPORT
a. Highlights from Director's written report
Ms. Pergander shared the following highlights: This is my last monthly report for the Board. I have greatly
appreciated the opportunity to serve this community, and I appreciate all the support I have received from
the Board. All the staff members appreciated the treats provided by the board for National Library Week.
The chairs in Youth Services were replaced by the manufacturer due to fabric flaws resulting in premature
wear and splitting. Claire Steiner, Ellen Kaiser, along with other managers and staff members, successfully
combined the lower level service desks, and also created a new seating area using furnishings already in the
building. Tony Keaton and Meg Anthony are prepared for the two day electrical work, and Judy Hoffman and
others are creating an information campaign to alert the public. We have contracted for two large flower
pots for the outer front entrance, which the landscapers will fill three times seasonally per year. Members of
the management team are pitching in to support Meg as Interim, with certain redundancies of training
helping assure a smooth transition and adequate coverage of key responsibilities. Trisha Steele helped
arrange for free chair massages for staff members to celebrate National Library Week. The Park District,
Village, and Library are continuing talks to improve coordination of health care plans. There are only minor
changes in charges at this time, pending more information late fall. The audit is nearing completion. There
were 59 reservations for the large meeting rooms last month. Ellen Kaiser of Patron services received $355
of materials returned after she sent personal reminder letters last month. Six Assistants are attending
Reaching Forward. Sayaka Suzuki staffed a recruiting table at the jobs fair at Trinity University. All current
Pages were promoted to Library Aide. The Support Services department is cleaning about 30 discs per day.
Pam Skittino also oversaw the addition of Picture Books, Adult Nonfiction, and Adult Fiction as new catalog
options. We had our highest circulation ever in 2014 at 485,518. Also, Youth programming attendance has
increased from 4,761 to 13,500 in two years, while Adult similarly increased from 808 to 3201 in the same
period.
b. Thank You from staff for the wonderful staff appreciation treats
See above.
c. Loss of DVDs and Blu-rays, and action taken
In addition to the addition of the security camera mentioned above, we are reporting the losses to police,
and are taking other steps to secure the collection.

Regular Meeting Minutes

d. Server room HVAC issues
We have had very serious humidity issues in the Library and the server room, with humidity reaching over
80%. The Engineer who designed the system has been contacted and is checking the entire system design
e.
f.
g-
for areas needing attention.
Social media and staff Intranet update
There is significantly increased activity on our social media reach and engagement in just the past few weeks
after the arrival of our new Digital Media Coordinator. We are adding one security camera to the Media area
while evaluating other future additions. Tom Owen conducted a staff survey about proposed Intranet
improvements, and he is targeting the top requests by staff for the first rounds of improvements.
Update - Zingerman's customer service training half-day for staff
Ms. Pergander reviewed the nine-month history of the move to incorporate Zingerman's principles, initially
introduced by Ellen Kaiser. In April, the Library staff attended a half day session led by a Zingerman's trainer.
It was very well received by staff.
Update - GIVING button for donations, and related donation information
The proposed GIVING button has been implemented, and the button leads to a page offering the
opportunity to donate to the Friends or the Library.
Mr. Abosch asked about the uses of surveillance cameras in the Library where thefts have occurred, how they
will help when patrons can move materials anywhere in the Library, and whether there would be signage. Ms.
Pergander confirmed that signage is already posted. There was some discussion regarding other actions the
Library might take to address the loss of materials, including checking Amazon for the sale of similar items but
with missing cases, moving the collections, and increasing supervision in the areas of theft.
9.
OLD BUSINESS
a. Approval of Library Director lump sum performance-based salary adjustment
Mr. Simon said that the Board had discussed the suggested lump sum performance-based salary
adjustment previously in a closed session. He explained the timing of the annual salary adjustments and
the purpose of the proposed payment.
MOTION: Mr. Schriftman made a motion to approve the lump sum performance-based salary adjustment of
$800 to the Library Director, seconded by Mr. Abosch
Vote: 7 yes - Ken Abosch, Michael Goldberg, Howard Handler, Jean Reuther, Seth Schriftman, Ron Simon, and
Maureen Wener. The motion was approved.
b.
Recommendation to not release to the public closed minutes reviewed at the April 15 closed meeting
session
The process for releasing closed minutes was discussed. Mr. Abosch noted that a review and
reconsideration of all closed minutes is required every six months and that action must be taken only in
open session. Ms. Pergander said that the closed minutes are retained on tape, as well as in written form.
Mr. Howard Handler asked how old the closed minutes are. It was explained that some are from the mid2000's. Those that have to do with particularly sensitive personnel or lawsuit issues have been kept closed.
Mr. Simon reviewed the advice given by legal counsel, and noted that closed minutes can be opened in the
future if the Board members choose to take that action.
MOTION: Mr. Goldberg made a motion to not release to the public the closed minutes reviewed at the April 15
closed meeting session, seconded by Mr. Schriftman
Vote: 5 yes - Ken Abosch, Michael Goldberg, Jean Reuther, Seth Schriftman, and Ron Simon.

Update - Replacement of main electrical switch and Library closure on June 2 and 3
This item was covered under the Director's Report.
Farmer's Market dates (Aug. 1, Sept. 26) and assignments for Board members
Mr. Simon reviewed what usually occurs at the Village of Deerfield Farmers' Market. He said that the
primary purpose is to see the public, answer questions, and to collect input and suggestions. He explained
that staff set up the table and materials, and Board members usually man the booth between 9:00 a.m. to
noon. There are typically two Board members for each date, although more members are welcomed.
Ms. Pergander noted that staff covers two other Farmers' Market dates and representatives from the
Friends group are present on other dates too.
Ms. Reuther & Mr. Abosch volunteered to man the booth on August 1st. Ms. Wener said that she is available
for both dates. Mr. Handler and Mr. Schriftman volunteered to cover the booth on September 26th.
10. NEW BUSINESS
a. Recommendation to hire new Library Director
Mr. Simon explained the director search process and thanked Mr. Abosch for his leadership on the search
committee.
Mr. Abosch reviewed the offer letter provided and said that it had been accepted. He then reviewed some
of the experience that Ms. Amy Falasz-Peterson has as a Director, including a referendum and a
collaborative building project.
Ms. Wener asked why Ms. Falasz-Peterson is changing jobs. Mr. Abosch explained that, although she really
enjoys her current position, she is originally from this area; also there is a higher usage of the library in
Deerfield and there are other challenges and opportunities here. Mr. Simon added that Ms. FalaszPeterson was not looking for a new position when the consultant contacted her.
Mr. Abosch reviewed the basic structure of offer, including the annual salary and wage per pay period,
establishing goals, the performance-based bonus target and maximum, the Board's performance review,
and a signing bonus that can be used to assist with relocation expenses and previously established vacation
plans. He stated that other aspects of the offer are all in accordance with the Library's established
employment practices and personnel policies.
MOTION: Mr. Goldberg made a motion to approve hiring Ms. Amy Falasz-Peterson, in accordance with the
package as presented by Mr. Abosch, seconded by Mr. Schriftman
Vote: 7 yes - Ken Abosch, Michael Goldberg, Howard Handler, Jean Reuther, Seth Schriftman, Ron Simon, and
Maureen Wener. The motion was approved.
Mr. Handler asked about the process for giving notice to the public regarding the new director. Mr. Simon
outlined the planned press releases and described the other notifications to peers.
b.
Discussion of and possible change to vacation accrual schedule/policy
It was decided that this topic does not need to be modified; it was not discussed.

e.
Scheduling of Board Orientation Session - Financials
Mr. Schriftman discussed the financial review processes and board responsibilities. He encouraged all
Board members to attend. He said the session is typically a Saturday morning, between 9:30 and 11:30
a.m. Ms. Trisha Steele, Business Manager, will coordinate the date and time of the upcoming session.
f.
Banned patron review and recommendation regarding privileges
Mr. Simon reviewed the process used for banning a patron, and he also reviewed the communication
provided for a particular case. There was discussion about particular behavior that involved children, which
came to light after the original communications were made, and whether the banning process needed to
be renewed. Ms. Reuther asked Ms. Anthony, Head of Youth Services, for her input. Ms. Anthony
discussed the rise in unattended children, which makes the described behavior more troubling.
Mr. Goldberg pointed out that a ban communicates how seriously the Board takes certain behavior. He
noted that the Board needs to recognize that the patron in this case provided an immediate response, with
an apology and recognition of his actions. Mr. Goldberg asked the Board members what other specific
thing would need to happen to make a difference at a later time.
Safety concerns and the difficulty of the decision process were discussed, including how to weigh the rights
of patrons, staff, and children. Also discussed were the length of a ban, past legal advice, the reviewing
process, and the availability of information from other sources, such as the local police. The current
transition at the library and its impact on the situation was discussed. Various alternatives were aired.
MOTION: Mr. Simon made a motion to establish a three-month ban, to be lifted on September 1st, based on the
inappropriate behavior in the Quiet Room; and, that the patron be notified of the other incidents reported; the
motion was seconded by Ms. Wener.
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Michael Goldberg, Jean Reuther, Seth Schriftman, Ron Simon, and Maureen Wener.
1 no - Howard Handler. The motion was approved.

Recommendation to approve furnishings quote for Youth Services workstations, and discuss
plans for Support Services
Ms. Anthony reviewed the proposed changes to the Youth work area. She explained the department's
staffing plan, described the process for sharing desks, and the consequences to productivity.
MOTION: Mr. Goldberg made a motion to approve the recommended furnishing changes to the Youth
Department, at a cost not to exceed $4,000. Mr. Schriftman provided a second to the motion.
Vote: 7 yes - Ken Abosch, Michael Goldberg, Howard Handler, Jean Reuther, Seth Schriftman, Ron Simon, and
Maureen Wener. The motion was approved.
h.
Update from Memorials Committee
Mr. Simon asked that this item be added to the next Board meeting's agenda. He reviewed the mission of
committee, and the need for an improved and formal policy, noting that a case-by-case basis is not
sufficient.
Processes were discussed, including how research is conducted, the involvement of staff, and the Board's
engagement. Mr. Simon said he would like to have a committee meeting scheduled with all Board
members invited.
i.
REMINDER - Art Festival Preview Party, May 29, 6 to 8 pm, Village Hall
Ms. Pergander reviewed the Art Festival Preview Party, explaining that it is an opportunity to network with
the other Village movers and shakers. Mr. Abosch noted that spouses can be included but that attendance
does require an RSVP.
11. OTHER DISCUSSION ITEMS
a.
Mr. Schriftman asked about the protocol for Board member email addresses, noting that one member has
an email address at deerfieldlibrary.org. Mr. Handler said that using this email address will help to avoid
FOIA request complications, but Ms. Pergander explained that a FOIA request could be placed for all Board
member emails regardless of the email address. Ms. Wener said providing board email addresses
@deerfieldlibrary.org seems like a good idea and it was suggested that the idea be placed on next
meeting's agenda.
b.
Mr. Abosch inquired how closed session minutes can be approved without releasing them. Ms. Pergander
said that the minute dates can be placed on the next agenda.
12. EXECUTIVE SESSION
No executive session held.
13. ADJOURNMENT

8. LIBRARY DIRECTOR REPORT
The Library Director, Ms. Pergander, provided the following information:
a. Highlights from Director's written report
Since there are currently no Goals identified for 2015, the report focused on other activities. We are
preparing to launch two new e-newsletters, featuring programs of interest for patrons. New patron
computers have been deployed and are faster, safer, and easier to use. The annual audit is underway and
proceeding smoothly. There were 73 meeting room set-ups in March. The planned $991,000 transfer of
funds was completed. Pinterest has gone live. Our Digital Media Coordinator has received a promotion from
a former employer and will be leaving soon. Apple computers for Youth have been deployed and are quite
popular. Apple computers for adults will follow soon. We successfully completed the food drive for West
Deerfield Township food pantry. Nina Michaels, our Teen Librarian, participated in the Optimists youth
recognition ceremony by presenting certificates to teen volunteers form our teen program. The Youth and
Support Services area workspaces need additional and realigned configurations and furnishings. The
department heads and Director met with a furnishings consultant to plan these changes and obtain quotes.
The rolling chairs in the Youth study rooms have been replaced at no charge by the manufacturer because of
fabric problems. The replacement of the main electrical panel due to water damage form the summer 2014
flood has been approved by our insurance company and will take place on June 2 and 3. The Library will be
closed for those two days. A communications plan will be in place to notify community members of the
closure, and staff will be paid for the time as for snow days. There have been a number of recent DVD thefts.
This is being carefully tracked and some changes are being made to reduce risk. Judy Hoffman has
registered the Board for the July 4 parade, and red, white, and blue rubber bracelets will be the giveaways. If
the Teen volunteers join the Board in walking for the parade, we will be sure that a responsible staff
member is with them at all times until the end of the parade. Board members wear Board-logo polo shirts,
and we are buying them for the new Board members as well. Ms. Pergander also shared the new charts
about the Library collections and usage, which the Board appreciated. These were developed by Pam
Skittino. Ms. Pergander reported that a patron was recently temporarily banned for multiple violations of
the patron Behavior Policy. Because this occurred just before the Board meeting, she will bring the case next
month for further discussion, after obtaining more details.
b. Update regarding art purchases made possible by Friends' donation
The "robot" prints have been ordered, and will be matted and framed. These were made possible by the
Friends of the Deerfield Library as part of the recent Wish List pledge.
c. Update: Combination of lower level service desks and create seating area using existing furnishings
Next week we will be combining the two lower level service desks and also creating a new seating area on
the lower level. Staff members have been included in preparing for the changes, to assure role clarity. To
avoid staff injuries, we are using a moving company to move the large, heavy pieces.
d. Health insurance update for next year
The Library, Village, and Park District met about the health insurance pool and future changes due to
Obamacare. At the current time only minor pricing changes are being made, until the issues can be studied
further for implementation at the beginning of 2016.
In further discussion, Mr. Goldberg asked about the quantity of the July 4th give-a-ways. Mr. Abosch
suggested increasing the quantity by another 500-1000, to assure we have enough.
Ms. Pergander will follow-up, and added that any bracelets left over can be used at the County Fair or for
other events. Mr. Rivlin suggested using the bracelets to promote web traffic by including a mark (star?) on
a few for winners. Mr. Abosch suggested that perhaps it could be implemented at another event, such as
the Farmers Market. Ms. Pergander will look into it.

Regular Meeting Minutes

Mr. Simon asked about the new Administrative Associate. Ms. Trisha Steele explained that Ms. Mary
Holtrop, an experienced Business Manager from Sycamore Library, had recently joined the Business Office
staff and will provide about ten hours of business office assistance per week, replacing an employee who
left for a full time position elsewhere.
9. OLD BUSINESS
a. Reminder of new board member orientation on April 25, and May 20 swearing in of new Board members
Mr. Simon announced the upcoming orientation session, noting that it will start at 9:30 a.m. Mr. Goldberg,
Ms. Pergander, and Mr. Simon outlined the plans for the orientation and May 20th meeting, when the new
Board members will be sworn-in. The Farewell Event for Ms. Pergander, on May 21st, was also discussed.
b.
Update - GIVING button for donations, and related donation information
Ms. Pergander noted that the Giving Policy needs to be finalized and Mr. Simon asked that the Board be
provided a summary.
c.
Update - Recruitment of new Library Director
Mr. Abosch reviewed the progress of the new director selection process. He said that Ms. Lynn Elam has
recommended four candidates for the Board's consideration. Next Monday the Search Committee plans to
review the recommended candidates and determine who should be finalists. The Committee also plans to
consider the logistics for the next steps in the selection process, including the naming of a possible Interim
Director. Mr. Abosch also asked Ms. Pergander if there are viable candidates in-house for providing interim
coverage as there is some interest from outside.
He also outlined the importance of the candidates' interactions with staff and asked how it might be
structured to accomplish two purposes: 1) to provide interaction with staff for the candidate, and 2) to get
staff input.
Mr. Simon asked to have staff send possible interview questions that staff have to Mr. Abosch so that the
Board can consider them.
d.
Follow-up regarding automatic interior doors
Ms. Pergander outlined the steps taken to address a concern regarding automatic interior doors. She said
she had contacted the patron who originally notified the Library about the issue and informed her of the
changes made so far to the door in the Quiet Room. The patron will check the door.
Mr. Abosch reported that he has watched for how other public buildings have handled this issue, and noted
that there were no automatic doors available in a quiet room he found at the airport.
e.
Update - Replacement of main electrical switch
No information provided at this point in the meeting.
10. NEW BUSINESS
a. Letters of interest in Board officer positions for May election
Mr. Simon announced that three letters of interest have been submitted to date and that Board officers will
be elected in May, after the new members are sworn-in. Additional nominations will be possible at that
time.
b. Recommendation to purchase budgeted replacement server for Sierra System at a cost not to exceed $27,100
Ms. Pergander announced that the quote for the replacement server has been reduced to $25,725 and
added that the warranty is for three years.

Regular Meeting Minutes
April 15, 2015
MOTION: Mr. Rivlin made a motion to approve the purchase of a replacement server for the Sierra System at a
cost not to exceed $25,725 and it was seconded by Ms. Luisa Ellenbogen.
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman, and Ron Simon. The
motion was approved.
Other item for discussion
Mr. Rivlin said that patrons continue to say that the Library still needs some warming elements, and that he
is particularly disappointed in the fireplace. He suggested that some modifications, such as logs, might help.
Mr. Rivlin encouraged the Board to explore new options because it was a high priority during the creation of
the Library Improvement Project.
Mr. Simon asked for additional comments and Mr. Schriftman agreed that the anticipated ambiance is
lacking, and creating more of a real fireplace appearance would help. Ms. Ellenbogen also noted that the
surrounding area is not very welcoming and is not used as often as other areas.
Mr. Simon shared a list of issues that he hopes the new Director might help the Board to address and
reviewed some of his own high priorities. He suggested that the appearance and function of the fireplace
area should be added to the list.
Additional ideas were suggested by the Board members regarding how to make the fireplace area seem
more like a reading nook, such as adding coffee table books, magazines, or the Lucky Duck collection to that
area.
Ms. Ellenbogen announced that the Staff Appreciation Event will be on April 23rd. She and Ms. Dembitz had
reviewed what was done in the previous year, which included evening shift pizzas as well as a breakfast, and
recommended that the same be provided. The logistics were discussed. The event is funded by the Board
members.
MOTION: Mr. Schriftman made a motion to move to a closed session for the purpose of reviewing prior closed
session minutes and to discuss personnel issues, as allowed by law. The motion was seconded by Ms. Ellenbogen.
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman, and Ron Simon. The
motion was approved and the open session was closed at 8:25 p.m.

6.
VILLAGE LIAISON REPORT

7.
LIBRARY DIRECTOR REPORT
The Library Director, Ms. Mary Pergander, provided the following information:
a. Highlights from Director's written report, including Preschool Fair, patron art donation offer, staff member
becoming Certified Genealogist, building issues
Our website had over 700 new visitors compared to the previous period. Tony Keaton has found a reliable,
inexpensive and permanent solution to the multiple issues of the front door locking mechanism. The solution
has been implemented and staff have expressed great appreciation that the issues are finally resolved. Two of
the three needed revisions to the Personnel Handbook have been completed and reported on elsewhere. The
development of proposed salary range changes has begun, using LACONI results. The audit preparations are
underway. We sprang a leak in the storage closet of meeting room C but caught it before damage was done.
Preventative measures were taken. (Mr. Abosch asked if anything can be installed to prevent the freezing of the
pipes. Ms. Pergander will follow-up on this.) One upper window in the Preschool pavilion mysteriously
cracked/shattered. The window was boarded up and a replacement has been ordered. Total meeting room set
ups for the month were 68. Additional assistance of about 6 hours per week is being explored. Six new groups
used the Library during the month, with 51 reservations total. The Center for Enriched Living is providing
volunteers twice a week to help dust the bookshelves. This is a vital service for us, and it is making a very
positive difference in our level of cleanliness, as well as providing valuable volunteer experience for the group.
Kary Henry coordinated our first Preschool Fair, to high acclaim by both the preschools and attendees. The
glowing reviews and a project summary were provided to the Board. Sayaka Suzuki and Judy Hoffman
represented the Library at the Lake Forest College job fair. We executed a Chamber e-blast for the small
business program, with registrations skyrocketing immediately afterward. We have contracted with a presenter
form Zingerman's to provide a half-day of customer service training for staff in late April. Support Services has
begun training staff members on serials functions, for cross-capabilities. The circulation in January was our
highest January ever recorded since we began in 2007. Similarly, there were 3,500 ebook downloads in the
month, compared to 2000 for the same month one year ago. Adult Services Librarian Anne Jamieson will be
pursuing Genealogy certification.
b.
Winter Wish List for Friends meeting - Update
A list of the Wish List items approved by the Friends was provided to the Board.
c.
Illinois Per Capita requirements for 2016-17
Ms. Pergander reviewed the 2015 Per Capita Grant requirements, with special focus on the Board's
responsibilities for the EDGE assessment discussions, since she will likely be gone before those take place.
Head of IT Tom Owen is completing the assessment, and can provide new leadership with the results, for

board discussion. This must be completed prior to September at the latest, so that the Grant application
reflects the completion of the requirement. Another requirement is the evaluation and fostering of
resource sharing options. Ms. Pergander recommends that the Board request that the management team
develop discussion points on this topic for the Board to evaluate and discuss.
Mr. Rivlin asked for clarification, recalling that last year he had reviewed the EDGE assessment materials for
the Board. Ms. Pergander clarified that last year we learned about assessment, now we must do it.
d. Progress report on salary schedule revisions based on LACONI 2014 survey
Ms. Pergander will bring proposed new schedules to the Board at the March meeting as planned, and will
discuss them first with Mr. Abosch.
e. Progress report on Policy review 2015 Ms. Pergander described the process to review all policies with the Board and update the complete manual
prior to her departure in May.
f. Plans regarding art purchases made possible by Friends' donation Since art-knowledgeable board members had given the green light previously, Ms. Pergander is proceeding
with a partial purchase of previously-selected art, using the money donated by the Friends.
g. Confirmation of date for honoring outgoing Board members Outgoing Board members will be honored at the April Board meeting.
h. Invitation to apply for Library Journal New Landmark Libraries Award
Upon further consideration, the Board and Ms. Pergander agreed that this award process is not feasible at
this time.
Mr. Rivlin asked about Library Journal Star Status. Ms. Pergander summarized that these are the libraries worthy
of exceptional recognition on a national level, based on four criteria used nationwide. She especially
appreciates advances such as increasing patron usage of computer services, which has moved us up in the
standings quite a bit compared to last year. There is a two to three year lag built into our reporting.
Mr. Rivlin suggested that Library might find ways to promote downloads with 4th of July Parade celebration and
library promotion.
Mr. Simon asked Ms. Pergander to confirm her final date, which will be Friday, May 29th.
8.
OLD BUSINESS
REVISED Prototype GIVE button for donations, and related donation
Ms. Pergander reviewed the changes made as requested at the last board meeting for the GIVE button,
which now says "GIVING" and is relocated in the DRAFT to the upper right of the Homepage. No content has
yet been developed, pending further approvals.
Report by Marla Dembitz on concerns expressed by Friends at recent meeting
i.
Ms. Dembitz reviewed a discussion held at the Friends' meeting regarding the Library's intention to
do passive fund raising. She explained that the Friends are concerned about causing confusion for
patrons, competition between the Library and the Friends group, tax accountability, and whether
such fund raising by the Library is too close to the recent tax referendum. She referenced the
Highland Park Library website use of a Library-based wish list as an example of the Friends'
concerns. Ms. Reich asked about the joint fund raising committee, where the Library and the
Friends could collaborate. She said the Friends may now be willing to allow usage of or support
grant opportunities which require the need of a 501(c) 3 status, which the Friends obtained several
years ago. Ms. Pergander expressed delight that the Friends may now be able to support the
Library's grant requests in this manner.
Page 3 of 6
�Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees
Regular Meeting Minutes
February 18, 2015
The board members discussed these points, explained that they feel the Board has a responsibility
to provide an avenue for different types of donations, such as bequests, and emphasized that no
competition is intended.
Ms. Pergander clarified that the website GIVING button would not link to specific wish list requests,
as it does for the Highland Park Library, but would lead to many avenues of engagement, including
giving to the Friends, honoring others with donations for books, making bequests, etc.
Ms. Reich state that she appreciated the clarification and that there had been a misunderstanding of
the Library's intentions.
ii.
Artwork donation
The Board members discussed the artwork recently offered to the Library by a private donor. The
discussion included size and whether the piece could be interpreted as having a religious message in
a public space. Members debated whether the artistic style fit the Library's image. After some
discussion, members advised the Director to decline the offered donation of artwork.
b.
Instructions to staff to reinstitute Library Trustee fee waiving and policy change
Ms. Pergander announced that the process has been reinstituted.
c.
Update - Personnel Handbook revision
Ms. Pergander reviewed the revisions, which included new wording about providing references, and
guidance regarding distracted driving. These are two of the three items the board asked to see revised.
MOTION: Mr. Michael Goldberg made a motion to approve the revisions, seconded by Ms. Dembitz.
Vote: 7 yes - Ken Abosch, Marla Bark Dembitz, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman,
and Ron Simon. The motion was approved.
d.
Next steps for recruiting new Library Director: Recommendation regarding recruiter and approval of
contract amount
Mr. Abosch reviewed the activities of the Search Committee which had recommended hiring Ms. Lynn as the
recruiter, for a contract fee of $14,000 plus expenses. He reported that this recommendation was approved
in a Special Board Meeting resolution. The Search Committee requested the authority to define the criteria
to be used in the selection process, authorize the placement of ads, and the screening of candidates. He
described the planned process going forward, which would end in a final six reviewed by the committee and
two or three finalists coming before the full board. Mr. Goldberg suggested that the whole board look at
the final six candidates. Mr. Abosch said he was fine with that change of plan, or any Board member can
attend and participate in the Search Committee activities. The final decision can be made when the process
gets closer to that point. Mr. Schriftman noted that after the election there may be a shift of perspective
among board members.
e.
Information about League of Women Voters candidate event March 15
Ms. Pergander announced that Sunday, March 15th, the League will provide an opportunity for contested
non-write-in seats to engage in a public question answering session, for both the Library and the Village
Trustee candidates. She noted that the League has said write-in candidates will not be included in the
session, although they may be introduced.
f.
Follow-up regarding automatic interior doors, survey results, quotes, and possible approval
Ms. Pergander reported her findings regarding public buildings with automatic doors. The board discussed
the cost and how many doors might need the assistance of automation. Mr. Goldberg suggested the doors
Page 4 of 6
�Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees
Regular Meeting Minutes

should be retrofitted. Mr. Abosch suggested that the Library should be professionally reviewed for this and
other ADA issues. Mr. Simon suggested that the tension on the doors might be changed. Ms. Pergander
said she would ask Dewberry about finding an ADA certified professional and determine what it costs to hire
the expert and will also call five local libraries to discover if they use any assisted-open or automatic doors
for internal spaces.
9.
g.
Update - Replacement of main electrical switch and possible insurance claim
Ms. Pergander reported that the case is being reviewed by our insurance carrier as a possible covered claim.
With seven weeks of lead time for parts, Ms. Pergander wants to move forward as soon as possible so that
the two closure dates will be in the next newsletter and the project will be completed prior to her leaving
May 29.
h.
Update - Youth Services tablets for children
As requested by the Board two months ago, Ms. Pergander provided the requested 60 day update, and
reviewed the process for checking the Nabi and iPad tablets in and out. She said that the Head of Youth
doesn't recommend any changes because parents sign them out and these tablets are not appealing to
older kids who want to also use the Internet. The Internet is not available on these tablets; they are
restricted to child-oriented materials.
NEW BUSINESS
a. Proposed dates for Trustees at Farmers Market
Ms. Pergander said that two dates are available in August: August 1 and 8. She also asked about the Board's
preference regarding the second set of choices: September or October. Mr. Schriftman said he would like to
participate and recommended September. All agreed.
b.
Proposal to combine lower level service desks and create seating area using existing furnishings
Ms. Pergander reviewed the suggested plan, which includes moving computer lines, phone lines, and she
also reviewed the benefits to patrons, including unified service location and an additional seating are to be
created where the second desk used to stand. The Board affirmed its approval of the project.
MOTION: Mr. Michael Goldberg made a motion to approve the plan to combine the lower level service desks
and provide an additional seating area, seconded by Mr. Seth Schriftman.
Vote: 7 yes - Ken Abosch, Marla Bark Dembitz, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman,
and Ron Simon. The motion was approved.
c.
Recommendation to purchase disc cleaner
Mr. Simon noted that the purchase is included in the current budget.
MOTION: Mr. Michael Goldberg made a motion to approve purchase of the proposed disc cleaner (not to
exceed $15,000), seconded by Mr. Seth Schriftman.
Vote: 7 yes - Ken Abosch, Marla Bark Dembitz, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman,
and Ron Simon. The motion was approved.
10. EXECUTIVE SESSION - The Board may go into Executive Session (closed to the public) to discuss personnel, legal,

Digital Deerfield:
DHS Yearbooks and more!
Story on page 2
�From the Director
In past columns, I’ve alluded to the
planned renovation of our Media area.
As this newsletter goes to press, we are
about ready to begin construction of
our new MakerSpace, a collaborative
workspace. First, the shelves will be
rotated, and the Media desk will be
moved. Later in August, we anticipate
full construction to begin, which should last approximately
4-6 weeks. Watch our social media channels and website
(deerfieldlibrary.org/makerspace) for information about
the opening of the new space.
The Library is committed to meeting the needs of our
community. We undertook this project as part of the Library’s
current Strategic Plan. From our research and planning in 2016,
we knew there was an interest in increased STEAM-related
offerings. The STEAM acronym stands for Science, Technology,
Engineering, Art, and Math. Since 2017, we have continued to
add new STEAM programs. These have included our popular
3D printing programs, as well as Tech Drop-ins, that provide
a casual opportunity to see new technologies in action.
We have also added non-traditional items, like our Discovery
Kits, to the library’s collection. The Discovery Kits focus on
STEAM and other creative concepts with hands-on making.
A kit is a curated collection of items available around a theme.
The new MakerSpace is going to house STEAM-related equipment and provide additional table seating for people to use all
hours the Library is open. When the construction is completed,
we will have a new, larger service desk across from the book
return, which will serve Media and additional patron needs.
There is more to share! Turn to page 11 for a rendering of the
new space, as well as a list of some of the equipment that we
will have available.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director

Summer 2019 | deerfieldlibrary.org
Summer Reading Program Kick-off Day
Saturday, June 8 • 9am-5pm
Details: Adults (p.3), Teens (p.7), Children (p.8)
�From the Director
Over the past editions of Browsing, I’ve
written about the fulfillment of the
Library’s current Strategic Plan, which
has been in place since 2017. We have
accomplished a number of the things
outlined in the plan, such as increasing
our program offerings, and adding more
copies of popular materials.
The final component to this plan is to reexamine our space to
create more seating, as well as introducing more technology
for the community with a new collaborative workspace.
At the March 2019 Board meeting, the Board hired a local
construction management firm, W.B. Olson, to manage
this project. Over the summer months, we will finalize the
documents and timeline the construction process. In the lead
up to the start of the construction, you’ll notice that some
things in the media section may be shifted. We anticipate
the start of construction will be later in the summer, and we
expect it to last approximately six weeks.
Automatic renewals are here!
Yes, it’s true. If your
checked out items are
eligible for renewal, it will
happen automatically,
up to two times! This
new service offered
by DPL provides the
convenience of enjoying
materials for a longer
period of time with less
worry about returning
them on time or
remembering to request
a renewal. Your to-do list
just got a little shorter!
The collaborative workspace is a multifunctional space
designed to help the Deerfield community learn, create,
collaborate, and have fun with technology. We will provide
everyone with equal access to materials and resources that
encourage learning in a welcoming environment. We will
be moving our very popular 3D printer into the new space,
and additional items under review for purchase are a laser
engraver, 3D scanner, and STEAM kits.
The workspace will include AV equipment such as a sound
booth, microphones, and a camera. We plan to have creative
crafting equipment, such as a sewing and embroidery
machine available for use. Finally, we’ll move our Digital
Media Lab from the basement so that all our patron-use
equipment is located in one space.
Watch our website and social media channels for more
information on this exciting new addition to DPL.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
How does it work?
• Two days before the due date, eligible items will
automatically renew for the full renewal period.
• What’s not eligible? Any item on hold for another
patron, Lucky Duck books, new videos, and items
acquired through interlibrary loan.
• Digital items (e-books, e-audiobooks, streaming
movies and music) are not affected.
How will I be notified?
• Patrons who have an e-mail address in their account
will get a courtesy notice letting them know which
items were not automatically renewed, and which
items now have a new due date.
• Patrons who receive text message notices will receive
a courtesy notice listing the items that were not
renewed.
How can I sign up for a courtesy notice?
• To sign up for email notification: ask in person at the
library, by phone, or update your patron account on
the Library website: deerfieldlibrary.org, Click on
“My Account” on top right side.
Reminder: You can check on your due dates anytime using the “My Account” link on our website.

�This newsletter’s focus is on the non-traditional items
that DPL has to offer. It’s an interesting idea. What is a
“non-traditional” item? According to my dad, a DVD is
something that he considers non-traditional. My dad is a
voracious reader and library user, and he uses his public
library for books.
As I reflect on my almost 20 year career as a librarian,
I remember when computers were considered nontraditional. Computers! Something so ubiquitous today
was quite the big deal when I began my career. The first
public library I worked at after library school had a
shelving range dedicated to regional Illinois phone books.
Speaking from personal experience, those were a hard
thing to shelve! We also had CD-ROMs instead of online
databases and a vertical file. A vertical file was a filing
cabinet that had folders of “current” information, as
well as things like maps. In my tenure at that library,
we got rid of the phone books and the vertical file to
add more, you guessed it, public access computers.
Public libraries have been adept at evolving and
changing to meet the needs of their individual
communities. Deerfield is no exception. In the past
year, our collection of non-traditional items has grown
considerably. As a public library, we are about meeting
our patrons’ information needs in a variety of formats.
We have learned that this can be in the form of a
Roku or a telescope or even a board game.
Check one out today!
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
Take home a telescope (and more)!
Once upon a time... long, long ago (ok, maybe just 20 years ago), most public libraries
had only print items for check-out, plus small collections of audio and video materials.
Fast-forward to 2018, and the DPL collection has creatively expanded to provide an
enhanced experience for our community.
Siona and Eva Rajshekhar (1-r, cover) are two of the Library’s most enthusiastic
users of “non-traditional” library materials. These Wilmot students have found that
their experience with DPL’s Discoveiy Kits stimulated an interest in STEAM (Science,
Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) activities. They have continued working
in these subject areas both at camp and school. Their interest in architecture and
engineering resulted in the cool wood structure on the cover, built with DPL’s KE\A kit.
Siona and Eva report that the structure represents the future headquarters for their
business, still in the planning stages, for “spy missions or dog walking, or both!”
Come on in and learn more about all this
fun stuff. You’ll find our non-traditional
materials in the Youth or Media
departments.

DEERFIELD
fj| Please register in advance at the Library, by phone at 847-945-3311 or
at deerfieldlibraryorg. Registration opens Wednesday, November 14.
In 1959, residents of Deerfield learned a housing developer planned to sell homes in the village to
black buyers as well as white buyers. Many residents opposed integration and sought to halt the
development. A smaller group, the Deerfield Citizens for Human Rights, formed in support of the
development. In the weeks that followed, Deerfield residents passed a park referendum designed to
condemn the developer’s land. The crisis in Deerfield became a national story, attracting the attention
of Martin Luther King Jr., James Baldwin, and Eleanor Roosevelt. After years of demonstrations and
legal battles, the land became parks that stand today.
Continuing a community tradition, the Library is inviting residents, historians, and experts to offer
new insights into this history. We have updated and digitized our archives, made new acquisitions and
discoveries. The Library is also partnering with Deerfield schools to enhance existing curriculum. We invite
you tojoin us for a series of discussions, lectures, exhibits and other opportunities to reflect on the 60 years
since the fight to integrate Deerfield began. Programs and exhibits run from January 21-May 2,2019.

Read Without Boundaries: Vol. 2
In 2018 we launched our year-long reading program, Read Without Boundaries,
designed to challenge readers to try new authors, genres, and topics. We had such a
great response to this program, and were honored when it was selected the winner of
the 2018 Illinois Library Association Readers’ Advisory Service Award.
Because of the program’s success, we’re excited to announce that the challenge will
continue in 2019, with an opportunity for teens to participate! Each month will focus
on a different theme and participants will be provided with a suggested reading list.
Participants can choose a suggested title or another title, as long as it fits the theme of
the month. In January, we will kick off the challenge by reading a book about Illinois
histoiy or a famous Illinoisan. Stop by the Adult Services desk beginning November 14
for more information and to sign up. Prizes will be awarded monthly and those who
complete all 12 months will be entered into a grand prize drawing.

�We thought it would be interesting to share some
statistical highlights of 2017. Following the trend for
public libraries nationwide, there is a very small
decline in our total circulation. We know that our print
collection remains popular, and our e-resources
circulation continue to grow.
What I find to be most interesting is the number of
people who still choose to come to DPL. Libraries are
the one public institution that serve people of every
age. Every day, we see people who are here enjoying a
magazine or using one of the study rooms as their
office. There are plenty of students who come to do
homework, and loads of kids enjoying the vibrant Youth
Services space. We’ve taken notice, and continue to
offer more resources and programs as our budget allows.
DPL, more than books!

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
