April 15, 2015
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
April 15, 2015
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.
11. EXECUTIVE SESSIONa. Closed session minutes review and recommendation

Report from the Finance meeting about Reserve Fund investments

purpose of the annual transfer of unused General Fund Balance to the Reserve Fund. He said that the
process had been postponed in the prior year due to the pending building renovation issues, but the goal
Page 1 of 6
�Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees
Regular Meeting Minutes
March 18, 2015
was to rebuild the Reserves to about $2 million, in anticipation of future and ongoing capital improvement
needs. Mr. Rivlin also reviewed the ladder investment plan for the Reserve Fund monies at PMA.
Mr. Rivlin explained the suggested modifications to the Investment Policy. The Committee recommends
that the Board modify the policy language to better reflect the Library's investment practices, which are
more conservative than what the current policy allows.
He reviewed the Committee's discussion about
collateral. He explained that if a collateral holding drops below A quality, it must be replaced and clarified
that the A range includes A- as well as A+.
[Item 9-b was discussed here.] Mr. Simon reviewed the approval process for Board policies, noting that the
Finance Committee had already reviewed and recommends the modified wording for the Investment Policy.
c.
Recommendation to transfer $991,000 from the General Fund to the Reserve Fund
Mr. Rivlin said that the Finance Committee recommends a transfer of $991,000 from the General Fund to
the Reserve Fund.
a.
Also at this point the Board discussed reconsideration of policy approval cycle and possible revision (Agenda
item 8.f.)
Ms. Pergander reviewed the current process.
After some discussion, it was decided that when there is a special committee related to the policy topic,
such as the Finance Committee and the Investment Policy, then that committee should review the policy
first. Some policies do not relate to another particular Board Committee and those should go directly to the
Policy Committee.
MOTION: Mr. Schriftman made a motion to approve the Finance Committee recommendations, which are to:
Approve the proposed change to routing of policies.
Adopt the proposed modifications to the Investment Policy which will result in a more conservative
investment policy, and
Transfer $991,000 from the General Fund to the Reserve Fund for the purpose of rebuilding the Reserve
Fund.
Seconded by Jeff Rivlin.
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman, and Ron Simon. The
motion was approved.

LIBRARY DIRECTOR REPORT
The Library Director, Ms. Mary Pergander, provided the following information:
a. Highlights from Director's written report
At the Library Board's request, in lieu of Goals 2015, Ms. Pergander created a list of recommended Next
Steps for the Board and new Director to consider for future efforts. Hoopla was successfully launched and
has been so popular that we will need to limit patron downloads. We are discussing implementing
NovelistSelect at the check-out stations, to further enhance the patron experience. Ms. Pergander recently
served as one of the editors for the Illinois State Library's new edition of Administrative Ready Reference, a
handy resource for Library staff and Boards. Eleven personalized collection letters were mailed in February,
and as a result $866 of materials were returned to the Library. Ms. Pergander reviewed the list of Current
Building and Furnishings Projects. Many of the projects are very low cost or covered by insurance. Two
others could cost $5 to $10 thousand dollars. There are over 18,000 uses of library cards by patrons every
month! The 2015 Blind Date with a book was a big hit with patrons. Over 90 books were selected, and 64%
of patrons liked their blind date book.
b. Director's Annual Report At the Board's request, instead of the complete annual summary often created at this time, a condensed
version featuring the highlights of the Library's accomplishments was shared with Board members.
c. Progress report on Policy Review 2015
The management team has a goal of having all Library policies reviewed and approved prior to the arrival of
the new Director. Even those without recommended changes or revised last year are being updated as
Policies 2015 for clarity and completeness. The process is proceeding smoothly, especially with the
suggested change to the Board-level review process.
d. Recommendation to create Pre-school Coordinator position in Youth services, within existing FTEs
The Board received an excellent report reviewing Preschool Outreach, created by Youth Associate Kary
Henry. Preschool Outreach, like School Liaison, and Teen Librarian, is a specific and highly active focus of
our Youth Department, and an expectation of our community. To better provide the focus needed,
management recommends the creation of Preschool Coordinator position, within existing FTEs. (There is an
FTE cap in place from pre-referendum.) This position would be parallel to and the same job-class as the
Adult Programming Coordinator, the Outreach Coordinator, and other Coordinator-type non-Librarian
positions. In addition, we would post this as Internal Recruitment Only, since it is NOT an addition to
employee count (FTE). Our Youth staff have been serving this need as well as possible - it is time to
formalize the role within the organization. (See Board motion below, in this section.)
e. Recommendation to reclassify most Library Page positions as Library Aides, due to evolving and expanded
duties
We have been using the 2014 LACONI Salary Survey for comparative purposes in evaluating and
recommending market-based changes to our salary ranges. In addition, Patron Services manager and
assistant manager have been conducting comparative studies of the types of responsibilities and tasks
performed by Pages and Clerks in other libraries. As a result, they have successfully demonstrated that the
work being performed routinely by persons classified as Pages at the Deerfield Public Library is more
consistent with work classified as Aide or Clerk in comparative libraries in the nearby area. Therefore, the
Page positions are recommended to be re-classified as Aide positions, and the wages of the persons
performing the tasks should be raised to the new salary level of the Aide job class. Their titles will also be
changed. Temporary position Pages, such as those who only perform shelving duties during the summer
months, and NOT the higher level routine tasks done by other Pages (now Aides), will continue to be paid at
the Page job class level and retain the Page title. All of this is consistent with the recommendation made for
the salary ranges and was reviewed by Mr. Abosch in advance. (See 9.a. for motion)

Update regarding art purchases made possible by Friends' donation
The "robot" prints for the Youth area have been ordered. Other art purchases have been postponed.
Update: Combination of lower level service desks and create seating area using existing furnishings
Plans to combine the two lower level service desks are proceeding. The move/combination is expected to
take place on April 20. Afterward, a seating area will be created where the Adult Service desk formerly
stood, allowing us to utilize excess furnishings from the Quiet Room, and resulting also in a rearrangement
of the Quiet Room spaces and furnishings.
Plans to honor outgoing board members on April 15
Outgoing board members will be honored with some special features at the April Board meeting. Since Ms.
Dembitz is unable to attend in April, we will plan to honor her at the May meeting if she can be available to
attend.
Reminder of orientation on April 26 and May 20 swearing in of new Board members
The planned orientation is scheduled for Saturday April 25th - correction from previous date. We will begin
at 9:15 am. The meeting should be over by noon.
May 20th is the first Board meeting for newly-elected Board members. Kent Street will be present to swear
them in.
Although the orientation will provide a financial overview, at the Board's suggestion additional Finance
Training will be scheduled at a later date
MOTION: Mr. Rivlin made a motion to approve the Preschool Coordinator position, seconded by Mr. Schriftman
Vote: All ayes. The motion was approved.

b. Update - GIVING button for donations, and related donation information
No further changes have been made.
c.
Update - Recruitment of new Library Director
Mr. Abosch said that the recruiter, Ms. Lynn Elam, had provided the following information: She is excited
about three candidates so far; two from the Chicago area and the third is from central Illinois. All have been
in high-level leadership roles. Also two other highly qualified candidates are considering the position. He
said that the total number of inquiries was not available.
Mr. Abosch said that the next step is to prepare sample writing documents and create dossiers. He
discussed the background check process and how any possible conflicts of interest should be openly
addressed. He announced that Ms. Miriam Pollack will assist with research and other background activities.
Potential meeting dates were discussed. It was suggested that the committee review candidates on April
20th, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. May 5 was discussed for conducting interviews, and May 12th as a fall-back date,
although not all board members will be available.
d.
Follow-up regarding automatic interior doors, survey results, quotes, and possible approval
Mr. Simon reviewed the information collected by Ms. Pergander in a survey of other area libraries and
governmental buildings regarding interior assistance opening doors. He said that no local libraries provide
this option.
Mr. Abosch asked if any door besides those to the Quiet Room were being considered and it was confirmed
that those are the only doors under consideration at this time.
Page 4 of 6
�Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees
Regular Meeting Minutes
March 18, 2015
Ms. Pergander reported that the tension on the doors had been loosened, and it reduced the pressure by
about half. The members discussed ADA compliance, cost per door, other room doors, and possible
processes for obtaining assistance, if needed. It was decided that the Board has a responsibility to contact
the individual who brought the issue to their attention to see if the change made is adequate. Ms.
Pergander said she would follow-up.
e.
Update - Replacement of main electrical switch and possible insurance claim
Ms. Pergander said that the Library's insurance carrier had been contacted and will approve the claim.
There is a $1,000 deductible. It will involve closing the Library for two days to do the replacement. The
switch seems to be working at the moment. However, if the work is not scheduled, and the switch goes out,
then the Library could be closed for an extended time. There is a seven-week lead time for the necessary
parts.
MOTION: Mr. Schriftman made a motion to approve the replacement of the main electrical switch, 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.
f.
9.
Reconsideration of policy approval cycle and possible revision
This topic was discussed earlier. See 4.c. above.
NEW BUSINESS
a. Recommendation to approve new salary schedule revisions based on LACONI 2014 survey
Ms. Pergander explained the process of developing the new salary ranges. She said that she and Mr.
Abosch, a compensation professional, had then reviewed them together.
The Board members discussed the impact of the pending changes to minimum wage. It was noted that the
Page position can go up to $10 without being too compressed with Clerk/Aide range.
Mr. Abosch provided information regarding twenty-seven other states that have already adopted revised
minimum wages and said that it is still under consideration in Illinois.
MOTION: Mr. Goldberg made a motion to approve the revised salary range schedule, 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.
b.
Recommendation to approve policies reviewed by Finance Committee and recommended for Board
approval at its March 9 meeting, related to finance functions, as listed in the committee minutes
This item was discussed during the Treasurer's Report, in item 4-b.
c.
Reminder to submit letters of interest in Board officer positions prior to April meeting for May selection
Mr. Simon reviewed the process for nominating and electing Board officers. He reviewed past practices and
said that the Bylaws provide one-year terms for officers, and some officers can serve for more than one oneyear term if desired. However, the Bylaws state that the President cannot serve for more than two
consecutive one-year terms. Ms. Pergander reminded the Board members that officers will be elected in
May, after the new Board members are sworn in. At that time any of the Trustees can be nominated or
self-nominate for any office.

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

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.

�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!

�When I was a kid, the highlight
of my summer was participating in my library’s Summer
Reading Program. My sister and
I would plead with our mother
to take us to our library so that
we could check out books and
get our points for the prizes.
Little did I know that I was
keeping my brain sharp and
developing a lifelong love of
reading. I can’t help but
wonder if this also played into
my lifelong love of public
libraries.
Fun is Always
in Bloom @ DPL
We’re proud to announce that the Friends of the
Deerfield Public Library have sponsored a special space
designed just for little ones and their grownups. The Baby
Garden is a fully-enclosed, cozy play area for infants and early
walkers, with:
• A cushioned floor
• Developmental^ appropriate toys that are regularly
cleaned
• Engaging images, a mirror, and windows to the outside
• Hanging mobiles, so that even infants on their backs have
something to engage them
The Baby Garden is an ideal gathering space for
caregivers of little ones, and features:
• A cushioned bench for adult comfort
• Close proximity to the Board Book and Parenting
collections
• A natural light-filled space with a view to the outside
We are certain you will enjoy this welcoming, engaging, and
safe space to play at the Library.
Interested in learning more about our Friends of the
Deerfield Public Library? See page 11.
Kids who participate in
summer reading programs are
more likely to continue their
success the next school year.
Overall, students can lose up to
two months of reading skills
over the summer. But, we are
here to help! Reading just six
books over the course of the
summer will help keep your

Summer Reading Logo
Competition Winner
The inspired Reading by Design, logo you
see in this newsletter was created by Deer
field High School senior Cassidy Jackson.
Cassidy’s design was chosen through a
competition organized for artists in the AP
graphic design class taught by Tim Bleck.
Participants met multiple times with DPL
staff, providing the students an opportu
nity to learn about the Library’s summer
program, discuss their artistic vision, and
receive feedback throughout the design
process. Many thanks to Mr. Bleck for his
skilled guidance to all involved, including
DPL staff!

It may take some time to adjust to
the major shift of the nonfiction
books on the main floor. This shift
was necessary as the collection has
grown so much. Without enlarging
the building, the lower level Fiction
Room had been constructed and left
available space for collection growth.
The 800 s and the 900’s are now
in the east room next to biographies.
The videos are permanently on the
north wall. Books on cassette tape
are housed in temporary shelving in
this room.
In the west room, all Reference
materials and the 000 s through 700 s
were shifted forward on the shelves.
Circulating business books are now
merged into the circulating nonfic
tion collection (in numbered se
quence). A reference librarian can
assist you in finding materials.
In fall you will see more “sprucing
up” of public space. Architect R. Scott
Javore and Associates' plans have been
approved and renovation begins!

Those lines from Allen Ginsberg’s epic poem, Howl,
summed up and energized a whole generation in the
1950’s. I remember the first time I heard Ginsberg read
live from his work; it was like being hit by lightning.
Ginsberg's rhythms, wild phrasing, and meaningless
imagery overturned everything I had been taught, ev

ethical spokesman for my generation. I did not always
agree with either his life or his work, but his insight and

artistry plumbed the central issues of our age. Yes, he
occasionally verged on the bizarre in his appearance

and his poetry, but there always remained the vital, moral
ethical voice that never failed to ring out defining free

�Author Wlsoftss
Librarian’s DesH continued from pagel
no one does. While that thought was still roll
ing around in the back of my mind, Carl Sagan
and Jacques Cousteau also died and then that
idea began to really bother me. Who will speak
for us?
Certainly, I did not always agree with what
Sagan wrote or said, but behind the man was
that same moral ethical voice that had made
Allen Ginsberg part of my life. Sagan spoke and
wrote for years, but it took television to make
him a household word. His concern for the fu
ture, the environment and the whole world’s
quality of life is unparalleled today. Ultimately
Sagan became somewhat of a parody of him
self, lending his thought and delivery to comics
to mimic, but his moral ethical concerns remain
clear and direct. I only wish the current movie,
Contact, on which Sagan collaborated, was a
more fitting tribute to the man. Sagan's books
and thoughts will be with us for a long time.
I first learned the name Cousteau when in
19541 bought a two-hose scuba regulator used
for skin diving that was made in France and
marked Cousteau-Gagnan. I used that regu
lator to dive all over the state of Minnesota to
discover the unimpeded joys of scuba diving.
Later in the 1950’s Cousteau made his fame
with his books and the obscure French naval
officer, who in partnership with Emil Gagnon
developed the first practical underwater breath
ing device. Cousteau went far in his life, from
inventor and itinerant diver to probably the
most recognized and respected spokesman for
our natural environment. He spoke, wrote and
made films that delivered that same message
over and over: our world is precious and man
is working overtime to destroy it; save it now
or it will be lost forever.
Who will speak for us? The passing of these
three diverse men is an incalculable loss to us
as a society, made more important because
there is no one on the horizon who can take
their place. I see our generation as more inter
ested in entertainment and glamour than in
serious thought. The idea of the serious writer
as a major force in our lives is a concept that is
no longer important in our society. The ques
tion now is who will be the next celebrity telling
us they are going to Disneyworld. Since we get
all our ideas and heroes from films, entertain
ment and the media, it is an easy guess to pre
dict an increasing trivialization and commercial
ization of our lives. For now we are stuck with
witless news anchors, talk show hosts, and
sound bites. History proves everything in the
world—economics, social thought, politics,
world view—goes in cycles eventually we will
return to a point where the genius, wisdom and
humanity of Ginsberg, Sagan and Cousteau will
be appreciated. Who will speak for us?
In the meantime, I recommend this sam
pling of their writing. Ginsberg: Howland Other
Poems; Selected Poems 1947-1995; Allen
Verbatim; Kaddish and Other Poems and Air
plane Dreams. Sagan: Cosmos, Cosmic Con
nection; Broca's Brain; Planets and Pale Blue
Dot. Cousteau: The Living World; Silent World;
Jacques Cousteau's Calypso; Riches of the
Sea and Thex Sea in Danger.

Deerfield, IL 60015
Fall 1990
Vol 5, No. 4
/tc/1044- tfie
—The other side of Lake Wobegon—
A Death in White Bear Lake is a book
about an “All American City.” This^ is a
hard story to discuss because it deals with
a small boy savagely beaten to death by ftis
mother — a child abuser. But it is an im
portant book on several levels and for ver^
serious reasons.
The homicide took place in 1965 but
because people closed their hearts and
minds to the evil around them, the legal
system sputtered and faltered and the case
was filed away for twenty-two years. In
1987, through an unlikely series of events,
a group of everyday people did some very
extraordinary things to see that this murder
would not go unpunished.
A courageous medical examiner re
opened the files, a determined police force
^J3uilt a strong charge, and a dedicated legal
^A'stem pressed the trial to a just conclu^^ion. These brave and outraged people
remembered an innocent little boy and
demanded justice, unlike so many who did
not speak in 1965, or denied, or lied, or
intimated, or covered up.
The real question raised by this book is:
what would you or I have done? Would we
look away, harden our hearts, refuse to get
involved to protect ourselves? After twentytwo years would we still turn away? Would
we remember? Would we have the courage
to stand against evil? If not, how would we
choose to be remembered? The message is
clear — if this could happen to an “All
American City” it can happen anywhere.
If they could do it, we could do it. Inertia
and failure to act are the real unknowns;
how easy it is to be brave if you are never
put to the test.
The author, Barry Siegel, merits great
praise for outstanding reporting. This
haunting book has an amazing texture,
depth, and feel for time and place. John
Donne wrote that... “no man is an island,”
a phrase that has a special meaning to me
because the crib side doctor who saw a
^Meath by child abuse and turned aside was
community stalwart in White Bear Lake
— my home town — and the attending
physician at my father’s death.

Changes to Serve You Better, Faster • • •
The popular new books are wanted by so
many; this often means long waits for the
best sellers. We are trying to deal with this
problem by shortening loan periods for new
fiction books and by ordering more copies
faster.
Beginning Sept. 4, all new fiction books
will have one week loan periods until they
are six months old. This should provide a
faster turnaround time for the next person.
Books can be renewed by phone or in
person if they are not overdue and there
is no waiting list.
While we cannot quickly satisfy 60 re
quests for Scott Turow’s “Burden of
Proof,” we are anticipating demand for
popular authors by using a new Fast Track
ordering system. It promises speedy
delivery of multiple copies of projected best
sellers. Some of these are Belva Plain’s
“Harvest”, Dick Francis’s “Long Shot”
and Sidney Sheldon’s “Memories of
Midnight”.
All new books will stay on the NEW
BOOK SHELVES for one year — nonfic-
tion by the fireplace, fiction on the new
stacks in the Fiction/Quiet Room.
To keep the collection current, librarians
are busy with a major weeding
(housecleaning) project. Outdated and
damaged books are removed from the col
lection, and some are placed on the
ongoing “for sale” carts.
Large Print Books, Adult Basic Readers,
Short Story Collections, and Circulating
Paperbacks are now next to the new fiction.
For reading suggestions, check our new
guides to good reading. These include lists
of new Deerfield books; “Bestsellers”
which include author close ups, plot sum
maries, what the critics say, and related
must reads; Best books of ’88 & ’89, and
lists of Techno Thrillers, Traditional
Romances, Faraway Places, Pigskin Peo
ple, Spies, etc. On display are also
“Modern Fantasy: 100 Best Novels,” a
book listing the best crime and mystery
books, “Sequels: A Guide to Reading in
Series”, American Best Sellers, and other
books offering reading suggestions.
The five story Illinois State Library
building was dedicated on June 20. It faces
and is designed to be compatible with the
architecture of the 102 year old State
Capitol building. The library houses the
state’s 4.7 million volumes, and state and
federal documents. In the planning stages
for 20 years, the project became a reality
when it received $36 million as part of the
“Building Illinois” program. The library’s
resources may be borrowed by using a
library card issued by any Illinois public
library.
At the dedication of the State Library building in
Springfield, Deerfield Librarians Baiba
Rosenkranz, far left, and Sally Brickman, flank
Secretary of State/State Librarian/Gubernatorial
candidate, Jim Edgar, with Elliott Kanner, far right
(Deerfield resident & North Suburban Library
System administrator).
Please let us know • • •
We are trying to determine the need for
library outreach service in Deerfield. If
there are people who would like to have
library service but are unable or have dif
ficulty getting to the library we would like
to know. Difficulty reading? Ask about our
specialized talking books from the National
Library Service for Blind/Physically
Handicapped.

North Shore Author Eleanore Devine
Tuesday, Sept. 11, 7:30 p.m.
Reviewers heralded her “quietly shock
ing” short stories from “You’re Standing
in My Light” as ‘’remarkable because they
are tart, taut, touching, economical, ellip
tical, sharp, sensuous and sexy”. Devine
lays claim to a territory of human ex
perience few writers have explored with
such honesty, perceptiveness and vigor;
that of the aging older woman, adamant
that her life make sense, determined that
certain human values be expressed.

discuss what codependency is, how
childhood wounds surface in adult years,
and actions that can be taken to emerge
from this condition.

tal stage. This is a growth period for which
parents are least prepared and problems
can surface. She’ll offer practical sugges
tions on night fears, sibling rivalry, creative
play, imagination, etc. and respond to
questions.
Reality of Retirement
Tuesday, October 23, 7:30 p.m.
In cooperation with the Deerfield Senior
