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

raising plans, noting that 97% of the money raised by the Friends comes back to the Library. She said that the
Friends' Board had voted to pledge $14,825 to the Library for items on the 2015 wish list, including Pie-day
Program, Adult programs, a BBC DVD collection, and youth discovery tables. Ms. Reich reported that the group
now has 70 members and is planning to build membership this year.
6.
VILLAGE LIAISON REPORT
Mr. Bill Seiden reviewed the activities of the Village meetings.
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

Regular Meeting Minutes

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.

The Lowland by Jhumpa Lahiri
Monday, January 26, 7:30-8:45pm
Set in both India and America, this is a tale of two brothers bound by
tragedy, a fiercely brilliant woman haunted by her past, a country tom by
revolution, and a love that lasts long past death. Born just fifteen months
apart, Subhash and Udayan Mitra are inseparable brothers, but they are
also opposites, with gravely different futures ahead. Suspenseful and
sweeping, The Lowland is an engrossing family saga and a story steeped in
history that spans generations and geographies with seamless authenticity.

Easier than ever!
Have you had an opportunity to get cozy with a
book in one of the new easy chairs in the library?
The addition of more comfy chairs is in response
to requests received from many community
members since the Grand Reopening last
summer. Here are other examples of our
continuing commitment to listening, and making
your Library experience easier:
You asked for a more convenient library card
option. It’s here! If you have a smartphone,
you can load your card into a convenient
app, and leave the card at home.
Did you know that ALL locations in the
Library are Wi-Fi Hot Spots? And you can
print right from your device as well.
Laptop lending is now available! Deerfield
cardholders can borrow a laptop for
in-Library use.
All programs and meeting room events are
now shown on the online calendar. So
whether you are coming for a Library
program, or for your club or homeowner
association meeting, you can easily confirm
the date, time, and location from anywhere,
at any time.
Check on page 11 for more information on
these fabulous new services that will
streamline your library experience.
We aren’t done yet! We are still working to make
the Library cozier, and add the finishing touches
that will make it feel more warm and welcoming.
Changes being considered include artwork,
plants, footrests, more soft seating, and accent
lighting. Watch for these continuing
improvements throughout the year. Pay us
a visit soon.

Helping our Neighbors
Next time you drop in the Library, consider dropping off some items for the
West Deerfield Township Food Pantry. Every little bit helps, as the Pantry
relies entirely on contributions to meet the year-round high demand for
basic foodstuffs, household cleaning items, and personal hygiene products
that the Pantry provides free of charge.
The Food Pantry serves over 250 township residents each month who find
themselves in need, either on a long-term or temporary basis. Many are
seniors who live on fixed incomes, while others are families with children.
Starting March 1, you can drop off your donations in the Libraiy’s lobby
(no glass, please).
Food Pantry Wish List:
• Canned protein (tuna, chicken,
salmon, beans)
• Side dish mixes (rice, potato,
pasta)
• Toilet paper
• Paper towels
• Juice
• Canned fruit
• Soup
• Peanut butter
• Laundry detergent (small size)
The Library food drive will run from March 1 through March 23. Your
donations will be delivered to the Pantry, where bags of food and personal
items, as available, are ready for pick up on the first or third Thursday of
each month. Anyone with an urgent need for assistance, however, may call
or visit the Township office any business day.
WELCOME OUR NEW BOARD MEMBERS
The Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees recently completed
the selection process, and appointed two new members
to fill open seats on the Board. Luisa Ellenbogen and
Seth Schriftman will serve until the next election in 2015.

The Mystery ofthe World’s
Most Expensive Bottle of Wine
by Benjamin Wallace

In 1985, at a heated auction by

a member of the Forbes family.
But rumors about the bottle
soon arose. Why wouldn’t the
seller reveal the exact location where it had been
found? Was it part of a smuggled Nazi hoard? Did
his reticence conceal a dark secret? Join us to

and cheese tasting presented by Whole Foods

By the numbers...
°’s - „o(ii“ -^ei,
Even though our stock-in-trade at the Library is words, we thought
you’d be interested to see how we’re doing by the numbers. These
statistics reflect our activity during the year we spent at the temporary
site during the renovation.
Open 69 hours a week
159,810 visits
403,762 items circulated during the fiscal year
82,422 reference questions answered for adults and children
13,920 Deerfield resident Library cards in use
108,118 books owned
22,427 e-books owned
11,090 DVDs owned
977 items loaned to other libraries
45,549 items were loaned to cardholders from other libraries
16,978 log-ons to the Library’s public computers
Although helping those in need is
always in season, the holidays offer
more opportunities for us to give back
to our communities. The Library has
been a drop-off center for TOYS FOR
TOTS for many years and we’re keeping
that tradition alive in our newly
renovated space. Drop off new,
unwrapped toys in the box in the
Library’s lobby now through December
Currently, we’re trending up in all categories, with growth most noticeable in
computer use—including in the Computer Lab, the dedicated computers in the
Youth Services area and the new express computers in the Lobby—and attendance
at Library programs. Due to the lack of space at the temporary facility (which was
about half the size of our permanent home) we weren’t able to present anything
more than book discussions and children’s storytimes during the renovation. Now
we’re going full tilt, offering more interesting and exciting programs for children,
families, teens and adults than ever before—so many that we’ve had to increase
the number of pages in this issue of BROWSING to showcase all of them. Our new
free tech classes (see TECH CONNECTIONS) with a maximum capacity of
12—which is the number of computers available in the lab—fill up almost as
fast as our extremely popular storytimes.
16th Although all types of toys for all
ages are accepted, please remember
The Board, the staff and I are happy to report that we’re busier than ever, with the
great new facilities, Computer Lab, expanded services, and growing collections.
Hope to see you soon!
The Library is also a designated
drop-off location for the Deerfield

What’s in your wallet??!
The smartest card in your wallet is now the
most flexible! Both the new adult and
children’s cards have a key tag, as well
as the familiar wallet size format, which
allows us to send you home with the item
your kids have put on hold, or vice versa. To protect
your account, the material must be checked out on the same
card that was used when the item was placed on hold. In other words, if
your spouse puts material on hold using her or his card, you’ll need that
card to pick up that material for him or her. The key tags allow you to
have a copy of the card and makes everything easy.
If you do decide to exchange your old card for the new format, be sure
to let the Library staff person who’s helping
you know if you check out e-books using
the card or use Zinio. He or she can help
you make the necessary changes.

It’s Great to be Home!
What a terrific welcome home party that
was! Over 2,300 people visited the
renewed, refreshed and repurposed
Library on that blistering hot June
afternoon to explore all of the new
features of our great new space and get
reacquainted with old favorites.
Members of the Library’s Board, staff
members and our Friends of the Library
heard many positive comments. I had the
opportunity to talk with visitors about
specific features of the building, answer
questions, listen to so many helpful
suggestions and discuss what we can do
to continue to live up to our mission to
provide you with open access to the
world of information and ideas,
encouraging lifelong learning and personal
growth in a welcoming environment.
Here are responses to a few of the
recurring suggestions and questions
we’ve heard:
• To expand the opportunities to curl up
with a good magazine, chat quietly
with friends, or review a pile of books,
we’ll be adding some additional
seating, especially in our adult areas.
• More computers for adults will be
added outside the Computer Lab, for
access even during classes. We will
also soon begin to offer laptops for
in-library usage. (But not iPads—
Sony for any confusion!)
• Although the Library parking lot has a
few less spaces, Library staff members
are now parking offsite, making up to
35 additional parking spaces available
to our users.
• Just as before, there is NO turn from
the Library parking lot onto Waukegan
Road. Please exit the parking lot by

proceeding south along Jewett Park
past the police station to Deerfield
Road or Waukegan Road.
• All temperatures, from the restroom
tap water to the hand dryers to
individual room temperature and
humidity settings, are automatically
regulated to be both environmentally
responsible and economical. For
some, it may seem too hot. To others,
too cool. All public buildings try to hit
the middle.

Congressman Brad Schneider
(lejl), State Senator Julie
Morrison (center), and
Deerfield Mayor Harriet
Rosenthal (right) lead excited
community members into the
newly revitalized, refreshed
and repurposed Library after
the opening ceremony June 23
was officially proclaimed
DEERFIELD PULIC LIBRARY
DAY in honor of the occasion
and Congressman Schneider
entered a special congratulatory
statement into the official
Congressional Record. That
statement reads, in part:
"Mr. Speaker, as libraries’ roles
in our communities continue
to evolve, Deerfield Public
Library is at the cutting edge
and has taken bold strides to
maintain its leadership in
thefield.”
To share YOUR thoughts, use the
suggestion box near Patron Services on
the main floor, or email or call me about
anything you’d like to discuss regarding
the “new” Library or any other way we
can serve you.
It’s great to be home!

The Van Meters have gathered at their family retreat on the island of

Little Princes by Conor Grennan | October 10, 10:30am
While volunteering at an orphanage in Nepal, Grennan realizes that

made even more difficult by their inability to have children. This

take the baby in but this decision may come back to affect them in
ways they never expected.

Promises Kept
Our year-long construction project to
bring you a 21st Century library is nearly
complete. We’ll be closing the doors at
7 N. Waukegan Road on Friday, May 24 at
6pm. We look forward to greeting you at
our Grand Reopening on Sunday, June
23 at 1:00pm. After a brief ribbon cutting
ceremony and words of greeting, we will
invite the community in to experience
the Library like never before. Want to
see the whole thing, and hear about all
the new features? Guided tours will
show you around. Use one of our new
laptop computers to explore the world.
Share our new Preschool Pavilion with
your children. Curl up with your favorite
read and enjoy the silence of our Quiet
Area for adults. Have a few overdue
books or movies? Enjoy fees and fines
amnesty for the entire first week we
are open.
The Board members and I want to thank
you for your support and patience
throughout the Library Improvement
Project. We believe you will agree it has
been worth it - with a refreshed Library
space, and informed staff members
ready to serve you. And the physical
Library isn’t the whole story - ask about
our virtual services, available whenever
and wherever you are.
We hope you will agree that the renewed
Deerfield Public Library represents
“promises kept” to our community.
We look forward to seeing you on
June 23!

Trustees

Claire Johnson,
8th grader at
Holy Cross, is the
winner of the
new Children’s
Library card
design contest!
Claire is an avid
Library user who
“reads, reads
and reads”—
which is how she
got the idea for the award-winning design.
Claire’s was one of almost 80 entries. These
were pared down to six semi-finalists and we
asked the community to vote for their
favorite. Young people 18 and under will be
able to exchange their old cards for this new
design, and adult patrons will be able to
exchange their cards for the new adult design
featuring the renovated Library building very
soon. Check the website for more details.

“The Temp site is terrific!
Why don’t you just stay there??”
By Mary Pergander, Library Director
Three Generations Celebrate
Library Card Sign-Up Month
While the renovation of the building at 920 Waukegan Road moves along, we’ve
settled in at our temporary home at Cadwell’s Corners. We appreciate the positive
feedback from patrons and visitors: The space is very welcoming and conveniently
arranged on one level. It feels and functions like a “real” library, and it certainly
will work well for us for the year we need to be here.
September is National Libraiy Card Sign-up
Month and—according to three generations
in one family of Deerfielders—their Libraiy
cards are the smartest, most valued cards in
their wallets.
“We moved to Deerfield in 1960,” says Jan
Zobus (left) “and we’ve been faithful Libraiy
users ever since.” Jan has seen—and
supported—the Libraiy as it has evolved
from a place to borrow the latest best seller
or do homework into a full-fledged research,
digital download center and community
meeting place. Her daughter, Laura Kempf
(right) remembers her mother Jan taking her
to the Children’s Department when it was in
a trailer near the current Village Hall. Laura
is now the co-president of the Friends of the
Deerfield Public Library. “We were just at the
Libraiy checking out several books on CD for
our upcoming road trip,” said Laura during
the interview. “The Library gives us open and
free access to so much material we would
otherwise have to buy—and store!” Third
generation family member and Library user
Erin Kempf (center) is a former member of
the Teen Advisory Board, long-time STAR
volunteer and heavy digital downloaded “I
love being able to download e-books from
home.. .and I love the fact I can use my
Deerfield Public Libraiy card to download
e- books when I go away to college."
Do you have a current Library card? If not,
stop by during September with two forms of
identification showing your Deerfield
address, and get one of the most valuable
cards you can own!
Nice as it is, our temporary home lacks some important features. It’s about a third
smaller than the old building at 920 Waukegan, and only about half the size the
renovated and remodeled Libraiy will be when completed. Currently there are no
study rooms, no program spaces, no public meeting rooms, no quiet spaces, no
storage, no drive-up book drops, and only 12 adult and four children’s computers.
Plus, we’re now at the far south end of the Village when we have traditionally been
in the heart of Deerfield, and many residents have let us know this is not
convenient for them.
We’re looking forward to returning to a much more functional, environmentally
friendly, and beautiful building—a fresh space that will be able to flex along with
the changing needs of our community. So come and visit our temporary home soon,
and watch for news of the Grand Re-opening of the main Library in mid-2013.

■ The Story of Beautiful Girl by Rachel Simon
September 13,10:30 a.m.
While institutionalized in 1968, Lynnie and Homan fall deeply in
love and long for their freedom. They escape the institution,
find shelter with a widowed teacher, and are eventually forced
to leave their baby behind. Spanning 40 years, this is a story of
true love, friendship, and destiny.

■ Gertrude and Claudius by John Updike
September 20, 7:30 p.m.
Set before the action begins in Shakespeare's "Hamlet," this
speculative novel follows the lives of Gertrude and Claudius,
King and Queen of Denmark, as they wend their way towards
adultery and treachery to ascend the throne. This book discus
sion is part of Writers’ Theatre “Page to Stage” program, in sup
port of their staging of “Hamlet.” Check out writerstheatre.org
for more information.
■ Little Brother by Corey Doctorow
October 11,10:30 a.m. and October 18, 7:30 p.m.
Marcus’s whole world changes when he and his
friends find themselves caught in the aftermath
neBook
of a major terrorist attack on San Francisco. In
Zip Code
the wrong place at the wrong time, Marcus and
his friends are apprehended by the Department
of Homeland Security and whisked away to a secret prison
where they're mercilessly interrogated for days. When he is
finally released, Marcus discovers that his city has become a
police state where every citizen is treated like a potential
terrorist. He knows that no one will believe his story, which
leaves him only one option: take down the Department of
Homeland Security himself.
■ The Family Fang by Kevin Wilson
November 8,10:30 a.m.
Annie and Buster Fang spent their youth as the children of
famous performance artists. Known only as Child A and Child B,
they were manipulated pawns in their parent’s highly public and
often uncomfortable “performances.” Now adults, both Annie
and Buster find themselves returning home and facing their
family legacy.
■ The Irresistible Henry House by Lisa Grunwald
November 15, 7:30 p.m.
In the mid-twentieth century in a home economics program at
a prominent university, real babies are being used to teach
mothering skills to young women. For a young man raised in
these unlikely circumstances, finding real love and learning to
trust will prove to be the work of a lifetime. From his earliest
days as a "practice baby" through his adult adventures in 1960s
Henry House remains handsome, charming, universally adored,
and never entirely accessible to the many women he conquers
but can never entirely trust.

Little Brother by Cory Doctorow
Imagine if our country were turned into a police state,
UTILE BROTHER! where
every citizen is treated like a potential terrorist.
The government could track every step you take
with video surveillance and monitor all of your
communication. Would you trade your freedom for
, security? In an increasingly digital world, privacy has
become a huge issue. The War on Terror, globalization,
CORY DOCTOROW
and economic difficulties have led corporations and
governments to abuse digital technology, threatening
our privacy and civil liberties. In the 21st century, Little Brother is watching you.
Little Brother by Cory Doctorow is the story of seventeen-year-old Marcus, who
ditches school one morning to hang out with his friends. But when a major
terrorist attack takes place, Marcus finds himself in the wrong place at the
wrong time and is swept up by the Department of Homeland Security and
whisked away to a secret prison, where he is interrogated for days. When he is
finally released, Marcus discovers that his city has become a police state where
every citizen is treated like a potential terrorist. He knows that no one will
believe his stoiy, which leaves him only one option: take down the Department
of Homeland Security himself.

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

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