�From the Director
I’m writing this upon my return from
our first family vacation in over a year.
We have rediscovered a love for the
outdoors. During the past year, we took
advantage of the hidden gems of natural
beauty in greater Chicagoland. However,
this summer, we ventured to Rocky
Mountain National Park. I’m thrilled to
see my children’s reactions to these huge
mountains and their energetic enthusiasm to climb to the top!
We’ve spent a fair amount of time on this trip driving, and
you really get a sense of the vastly different landscape of our
country. Of course, I had to pay a visit to a local library as well.
Sure, we all serve different communities, but I’ve found in my
decades-long career that we all aim to best serve our unique
communities. During my conversation with the librarian, I was
struck by our approach to similar services. This particular library
had a Library of Things collection and they too can’t keep their
Wi-Fi hotspots on the shelf!
For this trip, I relied heavily on our Library’s Libby and Hoopla
apps. If you’re unfamiliar with these services, I can’t recommend
them enough. As a librarian, I am thrilled that my kids also love to
read. (I think if they didn’t, my “librarian” card would be revoked!)
They are thrilled with the comic book selection on Hoopla. On
this trip, access to e-books and videos was a lifesaver. It warmed
my heart to see my kiddos downloading their books to read
on the plane.
I’ve always equated fall with a new beginning. We continue to
look forward and have learned from the past year. We welcome
seeing our community inside the building, while reading and
supporting each other.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director

All Ages
Virtual Programs: Attendance for our virtual programs was in
the thousands! While a portion of our programming will transition
back to in-person, for convenience, some programs will continue
online. Cooking programs turned out to be one of our most
popular virtual experiences. Patrons appreciated being able to
follow along with the chef in realtime in their own kitchen. From
attendee Karen Grage: “Thank you again for all of the programs
you put together for the library. I’ve used my instant pot quite a bit
and still learned things tonight. The program worked really well
over Zoom and we had a delicious dinner!...That was really fun.”
Anytime Videos:
The wide mix of videos
on our YouTube channel
includes programs
for all ages. Some are

Study Rooms & Computers: Study rooms and computers
are again available in the Youth and Adult departments. The rooms
and computers are available on a first come, first serve basis.
Curbside Pickup: When the building was fully closed, we
averaged 120 touch-free pickups a day. Curbside regular David Julis
shared: “Our family enjoyed the ease and convenience of
scheduling pick-up times throughout the day so that we could
continue to enjoy reading new and different books!” Now that the
building is fully open, the demand for this service is much lower.
But we still plan to continue the service for the foreseeable future,
and it is currently available Monday-Friday, 10 a.m -12:00 p.m.

Library Lifeline: This service is for seniors and adults with
disabilities. These free one-on-ones and check-ins are provided
via phone, email, Skype, or Zoom. For more information contact
Vicki at vkarlovsky@deerfieldlibrary.org or leave a message at
847-580-8938.
PLACE Programs: PLACE stands for Public Library Access and
Community for Everyone. These social and educational programs
are for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, as
well as their parents and caregivers. See page 3 for details about
the monthly evenings of friendship and fun.
Youth & Teens
Read-Along Collection: This brand new collection will
include Playaway picture bookpacks,
as well as Wonderbooks and Vox
Books. These new titles combine a
traditional printed picture book with
a built-in audio recording, perfect for
kids who can’t read to themselves
yet, or for anyone who wants to
listen to a story! Each book can be replayed dozens of times
without being recharged. And don’t worry about recharging
them yourself—we’ll take care of that when it is returned.
Launchpads: A great way to keep kids engaged and learning
all year round. Each tablet comes pre-loaded with themed
educational games and activities for specific age groups. Stop
by and check them out, and feel free to ask the Youth staff for
recommendations.
Stay & Play: To support safe play, loose toys and games are
still put away. Instead, while in the library, one family group at a
(cont. from page 2)
time can use a Stay & Play box. There are many different themed
boxes with a variety of creative activities. You might want to
check out one of the boxes with kinetic sand! The boxes are kept
at the Youth Services desk, and are quarantined after every use.
Teen Book Discussions: Deerfield teens continued to be
active readers throughout the pandemic. Book group regulars
Liam and Lucas Ford shared that the move from in-person to a
virtual platform still provided a fun time and generated lots of
interesting discussions. When asked for a book recommendation
from the past year, they gave four thumbs up for Black Wings
Beating by Alex London.
DPS 109 Partnership: Literary Scavenger Hunt!
DPL School Outreach Coordinator Kary Henry partners with
DPS 109 school librarians throughout the school year on a
variety of engaging projects. During this unique school year,
one new online adventure Wilmot students (grades 3-5) got to
participate in was a literary scavenger hunt!
During the live 30 minute online hunt the rules were:
Don’t leave the house to find the object, don’t take anything
breakable, and put everything back where it belongs. After
Kary showed the cover of a book popular in their school
library, and told them the related object to find, students ran
to find a fitting example and back to the screen to share.
What did they go looking for? One example, for a book about
the Titanic, the students had to find something that could
float. One of the most surprising items presented: When the
students went in search of something that makes noise, one
student returned with his baby brother! Everyone got a laugh
out of that – even the little brother!
This is just a handful of what we have to offer. But you library lovers know that! Feel free to be in touch with any questions.

Fall Photography Scavenger Hunt
September – November 2021 • Teens and Adults
Flex your photography skills for a season-long nature photo
scavenger hunt. Participate in different themes to capture
Deerfield and the Chicagoland area in its autumn colors.
Open to teens (Grades 6-12) and adults. Submissions will
be displayed in the library. The community will vote on their
favorite photos and the winner will receive a grand prize! Please
email photography@deerfieldlibrary.org to submit your photos
digitally, or drop off physical copies at the Media or Youth desk.
Couldn’t Have Done it Without You!
Hats off to all our wonderful S.T.A.R. volunteers for making the library’s summer so productive and fun! Faced with a different type of volunteering than in previous years (virtual and
touch-free), teens lent their talents to creating art pieces, including book covers, writing blog
articles and Instagram Spotlight reviews of books, and putting kits together for programs.
Ten teens served as Book Buddies, partnering with a young student and reading together on
Zoom. Our teen volunteers really helped to color our world with reading this summer!
Many thanks to the Friends of the Deerfield Public Library for their sponsorship of a huge
rainbow of summer projects. This included sponsorship of the month-long Queer Poem-aDay project (deerfieldlibrary.org/queerpoemaday), supplies for the Kindness Garden kits,
and prizes for the Summer Reading Program. Their support made it possible to provide our
community with a wide variety of new insights and experiences.

What’s the best way to receive DPL updates?
Subscribe to our e-news at deerfieldlibrary.org/newsletters
�From the Director
In 2020, DPL had the opportunity to
introduce some new services. Curbside
service was one of the best things that
came from 2020! In a very short time, we
had over 10,000 items checked out and
picked up using this brand new service.
Our resourceful staff continue to provide
this service, alternating with when the
building is open for browsing. If you
haven’t experienced curbside, you can find more information
at deerfieldlibrary.org/curbside-pickup.
Staff also learned that with modern technology, we can
work with patrons remotely to complete simple tasks such
as renewing library cards or even issuing new cards. Once a
patron completes the online form, a Patron Services staff
member will call to set up a virtual appointment. After the
process is complete, we can provide the card number for
immediate use of our electronic resources, and the physical
card is sent out via the mail. Find details and the application
form at deerfieldlibrary.org/patron-registration.
The pandemic left many people feeling isolated and
disconnected, and many senior citizens and persons with
disabilities lost critical social and educational lifelines. With
that in mind, soon after closing in 2020, we began offering
the Library Lifeline service for free one-on-ones and checkins. These are provided via phone, email, or a virtual platform.
We average about 20-25 monthly appointments, and plan to
continue this popular service. Read more about the Library
Lifeline at deerfieldlibrary.org/accessibility.
Finally, we saw a huge increase in program attendance. We
always knew that the community loved our programs and this
past year has affirmed that. Our staff learned quickly how to
offer virtual programs for patrons of all ages. In 2020, nearly
100,000 people attended a program either live online or
watched a pre-recorded program.
We continue to move forward and look forward to continuing
to serve our community.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director

�Discover Deerfield: Local History Tours
If “staycation” travel looks to be your focus for summer 2021, let the Deerfield Public
Library serve as your travel guide. The Library-curated tours, which cover Deerfield
from its founding days to the present, can all be accessed on the Library’s website at
deerfieldlibrary.org/localtours. Guide maps and tour information also available
at the Library (lower level).
Deerfield Public Art Audio and Virtual Tours
Our guided walking tour explores the
sculptures and paintings publicly on display in
Deerfield. You can download the guide map,
and using along with the audio tour, take your
own self-guided tour. Allow approximately 35
minutes to complete the tour. Another tour
option is the 360 video tour, which includes a
condensed version of the audio tour, original interviews, and historic photos. Note: The art
tour was created in 2017. Updates coming soon.
Deerfield Cemetery Tour
The Library, in cooperation with the Deerfield
Cemetery Commission created two historical “inside
the gates” self-guided audio tours. The Cemetery is the
resting place of some of the first residents of Deerfield,
and is an engaging way to learn about the history of
Deerfield. The Veterans Tour includes those from every
war from the War of 1812 to Vietnam. The majority
of our veterans are from the Civil War, and all fought for the Union. Additional support for
these tours was provided by the American Legion Post 738 and the Deerfield Area Historical
Society. Please enter and exit through the front gate on Waukegan Rd.
Deerfield Train Station Tour
The historic Deerfield Road Train Station is the only building
in Deerfield on the National Register of Historic Places. But
that only came about through the vigorous advocacy of the
Deerfield Area Historical Society. Access the tour guide on the
website to find out about the building and the engaging history,
including a brief appearance in the movie, Risky Business.
Summer Reading
Logo Design
Competition Winner
The vibrant Reading Colors
Your World logo was created
by Deerfield High School junior
Noah Fishman. Noah’s design was
chosen through a competition
organized for artists in the
AP graphic design class.
Summer Reading
Yards Signs
We invite you to brighten your
lawn or front window with a
“Reading Colors Your World” lawn
sign. Share the excitement for the
kick-off of the Summer Reading
Program, a summer full of great
reads and fun programs. Signs
will be available, while supplies
last, beginning Monday, May 24.
You can pluck one from the front
lawn (Waukegan Rd.) of the
Library anytime, or pick one up
inside during open hours.

Less than four months after the vibrant
grand opening of the Library’s new MakerSpace in November 2019, the state-of-theart facility was silenced due to COVID. It
wasn’t long before MakerSpace staff started
reimagining the space and how it could still
be a vital resource for the community.
We recently re-opened the MakerSpace for
limited, by appointment only, in-person
sessions. But prior to this, and continuing, the
staff has been working with patrons through
virtual means on a variety of projects.
Full details about the MakerSpace
equipment and use, and access to the
online appointment forms are available at
deerfieldlibrary.org/makerspace. Learn
more about:
• MakerSpace Remote Services: Submit
projects for select equipment using an
online form. Our staff will then work
with you to coordinate dropping off or
purchasing materials, remote virtual
sessions, and project pickup. Virtual
sessions include one-on-one virtual
appointments, design assistance, and
watching your project run.
• Makerspace In-person Services:
Limited, single user sessions by
appointment only, limited to 90 minutes.
Masks are required with additional safety
protocols in place.
• Maker Video Tutorials: Pick up a new
skill with software tutorials created by
DPL staff.
Where to start? A good place would be to
sign up for the Virtual MakerSpace Tour,
Wednesday, June 2, 1:00-2:00 p.m. Bring
your questions for a live Q&A. Registration
is required. Visit the DPL Event Calendar to
register: https://deerfield.libnet.info/events.
Check the Adult and Youth Programs in this
issue for details on more upcoming MakerSpace-centered programs. No experience
needed! All programs will be virtual.
