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.

market. Ms. Carbine said that the Friends have $12,000 in reserves at this time, pledged to the Library. The
variety of books in the Friends' book area was discussed.

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.

Ms. Wener to consider acting as one of the Board liaisons.

profit. The revenues for the Friends and the Library cannot be comingled.

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

Regular Meeting Minutes

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

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

c.

Mr. Simon described the process for choosing an Interim Director and the responsibilities that person will
handle. He recommended that Ms. Meg Anthony, the current Head of Youth Services, be approved as the
Interim Director.

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

g.
Recommendation to approve furnishings quote for Youth Services workstations, and discuss
plans for Support Services
Ms. Anthony reviewed the proposed changes to the Youth work area. She explained the department's
staffing plan, described the process for sharing desks, and the consequences to productivity.
MOTION: Mr. Goldberg made a motion to approve the recommended furnishing changes to the Youth
Department, at a cost not to exceed $4,000. Mr. Schriftman provided a second to the motion.
Vote: 7 yes - Ken Abosch, Michael Goldberg, Howard Handler, Jean Reuther, Seth Schriftman, Ron Simon, and
Maureen Wener. The motion was approved.
h.
Update from Memorials Committee
Mr. Simon asked that this item be added to the next Board meeting's agenda. He reviewed the mission of
committee, and the need for an improved and formal policy, noting that a case-by-case basis is not
sufficient.
Processes were discussed, including how research is conducted, the involvement of staff, and the Board's
engagement. Mr. Simon said he would like to have a committee meeting scheduled with all Board
members invited.
i.
REMINDER - Art Festival Preview Party, May 29, 6 to 8 pm, Village Hall
Ms. Pergander reviewed the Art Festival Preview Party, explaining that it is an opportunity to network with
the other Village movers and shakers. Mr. Abosch noted that spouses can be included but that attendance
does require an RSVP.
11. OTHER DISCUSSION ITEMS
a.
Mr. Schriftman asked about the protocol for Board member email addresses, noting that one member has
an email address at deerfieldlibrary.org. Mr. Handler said that using this email address will help to avoid
FOIA request complications, but Ms. Pergander explained that a FOIA request could be placed for all Board
member emails regardless of the email address. Ms. Wener said providing board email addresses
@deerfieldlibrary.org seems like a good idea and it was suggested that the idea be placed on next
meeting's agenda.
b.
Mr. Abosch inquired how closed session minutes can be approved without releasing them. Ms. Pergander
said that the minute dates can be placed on the next agenda.
12. EXECUTIVE SESSION

What three words would you use to describe your
ideal library experience? Our Board and staff
members will be asking you that over the coming
months, as we continue to refine and enhance your
library experience, both in the physical library and
the virtual version.
U
*

I DIDN’T KNOW THAT!
We asked staff to give us the inside track on some possibly
under-the-radar services and resources.
Are you among those downloading 2,000 e-books each
month from the Libraiy? Is your club or organization
using one of our free meeting room spaces? Have you
had a favorite book signed by a visiting author? Are
you playing Minecraft with friends at the Libraiy? Did
you help provide for the food pantiy or the animal
shelter through our donation days?
Melissa S., Adult Sendees: “The Library has two
notaries on staff and offers notary services free
of charge. As notary needs vary - some are
quick and easy, while some require more time
and paperwork —we encourage patrons to call
ahead to make an appointment, and speak to
the notary to make sure you have all the items
needed to moveforward with the process. ”
Is your Library card now accessed through an app on
your smartphone, rather than plastic in your wallet?
Do you follow our blogs online? Have you been to one
of our Pinterest classes? Are you enjoying local
attractions with a Museum Adventure Pass?
Kary H., Youth Services: “One of ourfavorite
days in the Youth Department is when a young
child gets his/her very own library card! You
may not know that library cards are available
to children ages 5 and older. We like to make a
big deal about it, so be sure to stop by the Youth
Services desk and let your child show us
his/her new card!"
Yes, books are what we are known for, AND we are so
much more! Come explore us today - and let us WOW
you.
Mary Pergander
Library Director
Vicki K., Patron Services: “Patrons often ask us
where they can register to vote, and are thrilled
to learn they can do so right at the library.
During most hours we are open, there is a staff
member available to register voters. All you need
to bring are twoforms ofID, one with your
current address. FYI, as ofJuly 1, 2014, Illinois
residents have the option to register to vote online at
https://ova.elections.il.gov ”
Our remodeled and renovated library is just over a year
old, and we thank all of you again for your support
with our project. Now that we have settled in to our
new space, we are looking ahead to keep improving
our service to the community.
We’ve appreciated your feedback over the past year
and hopefully you’ve noticed improvements both in the
building and on our website. As the Board and Library
staff begin re-examining our mission and vision, know
that we strive to bring you an outstanding collection,
led by an outstanding staff, in a space where you
enjoy spending part of your day.

�New Tech @ Your Library
Library Tech Classes
Lead to Discovery
When attorney Eugene Stahnke retired from
practice, he got right to work ramping up his
computer skills. Over the past year, Eugene has
taken more than a dozen technology classes offered
by the Libraiy, and has advanced from “101” level to
fluency with a wide range of digital activities. We
asked Eugene to share some thoughts about his
learning experience.
Visit us at deerfieldlibrarv.org
Instruction Librarian Jenn Hovanec
has led many ofthe technology classes
attended by Eugene Stahnke
Q. What was your motivation to take the Library's technology classes?
A. During my years as an attorney, the division of labor always had someone else handling
the computer-related tasks. As a result, I had little detailed knowledge of the computer
and the Web. I got tired of asking for help, and relying on others for even the simplest
of activities, such as email.
Meet Your New Website
The Library’s refresh continues
with a spiffy new website design.
It features friendly navigation,
optimized mobile browsing, and
fresh insights from expert Library
staff. Enjoy the tour!
Q. Why would you recommend the Library's classes?
A. For starters, you have expert trainers, and at no cost. The classes are extremely well
organized, and the librarians leading the classes are excellent communicators. The
hands-on training, with the instructor right in front of you, is invaluable. They provide
excellent handouts, and are always available for questions if you get stuck up the road.
Q. How have you been using your new skills?
A. Where to start? Email, of course, and basic word processing. I’ve also enjoyed learning
how to truly mine gold from the library’s catalog, including tracking down books and
articles for my many interests and hobbies. One class introduced a number of
important free online resources, including Consumer Reports. I also learned about the
Goodreads website, which has become a favorite for tracking my reading, and sharing
with a world-wide online community of readers.
Q. Have you had any unexpected outcomes?
A. I never expected to own a tablet and a smartphone, and to be actively using them.
Diking photos with the smartphone is worlds beyond what I eked out on my old
cellphone. The Library’s classes have helped guide the whole experience from
purchasing to organizing photos and sharing them online.
Game on at Teen PS4
Station!
Teens, next time you need a break
from studying or just to relax, try
the new Teen Gaming Station.
Located in the Teen Space, the
game station has a brand new
PlayStation 4 with pre-loaded
games, wireless controllers, and
headphones. Current available
games include: Fifa 14, Madden 25,
Lego Marvel Superheroes, and Need
for Speed Rivals. Stop at the Media
Desk to check out the
controllers and headsets.
10
Q. What recommendations do you have tor getting started?
A. After class, be sure to use the handout and continue to reinforce what you learned in
class. It’s not that time-consuming, and repetition makes all the difference. If you don’t
have a computer at home, there are many hours of open access to the computers in the
Library’s lab. If you are interested in purchasing a computer, I highly recommend “How
to Buy a Computer” on November 19. Also, don’t be nervous about being in the class.
The shared experience proved to be very beneficial.

WHAT?
Message from the President
Deerfield Public Library is expected to move to
Cadwell’s Corners as a temporary site during
the remodeling and expansion of the 40 year old
current library building.
The current Libraiy is 32,500 sq. ft. The
temporary home will be about 22,000 sq. ft.
Regarding our temporary library home
We have reached another milestone in our Library Improvement Project. We
are finalizing lease negotiations with the owners of the Cadwell’s Corners
shopping center. The former furniture store is the anticipated temporary home
for Deerfield Public Libraiy. We are also seeking approval from the Village of
Deerfield. The Library Board would like to thank resident Jack Frigo for his
invaluable service in guiding us through the temporary property selection process.
WHERE?
The Deerfield Public Library is currently
located at 920 Waukegan Road in Deerfield.
Cadwell’s Corners is 1.3 miles south, at the
north east corner of the intersection of
Waukegan Road and Lake Cook Road in
Deerfield. The Libraiy will occupy the far south
unit, formerly the Honquest furniture store.
The space is only two-thirds the size of our current building. Nevertheless, we
are committed to continuing quality library services while occupying our
temporary home. Through creative planning we will be able to bring our full
collections of books, movies, and music. There also will be computers for
adults and children. Some of our programs and meetings will be held off-site,
and we appreciate the cooperation of the Village, Park District, School
District 113 and local businesses to make this possible.
WHEN?
The Libraiy is expected to close its 920
Waukegan Road site in early May and reopen at
the Cadwell’s Corners site in early June.
The temporary home is expected to open in June, just in time for the Summer
Reading Clubs. Changes to that site will be minimal - just enough for safety
and comfort. We want to focus our construction dollars on the permanent
location, rather than the temporary one.
FOR MORE INFORMATION
There are many ways to learn more and follow
our progress:
• Go to our website at deerfieldlibrary.org.
Updates will be posted regularly.
• While there, sign up for Be First to Know,
our e-newsletter, and the news
will come to YOU!
• Follow us on Facebook for
updates and links.
Once we are out of our current facility, the construction work will commence
and last about a year. Then we will have the privilege of welcoming you back
to our current location.

�E-book Demand and Collection
Continue to Grow
The library e-book checkout rose by 25 percent
in December alone! The Library’s e-book
collection continues to grow with demand as
we purchase extra copies of high-demand titles
just for Deerfield cardholders. New to e-book
borrowing? Staff are happy to help you download
a title. Please contact us with your questions,
or schedule a one-hour session with a librarian
who will walk you through the process. You can
also find handy guides to the Kindle, Nook, and
iPad on our website home page.
Deerfield Cardholders Can Now
Place Holds on DVDs
Based on community feedback, the Library has
updated its system to allow Deerfield
cardholders to place holds on DVDs. That
means if your favorite movie or the next season
of your show is checked out you can simply
request it at the library or via our online
catalog and we will call or email you when it is
available for pickup! Due to high demand, New
DVDs remain first come, first served.
Just

Library’s digital library. Come on in or give
us a call if you need help using
MyMediaMall to download to your e-reader
or mobile device.

The Library’s Teen Advisory Board (TAB) is
looking for new members! Join the Teen
Librarian for meetings to discuss ideas for
teen programs, come up with themes and
displays for the Teen Space, offer
suggestions for developing the teen blog
and website, and brainstorm ideas for
outreach in the community. Your
participation counts as volunteer hours and
your ideas will help shape the Teen area at
the Library!
While most adult programs are on hiatus as we prepare to move to our temporary location, we
are happy to report that the Patty Turner Center and Deerfield Barnes & Noble have graciously
agreed to host library book discussions starting this April. For more staff reading recommenda
tions and book news please check out our blog, Running with Books, on our website homepage.

Book Discussions
^ The Submission by Amy Waldman
April 12,10:30 a.m. at the Patty Turner
Center
What would happen if a Muslim won a
contest to design the 9/11 memorial in
NYC? Waldman examines the controversies
that ensue by looking at the lives and
interactions of politicians, businessmen,
journalists and ordinary people.
■ The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman
April 19, 7:30 p.m. at Barnes & Noble
Deerfield
Set against the backdrop of Rome, eleven
stories follow the private lives of the
reporters, editors, and executives of an
international English language newspaper.
As the era of print gives way to the Internet
age, they struggle to keep the paper afloat.
□ The Cookbook Collector by Allegra Goodman
May 10,10:30 a.m. at the Patty Turner Center
Mix drama, love, romance and complex
characters together and you get The
Cookbook Collector. A story about two
sisters who are complete opposites leads us
to think about the ways we live our lives.
□ Little Princes: One man’s promise to
bring home the lost children of Nepal
by Conor Grennan
May 17, 7:30 p.m. at Barnes & Noble
Deerfield
While volunteering at an orphanage in
Nepal, Grennan realizes that the children
residing there were taken from their
families by human traffickers. Grennan risks
life and limb travelling through treacherous
terrain in order to reunite these abandon
children with their families.
S.T.A.R. Volunteers
S.TAR. Volunteers assist the Youth Services department with the Summer Reading
Program by taking reports from participants, passing out prizes, and engaging children in
discussion about books. If you are between the ages of 12 - 17, stop by the Youth Services
department and pick up an application. Applications will be made available starting
Monday, April 9 in the Library, and on the Children’s page of the Library Web site.
Questions? Email Nina Varma at teensemces@deerfieldlibrary.org.
Stoichiometric Coefficients and Molar Ratios
“Mom, can you help me with my homework?”
We suppose that there are some parents who might say, “Cool—first check the stoichiometric
coefficients and the molar ration.” If you’re not that parent, then you need to know about
Tutor.com, a premium service offered free by the Library that provides real homework
help from real, live tutors online. Students K -12, college-level students and adult
learners can receive help in math, social studies, English or science—including Chemistry.
Access to Tutor.com is available free through the Web site to all patrons at the
Library, and available to Deerfield Public Library cardholders from home seven days
a week from 2-9 pm.
For Teens Only — We need your feedbflLk!
Do you want to see your input reflected in the soon-to-be remodeled Teen Space? Think of
your absolute favorite place to hang out. Where is it, and what are two things that make it
so awesome?
Surveys are available now! If you are between the ages of 12 and 17, check out the
Library’s Facebook Page for a link to the survey or stop by the Teen Space in the Library
and fill out the survey in person. For more information, contact Nina Varma at teenservices@deerfieldlibrary.org.

We Remember.
t •
The Board of
Trustees and
staff of
Deerfield
Public Library
were deeply
saddened to
learn of the sudden passing of our
former, long-time library director
Jack Alan Hicks in late
December. He was hired in 1972
as a Reference Librarian, and
then served as Administrative
Librarian from 1988 until his
retirement in June of 2006. Jack
was a library icon throughout the
State, an early innovator of
library technology, and created an
experience for Deerfield Public
Library patrons which was unique
among Illinois libraries. Our
thoughts are with his family
and friends.

Deerfield Public Library
Spring 2022 | deerfieldlibrary.org
of DPL
Details on Page 2
�From the Director
This edition of Browsing is all about the
hidden gems of DPL. One hidden gem that
many people might not be familiar with is
the fiscally-minded Board of Trustees, who
are elected to rotating open positions every
two years in local elections. The Board of
Trustees serves a very important purpose.
They’re responsible for setting policies for
the Library to execute. In addition, they are
the fiscal stewards of property taxes collected for the Library.
The Library is over 97% supported by property taxes. The Library
Board takes their responsibility very seriously, carrying out the
Library’s mission in the most fiscally prudent manner possible.
This past year, the Board actively examined the Library’s finances
and funding levels. In 2022, the Library levy will be $46,881
less than 2021 due to refunding and reissuing our debt service
bonds. The bond refinance savings of $458,338 over the next
10 years will start in 2022. We worked with the Village of
Deerfield to refinance the general obligation bonds from our
building renovation project in 2013.
I’m grateful for the good stewardship of both the Library Board
and the Village of Deerfield. This is how libraries thrive.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
The Library is full of treasures, some “hidden,” some right out in the
open. Some are things you can hold, and some live only in the digital
realm. A few treasures are new resources, and others have been
around for years. Library staff regularly surprise patrons
with info about DPL treasures. Here are some staff favorites!

No need to travel to visit

galleries in the Chicago area –

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.

Limited hours, Monday-Saturday.
Schedule subject to change.
For current hours, see
deerfieldlibrary.org/contact.
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.

Message from the Dii’ector
Building project update
As this newsletter goes to
print, we continue to
evaluate possible sites for
our temporary location,
including creating
preliminary floor plans to
test for suitability, and
exploring lease rates and conditions. Once
the final location is agreed upon and the
lease signed, we will make only the minimal
changes necessary to meet building codes
and make the spaces usable for our
purposes. Nothing fancy! We will also obtain
a special use permit from the Village to
operate the site as a temporary Library.
*r*»;*'m
LAV
Our move from the current building to an
interim site is planned for late spring. Some
meeting room functions and programs will
be curtailed around mid-December, as we
begin packing and preparing for the move.
Be assured that as soon as we know where
we’re going to be, we’ll let the community
know all the details, including—
importantly—how we will continue to
provide great service.
We’re also moving forward with the
renovation of the current Library, including
making final design decisions for the
interior, selecting the color palette with
floor and wall finishes, and creating
construction drawings for the project. We
have selected Mortenson as the
Construction Management firm.
You can follow our progress on our website
and Facebook, or by attending our board
meetings. Please see our website for dates,
times, locations, and prior board meeting
minutes, too.

E-book Collection E-xpands
The demand for e-books is skyrocketing, and we are making
a^ustments to better serve you. For example, we are
dedicating more dollars to extra copies of titles for which
there are long waiting lists, and ONLY Deerfield cardholders
will be eligible for those added copies. This will lessen the
time our patrons spend waiting for a popular e-book. We will
also temporarily adjust our materials budget while we are in
the small temporary space to purchase additional e-books to
meet demand.

Book Discussions
((l LOVED this book!”
December 8,10:30 a.m.
What better way to end the year than by discussing our faves—the books
we read this year that we loved, that we couldn’t put down, the books that
we told our family and friends that they HAD to read? Please come
prepared to talk about the book—or books—that you loved.
Looking ahead, the Library’s book discussions will be taking a hiatus this
winter as we prepare for our move to the temporary location. Please watch
for information about the dates and locations when the book discussions
resume in the spring. If you are interested in participating in an online
book discussion, please contact Melissa at reference@deerfieldlibrary.org.
Ask Us via Text or Instant Message
You can now contact the reference desk via text and instant message (IM), in
addition to phone or email. Text and IM are perfect for resolving quick factoid
spats like who was Harry Truman’s vice president, what was the name of that
book about the circus magicians or answering that last minute question before
book club. Send an instant message straight from our home page or text us at
847-790-4TXT (4898). We look forward to hearing from you—no matter how you
get in touch!
Want the First Season of Bones? Get it All-in-One!
Have you ever looked for the latest season of your favorite show only to find that
disc one was checked out? This fall we started packaging television seasons
together rather than splitting discs into individual cases for checkout, so you
won’t miss an episode! As always, we welcome your feedback about this and any
other changes here at the Library.
Meeting Room News
Our busy meeting rooms are going to be put to a different use while we gear up
for the move to the interim site. Because both the large meeting room and the
lower level conference room need to be dedicated to staging, sorting, and
storage of moving materials, we have reluctantly decided that we won’t be able
to take reservations for meetings held after December 15th.
Our apologies to all the homeowners associations, non-profit, civic and
educational groups, boy scouts, girl scouts and more that keep our meeting
rooms hopping. We’ll look forward to seeing you back in our newly refurbished
meeting space in 2013!

ones? Join us for an hour that will make this
150th anniversary year local and personal. A
partner program of the Library and the Deerfield
Area Historical Society. □
Who Knows What Evil Lurks
in the Hearts of Men???
If you already know the answer to
that question—or if you want to—
check out the Radio Classics
available as e-audiobooks at the
Library. It’s easy:
1. Go to the Library’s home page
and type in Radio Classics in the Search field.
2. In the Format box on the left side of the page,
click on e-audiobooks.
3. When you make your selection, click on the
information located to the right of the first
arrow underneath the title. It will take you to
My Media mall where you can start
downloading to your computer or other device.
If you need help downloading, stop by the
Reference or Multimedia Desks for help!
�Go Beyond Google
• • •
Sometimes, you just need more information—or you need to be sure that the
information you're getting is accurate, current and reliable—than the
results of an “I’m feeling lucky” Google search. Here are two true stories
featuring websites recommended by ourfully-qualified research
professionals, also known as Reference Libranans!
MedlinePlus
Recently, I had a patron ask for information on diabetes. The patron was just diagnosed
and looking for reliable information but without all the medical jargon. In addition to our
books (located in non-fiction, call #616.462), I introduced the patron to my favorite go-to
place for medical information, medlineplus.gov. I love this site for several reasons. First,
it is specifically written for patients, their families, and friends creating one of the most
easily understood medical information sites out there. Second, it is produced by the
National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health making it one of
the most reliable places to obtain information about diseases, conditions, and other
medical issues.
MedlinePlus has three very helpful sections, “Health Topics”, “Drugs & Supplements” and
“Videos and Cool Tools”. “Health Topics” is like an encyclopedia and provides an overview
of the topic including symptoms, treatments, prevention and much more. The “Drugs &
Supplements” section answers questions about why a medication would be prescribed and
how it should be used. The “Video and Cool Tools” portion offers interactive tutorials and
videos regarding specific topics. After reviewing these segments, the patron was thrilled
with the information we discovered! This resource provided the patron with an easy to
understand explanation of diabetes without dumbing down the information. As a bonus,
the patron felt much more confident about what questions to ask the doctor during the
next visit.
CNET
AARP Tax-Aide Moves to
the Patty Turner Center
AARP Tax-Aide—a free tax help
service the Library has hosted for
many years—will relocate to the
Patty Turner Center as the Library
begins its own relocation to an
interim site. Starting February 3,
IRS certified volunteers for the
AARP will be on hand every
Tuesday and Friday through
April 13 from 1-4 p.m. at the
Patty Turner Center, 375 Elm
Street, 847-9404010. You don’t
need to be an older adult, a member
of the AARP, or the Patty Turner
Center to receive assistance. Please
bring copies of last year’s returns
and all tax forms you receive (W-2s,
1099s, etc.). Please call the Patty
Turner at 847-9404010 starting
Monday, January 30, to make
an appointment.
A patron needed some help choosing a tablet computer. She was going on vacation and
needed something that would allow her to watch a movie on the plane, check her e-mail,
and read an e-book, and it still had to fit in her bag. After taking a look at Consumer
Reports online (available free to Deerfield cardholders on the Library’s website), I
introduced her to CNET.com, a website known for its technology reviews and how-tos. She
watched videos of tablet shopping tips and reviews, compared web speed and battery life
of different models, and read thoughtful reviews from CNET editors. She was able to
search through the list of tablets by price range, manufacturer, screen size, and more. She
found two that she really liked and she was going to see what they looked like in person at
the store. She was a happy camper!
CNET is a great way to stay up-to-date with technology. They review everything from cell
phones to GPS systems to digital cameras. Their video reviews are especially informative,
since they spend time going over the whole device, showing off all the buttons and
demonstrating how it actually works. They also offer a lot of information and advice on
what to purchase and how to use it in your daily life. It’s an interactive website with
videos, podcasts, and more traditional articles. They invite readers to post comments and
suggestions, so there’s plenty of real-world feedback as well. The website can seem a little
busy, with all of the different information they’re sharing, but they do make it easy to
search by category or by reviews, videos, and how-tos. I would definitely recommend this
website to anyone interested in up-to-date tech reviews and information, and especially
for people who get more from watching reviews than reading them.
Toys for Tots
Drop off new, unwrapped toys in the
Toys for Tots collection box in the
Library lobby now through
December 15th. This annual drive,
sponsored by the U.S. Marine Corps
Reserve, has been putting smiles on
the faces of needy youngsters for
over 60 years.. .be a part of it!
Hint: Books make GREAT giftsfor
kids of any age!

�Library Improvement
Plan FAQ
Q: How are “green” practices and
energy-saving features being
incorporated into the Library
Improvement Project?
The Library—staff and Trustees—and
the professionals at PSA Dewberry, are
all committed to making the renovated
building as green as possible. Here’s a
list of items already incorporated in
the plan:
• We will monitor construction
activities for possible pollution in
and around the site.
• Additional green spaces will be
added to the parking lot.
• Many native and drought tolerant
plants will be used in landscaping.
• There will be secure bike racks near

Looking back
moving forward
•
•
Deerfield Public Library started the year full
of anticipation about moving to a temporary
site (not even identified until February!) and
getting our building project underway on
time. Although we are in a temporary
location, people have definitely found us!
Total check-outs for all types of materials are
in line with the growth we’ve experienced
these past two years—and we circulate about
490,000 items a year. Free downloads of
Libraiy e-books first doubled, then tripled
during that time! Due to our space
limitations, we are offering fewer programs
than usual, but staples like book discussion
groups for adults and storytimes for children
are in full swing. All in all, community
members are using the Library —including
our expanded online services—as much
as ever.
One of the statistics we don’t like to see
rising is the number of unattended children.
Libraries are public places, and it is safest
(and required) for all children under the age
of nine to be in the direct care of a
responsible adult at all times. We increasingly
find children as young as 18 months
wandering alone, without an adult. This now
happens up to 40 times a month, up from a
low of sue times per month! If you have, or
care for, young children at the Library,
please keep them with you at all times.
Overall, 2012 has been a very successful year
for us, and we deeply appreciate your support
through it all. We look forward to
presenting you with the remodeled,
expanded, and fully stocked Library in
June of 2013. Until then, you can find us at
our temporaiy location and online. We hope
to have the pleasure of serving you veiy soon.

“I didn’t
know that!”
We asked staff to give us the inside track on some frequently over-looked and
under-used Libraiy resources. You may be surprised!
Y\ Kay P., Adult Services: “Ifyou’re lookingfor good
, V recommendations for books, DVDs, and CDs, simply
type 'Staff Picks’ into the Library’s catalog. Click on a
fwL\ mie, scroll down to 'Community Reviews’ and read
Vmk
why this selection made the list. ”
Claudette O., Patron Services:
“Patrons often ask us if we have a
record of the books they’ve read. While the
Library doesn’t keep any records of material that has
been checked out and returned, there is a feature under
'My Account ’ on our website that does give the patron
an option to save their own history. Just log in, click
on the 'My Reading History’ icon and 'opt in’ to the
history option. The history beginsfrom the date the patron opts in,
but should keep the ‘Have I read this one?’ down to a minimum in
thefuture!”

will be judged based on creativity,
design and the message communicated.

Community and Cooperation
It’s been a busy first
three months! I’ve
been so touched by
the community support
and welcome.. .thank
you for making me feel
like I’m home.
I might be new to the Deerfield
community but I have been actively
involved in Illinois libraries since 2000.
I began my Illinois library career at the
Galesburg Public Library. There I got
first-hand knowledge of all that Illinois
libraries have to offer. I became involved
in programs with the Illinois State
Library, Illinois Library Association, and
the regional library system.
While the first part of my career was
spent in the central part of the state,
I am struck by the similarities of local
libraries and the value placed on
resource sharing. With your valid
Deerfield library card, you are able
to use it at local libraries through a
cooperative agreement. If you can’t find
a particular title in our catalog, you can
always search our LINKin catalog, which
provides access to area library catalogs.
This material is delivered here and
you can come by to pick it up from our
self-service Holds shelf. Ask our helpful
staff in Patron Services if you have any
questions about it!
Communities are incredibly passionate
about their public library and Deerfield
is no exception. Please feel free to con
tact me with any questions or concerns
you may have.

compilation of authoritative reference books, journals, and articles,
all accessible through one online search.
Starting to think about holiday gifts?
Or that next big birthday or graduation?
Honor book lovers of all ages by adding
a book to the Library collection in their
name. The Library accepts donations to
purchase books for the Library as a
gift or memorial. Librarians choose
books that reflect the interests of the
honored person, and a bookplate
with that person’s name is added
to the book. More information at
deerfieldlibrary.org/giving. Stop by the
Adult or Youth desk to speak with a
librarian about your gift.
For example, has the Curiosity
Rover on Mars or The Martian
movie piqued your interest in
the red planet? Research is as easy as...
1. Visit deerfieldlibrary.org/online-resources, scroll down and click on
“Gale Virtual Reference Library.”*
2. Enter your library card # (this is your password).
3. Enter keywords “planet Mars.” Instantly! 62 results in 23 different

• Listen to the article
• Translate to another language
• Obtain citations for research papers in two formats
It won’t take long to figure out how to make the most of this rich
resource. If you need help, ask a librarian either in person,

Thank you to the Deerfield Fine Arts Commission for co-sponsoring the
filled-to-capacity Paint Night @ the Library.
