Message from the Director
It’s the little things...
Can you guess the patron
comment I receive most
often? It is the request
for drive-up book drops
outside the Library. In
writing, via phone, or
email, even at social or
business gatherings, someone always mentions
this highly desired convenience. Well, our
Library Trustees and staff members have heard
this request loud and clear, and found a way to
provide it. By the time you read this, there
should be two drive-up drop boxes near the front
entrance to the Library—one for books, and one
for all types of audio-visual materials. I look
forward to receiving your comments about them!
We continue to listen. Our Board members
are going to be available in our lobby and other
public places such as the Farmers Market from
time to time. We hope you’ll stop by and
say hello.
We soon will be holding public sessions to
solicit your feedback about the findings of the
space needs and architectural review of our
building. This will be the opportunity for
residents across the community to have a
voice in the future plans for the Library. Please
consider participating.
We know it takes time to turn dreams and
ideas into reality, so we continue to test ideas
and learn from them. One example is the Teen
area we are creating, adjacent to the
Multimedia collections. We will use what we
learn there to plan even better spaces and
services for teens in the future.
Here is one thing you won’t have long to
wait for—at the end of the summer we will
launch our new automation system. More about
its features and conveniences are detailed in
this edition. We think you’ll be amazed! Our
staff members will help you test-drive the
system at the Library or from home, so you can
make full use of its features.
We are constantly looking for ways to serve
you better. We hope you believe we are
succeeding.
New Library Catalog Helps You Find Your Way!
Find everything you need in the Library’s new
online catalog of books, movies, magazine
articles, and more. The new catalog “goes live”
on August 18. Whether you are in the Library or
surfing from home, you can er\joy this fast, easy
resource on any computer at any time.
The new catalog looks and acts much like what
you find on your favorite retail sites. You can
see book covers and reviews, ei\joy one-click
searching of other area libraries, and sign up to
receive alerts when new items of interest arrive
at the Library. We want to reward your explor
ing. Beginning August 18 you can use your Deerfield Public Library card to
enter an online drawing for a GPS navigation system. If you haven’t used your
Library card in a while, you may need to re-register at our Circulation desk.
Please bring one piece of identification with your current address and we’ll be
happy to update your account.
In order to successfully move from one catalog to another, the Library will be
closed all day Sunday, August 16 and Monday, August 17. Please do not return
materials between Thursday, August 13 and Thursday, August 20. Loan periods
will be extended on all items that would normally be due during that week.
Architectural Review Progress Report
The Deerfield Public Library Board has engaged PSA-Dewberry, an
architectural and engineering firm, to evaluate our current Library and
report the findings to the board and community. The process includes:
• assessing the current building structure and systems,
• conversing (focus groups) with representative members of the community,
staff, and board about perceived current and future needs,
• evaluating space needs and trends in libraries, and
• comparing our library building, staffing, circulation and other key
measurements with peer libraries serving similarly sized populations.
A preliminary report of the building found that the structure appears solid,
although the building systems need significant upgrades or replacement. In
addition, building codes have changed since the 1970s when the current
Library was built. The architects expect to finish the current space needs
assessment and report to the board, staff, and community by summer. We
plan to hold public sessions to review the architects’ findings and recommen
dations, and to solicit your feedback. Afterward, the Library Board will
determine any next steps that may take place.

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.

Message from the
Director
In the darker
days of winter, I
ff
appreciate the
«•.
golden light
that pours forth
from a friendly
window. Is
there anything more welcoming?
Recently, I was walking back to the
Library after an evening meeting.
Through the glowing panes, I saw
the Library full of people engaged in
a variety of ei\joyable activities.
kiv
Record-breaking attendance,
climbing circulation figures,
increasing demands for our meeting
rooms and for tables throughout the
building—something is going on
here!! Even we have been a little
surprised at these dramatic increases.
No doubt the shaky economy is one
reason - the Library is a terrific
family-entertainment resource. We
hope the many positive changes and
improved access day and night, here
or from home or office, are
contributing factors as well.
In this issue you will discover many
new reasons to come to the Library
and information about our plans to
make it even more inviting. Be sure
to see the Board’s announcement of
our plans to update the Library.
Whatever your plans are for the next
few months, we hope that you’ll let
us extend a cheery hello to you this
winter.

Library Board Engages Architectural Consultant
Last year the Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees decided to stay in downtown
Deerfield at our present location. Although it appears that our 37-year-old building is
structurally sound, we continue to hear from members of the community that it is time
for an update. More than just updating the worn and outdated interior, it is time to
rearrange our space to make better use of the building and reconfigure it to meet the
needs of our community. Included in this improvement plan is the possibility for a
small addition.
The Board has engaged the services of a Chicago-area architectural firm to review the
current building systems and structure in detail, evaluate the use of space and evolving
programming and service needs, and conduct community focus groups. The purpose of
this process is to generate ideas and build consensus about the vital services and space
needs of a dynamic community library. The architectural firm will use this information to
develop a set of proposals to enhance our current building on Waukegan Road. These
alternatives will be presented to the public for further discussion and analysis.
As we write this, the dates for these activities are being planned. We invite you to
watch for further announcements and we welcome your ideas and comments at any time.

One Book, One Zip Code
The 2009 “One Book, One Zip Code” selection for adults and high
school students is Listening Is an Act ofLove: Celebration of

These stories, first recorded as part of the StoryCorps Project,

include personal accounts of triumph, tragedy, and all the human

places in between.
The heart of StoryCorps is the conversation between two people
©
who are important to each other: a grandson asking his grandmother
__J
about her childhood, an immigrant telling his friend about coming to [
America, or a couple reminiscing on their 50th wedding anniversary.
By helping people to connect and to talk about the questions that
matter, the StoryCorps experience is powerful and sometimes even life-changing.
Last year, representatives from Bannockburn, Deerfield and Riverwoods planned and
presented our first “One Book” program. Last year’s book was Mountains Beyond
Mountains, by Tracy Kidder.
This spring, “One Book, One Zip Code” partners will once again provide readers with
opportunities to come together at locations throughout the community for discussions,
lectures, and interactive events related to the book.
Parents, look for a kid’s version of “One Book” coming this spring!

�Staff News
Welcome Emily Compton,
Head of Reference
If Emily looks familiar, it is because she
has been a librarian with us for just
over a year. After a multi-state search
for a new head of reference, we
realized that we had to look no further
to find exactly what we needed. Emily
has a strong commitment to excellent
reference services and nonfiction
readers’ advisory, as well as offering
virtual services via our website. She
appreciates the skills and experience
of her coworkers, and together they
form an impressive team.
Welcome Sheila Urwiler,
Head of Multimedia
Sheila joined our new Multimedia
department in late September. She has
extensive experience in customer
service and staff training, and she
recently made the career change to
librarianship. Currently a student
librarian with a passion for music and
movies, she will complete her MLS
degree in December. Sheila has many
ideas for the expansion of the media
collections and services, so let her
know your areas of interest!
Best Wishes to Juanita
Nicholson, Reference
Librarian
Juanita will retire in late November
after dedicating five years of superb
service to the Deerfield community.
Over the years you may have noticed
her displays, complete with Victor the
penguin, or you may have made a
delicious meal with a cookbook she
selected for the Libraiy. Juanita’s
passion for research and teaching is an
inspiration to library users and staff
alike. We will all miss her kind attitude,
engaging stories, and undying patience.
Thank you and best wishes, Juanita!

Message from the
Director
Bravo, Judy Hortin!
Our steadfast Head
of Reference, Judy
Hortin, is retiring
after nearly twenty
years of dedicated
service to our com
munity and library.
Never one to draw attention to herself,
Judy wants to slip quietly out the door
without fanfare. Nevertheless, we know
many of you will miss her nearly as
much as we will, so we pay special
tribute to her in our newsletter.
Thank you, Judy, for the strong
example you have set of excellent
service and professionalism.
“A person’s a person,
no matter how small. ”
— Dr. Seuss, Horton Hears a Who!
r.
s4tx\
“There are no small questions. ”
— Judy Hortin
When Judy Hortin retires from her
position as Head of Reference at the
end of the summer, it’s the stories of
the people she’s worked with and helped,
not the ones printed in books, that will mean the most to her.
“What I’ll miss most is the mix of working with people and the intellectual
stimulation of the brain. I really eryoy being around people who care about
the same things that I do—cultural pursuits,” said Hortin.
Iron Chef Deerfield
Which teen’s cuisine
reigns supreme? Iron
f
Chef Deerfield, a
cooking competition
for high school stu
dents based on the
popular TV show, pre
mieres at 2 p.m. on October 18. Six teams of
teens (up to three per team) will show off
their improv cooking chops to a live audi
ence. After learning their surprise ingredi
ents, these budding chefs will have one
hour and access to the Library’s extensive
cookbook collection to plan and prepare a
meal to serve our discerning tasting panel.
This program is part of the American
Library Association’s Teen Read Week,
“Books with Bite.” All materials will be
provided by the Library. Space is limited,
so please call (847) 945-3311 ext. 19 to
reserve your place.
■>
Fortunately for Judy’s coworkers, her definition of culture is a broad one.
One of Judy’s most lasting contributions to Deerfield Public Library’s cultural
archive will be her fearless, and often funny, song stylings—a children’s
classic at the holidays, custom lyrics to a popular tune, some Civil War ditty
that she claims she dug up while answering a reference question.
Library Director Mary Pergander thanks Judy for “the strong example she has
set of excellent service and professionalism.” Judy’s patience, kindness, sense
of fun, and passion for helping others will remain models for all who had the
great joy of working with her.
Coming Soon: Live Homework Help!
The Library will offer Tutor.com, which provides trained and trusted
tutors to provide individual assistance to students of all ages online.

soys and Girls Read
A concerned parent remarked that we
seemed to be favoring boys over girls in some
recent youth programming. Temporarily, that
was true. We received grant money to pro
mote reading among boys, based on evidence
that some boys need focused assistance to be
strong readers. The grant and additional local
funding allowed us to offer several boy-target
ed reading programs. We are delighted that
many girls have requested extra attention,
too, and we now offer reading clubs for girls,
as well. And of course, both boys and girls
ei\joy reading to our furry, four-legged K-9
Reading Buddies each month. For more infor
mation about reading programs for girls

New Look for Library
Web Site
According to a new study, Americans spend an average of 32.7
hours a week online. That’s why we’ve redesigned the
Libraiy’s ‘Virtual branch.” It’s now easier than ever for you to
use Library resources when you’re online. The new web site
features an updated calendar of Library events; recommended
web sites for adults, teens, and children; lists of bestsellers
and award-winners that take you directly into the Library’s
catalog; and online forms for asking a librarian a question.

�Message from the
Director
You’ve spoken,
and we’ve lis
tened and made
changes. If
there is a
theme to this
newsletter
issue, that is it!
Many of you have expressed frus
tration in the past over our fee
structures, limits on materials, and
renewal limits. Well, we have
dropped some of these and loos
ened up others (although they
aren’t all gone!) The goal is to give
you more of what you want and less
of what you don’t want. Read about
these changes on the front page.
We have also launched a new web
site, designed to help you find what
you are seeking more easily. We’ve
added many new features, and
more are yet to come. We hope
you’ll agree that this is a big
improvement!
During the summer months, watch
for some colorful, comfortable new
additions to the furnishings in the
Youth Services department. A few
similar touches may appear in
other departments, as well.
Although we are planning substan
tial interior improvements for the
future, we realize that a few
updates will brighten the Library
and make coming here more enjoy
able. We want to help build antici
pation for the other positive
changes to come!
Stop by and see for yourself,

In the early 1990s, the Simon family began
a memorial fund for the Library, in honor
of their daughter Amy Simon. The funds
were used primarily for certain types of
children’s books and to promote reading
for children. The fund grew over the years
as other family members contributed.
Although the fund was terminated in 2006
many children’s books continued to
receive the memorial nameplate. Today,
there are dozens of these titles. To show
appreciation for the Simon family’s gen
erosity through the years, the Youth
Services department recently created a
special display of some of the Simon Fund
memorial books, which are available for
check-out. The display, updated regularly,
will run through May 2008.

Message from the
Director
Spring is the time
.
when all things
;
come alive again,
including the

Boys and Reading:
What’s the Problem? What’s the Solution?
Parents and teachers concerned with the question, “How can we get
boys to read?" will want to hear award-winning author Marc
Aronson’s answers. Aronson believes the key to helping boys succeed
at reading is to find out what interests them. He says, “But we do the
opposite. We treat reading as novel reading and tell boys who like
facts, battles, sports magazines, websites, or fantasy that they are not
readers.” In this presentation, Dr. Aronson shows how to build
bridges to reading by seeing boys for who they are.
Monday, March 10, 7 p.m. Space is limited.
Author Marc
Aronson
To make reservations, please call 847-945-3311.
We also take special pleasure in bring
ing the Library out into the community.
With “One Book, One Zip Code,” we are
doing just that! In cooperation with our
community partners (see accompanying
article), One Book programs will occur
in convenient locations throughout the
three-village area. Our Friends group
has been pursuing service outside the
Library, as well. Their popular paper
back bookrack at the train station
provides entertaining reading materials
even for those too busy to squeeze in a
visit to the Library.
Speaking of squeezing into the
Library...
Many of you have begun to ask if there
are plans for the building itself. As
reported in thz Deerfield Review, we
love our downtown location in the
heart of the community. We are cur
rently exploring ways to reconfigure
and refresh the space we have and
considering a possible addition that
would increase our ability to meet
changing community needs and
interests. What can we do for YOU?
This program is a part ofDeerfield Public Library’s Reading Warriors grant. Fundingfor this
grant was awarded by the Illinois Slate Library a division of the Office ofSecretary ofState\ using
funds provided by the Institute ofMuseum and Library Services, under thefederal Library

One Book, One Zip Code
2008: Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder
Community-wide reading programs like “One Book, One Chicago” are becoming popu
lar across the country and around the world. Last year, representatives from Deerfield,
Bannockburn, and Riverwoods began planning our first One Book program. The title

tial health care options for the poor. Inspiring and

issues of poverty, health care, and international aid.

Message from the Director
Some folks say that
winter is the dull
season, but not at
Deerfield Public
*
Library! We’re
ablaze with all the
possibilities we envi
sioned when our Library Board and
management team met recently to dis
cuss service expectations and emerging
trends in society. Now, we are using
what we learned to plan for an exciting
transformation.
■
One trend we are addressing is the desire
for convenient, personalized services. You
want your library resources and services
available when you need them, not just
when we are open. Now, you can place
your own holds, request e-mail notifica
tion about library materials, and down
load e-audiobooks. You can even have
program updates, new titles in your
choice of interests, and the New York
Times Bestseller List e-mailed to you! Not
sure how? We’ll be happy to get you started.
We shared the news about new Library
services this fall at many community
events. A presentation to the Chamber of
Commerce, booths at Community Services
Day and the 50+ Expo, visits to the high
school, and support of Arts & Riverwoods
are just a few examples of our ongoing
involvement in our community.
Throughout this newsletter you’ll read
how partnerships with local organizations
and businesses also have helped create
new grant opportunities and a communi
ty-wide book discussion. We aren’t just
joiners—we’re doers! Invite us to YOUR
next community event!

New Year’s Evolution
What have we resolved to do even better in the New Year? The Deerfield Public
Library wants to exceed your expectations! We are creating new ways to serve
the community, and we’re enhancing the Library collections and services that
you and your families tell us you love. Some of the innovations you will notice
right away are an expanded Multimedia department, “Reading Warriors: A Guys
Read Program” for boys in 3rd - 5th grade, and “One Book, One Zip Code,” a
community-wide reading program for adults.
Multimedia Department
Did you know that Deerfield Public Library patrons checked out almost as many
discs and DVDs as books last year? The Library is responding to this demand for
audiovisual materials by increasing staff and services in its new Multimedia
department.
You’ll find
• More staff members specially trained to
answer your questions about movies,
music, and more
• Reclassified CDs to make finding the
right items easier than ever (Next, we’ll
reclassify the audiobooks and separate
them into fiction and nonfiction.)
• New formats—including *Wii games,
*Playaways, and *downloadables
• Multiple copies of popular items
• Musical scores and media-related
magazines
*MediaSpeak
Wii: Nintendo’s most recent video
game console, distinguished by its
wireless controller
Playaways: Portable MP3 players
preloaded with one audiobook each
Downloadables: Text or audio files
that can be downloaded to your
computer and enjoyed at home or
transferred to a portable device
Reading Warriors: A Guys Read Program
Girls continued to outperform boys in reading this year, according to a recent
national study. Deerfield Public Library wants to address that trend and encour
age reading and library use among elementary school boys next year, with pro
grams and services supported by a Library Services and Technology Act grant of
$2,876. The Library will use funds awarded to “Reading Warriors: A Guys Read
Program” to survey boys in 3rd—5th grades on their reading preferences; offer a
workshop led by an expert on boys’ literacy for parents and teachers; and
increase the number of “boy-friendly” books, booklists, and programs the Library
provides.
�Adult Programs
Programs are free and open to the public. Please register in advance by calling 847-945-3311.

Dear Neighbor:
This past year, a group of volunteers formed The
Friends of the Deerfield Public Library, a not-forprofit organization dedicated to enriching the
library’s materials, services and programs. Our
first project is to raise $1,200 to purchase
Playaways, ready-to-go digital audiobooks which
are about the size of a deck of cards.
Our group has been involved in several activities
to establish our presence in the community. To
introduce ourselves to the community and provide
information about our group, we assisted the
Library with several of their events. We maintain
the book spinner at the Deerfield Train Station,
which has provided hundreds of free used books
to commuters. In September we had a booth at
the Farmer’s Market and at Deerfield Community
Days. In addition, we recently assumed responsi
bility for the sale and maintenance of the
ongoing used book sale at the Library.
Please help us in our efforts to assist the
Deerfield Public Library by becoming an annual
member of the Friends for $15 or more. We
welcome and appreciate all donations. Your gift
is tax-deductible as allowed by law.
THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND OF THE
DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY!

Income Tax Forms
Why was the Library closed?
A limited number of the most-used tax forms
for individuals will be available in the Libraiy
beginning in January. Get all federal forms at
imw.irs.gov or by phoning 1-800-TAX-FORM
(1-800-829-3676). Get all Illinois forms at
iwow.tax.illinois.gov or by phoning
1-800-356-6302. Small-business owners and anyone
needing multiple copies of forms should place
orders directly with the federal or state govern
ment for home delivery. Income tax assistance will
be available from IRS-trained AARP volunteers at
the Library from 1 - 4 p.m. on Tuesdays and
Fridays from February 1 through April 15.
We realize it is inconvenient for you when we are
closed and you need us. From time to time, we
close in order to provide staff training that can
help us better serve you. For example, last June
we learned about fire safety and practiced using
fire extinguishers! In October, all employees had
an orientation to our basic reference services and
also learned the steps we will follow to transition
to a new automation system next year. We try to
keep closures to a minimum and to use the time
wisely in ways that ultimately will benefit you.
