Message from
the Director
Thank you, Deerfield!
The recent approval of
the Library’s request for
funding for the Library
Improvement Plan is a win for everyone
in Deerfield. This gives us the
opportunity to improve our library
building and services, which will benefit
the entire community.
We have begun to get questions about
how soon we will proceed. There are
many steps to be completed and
approvals to be obtained as we move
forward. For example, we need to complete
the architectural designs, and then
share them with Village Commissions as
part of the approval process. Certain
questions or concerns may require some
adjustments to the design or other
changes. When the approval process is
final, we will need to go out to bid for
construction, then evaluate the bids to
assure we are getting the best value and
quality for the project. At best this
process will take several seasons, if all
goes smoothly.
We appreciate the ongoing interest of
our residents, and we will continue to
keep you updated via our Facebook and
Website pages. We received very positive
feedback about our openness during the
referendum, and we plan to continue
sharing our progress with you along the
way. Of course you are also welcome to
attend Library Board meetings, or read
the minutes of these meetings on our
website. Keeping you informed and
involved is important to us, so please
share your questions and comments
along the way.

Library Improvement Plans Move Forward
The November 2 referendum for $11,775 million to fund the Library Improvement
Plan was approved! Over 58.4% of Deerfield voters voted yes, with 41.5% voting against.
The plan calls for improvements to the Library building and services, in order to
meet the needs of Deerfield residents for the next 20 years or more. Space will be
reorganized, remodeled, and expanded. The building layout will become more open
and flexible to allow for changing needs and multi-purpose uses. Adults will have
more quiet reading areas. Additional computers will be added for adults and children,
and a new Technology Lab will offer instruction and workshops. The Youth Services
area will be improved, along with a larger and better designed Youth Program Room.
All restrooms will be ADA compliant. Self-check kiosks and a convenience center will
be added, and the meeting room will be enlarged. The building’s aging infrastructure
will be upgraded or replaced, and the parking lot will be improved.
“The vote is a win for everyone in Deerfield. This gives us the opportunity to improve
our Library building and services, which will benefit the entire community,” said Ken
Abosch, President of the Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees. “The Library
Board is grateful to eveiyone who provided ideas and feedback as we developed the
Library Improvement Plan. We also want to thank Deerfield residents for the time
they took to become informed about the referendum.”
The Board will proceed with the Libraiy Improvement Plan in the most expedient
and efficient manner possible. There are many steps involved, including finalizing
architectural design, reviewing of the plans by Village commissions, completing
construction documents, and bidding the various phases of construction work. It’s not
possible at this time to say exactly when construction will begin.
Please check the Library’s Web site for the latest information about implementation
of the Library Improvement Plan.

Vd Public Lib
To Deerfield Residents
From Ken Abosch, President
Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees
On July 21, the Library Board unanimously
agreed to take the next step toward a plan to
improve the Deerfield Public Library. Trustees
voted to put a referendum on the November
2010 general election ballot asking for funds
for the Library Improvement Plan. (See related
article.)
As President of the Deerfield Public Library
Board of Trustees, I am proud of the public
process used to develop the plan. A 23-member
Citizens Input Group (CIG) helped the Library
Board gather and evaluate feedback about
Library needs and options through a series of
seven community open houses in March and
June. The Board also sought input about
improvement options through an independent
telephone survey of community residents, as
well as one-on-one conversations.
As a result of what we heard, Library Trustees
combined elements from several options and
downsized the most ambitious improvement
suggestions. The Library Improvement Plan
expands on what is now available and possible.
It will bring our Library into the 21st centuiy
in order to provide Deerfield with the greatest
possible value from this important community
asset.
On behalf of the Libraiy Board, I want to thank
everyone who participated in this process by
sharing ideas, feedback, and questions.
Especially, we want to thank the members of
the Citizens Input Group for being the
additional eyes and ears for the Libraiy Board,
by helping trustees gather input from Deerfield
residents.
We look forward to talking with community
members over the next few months as we
provide more details about the Libraiy
Improvement Plan.
"•WS.
*6' Number 2
Library Improvement Plan
Over the past year, the Libraiy Board has carefully evaluated options for
improving our nearly 40-year-old libraiy building and its capacity to serve
Deerfield residents. Libraiy Trustees sought input from Deerfield residents and
studied how best to meet the libraiy service needs of our community now and
into the future.
At its July 21,2010 meeting, Libraiy Trustees reviewed all these findings and
voted unanimously to seek funding through a November 2010 referendum for a
Libraiy Improvement Plan. The plan will upgrade infrastructure, reconfigure
and renovate existing space, and expand the Libraiy by about 10,000 square feet.
The Deerfield Public Libraiy has been well used since the building opened
more than 39 years ago. Since 1971, Deerfield’s population has changed and
usage has increased. New types of materials, services, and technology have
expanded the ways residents can use and benefit from the Libraiy.
“While we’ve been able to update some services to meet changing needs, we
face challenges in delivering 21st-century service from a building that was built
in the last centuiy. Our residents deserve a full-service library that is better
able to meet the growing demands and changing needs of our community,” said
Ken Abosch, Library Board President.
After considering a range of options and reviewing community input, the
Libraiy Board developed a Libraiy Improvement Plan that it feels offers the
greatest value in the most cost-effective manner. The project is significantly
downsized from a 2004 referendum which sought to build a new libraiy. The
2010 referendum amount of $11,775 million is less than half of the amount
sought in 2004. The existing building will be renovated and expanded, providing
new and better spaces at a more economical cost. Exciting new areas and
features will be designed for flexibility to meet changing space and patron
needs into the future.
The Libraiy Board plans to spend $2 million of its reserves on the project. The
reserves were accumulated specifically for this type of need: to update and
replace infrastructure, or other capital project needs related to the building.
More information about the proposed Libraiy Improvement Plan is available on
the Library’s website at www.deerfieldlibraiy.org. In addition, Public
Information Meetings in September and October will provide architectural
conceptual drawings and more information about the project.

Stoichiometric Coefficients and
the Molar Ratios
“Sure.”
We suppose that there are some parents
who might say, “Cool - first check the
stoichiometric coefficients and the molar
ratios.” If you are that parent, skip this
article and go on to the next. If you’re not,
you need to know about Live Homework
Help from 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 chemistiy. In fact, in
June, lOth-grade chemistiy students used
Tutor.com to ask questions just like the one
described above. Here’s one of the
comments from a chemistiy student about
the service: “My tutor was incredible. She
was able to help me out with a difficult
chem concept and she continued to give me
practice problems when she realized I was
still shaky.”
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 p.m.

Message from
the Director
' JTf-, " ^
We deeply appreciate the t
feedback from the
community as the Library
Board seeks input about
the possible building improvement
project. The March series of Public Open
Houses, the April/May telephone survey,
and the Citizen Input Group have all
contributed to our understanding of the
perspectives, concerns, and suggestions
about the future of the Library in
our village.
What’s next? The Library Board will
review the feedback from the Open
Houses, telephone survey, and Citizen
Input Group. Based on these and other
resources, the Library Board will select
one of the original four options and begin
to develop it further. They will determine
a preferred course of action, and share it
with the Village Board. Then, the
preferred option will be shared with the
community through the second series of
Public Open Houses. Once again, public
feedback will be collected and reviewed
with the Citizen Input Group. By late
summer, the Library Board will
determine whether to proceed with a
possible referendum.
Want to learn more? Have an opinion to
share? The Library Board will continue to
invite participation through the next
series of Public Open Houses. (See
“Planning for the Future” for dates and
times of the sessions.) Take a behind-thescenes tour. Learn about the issues.
Compare us to other libraries. Consider
the costs. To contact a Board member,
call or email them using the contact
information provided on the back cover
of the newsletter, or the Library website.

Planning for the Future
The Library Board is committed to keeping Deerfield residents informed about,
and involved in, the future of the Library. Based upon feedback from the March
series of Public Open Houses and the telephone survey conducted in April, the
Library Board will select one of the four building improvement options presented
and ask the architects and financial consultant to develop it further. During the
next series of Public Open Houses, the selected option will be presented in more
detail and additional public feedback will be sought. Each event in the series
will follow the same agenda, offering residents a variety of convenient times to
attend. One-hour Open Houses will be held Saturday, June 26 at 3 p.m. and
Tuesday, June 29 at 7 p.m.
Results of March Public Open Houses
Five Public Open Houses were held in March to familiarize Deerfield residents
with the Library building history and needs, additional expressed needs of the
community, four possible building improvement options, and the costs projected
for each option—including possible effects on a resident’s real estate taxes.
About 42 members of the general public attended the sessions, and 30 completed
feedback forms. In addition, members of the Citizen Input Group assisted the
Board in evaluating the community feedback and provided their own perspectives
at a special Board meeting held April 24. Of the four options presented, 35%
preferred Option 3—Remodel and Expand, while 60% selected Option 4—Build a
New Library. The remaining 5% chose Option 1 or Option 2 which provide for
changes necessary to meet code, and limited other improvements.
The Library Board continues to receive valuable input from the Citizen Input Group.
Members are: Christine Barr, John Bartok, Cookie Center, Lorraine Clark, Lisa
Crist, Betsy Eisenhauer, Luisa Ellenbogen, Brooke Fogt, Mark Fox, Mike Gruenhut,
Laurie Leibowitz, Rick Lynn, Nancy O’Neill, Jean Reuther, Bob Rosenbacher, Judy
Smith, Amy Thale, Jane Weinstein-Jacobson and Bruce Zimmerman.
Results of Telephone Survey
The Library Board hired the Northern Illinois University (NIU) Public Opinion
Laboratory to conduct a telephone survey of 400 residents of Deerfield. Phone
numbers were chosen at random from those assigned to the Deerfield area—they
were not provided by the Library, nor did NIU have any access to the Library’s
patron database. The survey was developed by NIU with Libraiy input. Results
will appear on the Library's web site. The Library Board will use the findings,
combined with feedback from the Open Houses and other sources, to make a
decision about which building option to pursue, if any.
Updates on the surveys, reports, and Board actions are available at
http://www.deerfieldlibrary.org/deeifield/planning.asp.

�New improvements to Selection and Service
LINKin
You can now search and request an additional 1.8 million items from our
partner libraries in the LINKin network with your Deerfield Public Library
card. LINKin connects the library catalogs of Deerfield Public Library,
Arlington Heights Memorial Library, Cook Memorial Library, Gail Borden Public
Library, and Skokie Public Library. If an item is not available for checkout at
Deerfield Public Library and is available at one of the partner libraries, the
item will be sent to Deerfield Public Library within three or four days. Patrons
will be notified by phone or email when the item is ready for pickup.
On-Shelf Holds
Deerfield Public Library cardholders may now request “on-shelf’ items through
the Library’s online catalog. When a request is placed, Library staff will retrieve
the item from the shelf within 24 hours (excluding Sundays) and put it on the
new self-service holdshelf for the patron to pick up within 5 days. Due to their
high demand, the Library cannot pull DVDs, videos, or video games.
Self-Service Holdshelf
All holds (LINKin books coming from other libraries, on-shelf holds,
Interlibrary Loan items, and regular holds) are now kept on the self-service
holdshelf to the east of the Circulation desk, by the elevator. Items are arranged
alphabetically by patron last name. These books are not checked out to the
patron and still need to be brought to the Circulation desk for check out.
Enotification Contest
All Deerfield cardholders who have signed up for enotification by Saturday, June 19,
will be entered in a drawing for free Ravinia lawn passes. Enotification allows you to
receive notices about holds and overdue items via email rather than by phone. Visit
the Library’s online catalog and log in to your account, click on the “Modify Personal
Info” button and enter your email address. Need help? Stop by any service desk for
assistance.
Staff News
Reference Librarian John Kelsey retired in mid-April. He will certainly be missed
by patrons and staff alike! Madeline Solien, who started as a Library Science
Practicum student, has been hired as a Reference Librarian.

�Across the Librarian’s Desk
/ \ s I began to write my last newsletter column, 1 could not help but reflect over the past thirty/\ \ four years and remember all the issues—collection development, remodeling, money,
/__\ \ sendees, programs, puppet shows, computers, boilers, leaking roofs, long-range plans,
ji
j \ carpets, sewers, ballast resistors, 4th of July lemonade, stalled elevators, leaking pipes,
JL. A freon leaks, and electrical fires—that I have been involved with for all those years. A lot
of tasks not dissimilar from the myth of Sisyphus—working away at the big and little projects every
day for 34 years and realizing that the work is never actually finished but is always a work in progress.
A work we can always improve. It is important to remember that a library is a dynamic organization
and that if it remains static, it fails. An untended library is merely a room full of books, not a function
ing library7—and it will not be a busy place. There are always a hundred and one jobs, repairs, projects,
enhancements, and changes taking place. The Library currently needs more than a few fluffy chairs and
a coat of face paint. As I look forward to retirement in June, I realize that there is a lot more heavy
lumber that needs to get hauled.
The options for the future of the library are not infinite, nor can they be delayed to the time when the
memory of man runneth not to the contrary. They boil down to some simple choices: 1. Remain in this
building as is and replace or repair the infrastructure. This will cost more than several million dollars.
2. Add on to this building. 3. Build a new library on this site. The work of the consultants (space needs
studies, 1000 respondent resident survey, and a handful of other reports that were done in 2002, 2003,
and 2004) amply demonstrated the capital needs of this library, which remain valid today. The options
are not equal, nor do they all really support adequate library service, and my concern is several of them
are too costly for the miniscule return on the investment. Add to this mix District library concerns,
rapidly evolving computer products, the Internet, and you can see the Board of Trustees have a full
plate before them.
What is necessary for those of you who recognize the needs of the Library is to support this Board as
they move forward. Help them reorganize the Friends of the Library, build consensus and spread the
Library message to all the residents. Support for your library is what is needed most as we move to the
future. It is also very important to remember that, through the efforts of Treasurers like Tony Sabato and
Bill Seiden, this Library has always operated within a balanced budget and is the lowest-taxing entity in
the Village—open more hours and serving more residents than any other.
The failure of the Library referendum constrains a logical and normal growth path for the Library,
leaving limited options. The property to the north is no longer available. What will help the Library
most to succeed is community support, resident involvement, and constructive dialogue. It is important
to remember that nothing innovative was ever done without risk and that nothing worthwhile was ever
easy. There is a lot of tree felling and hauling yet to be done. I encourage all of you library users, who
know and use the library7 daily, to step up and help the new director and the Library Board—and I urge
you to be resolute. You know you need a library now more than ever and have told us clearly you want
it in exactly the same location. Services cannot be expanded, or even maintained at present levels,
without substantial capital improvement.
I end my 34 years in Deerfield June 30th. It has been a great run for me personally and professionally.
Libraries have changed more in the past thirty years than in the past three hundred years. Deerfield was
always at the cutting edge of those changes and developments. Personally, I have raised my family in
Deerfield and made many great lifetime friends. I have a lot of plans for the future—travel, volunteer
work, kayaks, motorcycles, and building projects. I am proud to have been Deerfield Library Director
number five and wish my successor, number six, all the best. The Library’s Deputy Director, Sally
Brickman is also retiring from full-time work. Sally has been my partner, the Library’s creative force,
and friend for over twenty years and it is a partnership I treasure. I will miss the Library and our resi
dents more than words can tell; people have always been the joy of my job. Thanks for the memories.

Across the
Librarian's Desk
r
irst of all, I would like to thank the
voters who supported the Library
referendum. They grasped that a new
library is needed in Deerfield and that it
would be an exciting resource for the whole
community, providing a wider range of
educational, cultural, and information ser
vices to everyone. Also, I would like to thank
Bill Darrow and the Friends of the Library
for their enthusiastic efforts on our behalf.
Secondly, I truly appreciate the thoughtful
endorsement of the Library referendum made
by the editorial staff of the Deerfield Review.
Diverse opinions as shown in the ballot box
are the foundation and the beauty of a
democracy. That’s why the Library chose to
go to the voters to determine if the desire to
expand the Library was reflected in the
community. After three years of planning, we
knew it was important to hear what all the
residents had to say. We had tried our best to
publicize our planning process: we had
articles in every issue of our Browsing
newsletter for the past three years and
numerous articles in the Deerfield Review,
plus our one-thousand-respondent citizen
survey and twelve focus groups. We held a
library open house and provided ample
settings for the community to ask questions.
The next step would have been to hire an
architect and a library consultant to design a
library and produce architectural plans. That
step would, by necessity, have been a very
expensive one. Before that was done, we
needed to know exactly what the residents
were willing to pay for.

25 Years of Cooperation Between the
Deerfield Schools and the Library!
Students’ lack of library know-how led Geri Spinella, (then a language arts teacher,
now assistant principal of Caruso Middle School), to consult with Jack Hicks, (then
a reference librarian, now library director) to begin a joint library instruction
program that has been running for 25 years. The program was designed to bring
students into the public library to learn how to use library resources. Jack Hicks
said, “Our goal was to widen students’ horizons for doing their assignments. We
have many resources that the schools do not have. As Deerfield Library was among
the first libraries in Illinois to
offer new information tech
nology, Geri was anxious for
students to learn new tech
nologies. Also, since we are
open evenings and weekends,
students can come in to use
library materials after school
hours...good value for
Deerfield taxpayers whose
children are in school!”
This program requires hours
of coordination between the
teacher and the librarian, scheduling times, selecting topics, and preparing many
resources. Once here the students also work with the Youth Services and
Circulation Departments. The Library welcomes this opportunity to show young
users what the public library has to offer, particularly online magazine databases
with full-text articles, available for printing or emailing. Also, the students are
pleased to find that, with their library cards, they can use home internet access to
reach the Library’s online databases.
This January and February eight Caruso Middle School classes came into the
Library twice for an hour each time to pursue their personal research projects.
Coordinators were Judy Hortin, Head of Reference, and Caruso language arts
teacher Leslie Gordon. Leslie, who has been with the program for 20 years, said,
“For many of our students, it is an eye opening experience to see how much they
can find in the Library on one topic.”
Both the Library and Caruso hope that this cooperative mission gives students a
skill that will serve them throughout their academic careers and beyond.

continued from page 1
Built in 1970, and not designed for technolo
gy, our building has reached the limits of its
structure. All available space has been used.
Starting in 1991 and ending in 1996, the
Library underwent renovations to maximize
the use of the space potential in the building
and bring it as close as possible to Americans
with Disabilities Act standards. Those
renovations were designed to give the Library ten to fifteen years
added lifespan. The goals of the remodeling have been reached but
can go no further.
Over the past three years, through surveys and resident input we
have heard clearly that our residents want the Library to remain
where it is in the center of town. We have also heard from residents
that they want more services, more meeting room space, more
programs, books and other materials. Currently, we must turn a
sympathetic but deaf ear to these requests.
The result of the vote leaves us with few immediate options other
than to redefine service within the present building. Library staff are
pursuing alternatives for the replacement of the roof membrane, air
handlers, and air conditioning condensers and compressors. These
repairs can mean expensive investment in an aging structure. The
vote also means the closing of the window of opportunity to pur
chase adjacent property for logical expansion. A number of civic
leaders have spoken about the importance of this quadrant remaining
the “governmental” quadrant, but that is now beyond Library control.
Some people have urged me to move heaven and earth to purchase
the apartment building to the north of the Library. Such a move
would break faith with the intentions of the taxpayers and is not one
I will initiate. Though loss of that land limits our future options,
frankly we do not have the resources to purchase that building—that
would take third-party intervention.
This is the first time in thirty-five years we have asked Deerfield
taxpayers to approve a referendum. The Library, in fact, has a
spotless record of operating within budget over those thirty-five
years. Much has been said about the size and cost of our proposed
library. In the past ten years, all over the United States, there has
been a renaissance of library building. At the same time more than
twenty-five libraries have been built in Chicagoland. We are very
familiar with all of this construction and the opportunities it has
brought to their communities.
These new libraries do indeed represent a point of departure over
libraries of the past. The communities that have built new libraries
have observed that in the age of Internet, the need for library service
has not diminished but has grown. Contemporary libraries are techni
cally and structurally complex buildings that are expensive. Add to
that the fact that structural steel and aluminum have risen in price
over 30% in the past year, and the cost of new libraries comes into
perspective.
We will continue to do what we have always done best: address the
needs of the community for the future and keep abreast of emerging
library trends in technology, programs, services, and materials. To
those ends the Board has been working with the Executive Service
Corps to begin work on a strategic plan that will address the future of
this building and user services, all based on progressive professional,
personal service. The Board is committed to providing vision and
leadership to ensure that the Library is not on a trajectory that could
see it fall behind libraries in neighboring communities.

Amy Simon
Book Fund
The Youth Services Department has
recently purchased three expensive
sets of books from the Amy Simon
Fund. The volumes are: Discovering
Cultures, Cultures of the World and
The Elements. Chris Kopeck, Head of
Youth Services, said “We would not
otherwise be able to purchase these
sets which will help children learn
more about and discover the world
around them”. The fund, established
in Amy’s memory in 1991, is targeted
to “expand our knowledge of the
world and its people”.

Voter Registration
Voters Turn Down Library
Advisory Referendum
The Deerfield Public Library had an advisory referendum on the November 2,2004
Deerfield ballot requesting “bonds in the amount of $25 million be issued for Library
purposes of the Village of Deerfield, in Lake County, Illinois for addition or
construction of a new library building of at least 80,000 sq. ft. including site acquisition,
parking, library materials and technology and related fixtures, furnishing, improvements
and costs”. The final vote tally was 31.43% in favor and 68.57% against.
The staff and board would like to thank all those who supported the library and most
particularly Deerfield resident Bill Darrow and his citizens’ group who worked so hard
to communicate the library’s message. We also greatly appreciated Amie Grahl,
Deerfield Review editor, who gave the library's referendum a wonderful endorsement in
the Pioneer Press on October 21. This was the first time in over 35 years that the library
had gone to the taxpayers for building funds, asking for community support to replace
the present library which has outgrown its 1971 building. More space and equipment
are required to respond to the needs and requests from the Deerfield community. The
library board will continue to plan future library service which the community wants
and deserves.

Deerfield Library from 10-2 Saturdays,

talk about the future of the Dee}field Library at
Gehry's California headquarters.
Summer, 2003
Public Opinion Laboratory of
Northern Illinois performs
survey which indicates that
residents want
1. the Library to stay in present
quadrant;
2. convenience: drive-up
access, lower shelves, wider
aisles;
3. an enlarged and diversified
Youth Services Department;
and
4. increased access to technology
and the Internet.
Winter, 2004
Library Planning Consultant
Anders Dahlgren completes two
studies, which determine
1. we need a building 50%
larger than our current one
just to efficiently house
current holdings and
services. (Current library,
built in 1969, housed 61,500
items; same space now hous
es 180,000 items.);
2. future space needs will
require an 86,000-squarefoot building.

conducts 12 focus groups to
gauge and confirm resident
needs.
Winter, 2004
Library newsletter informs the
community of the planning

vision.
May, 2004
Structural analysis of current
building and feasibility study
determine that enlarging present

very costly and would not solve
present space problems.
July, 2004
Administrative Librarian Jack
Hicks informs the board that
the Library’s present infrastruc
ture will soon require $2
million of repair.
August, 2004

FUTURE PLANS:
Engage a major architect,
hire a library consultant to

conduct a referendum. The
community will be included
and informed of all processes
to come.

BROWSING
at the DEERFIELD
PUBLIC LIBRARY
Summer 1988
Vol. 3, No. 2
920 Waukegan Rd.
Deerfield, IL 60015
Executive Librarian Retires This Summer
When Suzanne Whetstone, Ad
ministrative Librarian, came to Deerfield
Public Library 20 years ago, the library oc
cupied one half of what is now the City Hall
Annex, encompassing 3447 square feet and
containing 25,600 books.
Now planning to retire in early August,
she leaves a fully automated, active,
modem library of 32,000 square feet and
125,350 library items (books, records,
tapes, etc.) Circulation of 230,710 in 1987
is very high compared to the collection size.
She has supervised every detail of this
evolution.
“My first three years at Deerfield were
so hectic I didn’t think I'd survive,” she
chuckled. A building consultant had just
completed a survey of requirements for a
new library, and her task was to follow
through. She interviewed architects, helped
design the new library before there was
even a site, worked with the board and
community committee to pass the required
referendum and, with the board, planned
the exterior work, furniture and equipment.
It was also a “terrific undertaking” to weed
and build the collection as well as develop
ordering procedures. With a competent
staff, she revised the card catalog. The
reference department at that time consisted
solely of encyclopedias, and reference ser
vice as we know it today had not
commenced.
Mrs. Whetstone’s biggest thrill was
opening day at the new library, 920
Waukegan, on October 3, 1971. “People
couldn't believe it when we opened the
doors for the first time,” she said. “One of
my greatest joys was when one member of
the community who had opposed the
building, said it was the best thing that ever
happened to Deerfield.
As libraries nationwide evolved into
more than just books, so did Deerfield.
Records, interlibrary loan service,
reciprocal borrowing, prints, tapes, puzzles
and programs were offered. Development
of the collection was guided by the interests
of the community. In 1974, the library
pioneered by installing a computer in the
reference department for online informa
tion retrieval.
Heading toward automation, the long
*i
process of circulation and the catalog “go
ing online” began in 1980, in cooperation
with three other area libraries. The project
was a tremendous one requiring establish
ment of a computer center and staff (at
Skokie). Deerfield staff worked on many
new special projects, giving more than was
normally required in their jobs. “The staff
has always been good about pilch-ing in and
I must thank them all.” Circulation went
online a year ago. “That day was anticlimatic. We didn't know how the public
would take to it and worse than that the
computer was down until the last minute!
recalled Mrs. Whetstone.
Directing a public library is like running
a business, according to Mrs. Whetstone.
“Acting as technical adviser, solving pro
blems, hiring staff and enabling them to do
their jobs are not the basics you learn in
library school.”
Greeting visitors to Deerfield Public
Library has been another duty of the Ad
ministrative Librarian. While all sorts of
library patrons and a few unwanted
members of the animal world have visited,
the most prestigious guest in the past 20
years has been Nancy Reagan. At the
library for a panel discussion with members
of the Deerfield Citizens for Drug
Awareness, Mrs. Reagan caused a stir of
tv and news reporters and secret service
men. The intricacies of this event and play
ing hostess to the president’s wife were
among the highlights of Mrs. Whetstone’s
administration.
Mrs. Whetstone has particularly enjoyed
the family feeling that exists among the
staff. “It’s a fine staff and a close staff and
we’ve been through a lot of good and bad
together.” Working with an excellent
library board, she praises Thomas Parfitt
who has been president throughout most of
her Deerfield career. She has also enjoyed
working with other North Suburban library
administrators with whom she shared ideas
and problems. Active in the American
Library Association, and the North Subur
ban Library System's administrative library
board, Mrs. Whetstone feels she will pro
bably continue to be involved
with libraries and community service in the
coming years. She plans to move to South
1f
SUSAN WHETSTONE
Bend, Indiana.
A native of River Forest, IL, Mrs.
Whetstone received her Masters Degree in
Library Science from Rosary College. She
was Head of the Humanities Reference
Department at the University of Notre
Dame before coming to Deerfield.
‘ ‘As a whole, the community appreciates
the Deerfield Library. It is now time for
someone else with new and fresh ideas,”
said Mrs. Whetstone. A committee of the
Board is presently conducting a national
search for a new administrative librarian
and hopes to have one in place by fall.

�Library Rates High
In Citizen Survey
Results arc in! The community sees the
library in a positive light.
Last September, the Library Research
Center of the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign conducted a citizen
survey for Deerfield Public Library. They
questioned use of the library, frequency and
major purposes for use, services of the
library, and barriers to use.
Of those residents randomly selected to
answer the survey questionnaire, 46.1 % or
461 persons completed and returned the
questionnaire. An unusually high per cent:
93% of respondents had used Deerfield
Library in the past year. Reading for leisure
was indicated by 52.9% as the most impor
tant purpose for visiting the library. 18.4%
used the library for work needs, and 12.2%
for school needs. The remaining 16.5%
used for other purposes, i.e. audio/visual
materials, bringing children, etc.
The typical respondent visited the library
between 12 and 51 times per year and read
one book per month or less. Library users
gave the library a favorable overall rating
as indicated in the following exerpt from
survey results:
“In general, how would you rate the services (facilities, collections, programs,
assistance by staff, etc.) of the Deerfield
Public Library?
Above average
292/63.9%
Average........
131/28.7%
Below Average
. .10/2.2%
Don’t Know . .
. .24/5.3%
TOTAL..........
.457/100%
A list of individual services also re
ceived favorable ratings.
Examination of reasons for lack of use of
the library showed such personal barriers
as “lack of time” and “no need for library
services” to be most influential. Barriers
under the control of the library such as
parking, hours and location accounted for
only a small amount of lack of use.
An unusually high percent of respondents
who were library users were college
educated (90%) and nearly 40% had done
post graduate work. Respondents were
predominantly managers and professionals
(45.4%) or homemakers (24.9%).
A citizen survey is conducted every five
years to provide the library administrator,
board and staff with information about the
community that is needed to make informed
decisions about programs and services.
For Adults!
Devour A Book and Your Lunch Too
at Library Summer Book Reviews!
Virginia Carter, Deerfield resident, will present a series of book reviews with dramatiza
tions at the library, on Wednesday mornings, June 22, July 6 and July 20 at 11 a.m. Mrs.
Carter, active in many local organizations, has taught school and worked in community
theater.
For the informal book presentations, the library will provide a beverage, and those who
attend are welcome to bring a brown bag lunch. Mrs. Carter promises an exciting look and
some sound effects that will make three fascinating books of our time come alive. For those
who wish to borrow the books in advance, the library will have copies available. If young
mothers wish to escape into the world of fiction by attending the series, the Youth Services
Department will provide library activities from 11 a.m. to noon for preschool age children.
The books to be reviewed will be:
June 22: A Perfect Spy, another John LeCarre blockbuster novel by the author of The
Spy Who Came in From the Cold. This is much more than intriguing espionage. It entails
an entire lifetime of influences on a human personality. Magnus Pym is a shameful traitor,
but also a lovable, charming, admired diplomat, husband and father. He manages to betray
the British Intelligence community for three decades but at last they are on to him. What
will he do?
July 6: Prince of Tides, by Pat Conroy—A powerful novel of a southern family with
a beautiful, social climbing mother and a violent father. One son tells their story as he goes
to New York to seek help for his suicidal sister. A scintillating best seller, it is told with
insight, compassion and humor.
July 20: Cold Sassy Tree, by Olive Ann Burns was called “no less than brilliant" by
the Boston Globe. Cold Sassy, Georgia, never a whirlpool of excitement, takes a scandalous
turn when widower, E. Rucker Blakeslee, a well to do merchant, elopes with his milliner,
half his age and a Yankee! This is a delicious story told through the eyes of an adolescent boy.
Plan to attend the series by registering in advance at the library, 945-3311.
Book Not In Deerfield? We’ll Borrow
There are two North Suburban Library
System (NSLS) services the library pro
vides when a patron needs books,
periodical articles or some other materials
not owned by Deerfield Public Library.
One is interlibrary loan. With our GEAC
Computer Catalogs, there are two in
terlibrary loan options. If the needed
material is owned by one of the other three
libraries in our GEAC consortium (Skokie,
Waukegan, Morton Grove), we can order

Adult Programs
Review
Thanks to all Deerfield residents who at
tended the Adult library programs mid
November to mid April. A variety of 15
major programs were held and the atten
dance for most programs was favorable. A
total of 475 people attended, some of whom
were visiting the library for the first time.
The most popular programs were the art
lecture on the Courtauld Collection,
Choices for a Richer Life, and Dealing with
Difficult People. The “homemaking” pro
grams on preparing for company at holiday
time and home decorating were fourth and
fifth in popularity.
During the summer, adult programming
will be lighter. A late morning book review
series is featured (see article). An exciting
line-up is in the planning stages for fall:
look fora visit from a very popular and well
known Chicago mystery writer and a morn
ing Great Books course among others.
Programs are evaluated regularly, and
aimed at social, educational and recrea
tional community interests. For program
suggestions and cooperative programs with
other community organizations, contact
Sally Brickman at the library.

PUBLIC LIBRARY

Deerfield, IL 60015
Dec. 1987-Fcb. 1988
Vol.2 No. 3
COURTAULD ART PREVIEW IS DECEMBER 7
As a special holiday treat, the
Deerfield Public Library will
present a preview slide/lecture
showing of the Impressionist and
Post-Impressionist Masterpieces:
The Courtauld Collection. The
presentation will begin at 7:30
p.m. Monday, December 7 in the
Eleanore T. Dawe Room.
Through the eyes of the artists,
Lee Gibbs will present many
views of 19th century French
life with a humanistic as well as
artistic approach. The artists
specialized in animation and
flux, illuminating shadows,
heightening colors and catching
the moment. Their brushstrokes
became mist, sparkle, shimmer
and brightness.
The collection, one of the
world’s most outstanding, is on
special loan until Jan. 3 to the
Art Institute of Chicago, from
the University of London’s
Courtauld Institute. It contains
many of the most important
French paintings of the period
from 1870 to 1910. The 48
selected paintings on view
include best known and beloved
works by Manet, Degas, Monet,
Renoir, Cezanne, Seurat,
VanGogh, Gauguin, and
Toulouse Lautrec among many
others.
Lee Gibbs, guest lecturer, is a
world traveled lecturer and
photographer and contains an
enthusiasm for her subject that
has gained her a sple.ndid
reputation in the Chicago area.
This event is free and open to
the public, but reservations are
requested. To reserve space,
please notify the Circulation
Desk, 945-3311.
LIBRARY/SCHOOL COOPERATION
IS WINNING IDEA
Jack Hicks, Head of the
Reference Dept., Deerfield
Public Library, and Gerri
Spinella, Language Arts teacher
at Wilmot Junior High, District
109, co-present a program at this
years’ Midwest Federation of
Library Associations Convention
in Indianapolis. Their program,
Library Instruction for Junior
High Students, was selected as a
unique example of cooperation
between two diverse community
organizations.
For the past seven years
Deerfield Public Library and
Wilmot Jr. High have conducted
a joint research skills program.
What started out on a casual
basis has grown into a significant
learning experience for the 8th
Grade students from Wilmot Jr.
High. Librarians and teachers
alike are enthusiastic about the
success of the project, which in
the past year was nominated as a
“Winning Curriculum Idea” by
the National Association of
Professional Educators.
Students are instructed in the
use of library reference
materials, the research process,
and the compiling of
bibliographies. The goal of the
projects is to increase the
students’ library skills, assure
success instead of frustration
when the student confronts
research for the first time,
demystify the library, and make
the students feel that library
research is within their
capabilities.
�SAVE THIS ADULT
PROGRAM SCHEDULE
FOR THE NEW YEAR!
Mark calendars now for some
enlightening, free programs
scheduled for 1988 at Deerfield
Public Library. All programs
except Sunday begin at 7:30
p.m. and focus on YOU!
MONDAY, JANUARY 11 CHOICES FOR A RICHER
LIFE
“It’s great to have a genie to
press magic buttons, but it is
better to be your own genie;get
rid of the indecision, doubt and
fear. A richer life is a state of
mind’’ says Linda Fallucca,
Ph.D. Her 23 years as a
psychotherapist with intuitive
abilities will bring a unique
understanding to how we can
use our own intuition to make
posi tive* choices. We CAN
control our thoughts, attitudes,
actions and beliefs to choose a
richer life.
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20 “NIPS, TUCKS AND YOU”
If the January blahs lead you to
begin thinking about tummy
tucks, face lifts, or other ways to
look and feel better, Cosmetic
Surgeon Steven Bloch of
Highland Park Hospital will offer
some of the pros and cons at this
evening meeting. Come take a
peek at some before and after
photos, and consider the
possibilities. The doctor will
focus on how it all affects you.
SUNDAY, JANUARY 24
This is a special event that
launches our new year at the
library and promises to be a
pretty terrific afternoon for the
whole family. Information will
be available in January.
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2 LOOK MA! NO CAVITIES!
NO BRACES! NO SPACES!
Mark Cannon specializes in
dentristy for children (up to age

parents about “when to do
what” to prevent tooth decay,
bite problems, ear infections,
etc. Expense, agony and time in
the dental chair can be avoided.
A friendly dentist, whose private
practice is in Long Grove,
Cannon is associated with a
number of area hospitals
including Highland Park,
Children’s Memorial and Good
Shepherd. He will put animation
and important knowledge into
his presentation and offer
practical help that will make for
healthier growing up years.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 10 I THOUGHT MY TAXES WERE
GOING DOWN! WHAT CAN I
DO NOW?
Just named by Money Magazine
as one of America’s best tax
practitioners, Gary S. Hart, a
Deerfield resident, offers the
inside information on preparing
1987 tax returns and planning
for 1988. Hart, a CPA and
president of Gary Hart &
Associates, Ltd. in Chicago, will

deductions, what to do about
your IRA, structuring your loan
portfolio and avoiding tax
penalties.
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23 NEPAL ADVENTURE
Trekking season is almost upon
us and before guide Jim
Crosswhite leaves for Nepal he
visits Deerfield to take us on an
“armchair” ride to Nepal in the
Himalayas to trek the highest
mountain on Earth. Crosswhite
has trekked for months in Nepal,
rafted its rivers, and tracked
rhino on foot all within the
shadow of Mt. Everest. You’ll
view it all here in the library.
FROM THE EXECUTIVE
LIBRARIAN......
Noreen Curulewski had been
here almost twenty years as
Head of Circulation when she
retired in September to a new
home in California with her
husband Frank.
Always optimistic and cheerful,
she was liked by staff and
patrons alike. She was here when
I came. Together we experienced
a referendum, a building
program, a move, expansion, and
the introduction of automation - - and those are just the
highlights!
She inspired great loyalty on the
part of her staff, and always gave
one hundred percent of herself
to whatever needed to be done.
We wish her the best of
everything and hope that she’ll
keep us posted on what’s going
on in her new life.

WHAT DR. RUTH FORGOT
TO TELL YOU: THE FACTS
On Tuesday, December 1,
Highland Park Hospital
obstetrician-gynecologist Doctor
Michael Benson will give a talk
at the library on basic sex facts.
He will review fertility,
contraception, sexually
transmitted diseases, and sexual
behavior. Dr. Benson says that
most adults in the United States
do not know the fertile time in a
woman’s menstrual cycle.
Sexually transmitted diseases are
becoming epidemic and teen
pregnancy rate in this country is
the highest in the developed
world. Despite all of the media
exposure, there are still
misunderstandings. A question
and answer session follows his
presentation which is open to
the public and begins at 7:30
p.m.
�STAFF APPOINTMENTS
Pat Palmer has been promoted
to Circulation Supervisor. She is
a Deerfield resident, with five
children, who has been
Circulation Clerk at the library
for three years.
Sally Brickman has been
appointed Director of Public
Relations and Programming. She
will also assist at the Reference
Desk. A native Clevelander, she
holds a Master’s Degree in
Library Science from Case
Western Reserve University and
has worked as a librarian in
school, academic and public
libraries. For ten years she was
Editor/ Publicist at Case Western
Reserve University Libraries
specializing in library public
relations. An active member of
the American Library
Association, she was elected
chair of the executive committee
of the 2000 member Public
Relations Section and has led
many of its committees. Most
recently she was Public
Information Officer at the
Center for Research Libraries in
Chicago. She is particularly
proud of her two sons, ages 24
