�From the Director
It’s safe to say that 2020 hasn’t been the
year that many of us expected when the
calendar flipped over on January 1. DPL is no
exception. As a source for information as well
as a community gathering place, the Library
has been actively doing our part to flatten the
curve of the spread of COVID-19. We closed
our building to the public on March 13, 2020
and will remain closed until we feel confident that we can safely
reopen the building. This was an incredibly busy day with 7,922
physical items checked out. We were so happy to see how much
the community values the services we provide and how people
wanted to stock up while staying at home.
However, while the physical building has been closed, the Library
staff have been diligently working to continue to meet the needs
of the community by providing new virtual services. Staff worked
quickly to establish lists of resources where people could find out
information about COVID-19, recommended reading lists using
our e-resources collection, digital storytimes and craft programs,
an online chat feature, and book discussion groups.
The Library staff are hard at work planning new and exciting
programs but at this point, we aren’t sure if these programs
will be in person or virtual. We will provide the most current
programming information in our e-newsletter, on the DPL
website, and on social media. If you are not yet subscribed
to our e-newsletter, I strongly encourage you to do so at
deerfieldlibrary.org/newsletters.
We miss seeing everyone in person in the Library! At the time of
this writing, the Library remains closed to the public and we are
planning a safe, phased reopening to the community. Until that
time, please continue to stay safe at home, and use our digital
library resources.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
Read Green, Live Green:
A Great Way to Celebrate our Earth
As we get ready to send this issue of Browsing to the printer, our Summer Reading
Program plans are still “under construction.” To support the health of our community,
instead of our traditional kick-off day, sign-up will all be done online. When plans are
complete, full details will be posted on our website. We will send out an e-blast to let
you know when we’re ready, so be sure to subscribe to the e-newsletter,
deerfieldlibrary.org/newsletters.

the program will receive a paperback book of their choice and
will be entered into drawings for a variety of prizes, including a
gift card to Deerfield Cyclery, a Visa gift card, or an iPad! Be sure

Couldn’t Have Done it Without You!
Many thanks to Whole Foods Deerfield for loaning the shopping cart for the lobby
collection for our March food drive. Thank you to our generous community for your
bountiful donations for the West Deerfield Township Food Pantry. Due to the closure of the
Library on March 13, we had to end the food drive ten days earlier than scheduled. The Food
Pantry is in great need of donations, either monetary or non-perishable items. Find more
information at westdeerfieldtownship.org.
We thank the Friends of the Deerfield Public Library for their continued generous support
of the Library. Find out how you can become a member of the Friends, and also upcoming
volunteer activities. Visit deerfieldlibrary.org/friends-of-the-library.
Census 2020:
You’re doing great Deerfield!
At the time we went to press, over 75% of Deerfield
households had responded to the Census online,
by phone, or by mail. Let’s take it to another level...
the 100% level! Have questions? We have answers
at deerfieldlibrary.org/census-2020-faq.

Browsing
Deerfield Public Library
Winter 2019-20 | deerfieldlibrary.org
Check Out a Museum Today!
Details on page 2
�From the Director
The end of 2019 marks the conclusion of
our current Strategic Plan. This plan came
out of months of work in 2016. I’m so
proud of all the work the Library staff has
done to meet the goals outlined in the
plan. By the time this edition of Browsing
is delivered, the new MakerSpace will
almost be completed and ready to open
to the public. The MakerSpace project came from our
Strategic Plan. We found out that our community was
interested in more technology and hands-on programs
here at the Library. By adding the MakerSpace, we are
able to offer these new experiences. Watch our website,
deerfieldlibrary.org/makerspace for updated information
about the Grand Opening for this new space.
In the upcoming year, the Library will continue to explore and
expand our efforts to provide the community with open access
to ideas and information in a welcoming environment. We
continually evaluate our programs and services.
It’s hard to believe that we are just a few months away from
entering a new decade, and one that comes with an extremely
important initiative: Census 2020. The Library will be working
to promote and provide information about the Census. Did you
know that this is the first time in history that you will be able to
fill out your Census form online? An important role for a public
library in the Census initiative is to provide a safe place for
people to fill out the online Census form. Watch our website for
more information about the 2020 Census.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director

Program, Adult programs, a BBC DVD collection, and youth discovery tables. Ms. Reich reported that the group
now has 70 members and is planning to build membership this year.
6.
VILLAGE LIAISON REPORT
Mr. Bill Seiden reviewed the activities of the Village meetings.
7.
LIBRARY DIRECTOR REPORT
The Library Director, Ms. Mary Pergander, provided the following information:
a. Highlights from Director's written report, including Preschool Fair, patron art donation offer, staff member
becoming Certified Genealogist, building issues
Our website had over 700 new visitors compared to the previous period. Tony Keaton has found a reliable,
inexpensive and permanent solution to the multiple issues of the front door locking mechanism. The solution
has been implemented and staff have expressed great appreciation that the issues are finally resolved. Two of
the three needed revisions to the Personnel Handbook have been completed and reported on elsewhere. The
development of proposed salary range changes has begun, using LACONI results. The audit preparations are
underway. We sprang a leak in the storage closet of meeting room C but caught it before damage was done.
Preventative measures were taken. (Mr. Abosch asked if anything can be installed to prevent the freezing of the
pipes. Ms. Pergander will follow-up on this.) One upper window in the Preschool pavilion mysteriously
cracked/shattered. The window was boarded up and a replacement has been ordered. Total meeting room set
ups for the month were 68. Additional assistance of about 6 hours per week is being explored. Six new groups
used the Library during the month, with 51 reservations total. The Center for Enriched Living is providing
volunteers twice a week to help dust the bookshelves. This is a vital service for us, and it is making a very
positive difference in our level of cleanliness, as well as providing valuable volunteer experience for the group.
Kary Henry coordinated our first Preschool Fair, to high acclaim by both the preschools and attendees. The
glowing reviews and a project summary were provided to the Board. Sayaka Suzuki and Judy Hoffman
represented the Library at the Lake Forest College job fair. We executed a Chamber e-blast for the small
business program, with registrations skyrocketing immediately afterward. We have contracted with a presenter
form Zingerman's to provide a half-day of customer service training for staff in late April. Support Services has
begun training staff members on serials functions, for cross-capabilities. The circulation in January was our
highest January ever recorded since we began in 2007. Similarly, there were 3,500 ebook downloads in the
month, compared to 2000 for the same month one year ago. Adult Services Librarian Anne Jamieson will be
pursuing Genealogy certification.
b.
Winter Wish List for Friends meeting - Update
A list of the Wish List items approved by the Friends was provided to the Board.
c.
Illinois Per Capita requirements for 2016-17
Ms. Pergander reviewed the 2015 Per Capita Grant requirements, with special focus on the Board's
responsibilities for the EDGE assessment discussions, since she will likely be gone before those take place.
Head of IT Tom Owen is completing the assessment, and can provide new leadership with the results, for

board discussion. This must be completed prior to September at the latest, so that the Grant application
reflects the completion of the requirement. Another requirement is the evaluation and fostering of
resource sharing options. Ms. Pergander recommends that the Board request that the management team
develop discussion points on this topic for the Board to evaluate and discuss.
Mr. Rivlin asked for clarification, recalling that last year he had reviewed the EDGE assessment materials for
the Board. Ms. Pergander clarified that last year we learned about assessment, now we must do it.
d. Progress report on salary schedule revisions based on LACONI 2014 survey
Ms. Pergander will bring proposed new schedules to the Board at the March meeting as planned, and will
discuss them first with Mr. Abosch.
e. Progress report on Policy review 2015 Ms. Pergander described the process to review all policies with the Board and update the complete manual
prior to her departure in May.
f. Plans regarding art purchases made possible by Friends' donation Since art-knowledgeable board members had given the green light previously, Ms. Pergander is proceeding
with a partial purchase of previously-selected art, using the money donated by the Friends.
g. Confirmation of date for honoring outgoing Board members Outgoing Board members will be honored at the April Board meeting.
h. Invitation to apply for Library Journal New Landmark Libraries Award
Upon further consideration, the Board and Ms. Pergander agreed that this award process is not feasible at
this time.
Mr. Rivlin asked about Library Journal Star Status. Ms. Pergander summarized that these are the libraries worthy
of exceptional recognition on a national level, based on four criteria used nationwide. She especially
appreciates advances such as increasing patron usage of computer services, which has moved us up in the
standings quite a bit compared to last year. There is a two to three year lag built into our reporting.
Mr. Rivlin suggested that Library might find ways to promote downloads with 4th of July Parade celebration and
library promotion.
Mr. Simon asked Ms. Pergander to confirm her final date, which will be Friday, May 29th.
8.
OLD BUSINESS
REVISED Prototype GIVE button for donations, and related donation
Ms. Pergander reviewed the changes made as requested at the last board meeting for the GIVE button,
which now says "GIVING" and is relocated in the DRAFT to the upper right of the Homepage. No content has
yet been developed, pending further approvals.
Report by Marla Dembitz on concerns expressed by Friends at recent meeting
i.
Ms. Dembitz reviewed a discussion held at the Friends' meeting regarding the Library's intention to
do passive fund raising. She explained that the Friends are concerned about causing confusion for
patrons, competition between the Library and the Friends group, tax accountability, and whether
such fund raising by the Library is too close to the recent tax referendum. She referenced the
Highland Park Library website use of a Library-based wish list as an example of the Friends'
concerns. Ms. Reich asked about the joint fund raising committee, where the Library and the
Friends could collaborate. She said the Friends may now be willing to allow usage of or support
grant opportunities which require the need of a 501(c) 3 status, which the Friends obtained several
years ago. Ms. Pergander expressed delight that the Friends may now be able to support the
Library's grant requests in this manner.
Page 3 of 6
�Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees
Regular Meeting Minutes
February 18, 2015
The board members discussed these points, explained that they feel the Board has a responsibility
to provide an avenue for different types of donations, such as bequests, and emphasized that no
competition is intended.
Ms. Pergander clarified that the website GIVING button would not link to specific wish list requests,
as it does for the Highland Park Library, but would lead to many avenues of engagement, including
giving to the Friends, honoring others with donations for books, making bequests, etc.
Ms. Reich state that she appreciated the clarification and that there had been a misunderstanding of
the Library's intentions.
ii.
Artwork donation
The Board members discussed the artwork recently offered to the Library by a private donor. The
discussion included size and whether the piece could be interpreted as having a religious message in
a public space. Members debated whether the artistic style fit the Library's image. After some
discussion, members advised the Director to decline the offered donation of artwork.
b.
Instructions to staff to reinstitute Library Trustee fee waiving and policy change
Ms. Pergander announced that the process has been reinstituted.
c.
Update - Personnel Handbook revision
Ms. Pergander reviewed the revisions, which included new wording about providing references, and
guidance regarding distracted driving. These are two of the three items the board asked to see revised.
MOTION: Mr. Michael Goldberg made a motion to approve the revisions, seconded by Ms. Dembitz.
Vote: 7 yes - Ken Abosch, Marla Bark Dembitz, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman,
and Ron Simon. The motion was approved.
d.
Next steps for recruiting new Library Director: Recommendation regarding recruiter and approval of
contract amount
Mr. Abosch reviewed the activities of the Search Committee which had recommended hiring Ms. Lynn as the
recruiter, for a contract fee of $14,000 plus expenses. He reported that this recommendation was approved
in a Special Board Meeting resolution. The Search Committee requested the authority to define the criteria
to be used in the selection process, authorize the placement of ads, and the screening of candidates. He
described the planned process going forward, which would end in a final six reviewed by the committee and
two or three finalists coming before the full board. Mr. Goldberg suggested that the whole board look at
the final six candidates. Mr. Abosch said he was fine with that change of plan, or any Board member can
attend and participate in the Search Committee activities. The final decision can be made when the process
gets closer to that point. Mr. Schriftman noted that after the election there may be a shift of perspective
among board members.
e.
Information about League of Women Voters candidate event March 15
Ms. Pergander announced that Sunday, March 15th, the League will provide an opportunity for contested
non-write-in seats to engage in a public question answering session, for both the Library and the Village
Trustee candidates. She noted that the League has said write-in candidates will not be included in the
session, although they may be introduced.
f.
Follow-up regarding automatic interior doors, survey results, quotes, and possible approval
Ms. Pergander reported her findings regarding public buildings with automatic doors. The board discussed
the cost and how many doors might need the assistance of automation. Mr. Goldberg suggested the doors
Page 4 of 6
�Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees
Regular Meeting Minutes

should be retrofitted. Mr. Abosch suggested that the Library should be professionally reviewed for this and
other ADA issues. Mr. Simon suggested that the tension on the doors might be changed. Ms. Pergander
said she would ask Dewberry about finding an ADA certified professional and determine what it costs to hire
the expert and will also call five local libraries to discover if they use any assisted-open or automatic doors
for internal spaces.
9.
g.
Update - Replacement of main electrical switch and possible insurance claim
Ms. Pergander reported that the case is being reviewed by our insurance carrier as a possible covered claim.
With seven weeks of lead time for parts, Ms. Pergander wants to move forward as soon as possible so that
the two closure dates will be in the next newsletter and the project will be completed prior to her leaving
May 29.
h.
Update - Youth Services tablets for children
As requested by the Board two months ago, Ms. Pergander provided the requested 60 day update, and
reviewed the process for checking the Nabi and iPad tablets in and out. She said that the Head of Youth
doesn't recommend any changes because parents sign them out and these tablets are not appealing to
older kids who want to also use the Internet. The Internet is not available on these tablets; they are
restricted to child-oriented materials.
NEW BUSINESS
a. Proposed dates for Trustees at Farmers Market
Ms. Pergander said that two dates are available in August: August 1 and 8. She also asked about the Board's
preference regarding the second set of choices: September or October. Mr. Schriftman said he would like to
participate and recommended September. All agreed.
b.
Proposal to combine lower level service desks and create seating area using existing furnishings
Ms. Pergander reviewed the suggested plan, which includes moving computer lines, phone lines, and she
also reviewed the benefits to patrons, including unified service location and an additional seating are to be
created where the second desk used to stand. The Board affirmed its approval of the project.
MOTION: Mr. Michael Goldberg made a motion to approve the plan to combine the lower level service desks
and provide an additional seating area, seconded by Mr. Seth Schriftman.
Vote: 7 yes - Ken Abosch, Marla Bark Dembitz, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman,
and Ron Simon. The motion was approved.
c.
Recommendation to purchase disc cleaner
Mr. Simon noted that the purchase is included in the current budget.
MOTION: Mr. Michael Goldberg made a motion to approve purchase of the proposed disc cleaner (not to
exceed $15,000), seconded by Mr. Seth Schriftman.
Vote: 7 yes - Ken Abosch, Marla Bark Dembitz, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman,
and Ron Simon. The motion was approved.
10. EXECUTIVE SESSION - The Board may go into Executive Session (closed to the public) to discuss personnel, legal,
real estate and other matters as allowed by Illinois law.

Story on page 2
�From the Director
In past columns, I’ve alluded to the
planned renovation of our Media area.
As this newsletter goes to press, we are
about ready to begin construction of
our new MakerSpace, a collaborative
workspace. First, the shelves will be
rotated, and the Media desk will be
moved. Later in August, we anticipate
full construction to begin, which should last approximately
4-6 weeks. Watch our social media channels and website
(deerfieldlibrary.org/makerspace) for information about
the opening of the new space.
The Library is committed to meeting the needs of our
community. We undertook this project as part of the Library’s
current Strategic Plan. From our research and planning in 2016,
we knew there was an interest in increased STEAM-related
offerings. The STEAM acronym stands for Science, Technology,
Engineering, Art, and Math. Since 2017, we have continued to
add new STEAM programs. These have included our popular
3D printing programs, as well as Tech Drop-ins, that provide
a casual opportunity to see new technologies in action.
We have also added non-traditional items, like our Discovery
Kits, to the library’s collection. The Discovery Kits focus on
STEAM and other creative concepts with hands-on making.
A kit is a curated collection of items available around a theme.
The new MakerSpace is going to house STEAM-related equipment and provide additional table seating for people to use all
hours the Library is open. When the construction is completed,
we will have a new, larger service desk across from the book
return, which will serve Media and additional patron needs.
There is more to share! Turn to page 11 for a rendering of the
new space, as well as a list of some of the equipment that we
will have available.

Local History at Your Fingertips
Do you like your Deerfield High School yearbook picture?

the top spot. Print editions are in the lower level reference area.

Deerfield Public Library
Summer 2019 | deerfieldlibrary.org
Summer Reading Program Kick-off Day
Saturday, June 8 • 9am-5pm
Details: Adults (p.3), Teens (p.7), Children (p.8)
�From the Director
Over the past editions of Browsing, I’ve
written about the fulfillment of the
Library’s current Strategic Plan, which
has been in place since 2017. We have
accomplished a number of the things
outlined in the plan, such as increasing
our program offerings, and adding more
copies of popular materials.
The final component to this plan is to reexamine our space to
create more seating, as well as introducing more technology
for the community with a new collaborative workspace.
At the March 2019 Board meeting, the Board hired a local
construction management firm, W.B. Olson, to manage
this project. Over the summer months, we will finalize the
documents and timeline the construction process. In the lead
up to the start of the construction, you’ll notice that some
things in the media section may be shifted. We anticipate
the start of construction will be later in the summer, and we
expect it to last approximately six weeks.
Automatic renewals are here!
Yes, it’s true. If your
checked out items are
eligible for renewal, it will
happen automatically,
up to two times! This
new service offered
by DPL provides the
convenience of enjoying
materials for a longer
period of time with less
worry about returning
them on time or
remembering to request
a renewal. Your to-do list
just got a little shorter!
The collaborative workspace is a multifunctional space
designed to help the Deerfield community learn, create,
collaborate, and have fun with technology. We will provide
everyone with equal access to materials and resources that
encourage learning in a welcoming environment. We will
be moving our very popular 3D printer into the new space,
and additional items under review for purchase are a laser
engraver, 3D scanner, and STEAM kits.
The workspace will include AV equipment such as a sound
booth, microphones, and a camera. We plan to have creative
crafting equipment, such as a sewing and embroidery
machine available for use. Finally, we’ll move our Digital
Media Lab from the basement so that all our patron-use
equipment is located in one space.
Watch our website and social media channels for more
information on this exciting new addition to DPL.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
How does it work?
• Two days before the due date, eligible items will
automatically renew for the full renewal period.
• What’s not eligible? Any item on hold for another
patron, Lucky Duck books, new videos, and items
acquired through interlibrary loan.
• Digital items (e-books, e-audiobooks, streaming
movies and music) are not affected.
How will I be notified?
• Patrons who have an e-mail address in their account
will get a courtesy notice letting them know which
items were not automatically renewed, and which
items now have a new due date.
• Patrons who receive text message notices will receive
a courtesy notice listing the items that were not
renewed.
How can I sign up for a courtesy notice?
• To sign up for email notification: ask in person at the
library, by phone, or update your patron account on
the Library website: deerfieldlibrary.org, Click on
“My Account” on top right side.
Reminder: You can check on your due dates anytime using the “My Account” link on our website.

Story on page 2
60 YEAR REFLECTION
�From the Director
We are in year three of our Strategic Plan,
developed in 2016 after months of work.
We surveyed Library patrons to gather their
feedback about what they want in their Library.
The staff and board are proud of the work that
has been accomplished. We have increased unique types of items
in the collection, added a self-checkout station for ease, adjusted
check out periods and added new spaces for our youngest patrons
in the Youth Services Department
In response to the enhanced emphasis in education for science
and math, the Library has responded with an increase in
technology programs. Some of our most popular programs have
been rooted in the maker technology. The maker movement is a
technology-based extension of DIY culture that intersects with
computer culture. This focus has coincided with our interest in
repurposing some of our space.
In 2018, the staff and board began working with Product Architecture
& Design, a firm that specializes in creating flexible library spaces.
We evaluated various options for reconfiguring our physical collection,
and have decided to repurpose the space that houses our DVD and
CD collection. We anticipate that we will see this transformation to
begin in the summer of 2019. We will be moving the Media Desk
from a somewhat hidden position to a more accessible location. This
new collaborative workspace will provide our community innovative
access to technology. We are excited to invigorate the space, and will
provide further details as plans develop.
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
Deerfield 1959: New Insights
At the end of 2018, the Libraiy launched a new website, The Fight to Integrate Deerfield: 60 Year Reflection (deerfieldlibrarj.org/FID).
The website documents an important and complex time in the history of Deerfield and the United States. With the website, the Library
is presenting an array of special programs and exhibits to illuminate our community’s stoiy.
This is not a new story. There were community programs on the 1959 integration crisis for the 40- and 50-year anniversaries, and it has
been part of the Deerfield schools’ curriculum for years. This 60-year reflection was inspired by receipt of new historical documents for
our archives, new revelations, and several recent and forthcoming books and projects that feature Deerfield’s integration case.
Website
The new website includes online exhibits,
interviews, discussion guides, booklists,
a timeline of events, and our historical
archives. This will serve as the online
home for our resources for years to come
so that, beyond our program series,
future generations will have access to the
materials.
Historical Archives
The preservation of our physical archives
has been an important component of our
60 year reflection project. Standout items
in the newly digitized history collection
include newspaper articles quoting
Eleanor Roosevelt and Martin Luther
King Jr., anti-integration editorials, and
items related to the formation of the pro
integration Deerfield Citizens for Human
Rights.
Exhibits
2
Temporary exhibits will feature original
primary source materials including
propaganda, protest handouts, newspaper
articles, and rare photographs on loan
from the Art Shay Archives. Exhibits
will be on display in several locations
throughout the Library for the duration
of the program series.
for the Library’s permanent collection.
The photos represent a documentary and
artistic record of the fight over integrated
housing in Deerfield.
Art Shay Photographs
Share Your Story
A generous donation from the Friends of
the Deerfield Public Libraiy has made
possible the purchase of two photographs
by longtime Deerfield resident and
world-renowned photographer, Art Shay,
We are interested in personal stories,
memories, contemporary reflections, and
physical documents related to the fight to
integrate Deerfield. If interested, email

YES!

�This newsletter’s focus is on the non-traditional items
that DPL has to offer. It’s an interesting idea. What is a
“non-traditional” item? According to my dad, a DVD is
something that he considers non-traditional. My dad is a
voracious reader and library user, and he uses his public
library for books.
As I reflect on my almost 20 year career as a librarian,
I remember when computers were considered nontraditional. Computers! Something so ubiquitous today
was quite the big deal when I began my career. The first
public library I worked at after library school had a
shelving range dedicated to regional Illinois phone books.
Speaking from personal experience, those were a hard
thing to shelve! We also had CD-ROMs instead of online
databases and a vertical file. A vertical file was a filing
cabinet that had folders of “current” information, as
well as things like maps. In my tenure at that library,
we got rid of the phone books and the vertical file to
add more, you guessed it, public access computers.
Public libraries have been adept at evolving and
changing to meet the needs of their individual
communities. Deerfield is no exception. In the past
year, our collection of non-traditional items has grown
considerably. As a public library, we are about meeting
our patrons’ information needs in a variety of formats.
We have learned that this can be in the form of a
Roku or a telescope or even a board game.
Check one out today!
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
Take home a telescope (and more)!
Once upon a time... long, long ago (ok, maybe just 20 years ago), most public libraries
had only print items for check-out, plus small collections of audio and video materials.
Fast-forward to 2018, and the DPL collection has creatively expanded to provide an
enhanced experience for our community.
Siona and Eva Rajshekhar (1-r, cover) are two of the Library’s most enthusiastic
users of “non-traditional” library materials. These Wilmot students have found that
their experience with DPL’s Discoveiy Kits stimulated an interest in STEAM (Science,
Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) activities. They have continued working
in these subject areas both at camp and school. Their interest in architecture and
engineering resulted in the cool wood structure on the cover, built with DPL’s KE\A kit.
Siona and Eva report that the structure represents the future headquarters for their
business, still in the planning stages, for “spy missions or dog walking, or both!”

DEERFIELD
fj| Please register in advance at the Library, by phone at 847-945-3311 or
at deerfieldlibraryorg. Registration opens Wednesday, November 14.
In 1959, residents of Deerfield learned a housing developer planned to sell homes in the village to
black buyers as well as white buyers. Many residents opposed integration and sought to halt the
development. A smaller group, the Deerfield Citizens for Human Rights, formed in support of the
development. In the weeks that followed, Deerfield residents passed a park referendum designed to
condemn the developer’s land. The crisis in Deerfield became a national story, attracting the attention
of Martin Luther King Jr., James Baldwin, and Eleanor Roosevelt. After years of demonstrations and
legal battles, the land became parks that stand today.
Continuing a community tradition, the Library is inviting residents, historians, and experts to offer
new insights into this history. We have updated and digitized our archives, made new acquisitions and
discoveries. The Library is also partnering with Deerfield schools to enhance existing curriculum. We invite
you tojoin us for a series of discussions, lectures, exhibits and other opportunities to reflect on the 60 years
since the fight to integrate Deerfield began. Programs and exhibits run from January 21-May 2,2019.

Back to School!
5 Fab E- resources
for Youth & Teens
(details on page 2)
�After the lazy days of summer and the smells of
environmentally safe sunscreen, it’s time to get back
to school. I have always ei\joyed shopping for the start
of school-picking out folders and new crayons. DPL
is a great resource for your students to help them
with their homework all year long!
I’m sure I’ve mentioned before that I grew up
appreciating libraries, learning, and books. I
remember heading to our local library so that I could
use a variety of resources, like encyclopedias,
biographies, and almanacs, to work on school reports.
I also remember taking my whole Saturday morning
to do this research, with my parents dropping me at
the library and then going through all those
resources! How much more convenient it would have
been for me, and honestly my parents, if we were able
to simply use an e-resource?
We offer a variety of online resources that supplement
our print collection. All these resources are available
with your DPL card. If it has been a while since
you’ve updated your card, stop by the library during
the 69 hours we’re open each week and the staff will
be happy to take care of that. After that, the
resources are yours to use!
Amy Falasz-Peterson, Library Director
DPL is your online Answer Place!
School has started, which means the homework projects are lining up. We can help with that! While we love to see you in-person,
you don’t need to come to the library to take advantage of the online resources we offer for researching a topic for a paper,
homework help, connecting with a tutor, or learning a new language.
Here is an introduction to a few of our dynamic online resources. You can find these, and many more, on the Library website at
deerfieldlibrary.org/online-resources.
HQ Research Projects
No more heavy (book) lifting
required when researching for a paper,
preparing for a classroom discussion, or
lining up resources for the debate team.
Encyclopedia Britan nica online
gives you three sites in one: Children;
Young Adults; and the Reference Center
for older students and adults. Choose the
level that works best for your research.
This is a great resource for exploring
the rich and varied history of the United
States through speeches, historical
accounts, memoirs, poems, images,
and multimedia,
ScholasticGo: Eveiy topic search
provides results at four different reading
levels. This easy-to-navigate resource
includes more than 80,000 vetted
websites, topographical, historical, and
current interactive maps, videos, and
multiple dictionaries. ScholasticGo was
developed to help students strengthen
content knowledge, vocabulary, and core
proficiency skills.
2
Facts on File/Issues &
Controversies: Contains more than
800 articles on current events issues
written for students, including pro/con
articles, debate videos, guidance on
evaluating online sources, and more.
Ib ensure objective coverage and a
wide range of competing viewpoints, the
editors rely on hundreds of leading print
and electronic news sources from the
United States and around the world.
Homework Help
Everyone has a different
learning style, and you’ll be sure to find
the right fit with this resource.
Brainfuse HelpNow: Come here
for help from real, live tutors online!
Assistance is available for math, science,
social studies or English. Tutors are
available for Kindergarten - 12th grade,
college introduction level students, and
adult learners, seven days a week from
2:00-9:00 pan. CT. You can also take
advantage of the Writing Lab for online
writing assistance, and skills testing.
jj|[] Learn a Language
v
Learning a foreign language
contributes to cognitive development and
also offers an advantage in the future of
our global marketplace.
Mango Languages: You’ll eqjoy this
interactive platform to learn one or more
of over 50 languages including Hindi,
Mandarin Chinese, Russian, and Urdu.
ESL courses are available in 17 native
languages.
Little Pim: This program is specifically
designed to teach kids foreign languages
at the age they learn best: birth to age
6. Languages offered include Arabic,
French, German, Hebrew, Italian,
Japanese, Russian, and Spanish. English
is also available for Spanish speakers.
It won’t take long to learn how to
make the most of the Library’s online
resources. If you need help, just ask a
DPL Librarian!

�We thought it would be interesting to share some
statistical highlights of 2017. Following the trend for
public libraries nationwide, there is a very small
decline in our total circulation. We know that our print
collection remains popular, and our e-resources
circulation continue to grow.
What I find to be most interesting is the number of
people who still choose to come to DPL. Libraries are
the one public institution that serve people of every
age. Every day, we see people who are here enjoying a
magazine or using one of the study rooms as their
office. There are plenty of students who come to do
homework, and loads of kids enjoying the vibrant Youth
Services space. We’ve taken notice, and continue to
offer more resources and programs as our budget allows.
DPL, more than books!

specifically designed for young children to use as they develop
their language skills.
The libraiy’s e-resources (deerfieldlibrary.org/onlineresources) also support language learners. Britannica
Online features an embedded language translator, and
materials in other languages can be accessed through Hoopla.
Let us know what you think! It will be exciting to watch the
collection evolve as community members let their ideas,
interests, and languages be known.
