Message from the Director
We are moving right along in our remodeling and
expansion plans. Currently, we are completing the design
approvals process through the Commissions and the Village Board.
We are also looking for a suitable temporary site during construction.
Here is our estimated calendar:
• September, 2011 — Begin creating construction documents
• January, 2012 — Go out for construction bids
• February, 2012 — Move into temporary site
• April, 2012 — Begin construction on remodeling and expansion
• Late fall 2013 — Return to 920 Waukegan
We appreciate the input and feedback we receive from residents along the way, whether through our public information
sessions, emails and comment cards, visits with our Board members at Farmers Markets or just in line at the grocery store!
In discussions about the building project, we are often asked how the Library is addressing the rapid increase in electronic
formats for books and movies. We already have e-books and e-audios available, along with a limited video selection.
Currently, e-book demand is surpassing our available copies. We will soon make more e-book copies of popular titles
available to our users, while still offering a wide selection of new and beloved print books. We are taking these changes into
account as we plan the new spaces for the Library, allowing MORE to be the dominant word—more books through the
combination of print and e-formats, more space to read in a comfortable chair, more room for individuals using laptops,
more private spaces for small group discussions, more space to spread out study materials.
Throughout the changes to come, we will continue to share our developing plans and progress with residents through our
website, print newsletter, Facebook, and other means. We hope you will follow along!

We’re Reading
Together, Again!
Our community-wide reading program, One
Book, One Zip Code, coincides with the 10th
anniversary of September 11,2001, an event
that drives the plot of this year’s selection,
“Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close,” by
Jonathan Safran Foer.
In the book, nine-year-old Oskar Schell embarks
on a secret mission to find the lock that matches
a mysterious key that belonged to his father,
who died in the World Trade Center on the
morning of September 11. This brings Oskar
into contact with survivors of all sorts on an
affecting, often funny, and ultimately healing
journey.
The 10-year anniversary played a big role in the
One Book, One Zip Code committee’s selection.
“One way we learn about the past is through
stories,” says David Hirsch, long time member
of the committee. “Fiction is a powerful vehicle
for us to explore our relationships with each
other and with events like 9/11. One of the most
wonderful things about reading this book at this
time is that it enhances both the experience
of reading and our understanding of the com
plexities of 9/11. We hope that this book adds a
significant layer to the commemoration of 9/11.”
Another way we hope to add a “significant
layer” to this important remembrance is
through our programming. On Sunday,
September 11, following the civic ceremony at
Deerfield Village Hall which starts at 1:30 p.m,
Rabbi Aaron Melman of Temple Beth Shalom
in Northbrook will speak about his personal
experiences as student chaplain of the New
York Fire Department on 9/11. At 6:30 p.m.
on Monday, September 12, at Deerfield High
School, David Hirsch will interview the author
via Skype! Plus, Whitehall of Deerfield will
give away two Nooks and Barnes & Noble
gift cards. Other One Book programs are
highlighted in this issue of BROWSING or at
onebookonezipcode.org.
Special cards for sharing thoughts of 9/11 will
be available at every event, at the Library, at
the Patty Turner Center, at the high school and
elsewhere. People can drop off their cards or
mail them to the Library, which will collect
the cards in a book that will be added to the
collection.
Please join us in reading together, again!

Wright, who played with the blocks

What’s Next? That is a P'
A
question I field many
times a day from
residents interested in
knowing how our construction plans are
coming along. Our design process is just
kicking off. The Library Board is seeking
input from a variety of sources to refine
the design concepts. In the near future,
we will also begin the Village Commissions
approval process. Consistent with our
commitment to keep residents informed
and involved, we are planning a community
meeting this spring to share the renderings
of the design to that stage. This would
include the interior, exterior, landscaping,
and energy plans. Please watch for
announcements of the date and time.
At
Although actual construction is still far
off, there are sounds of construction near
our Circulation department as we install a
RFID system for patron convenience and
improved accuracy. A new interior “window”
has been created. Library materials returned
through that window are automatically
checked in, reducing error and getting
materials back to the shelves more quickly.
We are also combining our Teen and Media
service desks into one unit at a more
convenient location for improved service.
Look for our new, welcoming Information
desk and hot beverage vending near the
Library entrance, and patron-oriented
checkout stations in Youth Services as
well as at the Circulation desk. (Thanks
to the Friends for purchasing the first of
three new stations!) We welcome resident
feedback to make these services even
better in the new construction.
Bottom line: We never stop seeking ways
to better serve our library patrons and
community.
Faster, More Accurate Service
with RFID and Self Check
As the Library plans for a large-scale renovation
project, we are making a series of service
improvements that will have immediate benefits
for our patrons before implementing them in a
reconfigured building.
We have recently put Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags in all of our
materials to increase the speed and accuracy of checking items in and out of
the Library. RFID will check in items instantaneously, with nearly 100%
accuracy. Items will automatically be sorted upon check-in and get back on the
shelves and into circulation more quickly.
RFID tags will also allow patrons to quickly and easily use new checkout
machines installed on the Library’s upper and lower levels. Self-check stations
help patrons get their selections out the door and home to eqjoy sooner. Staff
members will be available all hours of operation to assist patrons with these
new stations.
Patrons who require assistance with library card registration or questions about
their account will now be able to take their time working with a circulation
staff member away from busy checkout lanes. In addition, an Information desk
near the front gates will also help patrons get speedy responses to our most
frequently asked questions.
Implementing RFID at this time will also greatly improve the Library’s ability to
keep track of materials during an extensive renovation project. Read more
about the Library’s next steps in the Message from the Director.
Where’s One Book, One Zip Code?
Discussions and events tailored to the 2011 community-wide \
reading program selection, Extremely Loud and Incredibly
Close by Jonathan Safran Foer, will take place this fall to
bii© 8@©Ss
coincide with the 10-year anniversary of September 11, 2001.
This year’s remarkable selection introduces Oskar Schell, the
Zipcode
nine-year-old son of a man killed in the World Trade Center
attacks, as he searches the five boroughs of New York City for a
lock that fits a black key his father left behind.
The OBOZ Steering Committee is in the process of planning this year’s
supporting events, including a live, teleconferenced interview with the author.

community, please contact Karen Kleckner at (847) 580-8950.

�Coming Soon: Blu-ray
Thanks to a generous donation from the Friends of the Deerfield Public Library,
we are currently building a collection of Blu-ray films! The new format will be
available this spring.
Attention Local Histoiy Bull'-:
/e/<?PubVc
The Friends of the Deerfield Public
Libraiy are happy to report that through
the community’s support purchasing
books from the Used Book Sale and
annual memberships, we are able to
fund the following items in 2011: partial
funding for a New Early Childhood
Literacy Station in Youth Sendees, a
substantial collection of Blu-ray discs,
and a Self-Checkout Station.
The Friends want to thank the
community for their used book
donations. The Friends continue to
accept gently used hardback,
paperback, and children’s books, as well
as DVDs and CDs. Please bring
donations to the Circulation desk at the
Library7 during regular business hours.
Volunteers sort and shelve these
donations, and we ask households to
donate only two shopping bags or boxes
per week.
We continue to need the support from
the community with Annual
Memberships. A Friends’ membership is
$15 per year, but any amount is welcome.
Please make checks payable to the
Friends of the Deerfield Public Library,
920 Waukegan Rd., Deerfield, IL 60015.
The Board of the Friends next meeting
will be held on April 27, 7 p.m. at the
Deerfield Public Library. Community
members and potential new volunteers
are always welcome. Please contact the
Friends at (847) 945-3311, ext. 8895 or
at friends@deerfieldlibrary.org.
The Friends plan on selling used
cookbooks again this year at the 2011
Deerfield Farmers Market. Look for us
this summer!

Recently, the Libraiy acquired nearly 60 years’ worth of bound Deerfield Review
newspapers, dating back to 1945. Each volume includes original articles,
photographs, obituaries, and advertisements.
Coffee, Tea, and Quiet
A new hot beverage station on the Library’s upper level now offers a wider variety
of coffee options. Coffee will sell for 25$ per cup and cups of cappuccino, mocha,
or hot chocolate are only 50$ each. This unit replaces the carafes of coffee that
were available in the Fiction Room.
Moving the busy beverage station out of the Fiction Room will help reclaim that
space for patrons looking for a quiet place to study, read, or just relax. Readers’
Sendees staff still look fonvard to talking to patrons about books; they’ll just be
using their “library voices.” Please help us keep this space one where peace and
quiet are a priority.
Did You Know? TV Turnoff Week is April 18 - 24, 2011
The Youth Services department offers a variety of games, puzzles, and coloring
pages to make your visit to the Libraiy an enjoyable one. Of course, there are also
books, recorded books, and music to check out and keep you busy without turning
on the TV! Need a recommendation? Stop by the Youth Services department!
Did You Know? Print from Home
The Library offers remote printing from any computer with Internet access.
Simply click on “Remote Printing” on the Library’s home page and send your
document to one of our print/copy stations to retrieve when you come in. Black
and white printing is 10$ a page; 25$ for color.
For the first part of this ACT Prep program, students will take a fully-proctored
practice ACT test and will learn what to expect in a test-like environment. Students
will receive a comprehensive analysis of their performance on the test, detailing
individual strengths and weaknesses. Be sure to bring a calculator, two #2 pencils,

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.
Mary Pergander
Library Director

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

The Library Board is p- .
launching increased . A
efforts to inform and
seek feedback from
Deerfield residents about Library
needs and possibilities. During
Februaiy, the Board formed a citizen
input group of interested community
members. In March, the Board will
hold open house-style public
information sessions for all interested
Deerfield residents. For convenience,
the days and times will vary, but the
information will remain the same. The
intent is to share information about
the Library’s current building,
infrastructure problems, programming
and service limitations, future needs,
and funding alternatives. In exchange,
the Board will seek feedback from
community members to help the
Board consider and assess
alternatives.
In late spring, the Board will use
an independent firm to conduct a
scientifically-representative sample of
randomly chosen residents for a
telephone survey. The results will be
shared with the citizen input group
and others. In June and July, a second
round of public information sessions
will be held for all residents, to share
results of the survey and other inputs,
and to seek additional feedback.
Through these public-engagement
activities, by late summer, the Board
hopes to determine which alternative
may be the most attractive to
community members. The Board will
then decide how to proceed toward
that objective, and how the project
should be funded.
Library Board Hosts Open House Events
to Discuss Facility Options
Interested community members are invited to attend one or more of the Library
open houses scheduled for March. The open house will be an opportunity to learn
more about the facility issues and needs, options being studied, and financing
alternatives for building improvements. A formal presentation will take place at
the beginning of each session; then attendees may stay for the discussion and
tours. The Library Board is encouraging feedback from the community on the
various Library options. Visit the Library Web site for further information and to
register in advance. All sessions are at the Library.
Open House Dates and Times

Previously, all minors were restricted from borrowing movies or games unless a
parent signed a permission slip allowing them to do so. As before, parents assume
full responsibility for return, damage, fees, or fines for materials loaned, and hold
the Deerfield Public Library harmless from the loan of any materials. More
information and a downloadable copy of the Juvenile Video/DVD and Video Game
Permission Form are available on the Library’s Web site.

mechanized process to repair and clean DVDs, CDs, and
game discs), and general “straightening up” in the Library. If
you have a limited amount of time but want to make a big
difference, contact Jody Wilson atjwilson@deerfieldlibraiy.org for
more information.

Account” feature in the Library’s online catalog. To suspend a hold, check the
“freeze” box and click “update list”.

A recent study of
north suburban
libraries demon
strated that usage I—
is up at nearly all libraries. This
trend is repeated across the
United States. At Deerfield Public
Library, circulation this year is
running over 22% ahead of the
same period last year, and nearly
55% higher than the same period
two years ago! At this rate, we
expect to reach the level of
500,000 items checked out annually
within the next year or so. Many of
you have commented about the
increased level of activity in the
Library, and we are seeing
increased usage via our Web-based
services from home and other
places as well. We hope you feel
the same pride we do in the
popularity of your hometown
library.

Library Remodeling Update
On September 22, 2009, about 30 people attended an information session about the
Library’s recent space needs assessment and facility analysis. The questions posed,
and the Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees and architect responses are
available on our Web site. The Board appreciated the many thoughtful interactions
that took place, and invites others to comment as well.
Recently, the Board engaged Ehlers and Associates to help evaluate the Library’s
current financial status, expected cash flow for the future, possible future financial
needs, and possible sources of funds for the proposed project. The Board is taking
the current economic climate and other factors into consideration as part of the
planning process.
One Book, One Zip Code
The 2010 “One Book, One Zip Code” selection for adults
and high school students is Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi.
Satrapi’s award-winning memoir of growing up during
Iran’s Islamic Revolution is a graphic novel, laid out and
illustrated like a comic book. Her charming black and
white illustrations help the reader see the countiy’s
dramatic changes. The constant “but, why?” of childhood
is the perfect vehicle for exploring the world-changing
events of 1980s Iran.
This is the third year for the “One Book, One Zip Code” pro
gram. Previously, the communities of Bannockburn,
Deerfield, and Riverwoods came together to discuss
Mountains Beyond Mountains and Listening Is an Act ofLove.
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, films, and other interactive events related to the book. Learn
more at www.onebookonezipcode.org.
If your book group is interested in reading Persepolis, a trained book group leader
from the Deerfield Public Library can come to your group for free to lead the discussion.
Call Karen Kleckner at (847) 580-8950 for more details.
�Programs are free and open to the public. Please register in advance at

David Wolff
Deerfield Public
Library D'listee,
1989 to 2007
Photo by Barbara Struthers
The Library Board and staff were
saddened to learn of the passing of
one of the Library’s friends and
strongest supporters, David Wolff.
David Wolff served as a Deerfield
Public Library Trustee for 18 years.
He held the offices of President,
Secretary and Treasurer.
Current Library Board president
Ken Abosch said, “I think Dave’s
major accomplishment for the
Library was his extreme focus on
the physical side of the facility. He
was instrumental in monitoring
the well-being of the HVAC system,
the roof, elevators, and other
aspects of the building. He always
weighed in on any maintenance
contracts and/or remodeling work
efforts that had to be done, given
his practical knowledge of raw
materials and his knowledge of
contractor practices. As a result,
he also was very actively involved
in the remodeling of the Fiction
room, the Youth Services room,
and the First Floor.”
Dave will certainly be missed. His
cheerful laughter still rings
throughout the Libraiy.
Board Reports on Library Space Needs Study
As Chair of the Long Range Planning Committee, I am pleased to bring you up to date
on the recent architectural study of our current building and future space needs.
In late June, representatives of the architectural firm PSA-Dewberry presented the
Library Board with an assessment of the current building and suggestions for future
improvements. The study included “peer library benchmarking”—comparisons with
similar library facilities—as well as community focus groups, staff input, and a
thorough evaluation of the physical plant and its mechanical, electrical, and other
systems. While our building has been well maintained, it no longer meets code, and
community members continue to comment on its “tired” appearance. Most importantly,
the study revealed significant structural, space, and acoustical problems, as well as
serious parking concerns.
Responding to the Board’s request for need-based, cost-efficient ideas that could help
us improve our library, PSA-Dewberry’s report included recommendations to relocate
the entrance to the northwest corner of the building, expand the east and west portions
of the building by about 5,000 square feet each, reconfigure interior space to increase
flexibility and meet changing patron needs, and address parking concerns. The
architects estimate that such a project could cost $12 to $15 million. While it is
important to note that these recommendations do not constitute an actual plan, but
rather a sort of “you are here” needs assessment, we are excited to share them with
Deerfield residents and eager to solicit feedback on this report. We understand that
public input, as well as ongoing collaboration with the Village, Park District, and other
community leaders, is of critical importance in any improvement process we undertake.
With this in mind, the Board of Trustees will solicit your ideas and opinions at a public
forum to be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday, September 22. Because the library does not have

wish to attend, the forum will be held at the Patty Turner Senior Center, 375 Elm St.,
Deerfield. Please call Libraiy Director Mary Pergander at (847) 945-3311 for more
information. If you plan to attend this presentation and discussion, please register in

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.

As our former Circulation Manager, Rebecca’s strong technology and people
skills led to her role as project manager for our new automation system and

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 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!
