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

Mr. Simon said that Ms. Elaine Haney had sent her apologies that she could not attend this evening. No report
was available.
Ms. Maureen Wener asked if a process was available to pay donations online to the Friends. Ms. Pergander

Ms. Wener to consider acting as one of the Board liaisons.
Mr. Abosch explained that the Friends of Deerfield Public Library is a separate legal entity and a 501-3C non
profit. The revenues for the Friends and the Library cannot be comingled.

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

d. Server room HVAC issues
We have had very serious humidity issues in the Library and the server room, with humidity reaching over
80%. The Engineer who designed the system has been contacted and is checking the entire system design
e.
f.
g-
for areas needing attention.
Social media and staff Intranet update
There is significantly increased activity on our social media reach and engagement in just the past few weeks
after the arrival of our new Digital Media Coordinator. We are adding one security camera to the Media area
while evaluating other future additions. Tom Owen conducted a staff survey about proposed Intranet
improvements, and he is targeting the top requests by staff for the first rounds of improvements.
Update - Zingerman's customer service training half-day for staff
Ms. Pergander reviewed the nine-month history of the move to incorporate Zingerman's principles, initially
introduced by Ellen Kaiser. In April, the Library staff attended a half day session led by a Zingerman's trainer.
It was very well received by staff.
Update - GIVING button for donations, and related donation information
The proposed GIVING button has been implemented, and the button leads to a page offering the
opportunity to donate to the Friends or the Library.
Mr. Abosch asked about the uses of surveillance cameras in the Library where thefts have occurred, how they
will help when patrons can move materials anywhere in the Library, and whether there would be signage. Ms.
Pergander confirmed that signage is already posted. There was some discussion regarding other actions the
Library might take to address the loss of materials, including checking Amazon for the sale of similar items but
with missing cases, moving the collections, and increasing supervision in the areas of theft.

OLD BUSINESS

reconsideration of all closed minutes is required every six months and that action must be taken only in
open session. Ms. Pergander said that the closed minutes are retained on tape, as well as in written form.
Mr. Howard Handler asked how old the closed minutes are. It was explained that some are from the mid2000's. Those that have to do with particularly sensitive personnel or lawsuit issues have been kept closed.
Mr. Simon reviewed the advice given by legal counsel, and noted that closed minutes can be opened in the
future if the Board members choose to take that action.

closed meeting session, seconded by Mr. Schriftman

This item was covered under the Director's Report.
Farmer's Market dates (Aug. 1, Sept. 26) and assignments for Board members
Mr. Simon reviewed what usually occurs at the Village of Deerfield Farmers' Market. He said that the
primary purpose is to see the public, answer questions, and to collect input and suggestions. He explained
that staff set up the table and materials, and Board members usually man the booth between 9:00 a.m. to
noon. There are typically two Board members for each date, although more members are welcomed.
Ms. Pergander noted that staff covers two other Farmers' Market dates and representatives from the
Friends group are present on other dates too.

Mr. Simon explained the director search process and thanked Mr. Abosch for his leadership on the search
committee.
Mr. Abosch reviewed the offer letter provided and said that it had been accepted. He then reviewed some
of the experience that Ms. Amy Falasz-Peterson has as a Director, including a referendum and a
collaborative building project.
Ms. Wener asked why Ms. Falasz-Peterson is changing jobs. Mr. Abosch explained that, although she really
enjoys her current position, she is originally from this area; also there is a higher usage of the library in
Deerfield and there are other challenges and opportunities here. Mr. Simon added that Ms. FalaszPeterson was not looking for a new position when the consultant contacted her.
Mr. Abosch reviewed the basic structure of offer, including the annual salary and wage per pay period,
establishing goals, the performance-based bonus target and maximum, the Board's performance review,
and a signing bonus that can be used to assist with relocation expenses and previously established vacation
plans. He stated that other aspects of the offer are all in accordance with the Library's established
employment practices and personnel policies.

package as presented by Mr. Abosch, seconded by Mr. Schriftman

Scheduling of Board Orientation Session - Financials

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

Department, at a cost not to exceed $4,000. Mr. Schriftman provided a second to the motion.

Maureen Wener. The motion was approved.
h.
Update from Memorials Committee
Mr. Simon asked that this item be added to the next Board meeting's agenda. He reviewed the mission of
committee, and the need for an improved and formal policy, noting that a case-by-case basis is not
sufficient.
Processes were discussed, including how research is conducted, the involvement of staff, and the Board's
engagement. Mr. Simon said he would like to have a committee meeting scheduled with all Board
members invited.
i.
REMINDER - Art Festival Preview Party, May 29, 6 to 8 pm, Village Hall
Ms. Pergander reviewed the Art Festival Preview Party, explaining that it is an opportunity to network with
the other Village movers and shakers. Mr. Abosch noted that spouses can be included but that attendance
does require an RSVP.
11. OTHER DISCUSSION ITEMS
a.
Mr. Schriftman asked about the protocol for Board member email addresses, noting that one member has
an email address at deerfieldlibrary.org. Mr. Handler said that using this email address will help to avoid
FOIA request complications, but Ms. Pergander explained that a FOIA request could be placed for all Board
member emails regardless of the email address. Ms. Wener said providing board email addresses
@deerfieldlibrary.org seems like a good idea and it was suggested that the idea be placed on next
meeting's agenda.
b.
Mr. Abosch inquired how closed session minutes can be approved without releasing them. Ms. Pergander
said that the minute dates can be placed on the next agenda.
12. EXECUTIVE SESSION

8. LIBRARY DIRECTOR REPORT
The Library Director, Ms. Pergander, provided the following information:
a. Highlights from Director's written report
Since there are currently no Goals identified for 2015, the report focused on other activities. We are
preparing to launch two new e-newsletters, featuring programs of interest for patrons. New patron
computers have been deployed and are faster, safer, and easier to use. The annual audit is underway and
proceeding smoothly. There were 73 meeting room set-ups in March. The planned $991,000 transfer of
funds was completed. Pinterest has gone live. Our Digital Media Coordinator has received a promotion from
a former employer and will be leaving soon. Apple computers for Youth have been deployed and are quite
popular. Apple computers for adults will follow soon. We successfully completed the food drive for West
Deerfield Township food pantry. Nina Michaels, our Teen Librarian, participated in the Optimists youth
recognition ceremony by presenting certificates to teen volunteers form our teen program. The Youth and
Support Services area workspaces need additional and realigned configurations and furnishings. The
department heads and Director met with a furnishings consultant to plan these changes and obtain quotes.
The rolling chairs in the Youth study rooms have been replaced at no charge by the manufacturer because of
fabric problems. The replacement of the main electrical panel due to water damage form the summer 2014
flood has been approved by our insurance company and will take place on June 2 and 3. The Library will be
closed for those two days. A communications plan will be in place to notify community members of the
closure, and staff will be paid for the time as for snow days. There have been a number of recent DVD thefts.
This is being carefully tracked and some changes are being made to reduce risk. Judy Hoffman has
registered the Board for the July 4 parade, and red, white, and blue rubber bracelets will be the giveaways. If
the Teen volunteers join the Board in walking for the parade, we will be sure that a responsible staff
member is with them at all times until the end of the parade. Board members wear Board-logo polo shirts,
and we are buying them for the new Board members as well. Ms. Pergander also shared the new charts
about the Library collections and usage, which the Board appreciated. These were developed by Pam
Skittino. Ms. Pergander reported that a patron was recently temporarily banned for multiple violations of
the patron Behavior Policy. Because this occurred just before the Board meeting, she will bring the case next
month for further discussion, after obtaining more details.
b. Update regarding art purchases made possible by Friends' donation
The "robot" prints have been ordered, and will be matted and framed. These were made possible by the
Friends of the Deerfield Library as part of the recent Wish List pledge.
c. Update: Combination of lower level service desks and create seating area using existing furnishings
Next week we will be combining the two lower level service desks and also creating a new seating area on
the lower level. Staff members have been included in preparing for the changes, to assure role clarity. To
avoid staff injuries, we are using a moving company to move the large, heavy pieces.
d. Health insurance update for next year
The Library, Village, and Park District met about the health insurance pool and future changes due to
Obamacare. At the current time only minor pricing changes are being made, until the issues can be studied
further for implementation at the beginning of 2016.
In further discussion, Mr. Goldberg asked about the quantity of the July 4th give-a-ways. Mr. Abosch
suggested increasing the quantity by another 500-1000, to assure we have enough.
Ms. Pergander will follow-up, and added that any bracelets left over can be used at the County Fair or for
other events. Mr. Rivlin suggested using the bracelets to promote web traffic by including a mark (star?) on
a few for winners. Mr. Abosch suggested that perhaps it could be implemented at another event, such as
the Farmers Market. Ms. Pergander will look into it.

Mr. Simon asked about the new Administrative Associate. Ms. Trisha Steele explained that Ms. Mary
Holtrop, an experienced Business Manager from Sycamore Library, had recently joined the Business Office
staff and will provide about ten hours of business office assistance per week, replacing an employee who
left for a full time position elsewhere.
9. OLD BUSINESS

Mr. Simon announced the upcoming orientation session, noting that it will start at 9:30 a.m. Mr. Goldberg,
Ms. Pergander, and Mr. Simon outlined the plans for the orientation and May 20th meeting, when the new
Board members will be sworn-in. The Farewell Event for Ms. Pergander, on May 21st, was also discussed.
b.
Update - GIVING button for donations, and related donation information
Ms. Pergander noted that the Giving Policy needs to be finalized and Mr. Simon asked that the Board be
provided a summary.
c.
Update - Recruitment of new Library Director
Mr. Abosch reviewed the progress of the new director selection process. He said that Ms. Lynn Elam has
recommended four candidates for the Board's consideration. Next Monday the Search Committee plans to
review the recommended candidates and determine who should be finalists. The Committee also plans to
consider the logistics for the next steps in the selection process, including the naming of a possible Interim
Director. Mr. Abosch also asked Ms. Pergander if there are viable candidates in-house for providing interim
coverage as there is some interest from outside.
He also outlined the importance of the candidates' interactions with staff and asked how it might be
structured to accomplish two purposes: 1) to provide interaction with staff for the candidate, and 2) to get
staff input.
Mr. Simon asked to have staff send possible interview questions that staff have to Mr. Abosch so that the
Board can consider them.
d.
Follow-up regarding automatic interior doors
Ms. Pergander outlined the steps taken to address a concern regarding automatic interior doors. She said
she had contacted the patron who originally notified the Library about the issue and informed her of the
changes made so far to the door in the Quiet Room. The patron will check the door.
Mr. Abosch reported that he has watched for how other public buildings have handled this issue, and noted
that there were no automatic doors available in a quiet room he found at the airport.

Regular Meeting Minutes
April 15, 2015
MOTION: Mr. Rivlin made a motion to approve the purchase of a replacement server for the Sierra System at a
cost not to exceed $25,725 and it was seconded by Ms. Luisa Ellenbogen.
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman, and Ron Simon. The
motion was approved.
Other item for discussion
Mr. Rivlin said that patrons continue to say that the Library still needs some warming elements, and that he
is particularly disappointed in the fireplace. He suggested that some modifications, such as logs, might help.
Mr. Rivlin encouraged the Board to explore new options because it was a high priority during the creation of
the Library Improvement Project.
Mr. Simon asked for additional comments and Mr. Schriftman agreed that the anticipated ambiance is
lacking, and creating more of a real fireplace appearance would help. Ms. Ellenbogen also noted that the
surrounding area is not very welcoming and is not used as often as other areas.
Mr. Simon shared a list of issues that he hopes the new Director might help the Board to address and
reviewed some of his own high priorities. He suggested that the appearance and function of the fireplace
area should be added to the list.
Additional ideas were suggested by the Board members regarding how to make the fireplace area seem
more like a reading nook, such as adding coffee table books, magazines, or the Lucky Duck collection to that
area.
Ms. Ellenbogen announced that the Staff Appreciation Event will be on April 23rd. She and Ms. Dembitz had
reviewed what was done in the previous year, which included evening shift pizzas as well as a breakfast, and
recommended that the same be provided. The logistics were discussed. The event is funded by the Board
members.
MOTION: Mr. Schriftman made a motion to move to a closed session for the purpose of reviewing prior closed
session minutes and to discuss personnel issues, as allowed by law. The motion was seconded by Ms. Ellenbogen.
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman, and Ron Simon. The
motion was approved and the open session was closed at 8:25 p.m.
11. EXECUTIVE SESSIONa. Closed session minutes review and recommendation

Page 1 of 6
�Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees
Regular Meeting Minutes
March 18, 2015
was to rebuild the Reserves to about $2 million, in anticipation of future and ongoing capital improvement
needs. Mr. Rivlin also reviewed the ladder investment plan for the Reserve Fund monies at PMA.
Mr. Rivlin explained the suggested modifications to the Investment Policy. The Committee recommends
that the Board modify the policy language to better reflect the Library's investment practices, which are
more conservative than what the current policy allows.
He reviewed the Committee's discussion about
collateral. He explained that if a collateral holding drops below A quality, it must be replaced and clarified
that the A range includes A- as well as A+.
[Item 9-b was discussed here.] Mr. Simon reviewed the approval process for Board policies, noting that the
Finance Committee had already reviewed and recommends the modified wording for the Investment Policy.
c.
Recommendation to transfer $991,000 from the General Fund to the Reserve Fund
Mr. Rivlin said that the Finance Committee recommends a transfer of $991,000 from the General Fund to
the Reserve Fund.

Also at this point the Board discussed reconsideration of policy approval cycle and possible revision (Agenda
item 8.f.)
Ms. Pergander reviewed the current process.
After some discussion, it was decided that when there is a special committee related to the policy topic,
such as the Finance Committee and the Investment Policy, then that committee should review the policy
first. Some policies do not relate to another particular Board Committee and those should go directly to the
Policy Committee.
MOTION: Mr. Schriftman made a motion to approve the Finance Committee recommendations, which are to:
Approve the proposed change to routing of policies.
Adopt the proposed modifications to the Investment Policy which will result in a more conservative
investment policy, and
Transfer $991,000 from the General Fund to the Reserve Fund for the purpose of rebuilding the Reserve
Fund.
Seconded by Jeff Rivlin.
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman, and Ron Simon. The
motion was approved.

major fundraiser activities are the proceeds from the book donations, and a planned 5% cash-back day at a local
market. Ms. Carbine said that the Friends have $12,000 in reserves at this time, pledged to the Library. The
variety of books in the Friends' book area was discussed.
Mr. Ken Abosch announced that he will not be able to attend the next Friends' meeting; Mr. Mike Goldberg will
plan to attend.

LIBRARY DIRECTOR REPORT
The Library Director, Ms. Mary Pergander, provided the following information:
a. Highlights from Director's written report
At the Library Board's request, in lieu of Goals 2015, Ms. Pergander created a list of recommended Next
Steps for the Board and new Director to consider for future efforts. Hoopla was successfully launched and
has been so popular that we will need to limit patron downloads. We are discussing implementing
NovelistSelect at the check-out stations, to further enhance the patron experience. Ms. Pergander recently
served as one of the editors for the Illinois State Library's new edition of Administrative Ready Reference, a
handy resource for Library staff and Boards. Eleven personalized collection letters were mailed in February,
and as a result $866 of materials were returned to the Library. Ms. Pergander reviewed the list of Current
Building and Furnishings Projects. Many of the projects are very low cost or covered by insurance. Two
others could cost $5 to $10 thousand dollars. There are over 18,000 uses of library cards by patrons every
month! The 2015 Blind Date with a book was a big hit with patrons. Over 90 books were selected, and 64%
of patrons liked their blind date book.
b. Director's Annual Report At the Board's request, instead of the complete annual summary often created at this time, a condensed
version featuring the highlights of the Library's accomplishments was shared with Board members.
c. Progress report on Policy Review 2015
The management team has a goal of having all Library policies reviewed and approved prior to the arrival of
the new Director. Even those without recommended changes or revised last year are being updated as
Policies 2015 for clarity and completeness. The process is proceeding smoothly, especially with the
suggested change to the Board-level review process.
d. Recommendation to create Pre-school Coordinator position in Youth services, within existing FTEs
The Board received an excellent report reviewing Preschool Outreach, created by Youth Associate Kary
Henry. Preschool Outreach, like School Liaison, and Teen Librarian, is a specific and highly active focus of
our Youth Department, and an expectation of our community. To better provide the focus needed,
management recommends the creation of Preschool Coordinator position, within existing FTEs. (There is an
FTE cap in place from pre-referendum.) This position would be parallel to and the same job-class as the
Adult Programming Coordinator, the Outreach Coordinator, and other Coordinator-type non-Librarian
positions. In addition, we would post this as Internal Recruitment Only, since it is NOT an addition to
employee count (FTE). Our Youth staff have been serving this need as well as possible - it is time to
formalize the role within the organization. (See Board motion below, in this section.)
e. Recommendation to reclassify most Library Page positions as Library Aides, due to evolving and expanded
duties
We have been using the 2014 LACONI Salary Survey for comparative purposes in evaluating and
recommending market-based changes to our salary ranges. In addition, Patron Services manager and
assistant manager have been conducting comparative studies of the types of responsibilities and tasks
performed by Pages and Clerks in other libraries. As a result, they have successfully demonstrated that the
work being performed routinely by persons classified as Pages at the Deerfield Public Library is more
consistent with work classified as Aide or Clerk in comparative libraries in the nearby area. Therefore, the
Page positions are recommended to be re-classified as Aide positions, and the wages of the persons
performing the tasks should be raised to the new salary level of the Aide job class. Their titles will also be
changed. Temporary position Pages, such as those who only perform shelving duties during the summer
months, and NOT the higher level routine tasks done by other Pages (now Aides), will continue to be paid at
the Page job class level and retain the Page title. All of this is consistent with the recommendation made for
the salary ranges and was reviewed by Mr. Abosch in advance. (See 9.a. for motion)

Update regarding art purchases made possible by Friends' donation
The "robot" prints for the Youth area have been ordered. Other art purchases have been postponed.
Update: Combination of lower level service desks and create seating area using existing furnishings
Plans to combine the two lower level service desks are proceeding. The move/combination is expected to
take place on April 20. Afterward, a seating area will be created where the Adult Service desk formerly
stood, allowing us to utilize excess furnishings from the Quiet Room, and resulting also in a rearrangement
of the Quiet Room spaces and furnishings.
Plans to honor outgoing board members on April 15
Outgoing board members will be honored with some special features at the April Board meeting. Since Ms.
Dembitz is unable to attend in April, we will plan to honor her at the May meeting if she can be available to
attend.
Reminder of orientation on April 26 and May 20 swearing in of new Board members
The planned orientation is scheduled for Saturday April 25th - correction from previous date. We will begin
at 9:15 am. The meeting should be over by noon.
May 20th is the first Board meeting for newly-elected Board members. Kent Street will be present to swear
them in.
Although the orientation will provide a financial overview, at the Board's suggestion additional Finance
Training will be scheduled at a later date
MOTION: Mr. Rivlin made a motion to approve the Preschool Coordinator position, seconded by Mr. Schriftman
Vote: All ayes. The motion was approved.

b. Update - GIVING button for donations, and related donation information
No further changes have been made.
c.
Update - Recruitment of new Library Director
Mr. Abosch said that the recruiter, Ms. Lynn Elam, had provided the following information: She is excited
about three candidates so far; two from the Chicago area and the third is from central Illinois. All have been
in high-level leadership roles. Also two other highly qualified candidates are considering the position. He
said that the total number of inquiries was not available.
Mr. Abosch said that the next step is to prepare sample writing documents and create dossiers. He
discussed the background check process and how any possible conflicts of interest should be openly
addressed. He announced that Ms. Miriam Pollack will assist with research and other background activities.
Potential meeting dates were discussed. It was suggested that the committee review candidates on April
20th, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. May 5 was discussed for conducting interviews, and May 12th as a fall-back date,
although not all board members will be available.
d.
Follow-up regarding automatic interior doors, survey results, quotes, and possible approval
Mr. Simon reviewed the information collected by Ms. Pergander in a survey of other area libraries and
governmental buildings regarding interior assistance opening doors. He said that no local libraries provide
this option.
Mr. Abosch asked if any door besides those to the Quiet Room were being considered and it was confirmed
that those are the only doors under consideration at this time.
Page 4 of 6
�Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees
Regular Meeting Minutes
March 18, 2015
Ms. Pergander reported that the tension on the doors had been loosened, and it reduced the pressure by
about half. The members discussed ADA compliance, cost per door, other room doors, and possible
processes for obtaining assistance, if needed. It was decided that the Board has a responsibility to contact
the individual who brought the issue to their attention to see if the change made is adequate. Ms.
Pergander said she would follow-up.
e.
Update - Replacement of main electrical switch and possible insurance claim
Ms. Pergander said that the Library's insurance carrier had been contacted and will approve the claim.
There is a $1,000 deductible. It will involve closing the Library for two days to do the replacement. The
switch seems to be working at the moment. However, if the work is not scheduled, and the switch goes out,
then the Library could be closed for an extended time. There is a seven-week lead time for the necessary
parts.
MOTION: Mr. Schriftman made a motion to approve the replacement of the main electrical switch, seconded by Ms.
Luisa Ellenbogen
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman, and Ron Simon. The
motion was approved.
f.
9.
Reconsideration of policy approval cycle and possible revision
This topic was discussed earlier. See 4.c. above.
NEW BUSINESS
a. Recommendation to approve new salary schedule revisions based on LACONI 2014 survey
Ms. Pergander explained the process of developing the new salary ranges. She said that she and Mr.
Abosch, a compensation professional, had then reviewed them together.
The Board members discussed the impact of the pending changes to minimum wage. It was noted that the
Page position can go up to $10 without being too compressed with Clerk/Aide range.
Mr. Abosch provided information regarding twenty-seven other states that have already adopted revised
minimum wages and said that it is still under consideration in Illinois.
MOTION: Mr. Goldberg made a motion to approve the revised salary range schedule, seconded by Ms. Luisa
Ellenbogen
Vote: 6 yes - Ken Abosch, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman, and Ron Simon. The
motion was approved.
b.
Recommendation to approve policies reviewed by Finance Committee and recommended for Board
approval at its March 9 meeting, related to finance functions, as listed in the committee minutes
This item was discussed during the Treasurer's Report, in item 4-b.
c.
Reminder to submit letters of interest in Board officer positions prior to April meeting for May selection
Mr. Simon reviewed the process for nominating and electing Board officers. He reviewed past practices and
said that the Bylaws provide one-year terms for officers, and some officers can serve for more than one oneyear term if desired. However, the Bylaws state that the President cannot serve for more than two
consecutive one-year terms. Ms. Pergander reminded the Board members that officers will be elected in
May, after the new Board members are sworn in. At that time any of the Trustees can be nominated or
self-nominate for any office.

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.

Browsing
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

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

�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!”
Come on in and learn more about all this
fun stuff. You’ll find our non-traditional
materials in the Youth or Media
departments.

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.

Read Without Boundaries: Vol. 2
In 2018 we launched our year-long reading program, Read Without Boundaries,
designed to challenge readers to try new authors, genres, and topics. We had such a
great response to this program, and were honored when it was selected the winner of
the 2018 Illinois Library Association Readers’ Advisory Service Award.
Because of the program’s success, we’re excited to announce that the challenge will
continue in 2019, with an opportunity for teens to participate! Each month will focus
on a different theme and participants will be provided with a suggested reading list.
Participants can choose a suggested title or another title, as long as it fits the theme of
the month. In January, we will kick off the challenge by reading a book about Illinois
histoiy or a famous Illinoisan. Stop by the Adult Services desk beginning November 14
for more information and to sign up. Prizes will be awarded monthly and those who
complete all 12 months will be entered into a grand prize drawing.

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.

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!
